If the owners want it, they're going to have to give some concessions to the NFLPA and the fans. First, expand the rosters to 55 or 57 players. Keep the cap to the top 51 or raise the cap $1.5M per player. Second, give an extra bye week. Nobody wants to see Chad Henne QB the Chiefs (possible exception, Chad's family).
As to the cities, keep them all in the US. St. Louis would be about the only city no one would bitch about. Jones would have a fit if a team was allocated to San Antonio. Buffalo and probably 3 of the 4 teams in the NFC North would have problems with Canadian cities. Seattle would probably do a Jerruh about Portland. You'd have the same problems with Honolulu as you would with London (time zones and travel). You'd have to have a dome in Anchorage. There just aren't enough cities that realistically could support a NFL team.
