I agree. But there you go. Who said the NFL was bright.

Now the NFL wants to dump some Missouri on the UK. Not that the UK will notice. We get enough misery everyday with the damn weather.

.....

Point.

Well the owners "soccer" team is in a decline somewhat and the owners ex-greatest show on turf football team has to contend itself with playing on the greatest turf on show.

Not really, college football is a free farm. Why create a farm league when you have a one that doesn't cost a dime. Granted, some players would have never developed or got a shot .. Warner, Delhommme off the tip of my head but so what, it's not worth the expense or trouble and that is the bottomline.
