“Bloody hell! That’s six points for the nattily shod aqua lads, gov’nor!”
C’mon … a regular-season freaking NFL game in London?! The Dolphins can’t win a game in their own backyard, now they’re asking the team to fly across “the pond” to take an ass-kicking in other countries?! I can see the smartasses at ESPN now: “Miami is now 0-1 in Europe, officially making them the worst team on the planet” and “The Dolphins now have officially sucked in four different time zones” and “The ‘Fins played in London today and still lost … 4-3 to Real Madrid.”
Though it could get interesting if the winning team pours hot tea on their coach, seeing a bunch of people in the stands eating crumpets and saying, “Fancy a spot o’ tea?” could be a little too much for me to take. Somehow, a bunch of bad-toothed foreigners wearing jerseys made by London Fog (*fill in your own Ricky Williams/weed joke here*) seems like it’s going a tad too far in search of establishing more fans. But I guess I can hold out hope that some rowdy hooligans will seize Joey Harrington and beat him into submission …
So thanks a lot, NFL (Nauseous Football in London?). Miami played on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve this year, so why not maximize fans’ exposure to poorly played football by subjecting our allies to Dolphins football.
After all, it’s the least we can do for dragging them into Iraq, right?

"London hosted several NFL American Bowl preseason games in the 1980s and 1990s. The city also had the London Monarchs in the World League of American Football_ now NFL Europe - but the team folded."
But the team folded...could this possibly be because Europeans don't give a shit about the NFL?
It could've be worse ... it seems like it was close to being a Chan Gailey screen pass fest under the ol' flying Union Jack.
