    Looks good to me as well.

    I think Bradshaw, Johnson, Long, and Jackson's views all fall under "NO" with the current phrasing. It looks good to me.

    NFL -- Roger Goodell, owners, etc. are saying yes: http://www.nfllondon2007.com/

     

    Most network analysts criticize NFL's game in London

     

    Terry Bradshaw: "What's the point? … Get a team out here in Los Angeles before you start taking this stuff over the pond."

     

    Jimmy Johnson said he'd be "a basket case" if he had to coach a regular-season game overseas.

     

    Howie Long called the trip "a major distraction" for players.

     

    "A bad idea," ESPN's Tom Jackson said

     

    Woud that evidence work for this wording?

     

    Another version of wording:


    Is it a good idea for the NFL to schedule games outside of the United States?

    I guess that's kind of the same thing

    You must be so proud, JZipp. What's the debate here? Who is saying yea, who says nay?

    2/15/2008 2:03:49 PM

    Seeing as this is pretty much my suggested phrasing... I'm down.

    Sounds good to me, if there is evidence.
