Ok so which teams are still where they started? Excluding recent teams ala the Panthers, Jags, TWolves, etc.

Lol, the Yankees were my one lock that I could think of, but it turns out they started in Baltimore. Cowboys have always been in Dallas right?

Keep adding until you get them all. haha.

Lol. I'm just trying to figure out if there are more teams still in their original cities than teams that started somewhere else (in defense of "team stealing" Washington D.C.")

Lol, I'm not even sure the Bears started in Chicago. Weren't they like the Decatur Stags or something like that? I remember that in a trivia question. I'll look it up.

I knew about the "Steagles " thing. OTL brought that up when there was a real possibility that both teams could play each other in SB 43

That was what those horrid Eagles uni's were a few years ago.

And yes, I get what you are doing, just teasing.

Start with the bigger cities.
