NFL announces two regular season games in London for 2013 season

Roger Goodell announced today that two games would be played in London during the 2013 season next year. Interesting. The trip across the pond really does bring on jet lag big time for these players, yet the NFL still is pressing forward with more International games.

Pro Bowl in danger of being scrapped unless play improves....tough for the players to get excited about this "honor" at the end of the season. Especially when the danger of injury means loss of income.

18 game regular season still desired by NFL but the NFLPA is fighting it. The NFL would like 18 reg games and 2 preseason games.

Rich free agent pickings this week (the week after 6 team were on a bye)

1. This weeks free agency market could possibly be the best of the year. Why? Last week (Week 7)  had the most teams on a bye (6) of any time in 2012. So owners had to scramble a bit to find that QB, RB, WR, TE, Kicker or Defense as a replacement. 
2. What you will find is that some teams have dropped a really good TE, K or Def in order to pick up a quick replacement for last week. That means these potential gems are available this week and this week only. So scour the waiver wire even more intently this week and you could find yourself with a Matt Bryant ATL K etc.
