    Thats right. 6pm UK time is 1pm eastern. I would think that it would be around the same time again. I don't think it will be at Wembley though, Cardiff is much more suited to US football in terms of seating and pitch.

    I'd feel terrible if it was the Hawks or Chargers having to travel to London for a game. The flight from San Diego which I've made is pushing 11 hours and coming back is even worse......

    I can't imagine the NFL would steal a home game from the Seahawks who do have a great home field advantage but I'd imagine coming off a subpar year the Saints could be a prime candidate as Benson is an oppurtunist and a money gruber. Plus they score enough points to maybe keep the Brits interested.

    If it's the Bucs they should play the game @ Old Trafford so Glazer could get booed some more

    Don't worry, you'll have all of the other Seahawks home games to go to.

    Unlikely to be all that many Cockneys in attendance, I'd imagine. Probably won't be able to afford tickets. ;)

    There was another 'surprise' that Mr Kirkwood was going to announce too just before the superbowl...that wasn't discusssed thereafter. I'm hoping that its going to be season tickets, please please please. He did keep congratulating K-e-v-i-n C-a-d-l-e and Nick Halling , so methinks that they are in cahoots.

    Whats that supposed to mean? London is where all the money is at in the UK!! not like poor old Scotland!. I would certainly go if the Jets came over as i have been to the states the last 2 season to see the Jets.

    the only two teams that can't play in the UK are the Benglas and Raiders, bc half of their players would never be let back into the country.

    Ah, but they're CRAFTY, aren't they? They'd find a way in through some ragamuffin scheme or other.

    The real question is - which of my Jets jerseys would I wear? My Ken O'Brien, circa 1988, or my Wayne Chrebet, circa 1998? Or should I get a new one?
