A Super Bowl in London?

The NFL apparently is considering a Super Bowl outside the U.S., which would be a first for the league. The Sunday Telegraph has reported that the NFL has promised officials in London that their city will host the Super Bowl as early as 2014.
An announcement is expected at some point in the next year. The game would be played at Wembley Stadium, which will host New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a game next season and also hosted an NFL game last year. London will be hosting the Summer Olympics in 2012.
