SI.com's Peter King also thinks Bucs fans got the short end of the stick with a home game in London, denying Bucs fans a chance to watch Tom Brady and gawk at Bucs cheerleaders.

Last week Joe brought you the story of the Unknown Author of the Bradenton Herald who wrote how Bucs fans were robbed of a chance to watch Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Peter King of SI.com must have gotten wind of the Unknown Author. King too believes Bucs fans were hosed out of a home game, as he explains in his must-read Monday Morning Quarterback column.

I guess I don’t mind foreign football, though I have doubts it will work. But if I were a fan in Miami, New Orleans or Tampa in the past three years, I’d have a big problem with it.

The New England-Tampa Bay game Sunday in London was a home game for the Bucs. The Bucs haven’t hosted the Patriots in a regular-season game in Tampa Bay since 1997, and under the current scheduling format, which calls for NFL teams to play at out-of-conference foe at home once every eight years, the Patriots won’t be in Tampa ’til 2017. Tom Brady will be 40 then. Who knows? He may still be playing, but I’d bet Brady will never play a regular season game in Tampa, ever.

Two years ago, the league moved Miami’s home game with the Giants — likely the only Giants-Dolphins game in Miami ’til 2015 — to London. That would make it a full generation, 19 years, between Giants games in south Florida.

And when the Chargers played the Saints in London last year, it meant no San Diego trip to Louisiana until 2016. So Saints fans in New Orleans will never get to see LaDainian Tomlinson.

What I’d suggest: The league should stop scheduling cross-conference games for foreign soil, or limit them. The Tampa fan probably wouldn’t miss an Atlanta game nearly as much as he’d miss Brady’s only appearance ever in Raymond James Stadium.

Joe is of the mind the NFL and warden commissioner Roger Goodell should just scrap this nonsense of playing regular season games in London. Nobody, but a few scant owners, wants it.

One of those owners is Redskins tyrant/owner Danny Snyder. Maybe Snyder should start worrying about his rotten franchise first before he decides to take over the world?
