Epic Drop: Top 10 NFL Realities That We Will Look Back At One Day With Amazement and Derision

Your link is here, and I more or less believe all of them, especially the spring league point. Seriously, the NFL isn't the most popular league, it's the most popular five leagues -- and it goes away for the majority of the year. It also leaves large markets fallow for expansion, despite the fact that one of its most successful franchises (and a Final Four team this year) is in the equivalent of a mid-sized suburb.

When you talk about NFL expansion, there's always one standard line that the naysayers throw out there -- that there simply isn't enough quality QBs to go around, and the game would be horrible to watch. And yet, there's no shortage of decent RBs (witness the constant supply of useful backups from a fantasy standpoint, and no shortage of any other position... so, um, I suspect the QB shortage is actually fixable. You know, with coaching and player development. And if we're talking about monetizing twice the amount of the year, one suspects that developing a few QBs can happen.
