If the NFL decided to expand or move a team?

Frankly I agree that the 32 team number is great.  At fifty years old I remember when there were half that number.  I would, however, move teams.  The southeast has far too many teams in the conferences.  With the large NCAA and NASCAR schedules move one of the Florida teams to Nebraska or Oklahoma.  I would then move the NO Saints to Arizona, and Arizona to NO.  Neither owner deserves a team.  Bidwell can't do anything right and Benton is a disgrace.  Notice Benton's been so quiet since his problem plagued city sold-out his stadium?  If they want to own them, fine, make them move them!!

They would fare okay, don't think they would challenge in their 1st season but they would improve as football teams as playing better sides has to improve you.  Don't think it will ever happen though.  The other teams need the revenue that comes from the big 2 in Scotland.

Yes, it's true. The NFL is considering putting a team in LA or perhaps moving a team to LA. Also, the NFL has been faced with suggestions such as putting a team in Las Vegas.\n\nTo answer your question, I think the Los Angeles Stars is a good option, however, it is also the name of a NHL team in Dallas. Professional leagues do not like to double up on team mascots because they want all the revenue for themselves. Additionally, Los Angeles is known as the City of Angels. However, MLB just added LA to the name of the Angels... they are now called the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (also for revenue purposes). \n\nTo sum up, the idea of having a football team in LA is good, however, I believe that it is not a venue in which fans would fill the stadium. As with most expansion teams in large metropolitan areas (such as the Houston Texans), it is very hard to start from brand new.

If things go as I see it. Someone will start a European League, and within a couple of years it will fold/merge with the NHL.

I think the NBA should expand the league too. I don't think it would delute the talent because I think there is more people playing basketball now than ever because populations rise over time. It would be fun to see more players to get chances to play if there were more teams.\nOklahoma City and Indianapolis technically have cities already...\nIt would be great to see the Clippers move back to San Diego.\nI'd like to see Columbus, Austin, and Las Vegas and other rapidly expanding cities that already have large populations to get new franchises.\nEither Kansas City or St. Louis would be good too because they love basketball especially there...

The announced this week that they are looking to put a team in Cleveland or St. Louis.  If a team goes into Cleveland, I'd think that it would not be likely that Detroit would get one.

pittsburgh should relocate to winnepeg.  their fans are great there.  they have more people who would watch the games .  that would put detroit  in the eastern conference where they belong.  the face of the west would change dramatically if it happened.

Yes, the A-League would like to expand, however, it would require teams that can go the distance and not dissapear owing to lack of finances in a few years.

Los Angeles\n\nIn 1982, Davis moved the team from Oakland to Los Angeles, California and the club became known as the Los Angeles Raiders, but they moved back to Oakland in 1995 being the only sports franchise to move and then come back without making an expansion team.

Too many teams and too games for one\ncountry to handle

When the AFL merged with the NFL, the NFL had more teams, so some had to switch. The Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Colts were the other two teams that switched.\n\nMost of references to that trend that I've heard refer to original NFL teams, which would include the Steelers. Furthermore, the Seahawks are originally an AFC team.

I'll take them one at a time:\n\n1 Mexico City- This would be a good choice. Big stadium, big market (all of Mexico). This could be a logical first global expansion point.\n2 Birmingham- I don't think the NFL wants to expand much more into the south. I could be wrong. Alabama is big for college football-I'm sure it'd be a big NFL state.\n3 Las Vegas- Absolutely not. For all the Pro Leagues, Las Vegas is the untouchable city. The gambling/sports connection is one they stay far away from.\n4 Hawaii- Not sure what kind of market Hawaii would be. Cities with weather that good, typically have people who make their own fun outdoors.\n5 Canada- Possible, although the late year weather would be a problem. Also, Canadian government protection of CFL could be a problem.\n6 Germany Could be a good first expansion if they went global.\n7 the UK- Would be most probable point for european expanisio\n8 Oklahoma City- Not sure. most people there are already Cowboy fans.\n9 Albuqueque- Could be a possibility. Small overall population of state is a drawback.\n10 LA- There will be a team in LA\n11 San Antonio- Texas is large enough to support another team. San Antonio would be a good bet.\n12 others- Portland, Connecticut, Virginia(Va Beach/Norfolk), Orlando(too close to Tampa ?), Louisville(too close to Cincy ?) Puerto Rico. If Cuba became a free nation after Castro's death, Havana(who played NCAA football in the 30's and 40's).

Very highly unlikely\nthere are too many good teams in the nfl that are much better at the moment...and first of all to have a good nfl team it all starts with the quarterback and they dont have a good one...they released kurt warner i think and he wasnt that great....all they have is edgerrin james at running back...but he wont carry the team to the superbowl...also to win the superbowl you need defense....so to sum it up they have no qb a good running back and good wide receivers actually but not a very good defense....they wont win the superbowl but they might be good this year if they get a good qb in the draft

Who? Guess it depends on the potential fan base and the ability to draw fans and make money for just about any team move.

It will be a while, but yes.  They have a lot of marketable talent at the wide receiver position, and they could use it to fill in some holes at other positions.  Joey Harrington is on his way out, and your defense, while leaving much to be desired, is a couple key players away from being solid.  Hopefully the Ford family can clean house (i.e. get rid of Matt Millen and the havoc he has wrought) before it's too late.  The Colts were in a very similar situation in 1997.  Bill Polian fired almost everybody from the top down in one day.  Nine years later, they're one of the premiere teams in the league.  Keep your head up, buddy.  If the laughingstock of the 80s and 90s can do it, so can you.

Chicago used to have 2 football teams, but the Cardinals moved to St. Louis in 1960 because their following was too small compared to the Bears.  Since the NFL has generally been reluctant to put teams in cities that already have one, they have remained a 1-team city.
