i expect they just changed the date on an article from the 90s to create this -- nm - zork Oct 23, 12:03
There's just no way to make it fair for the London team or those that play them because of the time zone difference. -- nm - Inigo Oct 23, 12:02 6
- but if any league could do it, it's the nfl. one game/week gives you a reasonable amount of time to get over the jet lag. - mafic Oct 23, 12:13 1
  - This reminded me that the Super 14 rugby with Australia, New Zealand and South African teams probably has the biggest time diffeerences - Roger More Oct 23, 12:20
- I agree, I don't see how they can make it work the traveling. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 12:06
- they could have the London team do two road trips that last a month each -- nm - zork Oct 23, 12:05
- and the spending 6-10 hours on a plane each way, especially for theWest Coast-based teams -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 12:04
- plus if they expand past the perfect 32 team League they are freakin' nutso. -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 12:03
the London Fog! -- nm - big time shamu Oct 23, 11:58 5
- Time Lords! -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:59 4
  - English Muffins -- nm - big time shamu Oct 23, 12:11 3
    - At home games, they'd just be the Muffins. -- nm - David Oct 23, 12:12 2
      - no, those would be the cheerleaders -- nm - zork Oct 23, 12:14 1
        
        we would have accepted " tarts" as well. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 12:16
