    I’m still on Team 6 playoff spots > 7 playoff spots but we’re already here.

        ICYMI: While discussions are at an early stage, an NFL owner told @FOS
        that creating a four-team European division via expansion is something that is under consideration. The expansion fee for each team would be in the $3B-$5B range.

          I'm more concerned about fielding 4 more teams worth of talent than I am the time zone stuff. Then there's the schedule, the decrease in the salary cap if revenue doesn't increase to reflect 4 more teams getting a split of the same income, etc.

          Jet lag is way down the list of concerns w/ that kind of change.

            I'm against European expansion for the NFL, just to make that clear.

            I am curious, however, about what you guys would think about a Super Bowl being played in, say London or Barcelona.

            I'm just putting it out there to see what might be said. I can easily think of some pros and cons, but I'm curious as to your thoughts.

              I would say highly unlikely because that would push the Super Bowl up to the 1pm window and I doubt they would be willing to do that because of the scope of that game.

              Me Personally? I don’t really care where it’s played so wouldn’t bother me and I think the teams would love spending a few weeks over there.

                I am strongly against. One of the biggest claims during this rush of publicly funded stadiums (garbage IMO) is that the city would have the payoff of hosting a Super Bowl. Taking *that* away makes it a total non-starter for me before we discuss timezones or any other logistical hurdles. Sending the Pro Bowl overseas could be fine.

                  No way that should happen.

                  NFL doesn't need expansion or relocation. They're the one league out of the big 4 I can say that about.

                      I don't think the fan support would be there.

                        Cuban’s comments from 10 years ago starting to hit real close, regarding this league, despite its “popularity”.

                          Worst thing about April 1st is that every year somebody sends me some wild Browns trade (this year was that we shipped Chubb to ATL) and I always seem to have to research it because hey it's the Browns! Always ends up an April Fools joke.

                            A local meme page got me. Saying that the Commanders traded for Lamar and then gave him a 4 year Max deal.

                              Apparently Football Outsiders' writers are being stiffed on pay, which explains why their content has slowed to a crawl.
