Much of the talk surrounding the first of three regular-season National Football League games in London has been hijacked by the news that the New York Jets flew to England with their own toilet paper to replicate the comforts of home. We are either going to stick together or not.

“I’m not touching that one; I’m not saying a word!”
Stephen Ross, Owner of Miami Dolphins, said: “As the National Football League continues to grow in the United Kingdom it is very exciting to have the support of Mr Osborne and his colleagues in government”. They’ve been planning for this weekend’s game against the Dolphins at Wembley Stadium since they found out about it 11 months ago. A few of his work can be found on CBS-Miami (Dolphins), CBS-LosAngeles (Chargers), CBS-BayArea (Raiders), CBS-NewYork (NY Jets), CBS-TampaBay (Buccaneers), AXS.com, Examiner.com and other online publications.
With the game kicking off at 9.30 a.m. ET, Philbin admitted there would be “body clock issues” (London is five hours ahead of the eastern time zone).
The games at Wembley last season drew sellout crowds of more than 80,000 fans, for a reported total of more than $32 million (21.12 million pounds) in ticket revenue.
While coach Joe Philbin was non-committal on will start opposite Reshad Jones in Sunday’s game against the New York Jets in London, he said the competition to replace Louis Delmas is ongoing.
“Our job is to make sure we win“, fourth-year linebacker Coples, who is one of nine first-round picks on a talented unit, added. Skrine’s physical style of play and speed make this a favorable match-up, but his tendency to get penalized will be concerning if he’s caught in one-on-one coverage down the field. Tannehill will be looking to get the ball out quickly and accurately, which means a lot of Jarvis Landry and Lamar Miller. Degerness and the Jets are even anxious that they might lose players in the airport-particularly at the duty-free shops.
“I think there is a real possibility that could happen”, Marino said.
“Probably hang back to at hotel”, he said. In the early days of the NFL’s London excursions, which began in 2007, teams treated them like missions to Mars.
Still, Philbin wants his players to enjoy the experience of being in London.

“But then, as the years have gone on, the games here have got so much better”. Are they kidding us?
