The NFL will be feasible in Oklahoma City once the city gets up around 2 million in its metro area, which could happen by 2030. I agree now its too small and its college football tradition is deep, but as the city grows there will be more of a market for it. This is a very sports-crazed city. People said the Thunder couldn't be supported because this is a college sports town but look what happened. Again, I think in 2015 OKC is too small to support an NFL team but that will change as the city grows.

Legends Football League - Women of the Gridiron
What will they be wearing? That certainly could sway my interest level!

The Dallas Cowboys are the fallback for many here in The Indian Nations/South-Central. I'm one of those Dallas Cowboy fans, sadly. They'll be bad though as long as J-Jones oversees player personnel and Romeo (I mean Romo) is the QB.
I really don't understand this sentiment. He's been the reason that Dallas could actually compete. Without Romo the last 7 years, this team is a three win team tops.

Simple. Romeo is a great stat builder but he always crumbles down the stretch and Playoff time. I would love it if he proved me wrong. He just doesn't have the moxie of a Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers, Drew Brees, etc......the elite guys.

He had it last year if not for circumstances that was beyond his control. In other years, he had had to bail out this defense. Dallas hasn't had a good defense since 2009.

I'm tired of the organization defending him. He can't stay healthy and he doesn't win playoff games. The whole team needs a makeover. Along with a QB, we need a line, a defense, and Demarco Murray back. So sick of our "franchise" player dropping passes. What did he have, like five drops the other day? The Cowboys management gave money to the wrong guy.

This morning I was thinking about and getting excited for some Oklahoma Football just around the corner and thought once again how nice it is to have your college team be bigger than any NFL team in the area (looking at you Dallas Cowboys).

I should be mad about this post, but since there is no mention of Durant in it, I'm going to like it.
