Somebody needs to have bad travel, and I ask Fck Utah and Florida, it's been us long enough. This cuts back miles travelled for ~ 6-7 teams, leaves it the same for ~23 teams, and screws Miami / Tampa over a little bit. with taxes and weather don't their players get enough advantages?
I think the time zone thing is overblown and much less of a problem than traveling and extra hour each way several times / year.
