Do you like the Sunday a.m. games?

[oldunclemark]

I do...

I know its hard on the teams but its an early start to the game day..and the people there seem to enjoy them.

Seems the NFL want a franchise there and it would create a whole slate (at least 8) of 'London' games..

...and Mexico would be next, right?

[ColtRider]

Man, OUM. This is a tough question for me. I really do enjoy watching these games on Sunday morning. I just am having trouble wrapping my brain around the fact that the NFL is going to foreign countries and setting up shop in the future. I love England. I really do.

I guess it's gonna take a little getting used to after a team is eventually established there. It's kinda weird. I've always been one for change as long as it is positive. And this would certainly be positive. Gonna be interesting, that's for sure. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for expansion. Just never thought I'd see the NFL in other countries in my lifetime.

[Yoshinator]

Love the games as it's fun to wake up early and enjoy football, but I still hope they don't have an NFL franchise outside the U.S. It would completely kill the team that lives in London traveling back and forth most weeks. Mexico wouldn't be as bad travel-wise, but there's a lot of players that probably wouldn't want to live in Mexico, seeing how dangerous it is.

[-JJ-]

No- I'm not up Sunday morning

 

I like seeing games like thurs as a fan but this NFL greed is disgusting for the players. Half as much rest/practicing on the thurs short week. That takes a toll on the older players who are just getting back to speed by thurs and now traveling to England and Mexico and maybe Germany. Of all sports to shorten the rest time.

[oldunclemark]

Maybe they should stop sending the Lions over there, though....

KC 17-3..in the 2nd Q

[BlueShoe]

Love it.

 

They should have one every week.

[Nobody]

I think a Mexico franchise is a worse idea than a London one, which I'm already not a fan of. The truth of it is that players wouldn't want to play there as much as any other franchise.

As for the early games, I tend to sleep through them

I think some NFL players would love to live in Mexico City..

..and there's no time zone problems there's and no weather issues. I've heard the NFL is very popular in Mexico.

They already watch

[oldunclemark]

But its 38-3 KC..maybe the London Lions isn't a good idea

[RockThatBlue]

Being a lions fan has to suck

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

It's weird. Half the time I forget about them and end up getting a BR report score update at 11 and think "wth?"

[Moose Of Woe]

9AM - yes. 

In LONDON? No.

[oldunclemark]

Not going to be able to play at 9 a.m. in the states

[akcolt]

Not going to be able to play at 9 a.m. in the states

Games start at 9am every Sunday in AK.

[oldunclemark]

Games start at 9am every Sunday in AK.

ak?

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

ak?

Alaska, im pretty sure.

[oldunclemark]

That's funny. I thought ak was Arkansas...

Well, you're right..in Alaska...games on EST start at 9 a.m.

[Ryan Pelley]

I like it, though good games would be more enjoyable. I just don't care about watching the boring Lions or boring Jaguars.

[King Colt]

I can't  sit down and watch a game like that one. The Lions are to football what the Cubs are to baseball.

[shakedownstreet]

i'll enjoy it until the colts are forced to host a "home" game in london

[Shane Bond]

NFL really becoming popular in UK?.

They got their hands full in lot of other sports and losing them

[Myles]

I like it for having a game on Sunday morning.   More football to watch is good for me.

I don't like it because I think it is a waste of time.   The NFL doesn't really need the UK.   In fact the NFL Europe failed. 

I think they are doing it just because they have the funds to do it.    

I also don't like how it screws the teams that have to give up a home game.   That's complete nonsense.  

[aaron11]

nope, don't like it.  

 

the players and coaches dont like it either.

 

it also screws a team out of a home game

[jvan1973]

I would be pretty upset if the Colts lost a home game to play over there

[Superman]

Rumor is the Colts want to go there for the @ Jacksonville game next year. 

[Myles]

nope, don't like it.

But for football fans, it is pretty cool.   Players and coaches shouldn't matter.   They are such a small % of fans.  

[jvan1973]

I wouldn't mind it as being an away game. I still have a hard time seeing a team being there full time. That is a huge disadvantage for that team

[SilentHill]

I don't know, I haven't watched a Monday morning game yet.

[mikey287]

No, it's lame. Also, ditch the Thursday night game too...

[Nesjan3]

I cant warp my head around the fact that they want to set up shop in England and not Canada, fans here in Canada are nuts, if anybody has ever been to an NHL game in Montreal, Edmonton or Winnepeg its crazy!!, Bluejays baseball this year, Toronto is so close, so many fans already, great money to be made, it makes so much sense, yet its London and LA, and Mexico! seriously

[Nesjan3]

The USA has something against Canadian sports teams

[Synthetic]

The USA has something against Canadian sports teams

 

 

Same with all Soccer teams globally. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I prefer night games. I am a night person. I like when the Colts play at 430PM or Sunday/Monday night but we usually play at 1 LOL

[akcolt]

ak?

Yes Alaska sorry was away for a minute. 9am every Sunday gives you football all day. The Sunday night game is usually over around 7:30ish. I prefer games starting later in the day and running into the night like they do back home.

[wizwor]

Depends on the match-up, but I love me an NFL breakfast!

[OhioColtsGirl]

I love it. Waking up to football first thing on my Sunday morning is fantastic!

 

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the fact the NFL is playing games in other countries outside the U.S. My only problem with it is that each time they play in London, one team has to give up a home game and that's not entirely fair to the team or the fans who are season ticket holders.

I'm with you.

For selfish reasons, I love it.

Fair and practical reason, I'm against it.

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

i love games that start early on a sunday.................of course for me that only happens twice a year with the early playoff game kicking off saturday 430pm in usa

[King Colt]

No, Sunday morning is not TV time.

[jet1968]

I'm not for much of anything globally.  In the NFL's case it is about nothing but greed.
