And it looks like the Raiders will get a nice payoff to stay in Oakland.

I hope this blows up in the NFL's face within 5 years.

I hope it blows up sooner than that, with Goodell at ground zero.

What could go wrong? They've shown they can support two teams in the past. LA fans are diehards.

You'll have to convince me L.A. fans are diehards. If that was true, why did teams leave and stay gone for so long?

A lot can go wrong, starting with poor ticket sales and fans balking at high-priced PSLs that most certainly will be charged at the projected new stadium.

Edit: Never mind if your post was with tongue in cheek.

Great. Perfect fit. Crappy LA fans gets crappy owners, crappy coaches and crappy teams.

Good luck.

I was going to mention how they wouldn't support one team, why two, but Mr. Hercules sarcasmed me out of the race.

Read again with your sarcasm hat on.

Jeff Fisher is going with the Rams.

They aren't worse than San Diego, and the stadium funding situation necessitated that there be two tenants paying rent. So all in all the NFL doesn't lose much in fan loyalty moving to LA.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Why not just keep the Rams in St Louis and move the Chargers to LA?

Stupid. Why is there a need for two teams in LA?

....well besides money and greed.

Yep. He falls under crappy coaches.

The Rams move kind of makes sense, but I feel for sorry for serious St. Louis fans who now have lost two teams (Cardinals, Rams). There probably will never be another NFL team in that city. Shame on Chargers ownership for not getting a stadium deal done in San Diego.

 

[Tunescribe]

Why on earth would they need a retractable roof on a stadium in Los Angeles? To keep the smog out?

 

[upstater1]

Chargers should have stayed in San Diego, Raiders and Rams to LA.

 

[Rob0729]

Word is the Raiders backed out after Roger Goodell promised Mark Davis that when they finally move an NFL franchise to the Moon that the Raiders would have the right first refusal.

 

[VrabelJr]

How many attempts at establishing a fan base is the NFL going to give the Rams? Where next? Alaska?

 

[Zeus]

We all remember the close call with the Patriots almost relocating to St. Louis.

Fans in St Louis have now lost both the Cardinals and the Rams.

Kraft is being widely quoted as saying this is a great solution. Given how the fans in St Louis must be feeling, maybe Bob should STFU.

 

[Wheelman]

I heard the corrupt owners were opposed to letting the raiders move to LA. Does anyone have any insight into why they were opposed?

Winner!
Winner!
Chicken dinner!

Feel bad for Rams fans. It's got to suck to lose your team. NFL is a cut throat league in more ways than one.
