The NFL city redraft

http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/9/18/4726156/nfl-city-redraft

At some point, however, you'd have to figure out where to put your teams, and I'm willing to bet you wouldn't pick the 31 cities currently home to one. So let's just put it out there: some of these locations make no damn sense in 2013. This is a more current, exciting spread of teams, NFL, and it's free for you to take....

The Honolulu Dolphins. The Marlins should have effectively killed any chance to get a new or renovated stadium in South Florida, and maybe that's for the best. The Dolphins were never going to succeed in Miami without winning the hearts and minds of the region's top demographic -- shady dudes who will bet on anything and don't ask where they got this money unless you want to lose a hand. The move to Hawaii starts to open up the NFL's geographic footprint and rewards a population that had to watch the fucking Pro Bowl for 30 years....

The Columbus Jaguars. See, promise kept, Ohio citizens! Plus, once the Jaguars move to Columbus, they can sign Tim Tebow and get Urban Meyer to just drive a few blocks to reteach him his magic football skills. It's the best of all possible worlds. Don't worry, Jacksonville, we'll send you a SlamBall team or something....

The North Eagle Butte Redskins. Surely the team name will play well in this town that's 92 percent Native American, because honor and respect.
