I just read that the NFL is looking to expand to 40 teams.

I have some questions about this:

1) Where would the new 8 teams be placed?
a) Canada?
b) Mexico?
c) South & Central America?
d) The "Caribbean"?
I could see how it would be much more enjoyable to go to the Caribbean as opposed to places like LA or NY. Tie the game into a "Caribbean" cruise. If they make those cruise ships much larger, they could play the game on the ship - LOL

2) How many teams can Mr. Ross own?
3) That kind of expansion will certainly thin out the NFL coaching talent base. - LOL
4) I don't even want to think of all the new players names I won't remember. - LOL

Is the NFL really thinking about doing this?

I like it. I wish American Leagues were more like European soccer. Multiple leagues playing for the title of best in Europe and losing teams getting regulated. That will never happen here. But I’m sure that they’re looking to expand the playoffs. I like that. Hopefully we realign the teams. Indy should be in the north and Baltimore in the east. And we should be in the south.
 
Well if the NFL is going to continue being ridiculous, let's go for 50 teams one for each state, and have the fans vote which team stays in that state and who gets shafted to another state. Jacksonville, Dolphins, and Buccaneers who should stay? That question's answer use to be an easy one now I do not know.

This league already proves, EVERY week, there isn't enough NFL-caliber talent to go around. And there aren't enough excellent officials officiating.

40?

I think it’s more coaching than talent. Give BB an expansion team and that MoFo will go Tom Coughlin/Dom Capers X2. It’s crazy how well those teams did pretty quickly. Coaching isn’t everything in the NFL. But if you have great coaching, you’re going to be successful.

And the coaching talent available to NFL teams, experience-wise, will also be diluted. If the league was overflowing with coaching talent, many more teams would be successful over the long-haul with new HCs. I just don't see the sense in it, but then again I'm not privy to the bottom line sheets.

The NFL is as successful as it is, partly because of its exclusivity and level of talent.
