No you dummy. You protect the most important games. Division games.

Through 2026,, there will have been 63 regular season games played in Europe/South America/Australia.

Only three will have been Division Games:

Jaguars vs Colts in 2016*.

Panthers vs Tampa Bay in 2019.

49ers vs Rams in 2026**.

*Shahid Khan doing Jaguar in London things.

**As mentioned, Kroenke and McVay are probably tired of playing in front of 80% 49ers Fans in Intuit. I wouldn’t be surprised if they suggested this option to the NFL.

Odds were minuscule that they were going to pick Falcons, Panthers, or Buccs to be the game in Europe (if we didn’t protect them).

Saints should get ahead of this and announce what games they protected.

ESPN.com Article on Prospect of NFL having 10 International Games in 2027

From above article: "The league also voted to strip teams' ability to protect any home games from international play. Previously, teams could protect two games."

Anyone with a pulse and that could do a small bit of research would have known to PROTECT: 1) Steelers and 2) Packers.

Especially the Steelers with common knowledge that Aaron Rodgers was returning for one more game in the Dome before his retirement..

Gayle Benson and her Advisors instead decided to pick the upside of having the NFL pick the top traveling Steelers and having a "lottery", like they supposedly did when they hosted the Super Bowl and were allotted some tickets for Season Ticket holders as camouflage knowing that they could offload their whole allotment of Steelers Paris Tickets to brokers for 5X their face value.

Another example on the Benson regime choosing Personal Profits over what would have been a nice economic boost for the city + some fan service to Saints loyal season ticket holders.

Zulu, NOMTOC, and Mardi Gras Indians will shortly be awarded a grant from the city equal to $100 a participant to offset this for their participants.

Some people would say that the W was really stupid for after their opening weekend to have zero Saturday games and then have three games starting at the same time on Sunday.

We lead off with Las Vegas at Atlanta. I like Vegas with Rhyne Howard being out.

How has this thread gone so long without someone referencing yet that "teachers get their summers off".

What has happened to the OT that I loved?

So many A-List celebrities in the building tonight!

Nate Diaz looks like he could fight for the Dallas Buyers Club next.

I'd love to hear Uncle Dana's commentary watching this.

Nate Diaz hasn't fought since 2022?

I'm going to take the other guy.

This has been a great card...
