Saints going to Brazil?

Can it be during the Rio Carnaval?

They might could show the Saintsations a move or two.

The NFL is a business first and foremost. It has been for decades. I can't think of any business that wouldn't look for more easy money.

Last I checked that doesn't occur in October or early November when the International games are played. I suppose they can change the calendar? Probably not.

So would McDonald's or Cane's.

I've never been scuba diving in Brazil. I'd love to be there for that game.

I understand it's about growing your brand, but now you are taking away games from your own fans. Or was this the plan when they added a 17th game for the season?

Bingo!!! You nailed it there. That why talk is moving to 16 international games every year with every team playing one neutral site game. We're probably only three or four years from that being the norm. They are already to move to nine games by 2025.

Who knows, if they can eventual expand to an 18 game season they can have 32 international games per year. That means huge revenues.

Thanks God for their greed or the league might have folded decades ago and we would have our Saints. I hope they stay greedy (ie. successful) and we have our Sints for decades to come!

Who Dat!!!
