AFC South is a joke. It basically 4 teams the league doesn't care about thrown together. That said that map is not going to work either, for lots of reasons. But I do favor re-alignment

How the hell was Tampa in the former NFC Central? Dallas, St. Louis or New Orleans were more geographically suited to be in that division.
Rivalries.
Im sure this has been posted before. Maybe even posted in here.
it was like county by county (parishes down here)
A big part is TV. For instance, Houston and Dallas need to be in different conferences. If they were both in the NFC, for instance, then there would be a few Sundays every year where parts of the state wouldn't get both games. Same with the two NYC teams.

All that yellow is disgusting.
All that brown is saddening.

This map is why I cringe every time someone says something like "Win it for the Carolinas" or "We brought a division to the Carolinas" when talking about the Panthers.
SC is not Panthers nation, especially as you progress further south of the border. You would probably find a lot more Terrible Towels than Panthers flags.

Still baffles me to see the Rams in the NFC west when it's laid out like that.
Also, is there no way to watch some classic games? I want to watch some Seahawks games from the 70s and 80s.

I see more Cowboys flags in Charleston than any other team.
What does that have to do with the gulf coast?

All that glorious Steeler yellow. Hawaii loves us too. I'm in Raleigh now and it's definitely a Steeler town.
There is a Wall of Hate between New York and the New England states. New Yorkers wisely keeping cheaters out along that border.

Does it have something to do with the military? Seems like a lot of soldiers are Steelers fans.
Nah, it's because of all the people that jumped on the bandwagon during the Bradshaw days because there was no Carolina team.

No. my quick and easy plan is better.
Ravens to AFC East, Colts to AFCN, Dolphins to AFCS. Swap Carolina and Dallas.
Problems solved!
Yeah, these were the two I saw earlier when I was searching myself. Fun to watch, hence my need for more! lol I guess I'll just eventually watch all the yearbook films since they're online.
=( That moment does have a nice segment on Bo's 30 for 30.
Also, that region map, I always figured Alaska was Seahawk territory. Odd to see be GB and Steelerville and only slightly for Seahawks.
We've been doing okay I guess.

Pretty much.
The Steelers fans in SC are pretty diehard now, but they for the most part jumped onto the bandwagon back in the 70s. Some would even call them the gatas of their day.
You do have some immigration from Western Pa, but I wouldn't say that's the major factor. Northern transplants are a much bigger deal in the Triangle region of NC (Durham-Raleigh-Chapel Hill) where you will find all manner of NFC East fans.

All that gold in the south should revert back to Cowboys territory once the Saints are irrelevant again.
I'm still really worried about this whole Bon Jovi/MLSE ownership thing of the Bills.
I still stand by the only way an NFL team could come close to working in Toronto if by some miracle we ever got a team would be by expansion. There's too much of a mix of fans for us to ever cheer for an existing team coming over here.
Don't worry, you'll be passed over for London.

Looks like I'm going to need at least 8 more bios, when I opened the prison intake it said at least that many would be transferred in the next time.

But that doesn't take into account when the Rams move back to LA and the Jags move to London.

Tebow just took the LA Rams to the Super Bowl and beat the Jaguars 38-3 and was Super Bowl MVP.

He's a FA so that don't count.

If Ryan Clark isn't already an FA, then he'll be ours.
What kind of adjustments would those be? Draft an elite pass protecting line during halftime? Get bigger WRs who don't rattle easily?
A lot of this is only bewildered "JUST DO SOMETHING WE'RE LOSING".
