5 is about right for the eagles, though i would put them ahead of the lions since all they do is go 5-11 every year. theyve never really had a shot and therefore and have never really felt pain.

the problem with the list is putting the cardinals 9th, which is 1000% will leitch's person feeling since hes the 1 human who stayed with them when they left st louis for arizona. realistically about 15 followed them in the sun devil stadium days. they are basically an expansion team.

This from perhaps the most provincial person on the planet.

Impressive work by Deadspin:
The Big Book of Black Quarterbacks

Quote"First of all, he's the best athlete to ever play the position. Sammy Baugh might be right there with him. I hope Randall can win like Sammy. But Randall could probably lead the league in punting. He's the best runner in the league, and if you can't see he can throw the football, I won't waste my time with you. I heard some of that black crap: 'Move him to wide receiver, move him to defensive back.' I don't hear those voices too much anymore. I go with what I know. I've been around professional football for 27 years. So I don't screw up too much."—Buddy Ryan, Eagles coach

what if

ice grillin you · February 08, 2014, 03:46:25 PM

dallas and wash can eat a fleshpop but philly ny MUST be in the same division

Diomedes · February 08, 2014, 04:30:16 PM

meh, I'd rather keep an active rivalry with one of the other two over NY

ice grillin you · February 08, 2014, 04:40:35 PM

there is no rivalry with wash and the dallas rivalry is all one way

Diomedes · February 08, 2014, 06:06:41 PM

whatever you say bro

Dallas is never leaving the East, regardless of rivalries.

Not sure I understand the point of the map. Is it supposed to be more logical to have the whole AFC East west of three other divisions and to have the NFC South be further west than the NFC West?

I think the idea was to reorganize the divisions by distance, starting with the northeast and working out west. It doesn't really work no matter how you do it, since 20 of the teams are on the east coast and everything west of the Mississippi is a barren wasteland.

It might work if the Seahawks moved to San Antonio and swap them with Arizona. And use mocking finger quotes when talking about the AFC West.

Or move the Seahawks to Oklahoma City and put them in the "West", put Arizona in the West, and move the Titans to the NFC South.

Or you can redo it lottery style. Label 50 ping pong balls with the names of the 50 largest cities and throw them in a lottery whatsit, have the teams go alphabetically selecting new cities from the whatsit and now they have to move there. Then you can figure out new divisions while listening to Green Bay whine that they don't have a team anymore.
