I agree. I get why the NFL wants to reach out, but it just seems like so much work for so little payoff.
Plus nowadays you can tune in, pretty much, from anywhere in the world.
The EPL, for example, is great but I don't need it played on American soil to enjoy it. I can tune and watch when I feel so inclined.

yep. Or just stick to preseason games for the international ones. Too much on the line to make a team lose their home game and then have both teams fly to a different country.

We stopped doing that Toronto nonsense. Once the Pegula's took over, they ended that pretty quickly.

Next year will be much more difficult as they will play a tougher schedule and Dak/Zeke will have a year of game film for opposing D-coordinators to dissect.
Wait, who is the Dallas fan here? Got em again!

Dude what does this have to do with you saying Superbowl or bust?? Going into to this season with Romo hurt, all the experts were saying here we go again and that we were done. Flip 11 weeks later now we are 9-1. You cant put the superbowl or bust tag on a team after 10 weeks in lol. Going into week 1 we were not slated to make the playoffs and were hoping that Dak could atleast keep us to .500 for when Romo was possibly to come back. Next year has nuthin to do with what we are talking about. Im simply saying this isnt a superbowl or bust year because we werent the favorites goin in. We are now a very young team that should be in the thick of it for many years to come. Simple as that. Now the bigger question is will your rookie QB lead your team to the playoffs? Hmmm worried? I know ours will lol. Got Em!!

Of course I can, and I have! Doesn't matter what preseason pundits say. The truth is told during the course of the season.
I'd be thrilled if Wentz could deliver a playoff berth in his rookie campaign, but I'm not counting on it. Unlike Dallas Philly is in a full fledged rebuild. Rookie QB, rookie HC, coaching/front office overhaul. I'd be happy with 8-8, as that would be an improvement over last season. Anything more that that(as I've said before) is house money as fast as I'm concerned. Got em yet again.

As I said with a full rebuild going on, I'm very happy with 8-8.

So nobody mentioned the Butt Fumble turning 4 years old today? No matter how many time I watch it that one never seems to get old.

First off in this day and age of sports rebuilding aint like it used to be. Weve seen many teams go from worst to first within a season. So with that I am never good with just 8-8. Also when was the last time yall won a ring? Oh yea yall never have lmao!! I wish I could loan you one of the 5 we got. As usual.........Got Em!!

3 championships, certainly been awhile.
Aaaand predictably the Dallas fan just jumps the tracks, devolving. I couldn't possibly care less if you're good with it or not. Just like you don't care about my thoughts on Dak.
Funny when someone on a message board says they are done...they are never done.
Can't wait for the next, inevitable, always insightful post. 100% Got em.

The butt fumble game was probably the only nationally-televised Pats game I've missed in the last 15 years. I was in the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis college basketball tournament and was at a game so I only got to see the highlights.

I remember at our family Thanksgiving dinner at my aunts house. Me and a few of my close friends were watching the game talking shit about Sanchez and then all of a sudden the butt fumble happened and everyone in that bedroom watching the game were laughing in tears. Good times!
