Alright, so I was messing around with some data the other day, you know, just for fun. And I got to thinking, “I wonder which states don’t have an NFL team?” Seems like a simple enough question, right? Well, it turned into a bit of a rabbit hole, but a fun one!
First Steps: The Obvious Ones
First, I started with the states I knew for sure had teams. You know, the big ones: California, Texas, Florida, New York. I jotted those down, easy peasy. Then I thought about the states I’ve never associated with football, like, say, Maine or Vermont. I put those on a separate list.
Getting Down to Business: Making Lists
I figured the best way to tackle this was to make a list of all the states, then cross off the ones with teams. So, I whipped up a quick list in a text file. Nothing fancy, just a plain old list.
