International Games

[JHDK]

When the Eagles aren't playing in them, I have no problem with international games. As a matter of fact I enjoy them when they're in Europe because that means football starts at 9:30 a.m. Eastern and I get to watch it straight through until 11:30 p.m. because by the time the first game is over, the 1:00 slate is just about to start.

So I guess in general I wouldn't be super opposed to a division in Europe. Most people say that's going to go down within the next like 10 or 15 years so we'll see what happens. But if it means I get to watch straight through all Sunday long then I'm for it.

Today's game is a helmet matchup for the ages.

Steelers and Saints are two of the all-time great NFL helmets.

And I said it before I'll say it again. Hey Pittsburgh take a look at what the saints are wearing. That's what gold looks like. What you are wearing is yellow. It's not black and gold. So fucking pull your shit together with how you identify colors. You do have the better helmet of the two though, but just buy a hair. If the Saints only had their logo on the one side, they would win the matchup.

I'm not a sports guy, but .... aren't those both not-international teams?

There are no international teams. NFL teams occasionally play in Europe, for some reason.

Hah yea, but they played in Paris this morning.

Goodell is really into these games. It must be what he thinks will be the biggest new revenue stream for the league.

Ah interesting. Had no idea. Wonder why the hell they travel so far to play a game

It's like when Cheap Trick played in Budokan.
