NFL COULD RETURN TO MEXICO IN 2010

Another topic that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed during his annual pre-Super Bowl press conference was the possibility of the league playing another regular-season game in the country to which former Raiders center Barret Robbins paid an untimely visit some seven Super Bowls ago. “We would love to come back to Mexico,” Goodell said in response to a question from an ESPN Deportes reporter. Goodell then explained that it won’t happen in 2009, but that negotiations with the league’s partners are occurring -- and that Goodell is confident that the NFL will return to Mexico for another regular-season game in 2010. The Cardinals and the 49ers played a regular-season game in Mexico City during the 2005 season. An NFL-record 103,467 fans attended the game. After falling behind by 14, the Cardinals scored 31 straight points to win the game. We have a feeling they’d be happy with a similar outcome on Sunday. As long as they can keep any of their players from making an unplanned trip to Tijuana during the next two days.
