Not at all, but if they continue to expand their going to have to do two things. One i believe go international, this would very well bring in a new fanbase that isn't being reached. People in LA still watch football eventhough there isn't a team in LA. If they brought in a city like Tokyo they would be able sell out a Tokyo Dome everyweek. But besides going internation i love both San Antonio and Toronto as launch points (LA has had a few teams already lets let them sit this one out)
The second thing that would make the Expansion better would be if they DID NOT add more teams to the playoffs. If they added a total of 4 or 6 teams and didn't add playoff spots, making the playoffs would become even harder and more important, and it would get the fans more stoked in every city.
I guess it wouldn't anger me to see the league expand at all. Look at how much good the Jag's and Panthers are, they have both made the playoffs, and Carolina made the SuperBowl.

It wouldn't anger me at all. I think we can all agree the NFL is the best run, and most lucrative sports league there is. If any league could have 40 teams eventually, it's the NFL.
I just hope that for the next 5 years or so, they keep the league the way it is. Four team divisions that make better geographical sense.
When it is time to expand, I think they need to add two teams in three year intervals to eventually get to each division having five teams. I prefer each division to have the same amount of teams unlike baseball. I would assume they would add either 1 or 2 wildcard teams per conference for the playoffs.

San Antonio is the second-largest city in the state of Texas and the seventh-largest in the United States.
Portland - approximately two million people live in the surrounding metropolitan area (MSA), the 23rd most populous in the United States
Salt Lake City has a population of 181,743
According to the 2004 census estimate, Green Bay has a population of 102,313
As it seems right now all three of these cities have a bigger population than the green bay packers home town.

San Antonio isn't a small town, I'm pretty sure its bigger than Kansas City. No, it wouldn't anger me if any of those cities got a team. Whatever is best for the NFL, I'm happy with.

Any of those would be good choices for NFL! Nfl is America's sport, so it puts the citizens of Green Bay on even footing with those of NYC. Why do you think we love NFL so much more than Baseball? (Pirates can't even go after any of the players they want to draft because NY will pay big bucks for draft picks)
In a small town, NFL players are treated like gods. This is good for the players, as small town people are the best fans. NFL is what you call a small town sport. (I call them medium size towns, but you know what I mean)

I think Los Angeles will get the next team that relocates. The NFL cannot continue to let the second largest TV market go without a franchise.
San Antonio is the eight-largest city, so they MIGHT get one, but I doubt it with the Cowboys and the Texans already trying to saturate the market.

I think the 32 teams in the league is enough. Besides, Texas is moctly all about the Cowboys. The Texans have a fanbase, but not nearly as large as other franchises. Besides that, a new stadium will be built in the City of Industry in California (15 minutes from LA) when a team commits. There are a few likely suitors who are willing to relocate to have their spiffy new stadium. Thumbs up to those who agree.

San Antonio isn't exactly a small town. And it is the most likely place of the three to get a team.

Not at all.
Las Vegas should be on your list
But the problem is there are not enough good athletes to continue to support expansion. When you keep adding teams you need another 40-50 players. It will get watered down and there will just be too many 8-8 teams.

No. Green Bay is much, much, much smaller than all three of those cities. It also is the home of one of the most popular sports franchises in the U.S. It has sold out every game for what 50+ years? You can't base it on the size of the city. The market area is more important.
