Questions for the NFL

I was watching football one Sunday and finding there are some important questions I have for the NFL. Here I pose them to you, the general public:



Who comes up with the team names?
Some of them make sense, some of them do not and some of them are just lame.

For instance, the Cleveland Browns. WTF is a Brown? Or the Jets ... are they talking like an airplane in that situation? Because that is just stupid. And what significance does 49 have for San Francisco?

And the Miami Dolphins. How does that sound imposing at all? You couldn't make them the Miami Sharks? A DOLPHIN? Really?

And why are there so many damn birds. I get them all confused. We have the Ravens, the Eagles, the Falcons, the Cardinals, the Seahawks (whatever kind of bird that is). Honestly. Overkill on the birds.


Why are there NFL cheerleaders?

I mean really, how pointless. It's not like anyone can hear them among the 5000 constantly screaming fans sitting miles above the field.

And I know that men enjoy oggling hoochies with pom-poms but you honestly can't even SEE them either! Not even live or on TV. Literally the camera pans them maybe once before every fifth commercial break. Useless.

Why football on Sunday, Monday and occasionally Thursday?
Why not Friday and Saturday? Who came up with making a game that keeps you up late either drunk on booze or adrenaline on a work night? Every Monday or Tuesday or Friday morning that I have stayed up late watching my team I curse the name of the NFL. If my team lost it is even worse.

Why can't they just keep throwing the ball up the field?
Why is the QB the only one who can throw the ball? Imagine if you could throw the ball back and forth up the field to everyone. So one receiver passes to another receiver and so on, kinda like basketball. I think that would be awesome! I am sure there is a reason the rules are made like they are but just imagine the possibility ...
