OK, then.  Do they have a number for trillion?  I took Spanish in high school, but that was so long ago, they didn't have numbers that high!

I vote no.

 

 

Enough with overseas games

 

Bad for players,

 

Bad for fans,

 

Good for owners pockets.

Can we send a more competent team than the Jags to exhibit our sport to unfamiliar international audiences, ferchris'ssake. 

They volunteered, they wanted to see what it was like to have fans at a "home" game.

Your vote appears to be a little late, the 17 game schedule also led to more international games.

one trillion= 1.000.000.000.000.000.000

one quatrillon= 1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000

 

one billion in spanish is one millon of millons, in english is one thousand of millons

Thanks for clearing that up for me.  I have now learned something new for today!  (I think I'll stick to the little numbers.)  😁

Just a note.  My Spanish is rudimentary, mostly I use it to curse Spanish telemarketers very effectively, so the text I posted was from Google translate.

 

Rudimentary is fine. Start with donde esta el bano. I found that to be extremely helpful in Spain!

Certain places are better for certain things.

I'd rather eat olives in Madrid, and I'd rather watch the Bills in Orchard Park.

Olives are gross. 🤮

 

I get your point and wouldn't want to lose a home game for it but they have to travel to Seattle or Western Europe, it's not that much of a difference, they arent flying Spirit.

 

I am actually in favor of the 17th game being played at netural international site followed by a bye in addition to another bye week in schedule

Went to Madrid and the Bernabeu in November 2005. It was quite cold. So I took the big coat to the match. 5 minutes in sat in the top tier and I was sweating like a hippo in power shower. Looked up and there were heaters in the stand roof. Should’ve worn shorts and t-shirt.

 

Madrid won 5-0. Goal scorers were Figo, Ronaldo (the original) x 2, Beckham and Owen. Lovely stuff.
