The Cleveland Browns should be banished from AFC North

Domes are stupid and a disgrace to the game of football. It doesn't matter where you are, or where you play, putting a roof on your stadium makes you a Class A soft team. 

The AFC North takes that to an even higher degree. It's a division known for bad weather and hard hitting in blue-collar towns. And while it still is for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, and Cincinnati Bengals, the Cleveland Browns have decided snow, rain, and wind are too scary and too hard to handle, so a dome is going up in Cleveland.

Yes, despite the Browns being victors in one of the most memorable bad-weather games in recent memory last season, defeating the Steelers on Thursday Night Football in a snow globe, Cleveland will be building a dome in Brook Park and play indoors.

For that, the Browns should be kicked out of the AFC North and swapped out with another team, and I have the perfect proposal - send the Buffalo Bills to the AFC North and put the Browns in the already God awful AFC East.

This benefits everyone. We get to see Josh Allen vs. Joe Burrow and Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson twice a year. In addition, we get two helpings of Allen vs. Aaron Rodgers in 2025, as well as Allen and the Bills taking on the Steelers and their potential star quarterback of the future if they hit on one in the 2026 NFL Draft (Drew Allar, anyone). 

This would give us a superpowered division with Allen, Burrow, Jackson, and Rodgers for 2025, and overall, every AFC North matchup would be must-watch. For the AFC East, it becomes the MAC of the NFL filled with the already-soft Miami Dolphins, who may as well play in a dome because they can't win if it's less than 74 degrees outside or if there is a slight drizzle. In addition, the dreadful New York Jets would remain, and the Browns would join while all three of those franchises get dominated by the New England Patriots, who would become the only team worth a damn in that division.

Anyway, give me a call, Roger - I've got plenty of ideas.
