NFL Owes Tampa, Glazers For London Games
October 11th, 2011
Word is supposed to come down today from NFL owners meetings on who will host the 2015 Super Bowl. Tampa and Arizona are the supposed finalists.
In Joe’s mind this should be a lock for Tampa since Team Glazer took one for the NFL by hauling a home game to London again this year, putting its team at a competitive disadvantage for a pivotal conference game and stripping its hometown of all the revenue generated by a regular season game on Dale Mabry Highway.
What other team has bent over for the NFL like this?
Joe’ only concern is that somehow the NFL might make more money on a Super Bowl in Arizona, and the owners’ votes might reflect that. Joe knows the NFL is all about money.
Any league that would drop a Super Bowl in an outdoor stadium in New Jersey (2014) in February clearly doesn’t care about the quality of the game or the experience for fans.

Joe,
You have it backwards – the Glazers begged the NFL to move a game from Tampa to London – so the NFL owes the Glazers nothing extra for giving the Glazers what they want.
The only problem is the Londonites arent buying the tickets to see this undisciplined and poorly prepared team either. How many are we expecting Sunday? 40k?

I have to agree with Negative 2.2 on this one. I bet the Glazers were first in line when they asked for volunteers, knowing it wouldn’t sell out if played here.

Joe, Joe….please!!!!! I know Thomas 2.2 has the right to post but don’t you have any white out or something???? This guy has to be the most miserable human being on the planet. If the Bucs were a religion he would be ‘the anti Buc.’

The NFL awarded Arizona the Super Bowl in 2015

Thomas reminds me of Herman Cain: Now, I don’t have any facts to back this up, but…” followed by a bunch of crap he just made up out of thin air.

Where were you the last 3 week Thomas? Is it a coincidence that we didn’t hear from you when we were winning? You are nothing but a bad joke!

M Deeb, Herman Cain is a good man, and knows about 100,000 times more than the Socialist Buttface now residing in the Whitehouse, who can’t seem to keep his smelly feet off of OUR Resolute Desk. If you want to go there, just bring it!

No surprise that Tampa didn’t get the SB. No reason for theNFL to reward the team/city that can’t sell out games.
