Never mind I found it and you were right but with Carolina's and Jacksonville's owners on the committee and with both teams considered small markets, I think we already have 2 on our side.

Team owners appointed to the committee are Pat Bowlen (Denver), Lamar Hunt (Kansas City), Robert Kraft (New England), Jeff Lurie (Philadelphia), Mike McCaskey (Chicago), Jerry Richardson (Carolina), Dan Rooney (Pittsburgh), and Wayne Weaver (Jacksonville).

The state of Carolina is a small market? Since when? Also, on Jacksonville's owner, I have heard he wants to move his team, or not necessarily wants to, but financially they aren't doing too hot. At Alltel stadium, they actually have to cover sections of seats due to the team never selling out. There have been talks of them moving, and I would think he'd want a part of LA. Who nows? But they have some good owners on the committee, and they will do what's best for us, at least for now. After next season, who knows?

OK Whodi, are now including the entire state to determine the size of each market? Where in the hell did you get that from?

CAROLINA Panthers. Not Charlotte Panthers, or Raleigh Panthers or Columbia Panthers. CAROLINA. Like how they suggested we try Louisiana Saints, or Gulf Coast Saints, to gain more appeal. That's how.

So if we go with Gulf Coast Saints our market would be approximately 12 million with the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and even some of Florida. I guess we ain't a small market anymore, because those same people already support the New Orleans Saints.

Or so people say. There are huge parts of Louisiana that don't support the Saints. SO until they actually have that name, no you can't say that.

TallySaint

New Orleans Saints, Louisiana Saints, Gulf Coast Saints. Hell, Beaux Bridge Saints.

As long as they stay.

But we both know that huge portions of the gulf coast region support the Saints, so I can say that and I will. The NFL and everyone else knows this to.

Okay.

...to further your point, they are called the Carolina Panthers as in both North AND South Carolina. They were named as such to appeal to the Carolinas, not just one...
