nick in* england Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 He only takes the bowling ball shots/bar for road games. The Pinto is a local low rider only. If it is in London - I'll officially open up my residence for Kenny to stay with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Why not just have one game at the Ralph and seven others around the globe????? It could be a goodwill tour......games in London, Moscow, Jakarta, Shanghai, Calcutta, Rio de Janiero and Brisbane........ 9 to 10 months later, we'll see articles about Willis having baby mama's in London, Moscow, Jakarta, Shanghai, Calcutta, Rio de Janiero and Brisbane...

Â Â i don't know how they gonna sell those tickets but we'd better keep an eye on this if we don't want to pay them 10 times the price thru some well informed scalpers! I know thousands of french football fans and players who are gonna be ready to pay big bucks to see any NFL game in Europe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Especially since the Eagles vs Bills game in London back in the 90's is what made him a Bills fan (his Dad liked the Eagles ) But he is a Bills fan now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick in* england Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Only Kenny? and not all other TBDer's? Of course - everyone is welcome who can make it! I'm moving from a 1 bedroom flat to a 2 bedroom flat, so it won't be a snug, but you are all welcome. Â Think you'd come over Hammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has been talking about going back to where her family (Bunker) is from. Her family has been in America before the french/American war. Germany no. Living next to the Ralph I never get to see a whole football game so it might be an idea. How long does it take to get a passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerme1 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Don't teams that play in games overseas always end up fizzling out for the playoffs? Regardless of the sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 If it is in London - I'll officially open up my residence for Kenny to stay with me. Â What about moi? Â Seriously, I have my passport and enough reward points for the airfare. I will SO be there if it's in London. Â Looks like you may have to take responsibililty for an "away" game Nick! Like we do here...block of tickets and negotiate some cheap rates in a nearby hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 It's going to happen at some point so might as well be now that the Bills are the home team. Â From the Buff News: "Every team in the league ultimately will get the chance to go abroad under a plan approved by league owners in October. The owners agreed to take up to two regular-season games a year outside the United States, with the possible sites limited at first to Mexico, Canada, England and Germany. There will be one this coming season, and Mexico and Canada were eliminated from consideration with Monday's announcement. Â New NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has pushed the idea, saying the benefits of reaching an international audience outweighed the negatives of some teams having to give up home games. Â The NFL intends to plan the games so that teams will rotate over a 16-year period, with each team playing outside the country twice over that span, once as a visitor, the other as a home team. That means a team would lose one home game during that span. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"  Exactly, let's kill the conspiracy theory but I can understand why some folks would be upset.  Personally, I think this is great - hope they get selected. I am a season ticket holder in VA so I air travel to all the home games I attend anyway. If they play in Europe, I will have to take a few extra days off and make sure my connections go through Amsterdam and include a layover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVJ Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have one problem with this.... Being a season ticket holder with over 10 seats. Would I have to pay for two preseason games and only get seven home games. Thats a screw job. If they take away a regular season home game they should make the preseason 3 games away and 1 at home.
