I'm sure the Devil complained and the league said anything for you Bill, anything at all:


NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL plans to cancel a scheduled exhibition game in China between Seattle and New England, Sports Illustrated reported on its Web site.

SI.com, citing unidentified sources, said Sunday the league will announce the decision to cancel the China Bowl early this week. The Seahawks and Patriots are scheduled to play Aug. 7 at Workers Stadium.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to comment Sunday to The Associated Press.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James told the AP that a team delegation had twice postponed a trip to China for planning.

"Any announcement would be a league announcement," James said.

The Patriots and Seahawks will not play a preseason game in China this August.
The NFL isn't expected to explore the idea of playing in China again until 2009, as the summer Olympics are being held in Beijing next year.
