Me: "Hey Wendover, NFL video?"
Wendover: "Airplane Video."

[nickgehr]

Title: *"Logistics of NFL"*
Content: *10% NFL, 90% airplane*

*BECAUSE WENDOVER*

[SamonMarquis]

The NFL should just play in London, Ontario and claim it's actually England. That'll cut down on travel time. Just CGI the background during panoramic shots.

Sam, I'm really becoming worried about this airplane obsession. I think it's time for an intervention.

Me: Oh Nice a NFL video
Wendover: Flying, 767, Chartered planes, American airlines...

"A permanent synthetic American Football *pitch* under its grass soccer *field* "

Good god man, are you trying to incite a riot or what?

[Fruitium]

Only Wendover can make an NFL video 90% about planes.

0:00 - “Ahh nice a video about the nfl”

1:06 - “Nevermind it’s planes again”

[malacki]

These NFL teams really need to cash in on their frequent-flyer miles, imagine all the reward they could get.

[PkedSome]

Logistics of huge tournaments like world cup and Olympics will be interesting to watch

[imjustsensitive-]

Only Wendover can talk about football and bring up aeroplanes

[mdogg]

I played baseball at University of Hawaii, and let me tell you, that travel is hell. Would have been a lot easier if I was being paid like NFL players do though.

Wendover: Makes a Video about the NFL
No One:
Wendover: Okay and this is how it relates to planes

New video: Wendovers logistics problem of finding new airplane related topics

[brsn]

0:00 ooh a football video, exciting


3:50 God dammit its just planes again

[dragonage]

NFL: We have a logistic problem
F1: hold my Heineken

[kidslovef]

But seriously, your videos are some of the best quality on YouTube, they are like mini documentaries, keep up the great work!

[TheMoosePad]

Personally id rather see an Hawaiian or Alaskan team before I see a English team. It could be a good proof of concept if the NFL can maintain a team in both or just one of those relatively isolated parts of the US. Plus seeing a team called the Honolulu Volcanoes or something would be really cool.
