NFL is a business, a filthy, dirty, borderline criminal business, and a lot of the original owners almost a century ago founded this league on dirty money, so don't think this league is clean, it's not. My point being, if the league stands to make beau-coup cash by expanding to London, it will be done, book that. Right now the powers that be are trying the London experiment out to see if the ends justify the means.
To those who think the NFL will be ruined by this, think again.
We will all still be here, on these boards, betting all the games regardless if it's in Arizona, New York, Foxboro, London, Moscow, Cairo, Mars, or Saturn.
Hell, half you guys would bet the Martian Green Men over the Saturn Spacers getting 4.5 points on Saturn's home filed (the fourth ring) because you like the way the Martian QB throws in Saturn's gravity.
