Pip pip. Cheerios. Al av a spo ah tee. Friggin’ British. I hate this. It’s not that I am too busy waving my American flag, eating hot dogs, and defending the Constitution to appreciate foreign cultures. I think it’s pretty ridiculous that most Americans don’t consider trying to learn or respect other cultures. However, that being said, leave the NFL in the United States. No one else plays it. No one else cares about it. We’re not about to start a European division. Ironically, I would be all for it in the NBA or the NHL. Those leagues could really benefit from some global expansion, but the NFL would not. I’m just glad this is technically a Tampa Bay home game.

John Cockell begins translating all of the fake Patriots fans that are just now jumping on the bandwagon.
