nope

 

are you playing the "Giants/Jets play in NJ" game?

 

Not playing a game. Those two teams play in New Jersey. Nobody would claim a Chicago Bears team playing in Indiana was an Illinois team.

If there was a team in NW Indiana named the Chicago whatever's and they had a long history in the league with that name I think Chicagoans would include them as a Chicago/IL team. If they were a new team, most Chicagoans would gripe they really weren't a Chicago/Illinois team but from a TV market perspective they'd be considered Chicago.

TV market would be Chicagoland area, just like the Jets/Giants tv market is the NY metropolitan area. From a which state do these teams play in standpoint, it would be Indiana just like the Jets/Giants play in New Jersey.

As a point of argument, please give the full names of the teams you are referencing.

I guess I can't really refute the statement "Only one team plays in NY", but I would refute the statement "NY Only has one team", which is generally what is being talked about, but I'm not sure which stance is being taken.

As I said, a Chicago Bears team playing in the state of Indiana could still be called the Chicago Bears, but would not be referred to as an Illinois based team.

 

Likewise, the New York Giants and New York Jets are not New York State teams.

Am I the only one that remembers the Bears in talks with Gary to build a new stadium. That would have been this exact situation.

 

What if the Bears played in Gary but their team offices were still in Lake Forest? Would they be an "Illinois-based team" then?

But their fanbase is from IL (primarily)

I remember that, mid 90's. Daley said if they moved out of Chicago they would have to be called Gary Bears, or Arlington Heights Bears.

wow, schefter is reporting that the Bengals and Dalton are closing in on a 6-year, $115 million contract.

 

9th QB with over 17.5 annual average. Alex Smith's agent's job is pretty easy now. Big Ben is getting a new deal before the season most likely. And all of Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Philip Rivers, and maybe Eli Manning and RGIII will get new deals over the next 9-12 months. That'll be 1/2 the league's QBs getting 17.5M/year, and ironically the one that started the trend (Stafford) will be the lowest.

Bengals continue to out-dumb themselves

 

Only $17 million is guaranteed. That's not bad.

 

They only had to pay him ~$1million this year. If he took them farther in the playoffs this year, THEN you offer him the big money

they didn't offer him big money. he's got a two-year contract with a bunch of team options.
