It seems like newscasters everywhere tried to get people excited that there was going to be a game in London the past few years. Well, they are doing it again this year. A lot of sports fans do not even care though.

First, most of us don't even live there.  It is not like we have one NFL game coming to the United States every year.  So most of the excitement is coming from people living in London or the country.

Second, it will not be a good game (I hope I don't eat my own words for saying that). The Patriots just gave the Titans the beating of their life last Sunday and I do not think it is going to be any different for the Buccaneers.  The Patriots will be playing with a lot of confidence even though they just whipped up on a team that had injuries galore on defense.

Last but not least, the whistles the fans will be blowing will not only make it boring but just plain annoying.  Wilfork talked about how they were getting used to the whistles already because they could hear fans blowing them outside the gates of the stadium.

London will be happy to see NFL football but to most Americans it will be just another game that we do not want to watch.  Since I'm a Patriots fan, I'll probably watch until it is a blowout.  However, I'm scared to get too confident and then watch the Patriots lose.
