NFL to move a 4th game to London... I'm sure season ticket holders love this idea.

Makes sense, if ratings are down here and up there. Maybe they'd be interested in the Browns full time?

So the games are not mediocre and boring enough for us, we need to share the misery?
They tried a European league and European audience before, it didn't work, give it up.
One college game and one pro game as a novelty is fine.  Don't expect to expand your market share.  Especially when you have something like a Cleveland vs. Jets matchup.....   (Tony...I need a head banging emoji here)

When was the last time you saw the Browns full time?

Morning Daves, fishy, dean, and ElfMovinMayor.  Dang, quite a crowd this morning.

Morning, Mark. Been awhile since we've had to catch up on the banter at 7 in the morning.

Indeed.  Five pages and not even 7 am CST.  It's like The View here today.  Just surmising, check with Tony to know for sure.

Guess the cold weather is getting everyone huddled around the coffee pot... morning, Mark

Just cracked the freezing mark overnight here.  And the wind quit, so should be a nice day for our company Christmas cookout today.  On the menu: venison, hog, marinated chicken breast, various bacon-wrapped delicacies, lots of homemade sides, and two pies.  Oof!

You had me at Bacon...    It all sounds quite good. Our company feast will be next Friday. They will probably cater from the "home-cookin" place down the street.

Our company Christmas party is......not.

I'll consider our herf next week as the company holiday party. I hope I don't drink too much and get handsy this year.

Well maybe, i can't make it then...., nope not going to Somerville, Oh wait he has little fish to bother , OK maybe.

They're always full time, but they're like union workers - they only work for 10 minutes at a time, then they take breaks.

Bad idea, we're trying to make the NFL attractive. In exchange, the Brits will be playing their first 8 cricket matches in the U.S.

Oh, It's a total money grab. Season ticket holders still have to pay for that as a "home" game, and then they get to profit for the full house over there.

And I agree, they are really watering down the product already with Sunday and Thursday Night. Monday Night used to be the novelty... and they had good ratings even for ho-hum matchups.

If we were trying to make it attractive, we wouldn't keep sending the Jaguars over there.

Do they really still make season ticket holders pay for 8 games? Who the fuck would agree to that?

I almost never remember that there's a game on Thursday. There's always so terrible, because the teams are still recovering from playing 4 days earlier. It's ridiculous.

Howdy, Flip... Did you spend your CI $20 for the lodge?

Talk about a bad trade deal that Trump needs to renegotiate.
