    So I thought 'London Game' was a reference to it being ass-early in the morning for a game, hence a joke that it's only fit for people across the pond to watch what with time zones and all.

    I didn't realize they actually *played* it in London. What's the appeal to British? Between Cricket and real Football, I guess I'm surprised that they can fill a stadium to make it worth flying two NFL teams out there, painting lines, putting up posts, all that shit. Game Tickets must be dirt cheap or something?

    I'm a little surprised it's that much. I figured it would be in the 12k range. Does he have multiple player safety fines?

    NFL fining Lynch more. 20k for "moving his cup" ;) and 50k+ for "I'm thankful".

    Didn't he get fined for his cleats as well?

    I think they threatened him with a fine and not being allowed on the field until he took them off so he didn't wear them.

    So stupid.

    I would love it if the entire Seahawks team just came out onto the field with those cleats on at the Super Bowl.

    Ten times as much if the league suspended them all and the Pats won by forfeit. The controversy and public tarring and feathering of Goodell would be worth not having that game (as a neutral fan).

    Nah, tickets are more expensive than a home game in Jacksonville, and they're to sellout crowds.

    http://www.ibtimes.com/nfl-london-ticket-sales-32m-revenue-wembley-stadium-sellout-crowds-report-says-1721419
    The average Cowboys home game at AT&T Stadium has drawn an average of 89,536 fans this season. However, the Jaguars played in front of a Wembley Stadium crowd in London that was far bigger than the average crowd at EverBank Field. Jacksonville currently ranks 21st in the league in attendance, with an average of 63,443 fans at its first four home games this season, a figure that amounts to 94 percent of EverBank Field’s 67,297 capacity.

    Moreover, the Jaguars’ ticket revenue from the London “home game” would have more than doubled its revenue in Jacksonville. The average ticket to Sunday’s game cost 80 pounds, or $127, while the average ticket to a home game in Jacksonville costs about $58. Thus, a sellout at Wembley Stadium could produce revenue of about $6.7 million more than a sellout at EverBank.

    Looks like you can still get tickets to two of the games next year, the Jets/Dolphins games is sold out. http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/nfl

    He got his first one for the late hit on Kaepernick, um, last season I think? So this is probably the standard second offense amount.

    When I was a kid (in the 90's) there was an NFL Europe development league. It did decent for a few years before the NFL pulled the plug with it being too expensive. Goodell sees Europe as the next big development for the NFL and how to grow the league revenue. You have to give them a reason to care about the games, though, and that means putting a real NFL team out there.

    Almost everyone outside of NFL Headquarters hates it, though.

    IMO, 17 game schedule, and the 17th game is in London. Match up the previous years number one seeds, number two seeds, number X seeds, etc. That gives London 16 games. Or, do 8 in London, 2 in Toronto, 2 in Mexico City, and two anywhere but LA.

    Anecdotally, the NFL has been getting more popular over here in the last few years though. Hell, the wembley games outsold a few of the England football team's home games.

    And while you guys are sweating out the off season, we have Rugby.

    Eh its still giving up one true home game and way way out of the way for a team.

    Also I can't recall if convicted felons can travel abroad to work like that as I know employees in the WWE can't, so some teams might be without players like the Jets would be without Vick.

    Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, or if there was actual malfeasance, it always warms my heart to see descendants of rich people kicked to the bricks and told to make it on their own merits from now on.

    Seriously, the only thing I've ever inherited was debt.
