How about an NFL-themed tournament?

Here's what I'm thinking- a 32-player tournament, with each player representing a team in the NFL. In the 1st round, the groups would be 4 players each, in the current NFL divisions. For instance, all the players whose teams are from the AFC East, in one group, and so on. From there, all the surviving AFC players meet in one group, all the surviving NFC players in another group. The winners of those groups play the "Super Bowl".

How about it? Think we can get enough support behind this turkey to get it off the ground? And can we get someone who's willing to represent the Oakland Raiders?

Edit: it may not have been clear from my post that I'm referring to a chess tournament on this site.

Well, I'm willing to give some latitude on that. This is an international community; it may be tough to get one forum-reading representative from each geographic region that houses an NFL team. Best case scenario is that we get 32 players, each of them a die-hard fan of their respective team. But I'm a realist so I'll take what I can get.

Cash can represent the Cowboys.

Shouldn't Darv have to be the Argonauts?

If i could do the toruney, I'd take the Rams. Then, I would dominate the tournament. Finally, I would "shut out" whoever were to play me in the Superbowl
