Time Zones. It would ahve made more sense to have Columbus and Pittsburgh in a NE division and then Florida and Tampa in the Atlantic if only to not have a stupid division called the metropolitan.
In that you have your split rivalry groups:
Detroit, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Buffalo
Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa
Washington, Carolina, Tamps, Florida
Philly, NYI, NYR, NJ
Washington is only 43 miles closer than Detroit, Columbus and Buffalo are closer. All three closer than Philly.
But I digress...
Boooooooooooooooo to anything that results in us not being in a division with PHI.
