Heading out to watch the ravens vs mike vick and co. without Ray Lewis, hopefully there wont be drama and the Ravens win easily, but they havent had an easy game since week 3.

Will this be the week the colts lose?

NFL goes international

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2637594

2 games per season to be played outside of USA
Each team plays 2 games every 16 years international and will give up one home game per 16 year cycle.

Is the growth of the sport to places that really do not embrace it (Europe) worth the overall impact it may have on the league.
I would assume that they would have to have the international games as part of the kickoff weekend simply because of travel logistics and preparing for the game after the internationals.
Not to mention losing a home game sucks on the year it happens for season ticket holders of that team and the money that an NFL game brings into a city per home game.

Thoughts, especially from the Speedo wearing folks, does american football have any chance over there, especially just 1 game a season (assuming other game will rotate Canada and Mexico). I mean can having one game really grow the sport that much and does the comparison of regular season vs exhibition really matter?

Miami fight

kicking people in the head, hitting people with helmets, quality brawl-look for it on all the highlight shows-espnnews probably best option
