NFL 2015 Part 2: There's a Flag Down - Page 24

2 teams in the same division sharing a stadium seems wrong.

Rams should have been allowed to move back to LA, would have made the NFC west more geographically cohesive, making the Cowboys the only obvious out of place (geographically) team, but you'll never get them out of the east due to the historic rivalries.

It's Rams and Chargers.

Two LA teams worked out so well the last time.

Now we have Rams at old Hollywood Race track site with possible Chargers coming, too.

Raiders left out.

So I see. My mistake.

The ONLY team of the 3 I want here is the Raiders, so excuse me while I get a little bitter.

Nobody in LA cares about either of those teams. I know, I live here.

Exactly! The league has thrived nicely without a team in the Number 2 market. Too bad the Chargers couldn't stay in San Diego.

The only team I really see any love for is the Raiders

.

LemonMelon · 01-12-2016, 10:18 PM

Give it 5 years and they'll all want out of there.

deep · 01-12-2016, 11:21 PM

I disagree
L A will be a huge success for NFL

bono_212 · 01-12-2016, 11:39 PM

Sure. Because they've never tried it before, or anything.

Welp, I'm excited for selfish reasons. NFC team means I'll get to see my team once in a while.

deep · 01-12-2016, 11:55 PM

Yeah
People in L A hate football, they can't give away USC and UCLA tickets.

LemonMelon · 01-13-2016, 12:03 AM

They like football just fine here. And a whole lot of other things.

deep · 01-13-2016, 12:31 AM

I went to Raiders games at the Coluseum along with USC games there, it's ok not great. It was great for 84 Olympics I saw there.
I went to Rams games at Angel Stadium, did not like football in a baseball park at all. Good place for MLB. Both those venues suck for rock concerts would not go to a free show at them now.

That said I think the population base in L A market is ? 50% bigger than when those teams left. Also diehard SD fans will drive up for Chargers, plus just like MJ money infusion brought up Dodgers talent, and the Angels, and Clippers started throwing money at players those franchises are succeeding better than ever. I got to believe that guy that is building Inglewood location wil buy talent for a good team. L A will support winners.

Go Bears.

keep hope alive

"If the Chargers do not exercise their option to relocate, the Raiders would then have the option to join the Rams in Los Angeles, the commissioner said."

You have no idea how NFL financials work, do you?

PhilsFan · 01-13-2016, 09:26 AM

Deep is going to be the Chargers' cap specialist, he'll fit right in with team physician David Chao.

I feel badly for the St. Louis fans. This is the 2nd time in 30 years that they've lost an NFL team. At least the Rams won the Super Bowl while they were there. The Cardinals mostly sucked while they were there. Obviously, life goes on for St. Louis Rams fans. They won't have to piss away their money on a mediocre team anymore. Maybe they can steal an NBA team.

Maybe Blues ticket sales will increase next Fall.

Headache in a Suitcase · 01-13-2016, 12:32 PM

I don't really feel that bad for St Louis fans, because they took the team from LA to begin with, and because they're likely to also be Cardinals fans, and thus a bunch of twats.

Lawrence Phillips not coming down for breakfast.
