He needs to:
A. NOT move the super bowl to London
B. STOP playing regular season games in London
C. MOVE the Pro Bowl to the mainland so the actual fans can go to the fricking game

his mettle is about to be tested in the next year or so. i know he represents the owners, and they play a large part in his power (at least in this area), but man if he is a total douchebag and it leads to a lockout...wow

Whatever happened to the idea of moving the draft around?

I really liked that idea but if that one fizzled off the face of the earth than maybe so will the london superbowl bullshite.

I'd rather the Super Bowl be in fricking Detroit than London.

While the SB out side the US would suck, playing regular season games in London is a billion times worse.

Either award the pro bowl site to the super bowl winner of the past year's superbowl or pick a few attractive cities like listed above and make a circuit. For example, in the former case pittsburgh would host next years probowl.

There are some gambling addicts who care about the Pro Bowl.

And I agree on the SB rotation, just not on the number of cities. Drop Tampa, Pasadena, and Tempe and add San Diego.

I think the NFL is doing that (as well as the one year move to Miami) to get some bargaining leverage against the folks in Hawaii. I seem to remember them talking about it on the broadcast this year that the Honalulu Convention and Visitors Bureau or whoever it is was wanting to raise the fees for the use of the stadium, etc or get a bigger cut of the revenues. The NFL pretty much said you need the Pro Bowl more than the Pro Bowl needs Hawaii and are using a show of force to prove their point.
