The same idea could be applied to the NFL (perhaps more easily, since it is only one league). How about some comments on the "fantasy league" below: EASTERN CONFERENCE NORTHERN DIVISION SOUTHERN DIVISION WESTERN DIVISION New England Atlanta Cincinnati Buffalo Miami Cleveland New York Giants Tampa Bay Detroit New York Jets Washington Indianapolis Philadelphia Pittsburgh WESTERN CONFERENCE NORTHERN DIVISION SOUTHERN DIVISION WESTERN DIVISION Chicago Dallas L.A. Raiders Green Bay Denver L.A. Rams Kansas City Houston San Francisco Minnesota New Orleans San Diego St. Louis Seattle This puts all teams in the Eastern Time Zone in the same conference, and all the teams in each division in the same time zone (except Denver). Also, all the teams in each division are within 1,000 miles of each other (except Denver) and all teams that play in the same state are in the same division (except PA). While it breaks up some traditional rivals, it could create a lot of new ones (especially between the two NY and LA teams). Barry Gray AT&T Bell Labs Holmdel, NJ
