Why does the NFL do this?
>>78207965
Because the Cowboys are a historic member of the NFC East
>>78207965
>>78207965
Cowboys and Dolphins got special treatment during realignment. If Dallas didn't play in the NFC East they'd be irrelevant.
>>78208354
lmao sure thing buddy
>>78208012
Geographically, who should be the fourth member? Steelers or Ravens?
>>78208836
Ravens
>>78208836
>>78208873
Miami should be in the AFC South and Baltimore in the AFC East.
>>78207965
>one game a week
Lmao who cares
>>78207965
Don't turn this into a fucking map thread.
>autism prevention month
>>78207965
Switch panthers and cowboys
>>78207965
>muh history
nevermind the NFL sanitizes its' product on a yearly basis
>>78208902
It's only going to get worse.
Because when they were realigning, Jerry Jones told Commissioner Tagliabue that he wanted to stay in the NFC East. And Jerry has a lot of money.
A LOT of money.
>>78208923
all the owners have money ya goof
>>78208881
And Indianapolis in the North. Makes sense.
Of course the NFL won't do it.
>>78208944
yeah forgot them
>>78208938
Jones has more that about three-fourths of the owners in the league. That gives him a lot of pull. The clown who owns Jacksonville couldn't get the league to do what Jerrah can get them to do.
>>78207965
>let's break up decades-old division rivalries for the sake of geographic autism
These type of threads are literal cancer.
>>78208969
How many more years does the degenerate have?
Will his kids be good at this or will they be the next Irsays/Yorks?
>>78208975
This. We have fucking jet planes.

>patriots in AFC Central
>phins in the West
What the living fuck?
>>78209004
Uhh...there are 32 teams. That's why they had to realign into eight four team divisions in the first place.
>>78209004
>NFC west
>only 2 teams are in the west
>once a week
Who the fuck cares, plenty of other sports have much worse travel schedules.
>>78207965
Because I'm sure Jerry lobbied to keep their "traditional" rivalries with these teams.
tl;dr $$$$
