Hey Roger Goodell - If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Goodell is again making noise about putting an NFL franchise in London, which I think would be an absolutely terrible idea. The logistics would be horrendous and the travel would certainly affect the players and possibly the outcome of games both here and overseas.

Going to an 18 game schedule seems to be a certainty, though the injuries keep mounting with what we have. Goodell keeps saying that this is what the fans want, but I sure haven't heard any fans asking for it.

It's quite apparent that Goodell cares nothing about the fans, the players, or the game. He only cares about money.

2. BTW, John York is on the International Committee...
which is why the West Coast 49ers are playing in London following an East Coast road trip.

Name a more clueless owner in all of sports -- I dare you.

3. Bidwell is supposed to be a real piece of work.
Whoever drove the Montreal Expos into receivership should get an honorable mention.

The Texas Rangers had a future war criminal as the owners' front man for a time.
