TRADEMARK DCENTERS BASELESS SPECULATION ON PHILLY/NEW JERSEY
In all the speculation regarding the new New Jersey/Philly team, it has repeatedly been pointed out that no ownership group is identified with the team to come into the league in 2009. But I think the deep game is something along the lines of "let's have an open stadium for when we have to move a financially underperforming team." If anyone else has proposed this theory, I'll be glad to give them a link, but I haven't yet seen it out there. Of course, to make that easy, you'd need to have an Eastern Conference team that was financially underwhelming and had previously been looked at for relocation. Perhaps one that has $5 playoff tickets. Just thinking...

Mmmm... good points on all counts. The only counter I would offer is that San Antonio was a fiasco in the end, and I can't imagine Mr. Garber wanting to go through that again. But maybe this is sufficiently different as to make it work.
KC with a SSS would likely dramatically improve the situation there. Meanwhile, I hope that the Philly team is an expansion. The triangular rivalry of DC-RBNY-Phil will be better if Phil. is a new team not a transplant.
