Good for the Seahawks = Shorter road trip.
Good for me = I like having another excuse to visit friends down there.
Bad for St. Louis? = Too bad, that fucking stadium sucks.

I'm so glad she's no longer part of the Raiders, because she would easily be the smartest person in that building if she was still there. This would be my perfect destination for the Raiders.

The idea that the Raiders could take the Chargers place if they leave S.D. is pretty hilarious.

Re: The NFL and Los Angeles
You have to wonder how many owners are privately begging for Mark Davis to sell to Bob Iger, Larry Ellison, or some rich Silicon Valley guy that could make a second team in the Bay Area work. As a Broncos fan, obviously I hope he resists those forces and owns the team for a very long time.turned2black wrote:The idea that the Raiders could take the Chargers place if they leave S.D. is pretty hilarious.

Re: The NFL and Los Angeles
In the same vein, the Rams' move to LA is a little scary because I just feel like being there is going to naturally improve the team. Like free agents will want to go there. I could be totally wrong but I think the move will definitely make them more competitive.Green Habit wrote:You have to wonder how many owners are privately begging for Mark Davis to sell to Bob Iger, Larry Ellison, or some rich Silicon Valley guy that could make a second team in the Bay Area work.

Which by the way, we're possibly going to see a 4th straight year of the NFC West in the Super Bowl ... 3 different teams ... with the Rams potentially on the up-tick. Assuming Seattle gets back into a groove, the Rams improve, and the Panthers don't win next week ... (that's a lot to assume) ... we could see some kind of streak for NFC West teams in the SB.

Re: The NFL and Los Angeles
Attracting free agents is only part of the puzzle. You still need to draft well, especially when it comes to a QB since the good ones don't usually sniff free agency--and that's been the Rams' problem for years, ever since Marc Bulger fell apart.Bammer wrote:In the same vein, the Rams' move to LA is a little scary because I just feel like being there is going to naturally improve the team.

Re: The NFL and Los Angeles
My aunt lives in LaJolla. Every year for Christmas she would get me a different San Diego Chargers jersey. I had a Ralph Benirschke jersey for God's sake! I probably had 15 of them. Anyway, since I was about 5, they've been my 2nd favorite team in football.
I suck at picking football teams for whom to root.

Re: The NFL and Los Angeles
Have you ever gotten down there for a Chargers game? I might be tempted to go to the Broncos game there next year considering that might be the last one. AFC West rivalries aside, SD's an awesome town to visit.Chris_H_2 wrote:My aunt lives in LaJolla. Every year for Christmas she would get me a different San Diego Chargers jersey.

Re: The NFL and Los Angeles
Yeah. Most recently I went to the Chargers/Jets AFC Divisionsal round in 2010 when, of course, they shit the bed. I like your idea of catching a game there next year. And my good friend just moved there.Green Habit wrote:Have you ever gotten down there for a Chargers game?
