Jags' London trip requires nearly 365 days planning

#1

This is a pretty interesting read on what it takes to get the team to London just once a year.

 

Story

 

"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Four days after he was hired, he was sent on a plane out of the country. In a way, he has never come back.
 
Hamzah Ahmad was brought in by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013, given a laptop and a phone, and then instructed to grab his passport and begin one of the tougher projects in his sport: planning an annual London journey for a team of football players, coaches, and even sponsors and cheerleaders. The process required help from flight attendants, postal workers, hoteliers and large ships. For those of us who will turn on electronic devices on Sunday and watch a game between the Jaguars and Buffalo Bills at Wembley Stadium, the product on the field will look like any other. Just one more trip for two teams.
 
Not hardly.
 
"It takes almost a year to work on 1/20th of your season," Ahmad says."
