NFL Game to be Played in London in 2008? Saints-Chargers

You heard it here first. I honestly do not quite understand what they're doing with this. NFL Europa failed, so why are we still staging games in England? It destroys the players' practice time and their scheduling near the mid-point of the season, and I am honestly sorry that they're dragging the Saints into this. Although I try to be as objective as possible, I feel in the interests of full disclosure, I should tell you I'm a Saints fan. Back to the point at hand though, why London? Canada is much closer, and they might have a team in Toronto (the Bills) soon. Why not test the possibility of an expansion team in the east coast? Or the prairies, where the CFL is (comparatively) huge? Mexico City is also an option, although finding appropriate stadiums and facilities is difficult. I think that the NFL should be looking at neighboring countries closer to home before sending their players overseas to a spot where the possibility of real expansion has been already put on hold for the foreseeable future. Okay. I'm going to finish to Norm Chow story and bring it to you as soon as possible.
