we always considered ourselves "Midwest." Granted, the term is East Coast-centric, and a throwback to an era when the Plains were considered "West" and anything from the Rockies to the Pacific the "Far West." But not all terminologies or classifications are recalibrated whenever logic changes with the times.
You must have really felt tortured when the Atlanta Falcons were in the NFC West while the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals were in the NFC East.
