Goodell keeps talking about a team overseas, but that is about as asinine as an idea can get.

indeed, teams have enough trouble traveling from coast to coast. i can't imagine loosing an entire day.

Plus, stick with me on this one, it wouldn't be a "National" but "International" Football League.

There are several cities that do not support the team they have. This area needs to quit with the paranoid delusion that the rest of the country is talking about us, and that they want to take everything that we have. It is absurd. It makes it more of a joke.

Take the **** about the weather from, of all ****ing people in the world, Bruce Mathison... if we didn't like the weather, we'd move. I like 4 seasons...winter gets a little long, and I love summer, but we get a little diversity, which is not a bad thing. I love the spring and fall...maybe even more than summer itself. If I didn't...I'd pack my **** and move. Everytime somebody comments on the weather, which is a dumb ****ing argument, we get offended?

The only thing working against our team is the uncertainty of it's owner. If we knew that Kelly, by some miracle, really had buyers that were writing checks...we wouldn't worry as much. What this team needs is the ownership to want them in Buffalo...and if there is an owner that intends to move, it may be harder than imagined to get that to go through.

Look what KC did to Arrowhead..that is what we need to do to the Ralph. Gus Johnson was on wood talking about it, and KC spent 300 mill on a total upgrade...that sure sounds better than 1 bill on the Jerrah Center.

What cities "covet" an NFL team??? Who wouldn't? The income from it alone has to be staggering to the businesses in the immediate area.

I don't know...maybe we should just talk about wearing the throwbacks or something...talk about moving always brings me down.

What are the Chargers going to end up doing?

[BertSquirtgum]

Re: What Cities Covet an NFL Team ? *****

the chargers have a better chance of being moved to L.A. than the Bills.

Re: What Cities Covet an NFL Team ? *****

LA's already lost three NFL teams...Even if they were stupid enough put another one there, they wouldn't last more than 10-15 years...again.

No mention of Vegas? Clown

Raleigh. If any other city than Toronto gets the Bills, it'll be Raleigh-- on the sole reasoning that they support the Hurricanes and they have a huge upstate NY diaspora out there.

Vegas-- the NFL hates Vegas. Never gonna happen.

Birmingham-- every team that's ever played in that city has started off strong, then when it had to go against college teams, imploded. Again, not gonna happen.

Memphis-- tried, failed. Less than 35,000 fans a game in 1997. Not gonna happen.

San Antonio, Oklahoma... plausible, particularly in the case of the former.

LA... there were a lot of reasons behind the Rams and Raiders leaving at the same time, including competition and the earthquake. One team could easily gain enough support to succeed in that market, especially now that USC has sanctions on it for a while.

Any city in Mexico... there's big support down there, so it'd be very hard to dismiss them offhand. The border issues, however, would be the most obvious problem.

Norfolk and Portland... I don't think quite yet, mainly because they don't have a 60,000-seat stadium ready.

I think if Oklahoma gets a team, it'll be OKC, not Tulsa. Near the OU hotbed.

You didn't get the Tulsa joke. A few years ago there was a entertaining poster here named Ice and he was from Tulsa.

Monterrey, Mexico.

Yuck
