Just saw on espn.com a poll about which teams should be contracted. Guess who the choice from the NFL was? :thumbdown No respect!

I just got the chills thinking about what team I would have to root for if that did actually happen.

Oh the humanity.

It's at the bottom right of the first page.

They just pick one team from each of the four major sports. Cardinals, Expos, Clippers, Capitals.

wonder if that has anything to do w/us being the lowest odds to win the super bowl every year for the past... what... 5 years? we're currently 150-1 odds. place your bets folks! We're considered a non-competitive team... sad. not for long baby!

All the teams to be hypothetically contracted all start with C, except the Expos...and they're from Canada...(insert Rod Serling music here)

If the Cards were contracted (which will never happen), who would you root for?

I think I'd pick the Chargers since it is the closest geographically. Maybe the Texans, I really like their GM.

why doesn't Vegas have any pro teams? of all places, you'd think they'd have at least one team. so, when the vegas teams roll around, i'll probly root for them, assuming the cards are contracted. which won't happen. but since the entire basis of this thread is in the hypothetical, i'm rooting all the way for the Vegas teams.... i spend enough $$ there anyway, i might as well be a tax paying citizen.

I'll still watch football but I don't think I'll root for any specific team.

Not to sound like a dumb blonde or anything... uh... anyway - contraction means they'd dismantle the team right? Thus there would be no Cardinals? (perish the thought)

Correct

BTW Do the people at ESPN really lack that much creativity? Because I swear that they do this poll once every couple of months
