    NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL's overseas success doesn't mean the Super Bowl is crossing the Atlantic or that the league is going back to continental Europe.

    More games could come to London, which will need a franchise before it can even dream of hosting the Super Bowl and that is some time away.

    "We don't have a timetable for (a London franchise). We want to continue building interest, and if it continues to go well we believe a franchise could be here. The Super Bowl won't be played anywhere where we don't have a franchise," Goodell said on Saturday.

    markaz's Take: Franchise or no franchise, the notion that the SuperBowl would ever be played on foreign soil is just unbelievable.

    This surprises me seeing that Goodell is hell bent on getting an NFL franchise located in London. I thought a Super Bowl would be after that.
