Dallas Coach: Kansas City Brigade is NOT an Expansion Team...

Coach McClay from Dallas got something right... He recognizes that the Kansas City Brigade is a lot more like the New Orleans Voodoo than an expansion team.

The DFW paper quotes him:

"You open with "expansion" Kansas City, but the team is mostly New Orleans players. Is there a fear of taking this team too lightly? No. We go through the roster, and if there's a bunch of names we don't recognize, it's an expansion team. But it's New Orleans' roster moved over, and we know that. We know New Orleans was a good football team, and had a good coach in Kevin Porter and his staff. They have some familiarity with this. It would be different if it was a new team that had a new coach who's never seen the game. This is like playing New Orleans."

One change... It is a lot more like playing the Kansas City Brigade than New Orleans, coach.
