What do you guys think about games over sea's? What about an overseas franchise? I think it would put too much wear and tear on a team by just the travel alone.....

Reggie Bush does not have great power. He has everything else but he lacks power. I'm glad we got him tho
Peace y'all
I don't think there will ever be an NFL franchise overseas, but who knows, in 50 years anything's possible.
NFL Europe folded a couple years ago because it never made money for the league and the owners wanted to cut costs. For one reason or another American rules football never really caught on with sports fans in foreign countries; basketball and baseball yes, but they prefer soccer over American football.
But the NFL will continue to schedule a regular season game overseas once a year or so (Mexico, Japan, the UK) just to tell the world about the most popular sport in America. But an NFL franchise overseas? Not enough fan interest, international travel is too rough (especially if it's a transoceanic flight), etc etc.
You made some very good points about Alex Smith. He never really was set up for success, what with the arm injuries, the different coaches, the lack of talent surrounding him, etc etc.
I'm somewhat fascinated by these #1 overall QB's who failed to make it in the league. Tim Couch, David Carr, Alex Smith and JaMarcus (jury's still out on that one). My Bears have had their share of failed first round picks (Curtis Enis, Cade McNown, just to name two), indeed every team has had bad draft picks, it's the nature of the game. I think it's to his credit that he's pretty much kept his mouth shut about being relegated to second string, and even redid his contract so he could stay with the team. At least he's been a professional about this.
I remember Alex Smith in college, he was absolutely awesome his senior year, running Meyer's spread option. Now that the Wildcat has found success in the NFL, it's not inconceivable that Smith could run something similar to what he ran in college and be successful in doing so. Doubt it will happen anytime soon though, Singletary seems like an old school coach (not that there's anything wrong with that). Have the Niners run any Wildcat this year? I would think someone like Smith, who showed he could run and pass in traffic in college, could do some pretty special things with it. For one, he'd be a legitimate passing threat out of that offense as opposed to most RB's who take the snap out of that formation...

I don't like the games overseas at all. I hate how everything has to be multi-culturized...I'm not a biggot or anything...I just like America. I also really don't like all the breast cancer awareness stuff. I can understand the cheerleaders wearing the pink....but I can't understand why...if they have to "raise awareness" why not prostate cancer or colon cancer...something that affects men...more so then breast cancer. I may be crazy here...and I may be the only one with this opinion...I just don't get it. I want to watch smashmouth hard hitting football...not constantly be reminded of diseases which take so many peoples lives. Football is our escape from normal life. I can't image what it would be like to not have weed....I'd go nuts.

Well...despite the SAINTS stinking it up in the first half, they showed what they are really made of.... made the adjustments at halftime and came back to kick some dolphin arse.
At one point....the SAINTS were down 24-3....3 TD's!!!.....on the road!.....and came back to win the game 46-34!!! WHAT!!!?
4th game this year that they put up more than 40 points!
In case you haven't figured it out.....The SAINTS are for real ya'll.
WHO DAT!!!!!
