Not all, Pallie, not at all.
I just think it's funny. You use it to suggest "a serious analysis has come to the conclusion" when what you really mean is "my deliberate misreading of the facts suggests".
I would expect to see Green Bay, Wisconsin, competing in the County Cricket Championship before I'll see a proper NFL franchise in London, or any other city outside of North America.

Keith Obermann's Oddball last night had a clip from the Wembley fiasco:
showing clips of one Marc (k) Roberts, called a serial streaker, streaking au naturel around the playing field with bobbies trying to corral him in - seems he had quite a dash
it said he is famous for streaking at rugby and soccer matches - this no doubt was the highlight of a boring night for Brits attending.

London Fog would be a perfect name.
The London Fog clothes company goes bust practically every week. Then next thing you know, it's phoenixed again - a triumph of hope over experience.
Perfect metaphor for Blouseball in Europe, I'd say.

According to another pre-game article from USA Today Friday the explanation for whether or not it was a sell out:
article said capacity was 90,000 but apparently is 86,000
but it mentioned that quite a few seats had been taken out to improve the sight lines needed for proper football
thus it apparently was a sell out or well could have been
