I really hate this idea, but it keeps popping up its ugly head. I think it’s bound to happen because of greed in the system but I still don’t want it to. If it does it wont be fast, first it will be L.A and Las Vegas, then merge with the CFL, then finally London and Mexico City. Godell wants to be a world sport, but he needs to conquer all of North America first. If they do here is what I think would be reasonable, I know it moves some teams around but I like how it would line up. Dallas to the south may make fans mad but it wouldn’t matter too much. They would still play the Redskins like every year. Just like New England and Indianapolis do now. It wouldn’t be so bad. Same with Miami, Kansas City, Baltimore, and Indianapolis. Regional will be better for expanding outside of the US. And with that, I hate having to put London and Mexico City but I think that is what Roger Godell wants his legacy to be. He was the commissioner who put a team in London. And by the time this is all said and done, the Labor agreement will be up again and I bet 18 games will happen. So 40 NFL Teams with an 18 game schedule? Oh and all in the next 10 years. Then by 2030 it will be 48 teams in 10 differn't countries! When will it stop!? Well I wish it would be 32, but if it stopped at 40 I wouldn't mind either.

NFL Expansion

Tarheelcmk Since: Feb 6, 2012	Posted on: February 7, 2012 2:51 pm NFL Expansion Prior to Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Giants and Patriots, NFL commissioner announced that the league isn’t interested in moving any teams. However the league is very interested in adding a team once again in the Los Angeles area. So with no teams moving, the only solution is expansion correct? That certainly seems like the case with Goodell however instead adding one team, the league could possibly add two teams to make the divisions and conferences balance out. Again one of those expansion teams certainly seems like it would be in Los Angeles with the other team possibly being in Los Angeles as well and playing in the same stadium. Pretty unusual considering the multiple times the NFL has failed in the City of Angels. But what does this means financially for the two expansion teams and the rest of the NFL? The rest of the 32 owners in the league could profit very nicely from NFL expansion… This means the expansion teams would fetch top dollar, likely more than the $1 billion the average NFL team valuation. Bankers put the range between $1 billion and $1.5 billion, depending on location and stadium deal. So if we use the midpoint ($1.3 billion), it means the 32 current owners would pocket about $80 million each. Adding any expansion team is always a gamble, but two in the same city that has a history of failing could be disastrous. At least they aren’t talking London expansion… yet. [ Reply to Comment ]

Bring it on! From Toronto to Mexico City to London to Los Angeles. Wow. What a Super Bowl that would be. [ Reply to Comment ]
