October 25th Steelers will be in Paris

Product wouldn’t be very good or intriguing. It’s like sending over Chelsea and Man U for an inter-squad. It wouldn’t sell super well.

I guess what I was trying to convey was it just needs to be played in America in American stadiums paid for by American taxes so these precious millionaires don’t have to lose any of their coin. International games were originally preseason and I’m sure it was a trial run for how to do it and what kind of support it got. But I don’t think teams in such a tight race of dodging injury and other attrition should have to add that kind of jet lag to the equation. On top of season ticket prices people often have to pay PSL fees too so don’t rob a teams home fans of that game. Just my .02

I was finally going to take my wife to New Orleans. Oh Well.

same ,, my sister lives down there.

Worst move Germany made was bombing Pearl Harbor, otherwise we may not even have entered the war saving France’s a s s.

Are you Bluto from Animal House

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Roger Goodell gets boo'd with good cause. All about the money and F*ck us fans.

 

[Aussie_Steeler]

No,but if they had the game in Normandy,France,they'd be most welcome.


I think it's ridiculous and stupid to have a game in Paris.

Going back to Ireland would have been a far better choice.

New Orleans home game is the reason it's in France. Just as Pittsburgh have Ireland as a "home" territory due to the Rooney and city's Irish historical connections, New Orleans has France as a "home" territory due to the city's French history.

 

[SteelerFan448]

they need to just stop the stupid bullshit

Oh, I agree games should be paid in the actual home cities, that's just not realistic at this point. Wait until the NFL does like the WWE is doing with Wrestlemania and hosting it overseas. Could you imagine the Super Bowl in London?

There will still be more Steelers fans than Saints.

Goofy French! Wasn't for the US they would be speaking German.

…Or Russian.

 

[xjx]

There is kinda some global soccer tourney in the US this summer, isn't there?
Yippee!

 

[Drink IRON City]

We will probably get our Bye-Week the game before………………..or game after………….




Salute the nation

I didn’t realize it, but it’s normal for the bye week to follow a foreign game.

Also: Leaked that we have a “Black Friday” game at 3pm ET.





Salute the nation

Crazy *** Nazis! Bombing Pearl Harbor and sinking all those Japanese war ships. What was they thinking????

 

[ZonaBurgh]

8:30am for a Sunday Steeler kickoff is ridiculous.

So, a 5:30 AM kickoff for me.

Will it get to the point where every team will be playing an international game every year?

That's where they are aiming

 

[Drink IRON City]

That's where they are aiming

I think even higher than that.

I think they want to establish a whole conference over-seas, eventually.

I also think they feel like they are out of expansion team markets, thus looking for sustainable foreign markets.

Ireland / Mexico City / London to name a few that could support permanent teams.

I just think they will add the 18th game and everyone plays one international game per season.

What NFL player will want to move to a Mexico franchise ? That's preposterous as Kramer lawyer would say

 

[Hypocycloids]

Are you Bluto from Animal House

No.
No more than going through life fat, drunk, and stupid describes Coolie.
Because Coolie isn’t stupid.

 

[SteelerSask2]

Only positive is its at least an away game.

Salute the nation

There are a many obscure thought experiments regarding WWII history. One is if America never entered the European theater or Pearl Harbor never occurred, could Russia have won the war? Basically, was America’s formal entrance the tipping point for the Allied powers? Myself, I’ve always said Russia could not have won the war without active U.S. involvement, but, I’ve heard some people take the counterpoint in the argument. Without going off on an unnecessary tangent, you should get my comment.

Russian women are hot.

Thank you for reminding me of my Russian woman fetish, I nearly forgot. I’ve always preferred robotic, hearty women who look like Boris Yeltsin.

Who foots the bill to get the stadiums and fields together? Just curious
