The irony of the past 13 years is that the nation's 2nd largest market (LA) does not have an NFL team.

And that 2nd largest market had trouble selling out stadiumswhilst the smallest market (Packers) have a 35 year waiting list for season tickets and havent had an empty seat for 40 years.

Q) Where'd the tuck rule come from. Is there a precedent for them introducing it, like they introduce the horse collar this year because TO broke his ankle?
