Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Why Their Rumored Move to London Is Beyond Disturbing

Every year when the NFL heads to London, the talk gets louder about eventually having a team based there.

So, the Buccaneers are the talk of the town this week. Sure enough, there's banter brewing that if the NFL eventually puts a team in Europe, it would make marketing sense to transplant one that has spent an inordinate amount of time over there.

Enter the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The British Parliament is even getting on board with this. Despite the fact that the Bucs are locked into a long-term agreement in Tampa, you never know what's going to happen these days.

There has been plenty of rumors and talk by the NFL—and now even banter by Raheem Morris—that it would be just great to have an NFL team in London.

Quite frankly, it sucks.

This conspiracy theory started not long after the Tampa owners—that would be your best friends, the Glazers—purchased Manchester United.

Obviously, they're fond of London. However, London and the rest of England may not be that fond of them, if you poll the United fans. Nevertheless, the boys certainly enjoy their trips abroad and now the Brits are making goo-goo eyes at your Buccaneers.

If you want to further connect the dots of doom, the Bucs seem to be ready and willing to play these games in London at the expense of some pretty good home games for their fans.

This Sunday, in Tampa, the weather will be perfect. With temperatures finally in the low 70s, it's a nice reward for those thousands who have literally paid high ticket prices to sweat their butts off, pay huge parking tolls, high prices for lousy concession food and beer at champagne prices.

So, sit back in the comfort of your home and enjoy the game on Sunday.

Enjoy your Buccaneers.

One day, they might be someone else's.

If they'll simply go ahead and telecast all the games from the London Bucs—well, maybe that won't be so bad.

Tampa is sure outside that 75-mile blackout circle from London.
