It still sucks though! Those London business men better open up their checkbooks to our charities! |

Maybe the Saints and the Chargers may pick up something from merchandise sales. But I bet you, Wembley will be graced by fans who favour Dolphins, 49ers, Cowboys, ...... and they will want to buy ......... er ........ not Saints and Chargers merchandise. |

Re: Loss Of New Orleans Game Questioned
I don't know too much about the UK, so forgive me if I'm wrong UK_WHODAT, but isn't our game during your rainy season? I could have sworn the reason the "Sports Experts" said the NY/Miami game (worst game all year) sucked was because the fields over there are not meant for football play, but are for soccer?
Feel free to correct me UK or should I say "Mate". |
