New Orleans Ranks 53rd behind Milwaukee at 35th.

Too hot and humid in the summertime

One thing we don't have to guess at is TV market.

NY, Phil, and DC vs. NO, Tampa and ATL.

I am picking group 1.

Sure, but you never know which teams will emerge and the teams that win and have talent can/will build national markets even if their home cities are small. Some large cities seem to never be football towns no matter how hard they try or how successful they are and some little towns just have a global reach as we all know. Broadcast and streaming is where the $$$ is.

Too many of you are just looking to pick a fight. How many of you read my original post in this thread. In that original post I said,"If it were my call to make, I'd rearrange some of the NFL's Divisions."

To repeat, "If it were my call to make, I'd rearrange some of the NFL's Divisions." So you can bitch all you want, but It would be my call to make. So go cut Jerry Jones grass or paint his house and let it be.

Well this is silly. Kinda funny, but silly. You posted because you wanted feedback - and you're getting it. Have fun with it or don't post.

How much does Jerry pay to have his lawn mowed and house painted? I can have a crew there in an hour.

^^^^^^^
It depends on how good of a job you do, Jerry is very particular. I got great pay/tip as I'm good with the lawnmower. Painting, not so much. Was promptly bounced off the grounds when he got home and saw what I had done. Boom or bust with him.

When all else fails, we can whip the horse's eyes and make him sleep. And cry.

If you tell Jerry you're from Atlanta, NO, or TB he'll realize that you'll improve his financial position with your lawn/painting work.

What happened to Houston?

Weren't they supposed to take over from Chicago for #3 years ago? When Welcome Back Kotter was on TV, I would always ask my father about that sign that said Brooklyn was the fourth largest city in America in the opening credits. When he got tired of answering questions about the ranking of cities by population, he would dismiss the subject by saying: it doesn't matter anyway, Houston is going to overtake them all soon.

Houston doesn't have a lot of big population suburbs like most of those others. It has been sorta left out of the current oil boom because fracking doesn't apply to coastal areas or the other eastern Texas oil fields.

Houston is one BIG suburb.

I regret that a hypothetical reorganization has regressed to a, my market is bigger than your market discussion. The original idea was to place teams into more regional groupings as the NFC North already is. No teams were to be transferred from the NFC to the AFC or vice versa. Some rivalries would end, but new ones usually appear to take their place. Also, if such rivalries are that important, then teams will still meet every 4 years in the standard division rotation schedule. Additionally teams could meet sooner in the playoffs.

Moving some teams could introduce new life into divisions too long dominated by just one or two teams.

I never expected complete agreement on this idea, but as I should have expected there are always going to be the posters that delight in posting their disruptive and immature crap instead of impressing all with their intelligence.

Last, the NFL has already shown that expansion to places like London and Mexico City will occur someday. Cities like Toronto, Montreal, and possibly one day Havana could have NFL teams someday. Could Berlin, Madrid, Paris, or Rome also someday be NFL cities too?

Stop whining. There was plenty of good discussion and goofery. Pretty typical for a blog which was formed with the intention of being totally freewheeling. There are all sorts of Facebook groups with narrow focuses (foci?)with strict moderators that will keep everyone in their lanes if that's what you want (or so I've heard). And you can always go tell people to F-off on Twitter anytime you want.

I hope not.
