    London is calling!!!

    All though the London Browns sounds like part of the song "London Bridge is falling down"

    Have to trade in your brewskis for a warm earl grey

    I live in London and would hate that. New franchise or no franchise. Preferably no franchise - this is american football, it's the National Football League, not international. If they base a team here it will be purely because of rampant money grabbing and that sucks.

    I'd rather see the european league started up as a 'minor league' version, over the summer (the soccer offseason).

    No

    And i wouldn't be a fan if a team from somewhere else moved to Cleveland.

    When has the NFL been about anything but that? Not since the 50s.

    They did that. Played for at least a decade. Not sure why it went belly up. Probably because it wasn't a rampant money grabber. The NFL can talk all they want about the concept of a minor league, but they want it to make money.

    An article from a while back on why it failed:

    Honestly... I don't know...

    While certainly I would not be a fanatic trading pixels here or anywhere else, day in and day out...

    And I also would not buy any team paraphernalia ...

    I cannot say that I would not follow the team...

    First actual problem with this statement is the word "again".

    There can be no "again" as the Browns have never moved to begin with.

    Is the premise of this thread that most of us would be Baltimore Browns fans if they retained the name?

    Could be! If they were the Baltimore Browns we'd all have TWO SUPER BOWLS!

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    I'd do something else on Sunday afternoon.

    (but just for the record H, a least doesn't make me any more confident than a marriage license. 😉 )
