I just quickly scanned through the article above, but I was quite surprised that Taglibue seems committed to expansion in Mexico.
"I think it will happen, probably in our lifetime, but I'm hoping to live a long time," he said, adding that players who might be concerned about living and working in Mexico City could be a potential hurdle to expansion here.
It may be a ways off yet, but I'm somewhat surprised that Mexico seems to be a more viable option than a franchise in Canada.
Any thoughts on NFL expansion outside the US?? ???

No more expansion.
Please.
If I had my way, we'd take back the franchises we gave to Cleveland, Houston, Jacksonville and Carolina, and make the Titans move back to the Astrodome, the Colts back to Baltimore and the Ravens back to Cleveland.

I believe that Houston and Cleveland fans would take issue with their former respective owners returning home.

And Elway would go back to Baltimore to make it to the Ravens SB win and the Ravens (Browns) fans wouldn't hate him at first but love him like we do....yeah, it just worked out all too well. I don't see anything good in it for the Broncs so leave it alone to further Bronco domination.

Dang, Boogerboots for a username. Now I have seen it all. Why didn't I think up something like that. Oh yea, because that is just plain nasty.

No, and this is from someone who follows the NFL in Europe. Itīs a North American sport, so keep it there.

I'd travel to Kali and wear my Chiefs gear to a Faider game before watching one in Mexico City.
That place makes Oakland seem civil...

I hear the Chiefs are thinking of moving since the city cant give them a new stadium.....Mexico Chiefs has a ring to it eh?

I wouldn't mind see them have their own league that plays seperate & we have one true World Series after superbowl or something. I think travelling to London for a game during regular season is too much.

The Texans haven't even grown out yet. There will always be teams that need rebuilding but lets not water down the league any more.

ny to la is a 3h time difference ... ny to london or central europe 5-6h. so lets say they send the seahawks here ... thats a 9 hour time difference ... and that truly f*cks you up, trust me. the flight time isnt the biggest problem.

One time while I was playing Madden on owner mode the Queefs packed up and moved to Mexico. I was the Cards and I moved to Vegas, I won the super bowl 8 years in a row.
