    Imagine this. You are an owner, and you are given the rights to the 33rd franchise in the NFL. YOu have the following choices, who/what would you choose.

    1. City
    2. Team name
    3. GM
    4. Coach
    5. O coordinator
    6. D Coordinator
    7. 1 Offensive player from any team
    8. 1 defensive player from any team
    9. 1 Special Teams player from any team

    Here's my Choices

    1. Honolulu
    -They have the Stadium they use for the Pro Bowl, besides what team would mind flying to Hawaii to play every week. They would also seel out each week with tourists.
    2. Monsoon
    3. Andy Reid
    -He knows talent, and knows who to keep and not to keep.
    4. John Gruden
    - I have always been a huge fan, since his time in Philly. A top 5 coach in this league, still at young age too.
    5. O - Mike Mullarkey
    -I love his play calling.
    6 D - Jim Johnson
    -Simply the best in the league, I have never seen anyone do more with less.
    7. Donovan McNabb
    -Some may disagree, but I think he has shown that he can win with inferior talent around him. For a expansion franchise you need guys like that.
    8. Julius Peppers
    -He's a stud
    9. David Akers
    -Hands down best kicker in the league

    I'll give it a shot

    1. New Jersey. They buy off the giants and it finally gives NJ a football team. For real
    2 Force (its corny I know)
    3 Dan Marino JKJKJKJ I know that was a cheap shot i think i would have to say Jerry Jones. He might be an a hole buit he always gets the job done.
    4. Bill Parcells. Enough Said
    5.O- Vermiel
    6 D- John Fox
    7 Eli Manning(he is the future)
    8 Mike Starhan ( he is dominant every year)
    9 Vanderjagt He is the best Hands Down. Akers likes to choke on 4th quarter plays to win the game against the giants

    1)Chicago
    2)Bears
    3)myself as GM
    4)Ditka
    5)Shanahan as O.coord
    6)Belichek as D.coord
    7)Manning
    8)Urlacher
    9)Vanderjagt

    one footnote, not sure about hawaii, while teams would on occasion have to fly 10 hours to get there, 8 weeks a year your team would have to fly 5-10 hours to destination city.

    Strahan is ancient, I would not build a team around him. Also, Vanderjagt is an indoor kicker most of the season, Akers almost always kicks outdoors, that a HUGE difference. Keep that in mind.

    I like the ring of the Honolulu Monsoons but to get technical about weather terms, I dont believe that Hawaii is actually affected by monsoons. I do like the idea of being 2 Chicago Bears teams though. Right away it doubles the chance of Da Bears winning the super bowl. I'll come up with a team later. Thinking the Boston something would be fitting.

    Im doubting that you would sell out games in Honolulu....the city is small, and tourists arent likly to shell out $50 a ticket to watch 2 teams they have no emotional attachment to....your season ticket and luxury box sales would suck and I think the travel schedule would decimate your team....I dont see that as a good scenario for a any franchise....now I will play the game....

    1.Las Vegas - fastest growing city in America with tons of cash imported daily...

    2.Lightning

    3.Jimmy Johnson - the best at building from scratch

    4.Bill Belechek

    5.Norv Turner

    6.Buddy Ryan

    7.LaDainian Tomlinson

    8.Champ Bailey

    9.Nate Kaeding
