Full title: Jon Gruden: “International games is the worst thing in the history of football. You're so excited for the season to start. And then you have to fly on a plane for 17 hours to Australia? Don't they have enough money? It makes me sick. It's not fair to the players; it's not fair to the coaches.”

Sounds like he had some money on the Rams....

In all seriousness, I never liked the fact that the push for international games would result in teams losing Home games. When they went to a 17 game schedule, I always felt that they should have included a neutral site game on the schedule. Not only would that be able to accommodate the international games, but some of these college stadiums are huge and I bet they could sell out an annual NFL game at Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, the Rose Bowl, etc....
