Roger Goodell "would not be surprised" if a Super Bowl is played Internationally

[Rubes]

McDermott will finally get us to a Super Bowl, it will be in London, and he'll have the team arrive two days before so the team can lay another egg.

If Europeans love football so much have them start their own league.  Let their kids bash their heads into each instead of just relying on American kids to do if.

 

Not to mention that some US city will not get the big tourism tax revenue bump.

 

I think they should play the SB in the city of the conference champ with the best record, but that's yet me.

 

He also said he wants a 18 game schedule.  So take out a game none of the regulars play in and add a game to the end of the season when guys are tired and banged up.

 

DON'T EVER TALK TO ME ABOUT "PLAYER SAFETY" if you do that. Really I don't want to hear it now since they added the 17th game.

His end goal is to land the SB on presidents day weekend.

The NFL developed and implements one of the best business models I’m aware of.    Create mass exposure and demand.   Control supply, guard it fastidiously, “see” tomorrow and innovate, reconcile radio, television, stadium, cable, streaming.   Pit delivery mechanisms against one another and have them bid.   Police the product.  Technology - anticipate it.

 

Europe isn’t coming it’s here.    Goodell’s comments are like the slow boiling of a frog in a pot of water.   One degree at a time, and the frog never leaves.

 

As the philosopher Ty Webb once said to Danny:  “See, your future … be, BE, your future.”

 

Paying for viewing, high end living room technology, locations in Europe and South America.   Stadiums are dinosaurs.    Why, in God’s name, would you spend $2 billion for 8 days a year?

True.  As Steve Young said a few years ago, "when you have a product with an inelastic demand, you can do whatever you want."

 

If it weren't for football, I'd hate the NFL.

Means the game ends between 5 and 6 and gives a early start for winning teams fans to burn the city down and loot those deals

Not sure I'm a fan of a mid-day super bowl... but as a ototo thing it would be kind of cool.

I am paying $400 for Sunday ticket plus YouTube TV to get every game. Why do I have to buy peacock to watch “exclusive” games now?

Well .. the starting time now for me is 10.20am…. My local bar won’t be open at 5am

[shane nelson]

Toronto here we come 🤣

[clayboy54]

Seriously, it’ll soon be pay per view, wherever it’s played.

[Saxum]

Goodell will likely try to implement two Superbowls in same season one on pay per view.

Not happening next year, the year after, 10 years from now, 20 years from now, etc…

this has always been the NFLs dream.  a worldwide football league with a championship akin to the World Cup.  FIFA makes ridiculous money off soccer worldwide and the NFL wants a part of it.  problem is,  US football is an expensive sport to play,  at all levels.  soccer all you need is 1 ball and a bit of open ground.  not sure American football ever really catches on in the rest of the world the way it has in Murica,  just too late to the party.

[Bad Things]

I sure love the game, but I am really disliking The Shield more and more. 
Fark Roger Goodell and all those Billionaire a$$….$, as they show no respect for the everyday fan. 

[Buffalo ill]

Would it at least be played at a time of day North America would normally watch?

Well their goal is to eventually make it flag football, so that would lower the cost.
