Why is the nfl playing in mexico
Are Mexico NFL Games Better Than London NFL Games?
I love the the atmosphere in Mexico
though it feels great it feels much
better than London games it feels like
there's much more of a buzz and
excitement yeah see for me I think my
biggest takeaway we lost so that might
have muddied my memories of the game
there because we lost the Blake bortles
and the Jaguars which we shouldn't we
should have won that game and we did on
had expectations of winning that's why I
had celebratory vitamin isn't it a plus
that it's a later game though because
Mexico is always gonna be at a late game
England's always like morning well yeah
yeah but like when you play in England
what time is it actually Flint why are
you playing it depends on what time zone
you're from right so for the Eastern
sailor time zone the world is much
different than if you're in the Pacific
even in America that's the case so when
it comes to timing I'm not sure that's
really cuz anytime you get off of your
normal routine like the Chargers went to
Denver and trading that for Colorado
they went to Colorado and drink so they
spent time away from their families to
go train for this time that they lost I
mean that's tough that's a done boom
that's a oh so I'll say more like fan
wise though like more in-game start at
9:30 here some started one here which is
7 o'clock over there but in London
though but I thought it had good energy
and that might strictly be because the
most memorable thing for me over there
was that Gregor that was during the
national anthem Cromartie came out our
national anthem thing was happening and
when they sing the American national
anthem this guy saying it he was an
opera singer sang very well but we there
was still drama right Antonio Cromartie
was taking a knee it was like it was
almost like in the NFL we wanted to move
past like it's like I hope this just
kind of and then whenever they sang god
save the queen' or whatever it is that
entire place was wide open as if they
were screaming it and I remember
thinking like oh this is awesome
like and I think that kind of clouds my
judgment on how I feel about their
energy because the game literally
started off with them all screaming at
the top of their lungs the national
anthem and then they would whistle and
they they cheered differently I think
then American fans
yeah right like clapping and whistling
mean two different things I think over
there for soccer players as it does for
us so I think they had pretty good
energy when I was there now it might not
be every game they have some stink games
and go over there before I get it felt
good but last night down there
that felt like an Olympic app but like
that felt like a that felt like a real
atmosphere now and I think that's just a
part of the culture like I think it's
just a part of the culture to lose their
minds in a lot of football fans that
felt like down there - also one of the
cooler things I saw last night I don't
know if they sell popcorn or not but
instead of walking around with like
popcorn the one vendor was walking
around with ramen noodle you want to get
people back in your stadiums here in
America you want you can do those
noodles out there for a dollar feels
awesome
think about that you want a beer for
seven bucks you want this hotdog for six
bucks or do you want these oodles and
noodles for a taller 50 noodles please
and can I get a the chicken seasoning
yeah yeah and then can I get a
loose-leaf piece of American cheese
that's genius every that giant sports -
and I made sports that big I was amazed
for who doesn't know yeah you have to
that's hilarious good for them that
field though a lot of ire from folks
they said it's a soccer stadium
obviously no concerts which they said
was the problem last year they've
nobody's been on it for two weeks so
that is the best that field was ever
gonna look and I thought it looked
beautiful at the beginning in the game I
mean it looks but it it was coming up
though I think there's there's different
styles of grass which is something
there's like the bluegrass the Kentucky
bluegrass and then there's like Bermuda
grass and then there's all these other
types of grass that are good for
different things by the way like one's
good for soccer one's good for golf some
are good for football
you got like that basic ass yeah
mid-level grass that is just good for
like junior High's and stuff like like
there's different levels of grass and I
think I mean I'm no botanist and I'm not
sure if the botanist is right answer for
this but their roots are different - I
think so some come up a little bit
easier or in different fashions I think
that grass last night was a particular
grass that might come up in chunks a
much easier which by the way soccer the
only time you're really sliding is
during a slide tackle which is in
regular football you're on the field a
lot so if that's like good soccer grass
might not be great football grass which
we saw last night there was people that
it look like they're on slipping slides
they're a couple
that was a that's a game-changer by the
way especially if you're playing against
a fast team like it's a shame tyree kill
couldn't stick around because he could
have weaponized yeah that grass for sure
imagine him just hitting the scoots and
person might ducks out I think that
grass is more used to 130 to 150 pound
players yes yeah that's what I'm saying
like I think there is different because
if you're 100 the players who said that
they didn't have a problem with it we're
all the wide receivers because I assume
they're just if they know when they're
stopping so they can put the brakes on a
little bit more the other people have to
be able to cut on a dime and ever slip
into sliding all over the place
