    Default Chargers to London?

    So this was reported last night with a hint at impending division realignment.

    Apparently Dean Spanos wasn’t really happy with the report.



    Also, is this a “kiss of death?”

    Wouldn't be too hard to adjust divisions logistically. Would probably have to bump the chargers to the AFC east, bump the dolphins to the south, and move the Texans to the west. I don't know if it will be the chargers or not, but it just feels like a matter of time until London gets a team.

    I hope we get the London Broncos....I don't really.




    The Glasgow Broncos would be much more convenient!

    I just don't see how a London team works long-term. Just way too much travel.

    I don't think travel is that big a deal in this day and age. The planes they fly on are probably fancier than the houses most of us live in.

    I dont think it has to do with comfort so much as time zone and jet lag.

    It can be logistically worked around. Have the London team play blocks of 4 games home then away and so on so they don't have to jet back and forth each week. Then give the teams that have to travel there a bye the week after.

    I think there's just going to be too much money in this for the NFL for them not to make it work.

    I think this is why Phillip Rivers won't sign an extension. He's not going to move his wife and 30 kids to London!

    If he even averaged one SB win per five kids he'd be the GOAT.

    They would have to change their names completely. Even in London I would refer to them as San Diego. How about the London Collywobbles? Or Knob Jockeys? Lots of team names linked here.
