    The NFL paying the Raiders to stay put; Al Davis and Pete Rozelle are rolling over in their graves.

    No teams for so long and now, possibly, having 2 immediately?

    Seems like a case of putting all their eggs in one basket (or stadium).. One of them will move within 10 years

    not yet they aren't, at least not until the Raiders can get a stadium done in Oakland.

    decent chance the Raiders will eventually move to San Diego.

    A's are locked in with the Oak Coliseum thru 2018, so nothing's happening at that site any sooner than that. and the city of Oakland hasn't proposed anything remotely close to a viable stadium option in a very long time.

    and if the Chargers decide to stay in San Diego, Raiders will move in with the Rams.

    Nope. The money has been made. Actually, it's the NFL, you're going to rake regardless.

    Rams drafted the same position over and over again, and now they have a team that can't move the ball. That's not an overnight fix.

    I do wanna say I feel bad for those fans in StL. I know on this board at least the StL guys are sharp and professional in my dealings, sorry you guys lost the team. I'm sure the Sonic fans still root in OKC and who knows maybe a franchise in the future.

    I don't think LA even wants an NFL team let alone two right now but IF they can make it a winner it will be worth it.

    Makes sense for the Rams to come back since there's still a ton of Rams fan in Cali.

    To the people saying no one will be there you are dead wrong. Place will have tons of suites and will be sold out every weekend. And it won't be cheap either.

    As someone who was born at raised in St Louis, and still lives here there is a lot of anger today. Stan Kroenke was named after Stan Musial, he's a MO native. 2 teams ripped apart from this city in 25 years, and we were willing to build them another stadium! Just a bunch of bullshit. I'm converting to a Patriots fan.

    They run thoroughbred races at Los Alamitos now for some small meets- they upgraded the track and lengthened it. No one goes. Other than that, it's Santa Anita and Del Mar for TB racing in So Cal. They still run the quarter horses at Los Al. No harness racing around here anymore, but I remember my dad taking me to that when I was young. Good times.

    I could honestly see the Raiders moving in with the Rams in the future and the Chargers getting uprooted, maybe to St. Louis who knows. Jacksonville needs to relocate too but weren't they talking about making them the permanent London franchise or was that all just a rumor? St. Louis is ****** if they don't get the Chargers or Jaguars in the next couple of years. They'll be without an NFL franchise for a long time.

    A few things from the inside. First, everyone acts like this is the first time St. Louis has lost a pro team. it is not. The Cardinals left St. Louis after 27 years. The St. Louis Brown's Baseball team moved to Baltimore after 50 years in St. Louis. The St. Louis Hawks NBA team moved to Atlanta. St. Louis has lost a ton of teams.

    Rumor control has it that the Raiders Owner Mark Davis purchased property just outside of San Antonio Texas. Stand by...

    St Louis fans see to have forgotten that they sold their soul to get the team in the first place.

    http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la...112-story.html

    Not to pile on, but seriously the city didn't do shit to keep the team until it was too late. When you heard Kroenke was buying the land in Inglewood, what did you think he was going to do with it, build a Walmart? That dome has been a piece of shit for years now and the horrific attendance records were the writing on the wall. The city chose to ignore the obvious.

    the Chargers are moving to L.A.

    and the Jaguars would never move to St. Louis

    it will take a major demographic shift for St. Louis to ever get an NFL franchise again

    It was proposed in 1993 the Patriots move to St Louis and be called the Stallions.

    I could see Brady as a Stallion but Michael Sam.....not so much

    True, it took them a little bit to get a plan in place, but they had a plan in place! San Diego and Oakland don't have shit in place. It just is a dangerous precedent that you have all these rules in place to let the city keep a franchise and when they abide by them it doesn't really matter. Oh well, in my opinion when cities give these owners money for stadium it's a waste anyway,they should buck up.

    Harness racing! Oh man, so many good memories. That alone was enough for me to want to go as a 10 year old. Great memories, thank you Jake.

    Just saw how the LA mayor doesn't seem too interested in the Chargers or Raiders coming to the area. In all honesty, I think the Chargers would be the equivalent of the LA Clippers for their first 30+ years in the same city.
