How the NFL can be stupid enough to let LA not have a team is beyond me. Folks say hello the the LA Jaguars.

Ive been hearing the jags for months now.
jax is a lousy spots town, for pro ball anyway, they dont show up and dont deserve a team.

The last I read Arnold supported a bill for a new stadium... So if they got a new stadium then yes they will get a new team...

How about the Los Angeles Lions? How about the Los Angeles Rams lol... How crazy would that be...

There's no need for expansion. Just move the Jags. Florida fans suck when it comes to supporting pro teams.

Los Angeles Dons.

That will be the name.

we're not paying for a stadium for the rich nfl. if they want to come here, they should build their own stadium.

yes they should, or the owner should with his own money.
I agree 100 %. LA has enough issues, doesnt need to foot a football staduim too.

It wouldn't suprise me however if they do add 2 more teams... LA of course and perhaps a suprise city... But then again your making 2 of the divisions have 5 compared to 4...

Do you ever see this thing going global? Overseas teams such as the game that was played with NE and TB... Can you imagine having to travel that far lol...

San Antonio was my suprise team lol... When the Saints were having Katrina they did well there... Vegas would definitely be interesting...

Could you add 8 teams in a certain amount of years? 1 team per division...

Las Vegas in the AFC West
Los Angeles in the NFC West

San Antonio in the NFC South
Oklahoma City in the AFC South

Virginia in the NFC East
West Virginia in the AFC East

Iowa in the NFC North
Dakotas in the AFC North

I think there is definitely a fan base for Las Vegas; but is the NFL ready for it...

Bank on LA getting a team. The Gov. approved LA to build a 75,000 seat stadium east of LA near Silverlake. The Jags and Chargers have been rumored to be suitors.

Buffalo was the frontrunner for moving to LA for a few years, I guess the NFL likes the potential of moving up into Canada with the Bills now.

I think they should award them the dallas franchise. Me-O said that it was a team of "stars", so LA would be a perfect fit for them.

They could have their own daytime drama staring Tony R. "As the WRs turn".

That Big TV monitor adds new meaning to the term "Big Screen Production".

And people in LA disappear when their teams aren't winning as well. A perfect match.

I think Buffalo will be in Toronto. I know the Bills are playing one game there this year.

They could keep the Star on the helmet and call the team the LA Stars.

They could move the Buffalo Bills to Dallas and call them the Dalls Buffalo Bills.

San Antone
las Vegas
LA and or San Jose
Austin
Columbus
Portland
salt lake (or somewhere in Utah)
OK City
Lexington KY

I don't understand how Jacksonville ever got a team. They already have one in Tampa and Miami and Jacksonville is such a small market. I think they are the most likely team to move.
