2nd try at posting this.
The Miami Dolphins are slated to play the N.Y. Giants at Wembley on Oct. 28 6:00 GMT. I am interested in thoughts & opinions or indifference to this. It is a fairly big deal here as it will be the first regular-season game ever played outside the States.

Indifference from me I'm afraid. The only American sport I can watch is the NBA games.
Now, NFL players taking on an elite Rugby team I'd like to see.

'Merkin Football has never really took off here. It's very much a minority sport.
I don't think this will change things either, it has to compete with Rugby Union and Rugby League and we only know two players - Dan Marino and 'The Refridgerator'.

I think it's a good thing and as long as the tickets aren't ridiculously priced then I might consider going to the game.
It's different and will be a pretty good spectacle so yeah I'm all for it myself.

I watched the Dallas cowboys play the Chicago Bears at Wembley in 1993, but this was a pre season/exhibition game so the players weren't putting everything into it.
Enjoyed it though, wouldn't mind seeing a regular season game over here.

A regular season game ??? Bianual ??? is that a regular season ??? Red Ken said this october , then in 2 years , then in 4 years . American football it maybe , but where does the football come from ??? if our footballers touch it with their hands it's a foul ! Wouldn't handball be a more apt name ??? . JJ .
