European Teams Coming To The NFL

-

 


    There are multiple games in Europe this year, it seems like every time I wake on Sunday there is already a game on in Europe. There used to be just 1 or 2 but now there are games in London, Germany, or Mexico City, the NFL is looking to playing games across the world. But the NFL has always been rumored to want a team in London to grow the audience that has been growing rapidly over the last few years. The Jaguars have even got rid of one of their home games every year to play to Europe. 

    Rodger Goodell has hinted at having 4 teams in Europe because having a division would be easier on travel. “We’re trying to see, could you have multiple locations in Europe where you could have an NFL franchise, because it would be easier as a division,” Goodell stated before the Packers Giants game took place. 

    Now here are the questions that everyone will ask. Why does there need to be teams in Europe? How will it work if there are multiple teams in Europe? What if a European team wanted to workout a free agent? Will he workout in a United States site or have to fly to Europe? Will the players get paid in Euros or American dollars? How will the expansion draft work? What if players boycotted Europe games? Why not just bring back NFL Europe? Will there been enough fans in Europe to bring in 4 new teams? Will be just be 20 teams in the AFC or NFC? Will there be 4 new teams in the United Stated to balance out the NFL landscape?

    There are a lot of questions I did not mention that people have been asking ever since the NFL started international games many years ago. I think the NFL will expanded to European countries but also teams in Canada and Mexico in the future. The NFL looks to expand globally. The NFL will be the first league to put multiple teams in foreign soil since the MLB with the Blue Jays and Expos but currently only have 1 team left in Canada. 

    Here's why the 4 team division makes sense over just 1 or 2 teams in Europe. If you put an entire division in Europe, that means each team would get to stay in Europe for 11 or 12 of its 17 games. Say the Packers or Giants have to play their division crossover in Europe. They would stay 2 weeks over in Europe and knock out those 2 games then come back to America and play the rest of their games in the United States. I think we are about to have European teams in the NFL in 5 years or less. Just a matter or time, hopefully they have a cool name or uniforms. I cant wait to get a Carson Wentz London Monarchs in 3 years.

The Lakers Need A New Point Guard

-

       The Lakers are 0-2 and have one of the best players of all time on their roster. When healthy Anthony Davis is a top 10 player in the NBA, but man does he love wearing a suit on the bench. Or as Charles Barkley would say Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis. This team does not look together and does not look like they practice shooting in practice. I think its time to call the 6'0 point guard out of North Central College to come help the purple and yellow to bring back the Showtime Lakers.      The Lakers need a point guard, BADLY.  Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley and Kendrick Nunn shot 1-25 from the field COMBINED. Westbrook is constantly being left open and he thinks it's a bad rotation so he shoots. But defenses leave him open on purpose but he still shoots. I wish I had that much confidence in life as Westbrook open in the corner. Westbrook shot 0-11 from the field, I know I could make at least one. I like to think I'm more...

Bears Big Decision: Justin Fields or Caleb Williams?

-

       The Bears have one of the most interesting off season decisions to make with either Justin Fields or Caleb Williams. If you were to ask any Bears fan, the fan base is split 50/50 and understandably so. Justin Fields has looked like a different quarterback since coming back from injury and also has 3 games left to prove. The Bears are also still in the playoff picture as well to make a run but seems very unlikely at this point. Lets get into the argument for both sides then I will get into my opinion. Justin Fields : I think the flash has been there the last couple of games and we saw the same thing from Fields to end the year. Also adding DJ Moore was huge for Fields as he finally got a WR1. The Bears have 2 top 5 picks and could focus on building around Fields through the draft. The Bears could do a couple things with the first pick and the most popular would be trading down. With trading down, it would be 2-3 first round picks and also players. The Bears cle...

Chargers Wide Receivers Situation

-

    The Los Angeles Chargers went 5-12 last season and fired their head coach mid way through the season. The Brandon Staley era in Los Angeles did not go as planned for the Chargers front office, players, and fans that thought Staley was going to take the league by storm. The era is remembered by the Chargers blowing a 27-0 playoff lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2022. It was time to move on but they are still in a good situation.  The Chargers have their QB of the future with Justin Herbert who is 25 years old and just signed a 5 year extension, he is locked up to be the Chargers signal caller for many more years to come. But the wide receiver situation could be alarming from the outside looking in. The Chargers are in cap space hell moving into the offseason. The Chargers have to pay Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, Keenan Allen, and Mike Williams all set to have a cap hit of 30 million plus. Keenan Allen and Mike Williams combined are set to have a cap hit of 66 million ne...
