It’s a 6 hour flight from New York to Europe...it’s a 5-6 hour flight from New York to the west Coast...
That’s a bit far for a football game consistently

That helps. Thanks. That team would be travelling from London for half of their games. No team should have to consistently travel that far for half the season.
I would think any MLB team who travels during the 154+ game season are the ones that accumulate major flight time.

162. But they typically play 3-4 game series and a road trip will span several cities.

Some coaching hire thoughts...
- Mike McCarthy is a very solid coach. As a Packers fan, I have seen his integrity and work ethic. He did his time in Green Bay, and he needed a fresh start as much as the team did. He's a class act. I can see him going the way of Andy Reid, who wore out in Philly, but then succeeded in Kansas City. I think he brings success to Dallas. I think he'll learn from his mistakes in the end of his Green Bay tenure. He's a brilliant football mind.
- I have never been a fan of hiring college head coaches to join the NFL. Two totally different jobs. It works here and there, but the majority of college head coaches coming to the NFL flame out in a short time span. Recent examples include Harbaugh and Chip Kelly. I just think there are a lot of coaches who can get a large talent gap in college, but then when they get to the NFL, they don't know how to handle the very small talent gap between teams. Not saying this will happen in Carolina, but just some general thoughts.

Sometimes it takes them a second try (looking at you Pete Carroll).

He recently had his NCAA record broken by Dwayne Haskins.. It would be a shame to have his NFL records broken just 2 years later.
At least the B1G took years to happen.

The State Medical Board of Ohio is officially considering a petition that asks Cleveland Browns or Cincinnati Bengals fandom be considered a qualifying condition to legally obtain medical marijuana.
Ohio is considering whether long-suffering Browns or Bengals fans can be treated with medical marijuana
Browns and Bengals fans don't fear -- help may soon be here. But it's not the franchise savior you've been dreaming of.

A final vote will take place this summer.
Until then, fans of the Browns and Bengals will have to stick to their usual coping mechanisms: hopes, prayers and dreams.

. They need to do what the rest of us Ohioans do.,, the never ending- “There’s always next year.”

I know it sounds crazy but it's definitely something I would do just for the experience of it.Shovel snow for free! GB is looking for several hundredfans to shovel the stadium seating area prior to playoff game against SEA.
At the very least, maybe beer and brats for a job well done?

It’s Wisconsin. They pay in cheese.
Was that after (one of the) Burfict hit(s)?Want to share my FB “memory” from 2016..
Amazing how year after year it’s the same story.
