OMG.. if we get a game in London I'm there in a heartbeat! I was just there last week.

id love to have a couple NFL games in hawaii everywhere... the probowl is great and all but the players dont take it seriously enough for it to warrant a actual game feeling

Hey I didn't say it would happen---but I still like the idea!

I could see the Rooney’s volenteering to play a home game in London. They have always been “league people.” I don't like the idea, but if every team has to take their turn then so be it.

That`s a good idea...I just hope the Steelers aren`t last on the list.

That`s another great idea as fans would actually get more football and people in the UK wouldn`t feel guilty about taking a teams home game.
Could not the neutral games be played in American cities that don`t have a football team?

That would be a good idea, and a much better way of gauging if a city would be a good place for a pro football team. It's better than the "lets make a guess" policy the league has going on right now.

I liked the way the league scheduled the bye week for both teams right after. I mean, how cool would it be to have the Steelers/Cowboys? ---Talk about old school---- or better yet Steelers/Patriots ---then we don't lose a home game.

Not me, but if they are the away team, it is just fine.
