    What if the US States Had National Teams?

    Imagine what it might be like, how it could best be structured and what the best way to see it through would be if all NFL action were suspended for 1 month per year to allow for US state teams to duel it out. To be eligible to play for a state a person would have to have lived in that state more years than in any other. It could be split over several tiers to avoid mismatches and it could be expanded to have country teams from around the world joining in a playing against Team Georgia, Team Texas and Team Louisiana in exciting games. Imagine if money and player availability were no issue ..... just imagine !

    If this is during the NFL off season, I'm all for it.

    Plus it would be interesting, maybe have it as a college age competition, as a kind of development league, and I would imagine a lot more college players play in their home state than NFL players so there would already be some kind of precident almost
