OT: Mealy-mouthed Goodell and wishy-washy owners DESERVE L.A.

[Tunescribe]

Owners plan L.A. vote, no consensus yet on which teams will move

Goodell sounds skeptical that San Diego can keep the Chargers

I hope, hope, hope that two teams move to one brand-new multi-billion-dollar stadium in Los Angeles, charge big money for PSLs and nobody shows up. It would be a wonderful failure of greed and cynicism.

LA needs to fail because if it succeeds then London is next.

 

[captain insano]

I can't imagine being a fan of a team that moves out of town.

Goodell shouldn't stop at London. He should look to colonize the moon and Mars. That'll help spread the league's message.

Goodell should be sent to the moon on a fact-finding mission ... permanently.

It wouldn't particularly sadden me to learn several o rings on the rocket malfunctioned moments after take off...

It came damn close in 1993 to the Pats being the St Louis Stallions.

I hope that Goodell gets 23 owners to vote for the move and then turns to Kraft for his 24th vote and Kraft tells him to either give back the picks he stole, or GFY.

The "Stallions"? Is that what they were going to be called? Yeesh.

Highly unlikely seeing that Kraft sits on the The Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities and will receive a share of the roughly billion dollar relocation fee. Another Goodell/Kraft loving embrace is more like it.

Kraft would be loving this. Goodell plays the bad guy, Kraft reads the play and pretends he's "supporting" the team with a token website, meanwhile fans rally around the Patriots given their love of the actual team = money money money.

I hear some Bills fans are eager to get the Bills to move to L.A.

I seriously doubt that but I know you're joking. As bad as they've been the Bills are all that region has.

It looks like the Rams and Chargers are top candidates to move. You've got to feel for the diehard fans in St. Louis and San Diego. Losing a team sucks.

 

[Joker]

LA?...c'mon, really?

Oh well...get ready for ANOTHER scandal within a year...NO-WATERGATE

Why not have 3 move there, then upon having all three fail, consolidate the Rams, Chargers, and Raiders into the Ragers with a giant, ex-Hollywood star turned pcp addict on the helmet. At this point, probably this image would be good for pr considering right now people's number one association with the NFL is a man beating his woman and/or child to a pulp. Just your friendly neighborhood rager.

Dude!! That's a whole new Deflation PSI problem if they play on the moon.

Yep. I never freaking forget it.

I was a senior in college at the time and sitting in my off campus house watching the mid-day news with Jim Boyd on Channel 5 who reported it. Remember there wasn't much of an internet back then...

For the remainder of the day, we were talking like Rocky Balboa was a player for the Patriots.

"Hey y'know, Mick I think I think I'm gonna run a double-post y'know..."

Pats' Past: The St. Louis Stallions

Wow, how incredibly unprofessional and unethical of him. Really, he HAS to remain neutral about that right up until the very end/decision. Can you imagine how it feels to be a Chargers fan?

Kind of like being a Pats fan, in terms of injustice, but made much worse by the years of losing and possibility of losing the team altogether.

 

[A man named Brady]

The problem is San Diego is such an amazing city with the best weather in the country. You can wear shorts and flip flops in December and go to the beach everyday.

And people are shocked that residents there don't want to go watch a mediocre football team
