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.”

OK, cry me a river over NFL players having to fly for 17 hours on a chartered jet, where everyone has all the room they need, all the food, snacks and fluids they want all, snd of their needs taken care…..

Then if the team isnt as stupid as LA was, the team then spends days getting acclimated to the time zone, in really cool places..

I actually like the International games because it’s cool to get a nine and 10 AM game on Sundays.

The NFL knows it has to continue to grow the footprint of the sport and it’s brand. The league has to think of ways to grow. There is so much market potential for the NFL overseas.
