Is this just so the Haslams can buy the Columbus soccer team or is this going to wind up with the Seahawks owned by a bunch of existing owners?

Shad Khan dropped his bid to buy Wembly. Can't wait to see how Britain handles the NFL trying to strong arm them into building a mult-billion dollar stadium for a team they don't want.

Eh? Wembley wasnt built for the NFL, unless i misunderstood what you meant.

The NFL thinks they'll have a team in London in 2022 and seemed to be betting on Shad getting Wembly to make it happen.

Right? But thats not the purpose Wembley was built for, so the NFL didnt strongarm Britain (and you mean England here) into anything

Yes so now to get a place to play the NFL will attempt to strong arm London (since we need to be super specific now) into building a stadium for a team the people of London don't want.

Premier League clubs have to pay for their own stadiums so I'm not sure the NFL would have much luck.

That's the point and NFL owners loathe putting money toward a stadium.

Are you foreseeing some kind of scheduling conflict with Wembley or the new White Hart Lane that will mean you can't play 8 games a year there? Or are you saying that the owner of whatever team wants to move there is going to have to pressure the local authorities into building a new stadium? Because no amount of strong arming will be effective or even requires in the latter. Just lots and lots and lots of palm greasing, backhanders, and cut-ins. The prospective owner will have to be highly amenable to enabling the local corruption to get anything past the pipe dream stage.

I'm saying I expect the NFL to pull the standard NFL bullshit when it comes to getting a stadium built. The difference this time is nobody actually wants the team moved there. Should make for a bigger fiasco than the Chargers move to LA.

London council will tell them to gently caress themselves as they are already paying off Wembley and the Olympic Village.

What's the standard NFL bullshit? We'll take our ball and go home? That's a bluff easily called. Some people might be a little upset that there won't be any more London games, but nobody will miss it or fight to keep them.

How many more ways do I have to say it's going to be a shitshow before you understand it?

Why the gently caress would StL even lobby for a team with another shithead of an owner. They're not gems as a group but drat I'd certainly rather deal with Arthur Blank than the Spanos clan.

At first, that Hyde trade is baffling, but shockingly, the Browns had lots of talent in the backfield. Looking forward to more Duke/Chubb.

Dorsey probably forcing Haley to loving use Chubb since his ypc is absurd and he gets maybe 3 touches a game. For gods sake he has 3 40+ yard TD runs.

I mean it's hard other than like, young Adrian Peterson or possibly Todd Gurley (or various all time greats obviously) to have more tools than Chubb has. I'll buy into the idea that he has no idea what he's doing in pass protection, but man they just never played a ridiculous talent up until now.

He's like every other rookie in pass protection.

IR has a long minimum time though, right? If they expect his recovery to be quick then this makes sense.

Assuming no one else grabs him.

8 weeks minimum if I'm not mistaken. They can stay longer.

Good thing Gruden doesn't have to worry about losing the locker room. Everyone is traded or cut before next season.
