The whole reason for re alignment a while ago. It may happen again if there is movement between time zones. Some of the protected rivalries may not get protected in the next move.

There will be no realignment. The Rams will stay in the NFC West and return home and the Raiders or Chargers will remain in the AFC West if either one of them joins the Rams in LA. The Raiders and Chargers both have stadium options that they are working on so they could both stay. |

I can see two teams moving to LA and then moving out of LA in about 20 years or less.

I also don't think they necessarily want teams that close together in the same division. If the Giants and Jets played each other twice per year, they'd each be essentially getting two extra home games. When the Giants are winning, the fan who can only see one game will buy tickets for the Jets game, putting the Giants owner's money in the pocket of the Jets owner. For two weeks, the massive New York TV market would only be able to show one game instead of two. Smaller-market teams would never see the large-market visitors. And parking lot fights would blossom. The same would happen in SF-Oakland, LA-San Diego, and Baltimore-Washington, among others. Not a chance.
I'd rather see them merge with the CFL - if for no other reason to see a team like Tampa have to go to Edmonton and play in their open-air stadium at the height of the snow-and-wind season. Watching 106 millionaires slowly freeze to death is my idea of a quality Sunday afternoon. |

I actually like that, even if I hate St. Loser.

I think the team that has embarrassed the AFC west with lack of playoff representation should move out of the Afc west

Make the new divisions, then have two games every year against your old teams that were in your division for the ones losing them. One home, one away. 6 games vs division 2 rival games 4 afc 4 nfc The 4 versus the afc and nfc could also give you the chance to face off against your rival team again for a home and away series. |

And it would go against if they set up natural rivalries. And also, the fact they are not moving to LA. And you smell. |

It should be called the Al Davis trophy until the Cheaps can actually win something significant

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
