Possible division re-alignment in the AFC West!
The current speculation would be that the Chargers would move to the NFC and the Cardinals would be brought into the AFCW.

I'd like to keep the AFL roots in tact. IMO, they should never break up KC, Den, OAK and SD. History and tradition should mean something and be preserved. Plenty of other things can change. Just my take.

Agreed. Our friend glossed over it, so rather than steal someone else's joke, I thought the proper thing to do was call it out on its own.

Oh you mean there was this exception way back when the league first was starting up.
It is an anomaly, an outlier. The exception to the rule before it was a rule kind of thing.

If they did the SD for St Louis swap, it would then give us a additional home game every year

Where does this "rule" exist? Just curious.

Notice the "kind of thing" there? I have no idea if there is a "rule" in place. It only makes sense that the owners have some agreement about stuff like that for legal necessities and there is the fact that is how it is in the league currently. Maybe it is all just by chance but when you are talking about a $9 Billion dollar a year business there is not much of anything left to chance.

Also, if we want to look at states with three teams, obviously there's 2 from the same conference. So its not without precedent, and hardly a rule at all. States with 2 teams in the same conference: 4 California: 49ers (NFC) Oakland + San Diego (AFC) New York: Giants (NFC) Bills + Jets (AFC) Florida: Bucs (NFC) Miami + Jacksonville (AFC) Ohio: Cincy + Cleveland (AFC) States with only 2 teams in opposite conferences: 3 Pennsylvania: Eagles / Steelers Texas: Texans / Cowboys Missouri: Chiefs / Rams Skins and Ravens aren't both in Maryland. Skins are in DC.

You just can't break up DEN OAK SD and KC. That's way too much tradition.
Can't move CHI, GB, DET, MIN / DAL, NYG, PHI, DC / CLE, PIT, CIN either. **** Baltimore. |

**** that fly over nonsense. Denver, KC, Oak, Arizona would be best for the West in terms of marketing, geographic representation, and me getting to see afc west games in my town...
