Something non-Giants related to ask you guys about this morning. The New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are venturing across the pond this weekend to play the NFL's annual regular season game in London.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to expand the number of games played in Britain, and possibly put a franchise there.
"The interest and the enthusiasm for our game continues to grow, and we want to feed that," Goodell said. "We want to respond to that by hopefully bringing more to the UK.
"I expect that sometime in the next couple of years, we could be playing multiple games here," Goodell said. "If we brought more than one game here, and it continues to have the same kind of enthusiasm and growth of interest, I think that is about as good of an indicator you can get that it could successfully support a franchise. And that's what we're looking at."
Patriots owner Robert Kraft supports the idea of an NFL team in Britain.
"I really believe it would be the right thing to do sometime in the next decade that there should be a franchise here."
What do you guys think? Is this a great idea, or a stupid one?
