In less than 10 years they'll have teams in Europe. It's very, very, close. 

Very successful games in Britain and now Germany. This upcoming season they will play in Spain, they are getting their ducks in a row.

They will have their own division then So they need a few more teams still. I’m sure London is ready and Berlin but you need atleast 3 4 more to make it make sense. Spain yup. Could Mexico join this international division. Maybe.

Mexico City will be in a US conference because of the time zone & travel distance. having a Euro Division won't be easy. I think it's a ways away from expansion.

Goodell himself openly talked about the idea of a 4 team European division.  He said he believed London could support 2 franchises so if you did that with Berlin and Madrid, there's your 4 teams.

Always thought the CFL should have started something there. Euro soccer stadiums just make NFL size fields look so small.

What do you mean? That we should have played games overseas in Europe?

We should have played some games there for sure. Better Europe plays CFL style then NFL style right ;)

It's a shorter flight from Boston to London, than it is Boston to Los Angeles. 

True but there's no border security to slow you down.

You pre-cleae security going to US and are at a separate security when you go to Europe.

San Fran DC becomes the scape goat fired today, also apparently the niners didn't know the new OT rules.

You help get your team to the Super Bowl, your team loses in OT to a  team who won it last year but get out, you're not a good fit.

Ruthless business.

And Tom Dimitroff thinks Mike O'Shea should leave the CFL for that pressure cooker???? He'd last a season, maybe.

48th mass shooting of the year already. I thought holy crap then I went to cnn.com and the top 5 headlines were all about different shootings. Another day in America.

NFL salary cap rises $30.6 million to record $255.4 million per team, to say business is booming would be an understatement.

How did the CFL ever miss the Gravy Train??? As a fan, I'd take just one tenth of that growth thrown our way. .

Much smaller population and audience which translates into significantly smaller broadcasting deals .. limited reach (in terms of global audience and awareness) and a somewhat insignificant approach over the years to grow the game at a grassroots level.

Football is religion in the US (I know you know this well);  Hockey is Canada's.
