Both the Chargers and Raiders are considering a Giants/Jets type plan if both move to LA in the near future. Plan could theoretically go into effect as early as 2016.

They'd be willing to share the same stadium as a way to make the move more appealing to LA investors and also agree on one of them moving to the NFC for scheduling reasons.

New stadium would cost around $1.7 billion to build in Carson, California.

<font color=goldenrod>That looks fucking hideous.</font>

Switch one for the Seahawks. They made the AFC West a joke by removing them.

<font color=goldenrod>I have a hard time seeing Seattle getting moved out of the NFC with Seattle/SF being one of the most hyped rivalries in the league now but I guess you never know.

Feel like the Rams would be the team getting switched over for some reason.</font>

Lions GM wants the NFL to consider the idea of expanding challenges to include penalties but only for those called on the field. Can't use replay to force a flag to be thrown under his idea.

Used the example of the flag pickup PI incident from the Lions-Cowboys controversy as an example.

Obvious homer bias, but it's something that's always irritated me anyway. Something like defensive PI can potentially be the biggest play in a given game, even if we're just objectively talking from a raw yardage standpoint. To not be able to challenge a questionable call seems ludicrous to me.

I do agree with the "not using a replay to force a flag" part too. You can't throw a challenge because you thought there was holding or w/e... seems like that would cause way more problems than helps

I like the idea of challenging questionable calls. V much in favor of getting calls correct.

I think they should take out automatic first downs for penalties.

PI is one of the shittiest penalties in the NFL, right up there with holding penalties.

Droford's realignment plan

LA Raiders to NFC West
St Louis Rams to AFC South
Houston Texans to AFC West
Jacksonville Jaguars to NFC South
New Orleans Saints to AFC South

New Divisions
West
AFC Chargers Texans Broncos Chiefs
NFC 49ers Raiders Seahawks Cardinals

South
AFC Rams Saints Titans Colts
NFC Jaguars Buccaneers Falcons Panthers

That would give the Jags a fighting chance for once.

Why yall want to change the divisions

NFC WEST was the worst division for like 6 straight years by far, been the best lately

NFC South "a joke" last two years but was bomb ass before that

Almost like...teams are constantly getting better and worse in the NFL

If they share the stadium they might have to. Can't have two teams in the same division sharing the same stadium. Could be considered collusion otherwise.

Just swap the Raiders and Rams. They've both been horrible for a decade plus.

I think Raider Nation would probably riot on the street if you tried to move them from the AFC.

So all 20 of their fans?

and John Madden BOOM!

The Oakland Raiders have one of the largest national fan bases in the entire league, behind only the Steelers, the 9ers, the Packers, and the Cowboys.

How is that determined? Are you talking in history or in the present?

Probably jersey sales since Raiders jerseys usually sell well every year. Last season they were 9th in the league in sales.

Considering the Raiders used to play in LA...I wouldn't imagine it'd be a big deal

The Raiders are one of those teams that seem to have a random huge fanbase throughout the country regardless of how the team is doing.

Which is pretty impressive considering they don't really have any specific players on the current roster who seem like they'd be big jersey movers.

There are prisons in every state. HEY-O.

Might know the Chargers future within the next 3 months since the city sped up work on a new package plan to try to keep the team in San Diego.

The city originally wanted until September to work on a package while the Chargers refused since that would have given the Rams way too much time to get their own LA plan done. Also likely worried the Raiders would drop out of their sharing deal if the wait was too long.

Would really prefer San Diego to keep the Chargers and the Rams and Raiders move to LA.

Nobody cares about those irrelevant teams.

Seriously lived in 4 states and 4 countries in the past 8 years. No where ever have I met a Raiders fan.

LA sure cares an awful lot right now.

Says somebody who posted about the Cleveland Browns all season. :D

The Browns has an interesting and successful season.

I know a few Raiders fans... a lot of "bikers" tend to be Raiders fans

wonder if there's any official Harley Davidson/Oakland Raiders crossover merchandise

Seen lots of hoodrats getting by on the streets with nothin wearing bomb ass Raiders starter jackets

I actually own a Raiders Starter jacket. It was my Dads and after his wreck I took it. I haven't worn it since they were in the Superbowl last though.

Countless Raiders fans in every low income area I have ever been to. Most places, really. But I am located near the Bay Area, so that is kind of cheating.

Browns, for some unknown reason, have decided to tweak the colors of everything from their helmets for their uniforms.

Giants informed Kiwi he's getting released.

Redesign every NFL logo Browns style. Lol

<font color=goldenrod>Poor Browns fans. Even a uniform announcement manages to be a letdown.</font>

I don't know why they don't put that dog on the helmets. Or any logo at all.
