Updated with clarifications
OK, here's my concept but it's probably for players only. I might have to pick a side.
When you draft a pretend football player you must also pick a song (album?) performed by an artist (solo or band) who can trace origins to either:
- The player's NFL city. -OR-
- His college (within a 100 mile radius)
So if you picked Kevin Durant, you'd also need to pick a song by a performer from Oakland or within 100 miles of Austin.
Lineage can be traced from being born there, or beginning their career there so Joe Strummer would be eligible for either Ankara or London. We'll use Wikipedia as the authoritative source.
I haven't followed the NFL for about five years so I have no idea if these rules will even work.
The fine print:
I'm more a Packer fan than a football fan these days so we'll give them territorial rights to Milwaukee.
NFL team representation is by their named city e.g. New York, San Francisco rather than E. Rutherford or Santa Clara
Teams named after states or regions get their home city, not the entire state, e.g. Boston, Nashville
