The London Follies

The NFL needs to stop kidding their fans into believing that there will be a team in London. The Oakland Raiders hosted the Miami Dolphins there today and lost 38-14. The stadium was sold out. The league must be happy with two more games there this year.

Everyone talks about the logistics of having a team there. It's not practical from a travel point of view. It always sounds like a wonderful idea until you think about the burden of flying for the West coast teams. The London team would face a big challenge.

The league should continue to play a few games there annually. It's a great way to grow the fan base and add television revenue.
