That's funny because if someone were to ask me to name all of the NFL teams, I'd probably forget them or the Jaguars.

No reason why, the Texans just seem to rarely be in the media.

doesn't virginia want a piece of any professional sports pie? i know it's a police state, but come on...

Re: 34 teams in the NFL?!
 

Virginia Destroyers. Their not sure what's going to happen to the UFL anyway might as well incorporate those teams. Their already in place, and already have players.

the virginia vampires has a much nicer ring to it, the bloodsuckers

The state of "Virginia" will......fair well when the negative slang terms begin to be contrived.

what about the commonwealth of virginia? :Flush:

Re: 34 teams in the NFL?!
 

The NFL had enough teams when there were 28 teams back in the day. Now 34 teams will be in the league? That's too many. 32 teams are enough.

Re: 34 teams in the NFL?!
 

^ I remember when there were less teams but the divisions were bigger by one team. It was nice when we were;

Redskins
Giants
Dallas
Eagles
Cardinals

I specifically put the Cards last cause thats where they were every year :0

Edit: for this reason alone I'd take on more teams so each division could go back to 5.

I have lived in Richmond my whole life and have always loved the idea of having a major sports franchise here. I just don't think it will ever happen. We have been through a litany of minor league teams.

The most well-known of these, the Richmond Braves AAA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves just moved out of town because the a-hole city council couldn't get its act together to build a new stadium. We have also had hockey, Richmond Renegades, Richmond Riverdogs, Richmond Renegades 2.0, several arena league football teams. But none of them have stuck.

I think Richmond is a bit too small market of a team with allegiances divided between DC, NC, and MD. I would love for this to happen one day but I doubt it ever will.

Re: 34 teams in the NFL?!
 

Honestly, I think the only way VA gets a team is if we have a situation like the Jets and Giants, and have another Washington team.

So instead of Jersey/B, we will be DC/B

Well DC/A I guess...although we could technically be MD/A and the Ravens MD/B.

I wouldn't mind a division of five teams again. I think geographically speaking, it probably makes more sense for Carolina to be in the division. Which would be OK with me, because I would be guaranteed an opportunity to see a Redskins game live every year without having to drive all the way up to Maryland.
