As the Super Bowl winner gets to host the opening Thursday night, let the team with the number one draft pick be the home team in London for the second part of the Thursday night opening double-header. That way, we could see such rising stars as Luck debut.

There is no good reason to play it. Just name the All-Star Teams and let it go at that.

That might help you understand that London is 6 hours ahead of Oklahoma, so the Pro Bowl would start at 1AM London time in order to play in prime time in the U.S. You might also know hat he Glasier family who owns the Bucs also owns Manchester United, who is their version of the Yankees, and are worth more money than the Bucs. You might know that Sam Walton son in law Stan Kroenke,who owns the St. Louis Rams, as well as the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, also owns the Arsenal team. Arsenal is traditionally one of the top 5 teams in the Premier League.
My point being that the NFL and London connection is so strong that a low wattage game like the Pro Bowl isn’t of interest in London.
