Chris Long Pranked Lane Johnson with Fake Schedule Reveal

This is pretty good:
“Is this in fucking China?” Why yes, yes it is. Population 24.8 million. Third-largest city in the world. Bigger than Beijing, the capital city. The basketball team over there is the Shanghai Sharks, which is where Yao Ming started his career before joining the pre-Daryl Morey Houston Rockets. Jimmer Fredette had two spells with the Sharks and Sixers legend Kenneth Lofton Jr. is actually playing for them right now.
What’s funny is that it’s totally believable that the NFL would schedule a game in China. This year alone there are games in Brazil (Sao Paulo again), Ireland, three in London, Berlin, and then Madrid. Commies vs. Dolphins at the Santiago Bernabeau should be kinda sick if we’re being honest. But yeah, at this rate we’re gonna have the NFL Baghdad game in 2026 and then Giants vs. Cowboys in Tajikistan 2027, i.e. the “Dushanbe Dust Bowl,” featuring two teams lost to the sands of time. Then we’ll send the Jacksonville Jag-wires out to Senegal in 2028.
“From Duval to Dakar – it’s NFL Senegal!”
Crossing Broad should do the marketing for this.
