That's like saying there is no Revenue in Kansas City. Oklahoma City has everything you need for a successful team. They have the huge fan base, the hometown loyalty, the love-of-football area of the country, the lack of another team in driving distance. Like I said. They sold out Every Single Hornets (NBA) game, Every Oklahoma (college football) and Oklahoma St. (college football) game. This is a better area than LA because the citizens live and breath sports.

Id love to see Oklahoma get a team someday, but with LA almost guaranteed a new team and any expansion probably years away, at least, I cant see it happening anytime soon.
They better not make an expansion team unless they are planning on making a couple at once, why make the NFL have uneven divisions? It's not a good idea.

And does he get paid by America as well?</div>OK, I just called in clarified with him. He does work on a work visa under the displacemtn rules. In order for a company to hire an American citizen they have to file deplacement paperwork saying essentially that "We can't find a Canadian with the skill set we need, so we must hire an American to do the job." The Canadian government then issues him a work visa. If he spends more than 4 months in Canada he has to pay Canadian taxes and American taxes For the work he put in in Canada. If he lives in Canada for more than 6 months then he has to pay taxes for both countries on 100% of his yealy income regardless of where he made it. However, his company has a service agreement with Canada that states that if he is taxed on 100% of his income for spending more than 6 months in Canada that the company will pay his Canadian taxes for him.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (JHair @ Apr 16 2006, 09:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>They better not make an expansion team unless they are planning on making a couple at once, why make the NFL have uneven divisions?

Move one of LA's basketball teams (the Clipps) to OK City if they love basketball.And replace the lost basketball team with a football team.Plus, the NFL is a business. When teams start losing, it's not like people are going to keep attending games . With college football, students and alumni fill the stands.

Green Bay has tradition.Most teams, especially expansion teams and the Bills, are that rich with a tradition.

I doubt the Bills would move, they have alot of history with the Dolphins and moving the team would end a very good rivalry.

I've always felt stronger rivalry ties with the Colts than the Bills (both used to be in the AFC East). Especially with the recent playoff battles we've had.
I know this doesn't really flow with the topic, but LA really deserves a team. C'mon it's like the 2nd biggest city in the entire U.S.
