winghaz Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 CLE- Canton (OH) Bulldogs (like the old APFA/NFL team)You've made me change my mind, JH. Canton Bulldogs would be fantastic for two reasons: 1, Tradition; 2, The Cleveland Browns' Dog Pound.Give yourself (or your pooch) a couple of extra dog biscuits for that.

coggs Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 If you spread the NFL into 50 teams, most teams would suck except like 2. Isn't that what they said about expanding from 28 teams? Yes, they did and they were right. The league is filled with mediocre teams. Adding would only make it worse. Unfortunately, there just arent enough good QB's to support a league of 50 teams.
