The NFL released its 2026 schedule last week and the big news is that they are playing 9 overseas games this season in 8 countries. (London gets two of them as the NFL continues to prime London as a future expansion team site.)

Sports Illy did a nice job breaking down the travel status for each team (click here) along with providing some fun facts as follows:

Both of our local teams will play games out of the country as the Ravens go to Rio and the Commanders London. I have always wanted to visit Rio and thought that this might be a good excuse and time to do so. However, Pam and I have our own overseas travel set for the same September 27 timeframe when the Ravens play the Cowboys in Rio. Sorry, Pablo, I won’t be going to Rio anytime soon.

Only know one Rio joke. “I am going to Rio de Janeiro over Easter to see if I can find Jesus. I heard that He is really big over there!”

Buzzy’s will be open this Memorial Day Monday even with the lousy weather factored in. I know we need the rain, but does it have to be throughout the entire 4 day weekend as forecasted?!
