Apologies to Warren Zevon.
If the NFL was hoping to make a bigger splash this season in the UK after last year's dud by pitting the Saints versus the Chargers at Wembley Stadium Sunday, they're not getting much help from the BBC or London Times. The BBC online coverage is a little better, probably because they're telecasting the game, but neither seems to be providing the saturation the NFL craves. Too bad. I was looking forward to more coverage like this from the BBC's Martin Gough:
My favourite play sees them line up with four receivers clustered close to the offensive line, making it look like they will pass short or run to the corners. Instead Brees often takes advantage of defenders creeping up to launch a deep strike, with Devery Henderson the most likely recipient.
That's one of my favourite plays, too, Martin.

We should tell him right now to stick his paradigm up his infrastructure.

Quote from said blog: "But while the Chargers obviously want to do their best to spoil his Sunday at Wembley Stadium, many of Brees' former teammates will be happy to see him again."
