Really? I could see that when they were both relevant. When was the last time in mid-season you thought "Cowboys vs Redskins/WFT? Now THIS is a game I need to watch!"? It's been a loooooong time since I felt that way about their rivalry. Joe Gibbs era, maybe? They may have had end of season match ups with the playoffs on the line but most of their games are just games on the schedule now.
This is a realignment that makes sense....well done. The only thing I would change is maybe find the colts a better home....but i guess someone has to be the odd man out....or just maybe relocate the franchise to a southern city?
Regarding the Cowboys comment, nobody in Texas cares about the Redskins...or Commanders...or whatever. That rivalry died 20 years ago. Also when the Astros were moved from the NL Central to the AL West, Rangers/Astros became an immediate wonderful rivalry so i could see that happening easily with the Texans.
