Reply to comment by _Monosyllabic_ in NFC East becomes first division since 2002 realignment to have three teams advance to divisional round by RollingMoss1

When realignment was on the table, the giants, eagles and redskins all threatened to tank it if Dallas was moved out of the NFC east. All three claim them as their arch rival.

Games with Dallas guarantees prime time games(even if your team stinks)

I thought it was the other way around, Jerry Jones didn't want to lose NY, Philly, and DC media markets.

This is my thought, too. But, I also believe (based on nothing) that Jerry Jones sold his soul to the Devil for the Cowboys' championships in the nineties, and he will not live to see them win another one.

Makes sense why there are so many Cowboys around New York.

They should’ve called their bluff

Would have been hilarious if they all tanked, got some great draft picks out of it and racked up Super Bowls because of it.
