Sunday is my only sleep in day.....What's up with these 9:30 Sunday morning London games
 
Florida had problems supporting so many teams. Heck, buffalo is sending their team to Toronto to play half their games.
I can't defend Jacksonville; in the case of Miami, they are hosting a Super Bowl. Super Bowl host cities are required to have a home game in London before they host it, IIRC. And that sets a 5 year clock.

I can't recall the last time that Tampa Bay had a London game.... Just did a search... They played in 2009 and 2011 there.

Tampa seems to be an exception to this "rule" because they were the back up super bowl host (LA wasn't ready, as per one of my previous posts)... But there's nothing stopping the league from yanking a home game in the next few years.

There was talk a year or two ago about moving Jacksonville to London 100% of the time.


They are 3-1 there! I believe they have another year or 2 with a home game over in London. But they're has been talks that the league / London wants to extend it, so that London fans can become accustomed to a team / gives them someone to root for.


The Browns play the Vikings later this season in London
