ArtVandalay Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 At lunch at work one day me and a buddy realigned the NFL by mascot. To the best of my recollection this is it, the Peacekeepers division was the most difficult trying to fit the spare parts in without scattering them to other divisions leaving odd numbers. Originally i think we contracted the Dolphins, Browns, Saints, Jets. WILD WEST Cowboys Bills Chiefs Redskins RODEO Broncos Colts Bears Rams PREDATOR Bengals Jaguars Lions Panthers POULTRY Falcons Ravens Eagles Seahawks INDUSTRIAL Jets Chargers Steelers Titans SEABEARING Raiders Buccaneers Vikings Dolphins FRONTIER 49ers Patriots Texans Packers PEACEKEEPER Saints Cardinals Giants Browns 8 7 3 1 Quote

galept Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Switch Cowboys and Bears. Switch Packers and Chargers. Meat packers are industrial and the origin of Charger was that the guy liked hearing the crowd yell "charge!" after the bugle at Dodgers games. Reminds me of stories of Buffalo Soldiers charging into battle during the Indian wars. Titans are industrial because of the term "Industry titan", or because they were the Oilers? Peacekeepers are a bit of a mess. Giants and Browns? What's the thinking? Rams in rodeo is a bit of an odd duck too, but I know this won't be perfect. Edited October 4, 2022 by galept 1 Quote

Expand How old are you? Cleveland was very attached to that team. They were never good. Never bad. Never great even. A few solid years between 80 and 90something. The city loved them. They were one of the only fun things to do in Cleveland. Their only identity. This is before LeBron and during the movie Major League about the Indians (they have new name I'm told). Cleveland had the Browns like the Bills had Buffalo. I'd the Bills left and another team was placed in Buffalo how could they ever be called anything else? As far as the Baltimore Colts. Well Indianapolis was the colts. They could not revert so thet chose Ravens after Jordan Poyer and his poem about interceptions. 1 1 1 1 Quote

Expand The Browns themselves are named after Coach Paul Brown. The cab thing was Paul Brown taking some young players that he liked but who weren't going to make the roster and convincing the owner to put them on the payroll his cab company to keep them around. It's where the term "taxi squad" came from. 3 1 6 Quote

Your Cowboys and Bears is good too. Also, for Browns, I think of Cleveland, which also means "Guardians", so they are a peacekeeper. But, yeah, "Peacekeepers" is weird.
