Title: "Logistics of NFL" Content: 10% NFL, 90% airplane BECAUSE WENDOVER
-
-
The NFL should just play in London, Ontario and claim it's actually England. That'll cut down on travel time. Just CGI the background during panoramic shots.
-
"A permanent synthetic American Football pitch under its grass soccer field " Good god man, are you trying to incite a riot or what?
-
Me: "Hey Wendover, NFL video?" Wendover: "Airplane Video."
-
Only Wendover can talk about football and bring up aeroplanes
-
These NFL teams really need to cash in on their frequent-flyer miles, imagine all the reward they could get.
-
-
Me: Oh Nice a NFL video Wendover: Flying, 767, Chartered planes, American airlines...
-
Only Wendover can make an NFL video 90% about planes.
-
I played baseball at University of Hawaii, and let me tell you, that travel is hell. Would have been a lot easier if I was being paid like NFL players do though.
-
Of course the Patriots just bought some planes.
-
Logistics of huge tournaments like world cup and Olympics will be interesting to watch
-
NFL: We have a logistic problem F1: hold my Heineken
-
Personally id rather see an Hawaiian or Alaskan team before I see a English team. It could be a good proof of concept if the NFL can maintain a team in both or just one of those relatively isolated parts of the US. Plus seeing a team called the Honolulu Volcanoes or something would be really cool.
-
The NFL essentially owns a day of the week. Its big.
-
Sam, I'm really becoming worried about this airplane obsession. I think it's time for an intervention.
-
Wendover: Makes a Video about the NFL No One: Wendover: Okay and this is how it relates to planes
-
LA Rams should have taken that skillshare course on team logo design.
-
Roster is 53 but only 45 dress for a game
