Across the pond

{GALLERY}The Pro Football Hall of Fame, for the first time, will have an exhibit overseas. The Hall of Fame’s curator will travel to London on Wednesday to be on hand for a special exhibit at a Pregame Fan Tailgate party prior to Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The exhibit will profile the long history of professional football by displaying many significant mementos spanning the decades of the sport. The artifacts range from a nose guard worn in the early 1900s to Jim Brown’s jersey from the 1960s to more recent pieces of memorabilia like Tom Brady’s 2007 uniform.
