They will send teams over there. This is what the NFL does best, grab money. The return to Mexico City is the same thing, it's been years since the NFL went there so all that means is that someone wrote a check to get a game there and hopes to sell local sponsors and make a profit. Building our brand means how much $$$ can I make in the moment in the NFL. It's sad because I feel like thby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
One game a year in London isn't exactly a national thirst for a sport, LOL, c'mon with that. China does care about ping pong, it's the national sport so you know and the players are sometimes celebs. Do you want to reconsider your thoughts on that? It's one of many popular sports in the country. Badminton and hoops are up there too. Just because a few rich guys are buying British soccer tby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
It looked like he was going to sign with the Rams, then POOF nothing, and I haven't heard of any visits with other teams. He's been to the Pro Bowl 3 times in the last 4 or 5 years yet nobody other than the Rams showed interest and the Browns cut him a few months ago. I haven't heard that he has an out of whack contract..........so this leads me to believe that maybe there is something elsby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Include ping pong and badminton. Obviously soccer and basketball as well. SK is going to be dead for 30 years before the NFL gets anything resembling a foothold in China. This is about making money NOW, not developing a brand that he will never live to see developed. The NBA has been marketing into China since the 80's and it didn't take off until YMing played in the NBA. If they want to mby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

Outside of Rams fans in the USA and the well to do in that town in China who is going to mark this date on their calendar? This is miles away from a global opportunity. You are in marketing if I recall.......you know this.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Look at MLB and the NBA. Nobody in Japan gave a crap about MLB until some players from Japan came to the USA to play. The NBA is popular in nations where players on the court are from. International marketing, just like local and national marketing, starts with "stars".by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Fisher signed off on the hire, and may have even made the final decision, but the performance of the two will always be judged independently and that's the smart way to do it IMO. Snead is intelligent and skilled as a GM it would appear. Maybe he's been lucky a few times, some guys have careers that start well and fizzle out. But IMO he may be eventually drawing some comparisons to Ozzie Newsoby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
There were a couple of down years, and keep in mind the NBA set attendance records......check out this link: NBA LINK From the article..... The NBA set an attendance record for the second consecutive season. Fans totaling 21,972,129 attended games, passing last season’s mark of 21,926,548. The NBA also set a record for sellouts (723) and per-game attendance (17,864) and equaled last seasby LesBaker - Bucky's Pub

Unless he is a "good deal" I'd let him go to sign the "A List" players. But I'm not optimistic about anything when it comes to free agency in this new CBA era.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

No idea where he will go but I bet he wants to go somewhere..........Spurs maybe?by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
I didn't even know it was possible to do that without causing major injury. Mebbe you have to work up to it LOL. Needless to say RamRock, whom we all love (and miss) dearly, got ribbed about it for years.by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
Well actually two. He had good to fantastic QB's and good to fantastic RB's at his disposal. That helped an awful lot. Imagine if he had a scrub at backup when Green went down.........things would have been very different.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

Not everyone will automatically love LA. Plus for a lot of guys it's the money and that's all. So if a bigger offer comes along, especially in a state with no local and state taxes they will bolt. The rookie cap is making more guys go after the big second contract, I don't like it, but it's the truth.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
They haven't drafted as well as they did, or at least the hit rate seems lower because there are no new stars other than the RB. 11-3 12-4 10-6 Hmmmmmm...............possibly a slow decline like the Bucs saw in their heyday..........of having a QB that has developed into a good one will help A LOT, but when you lose a lot of support it makes it harder to win and I think that's what's goiby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

It was one or two of the knuckleheads on ESPN......... It means nothing really if he isn't on the field as a starter for the early portion of the season. If he is getting mop up duty but Fisher isn't having him start I don't see a big deal.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
