Re: Los Angeles Rams
Never thought id see this day. I don't live in LA anymore, but will definitely try to catch a game. If the team plays in the coliseum or carson city, my parents that live around the area all definitely see a lot of that traffic.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;

Re: Los Angeles Rams
As a kid my family would all get together for LA Rams games, but I didnt start following football till after they left. I could never get fully behind a team, and told myself the first team to play in LA will gain me as a fan for life. My Gurley jersey will be ordered ASAP!

Gurley is destined for superstardom. The next AP. As a Hawks fan, I'm super worried about having to face him twice a year. He will be the face of that franchise going forward. I feel for St. Louis fans, having lost a team. But, at the same time like the idea of the team on the west coast.

Well they lost a team that wasn't theirs to begin with ;P I do feel bad for them, but i'm sure they can see it from our perspective. If OKC Thunder 10-20 years down the line end up moving back to Seattle, I am sure there would be some Oklahoma fans upset, but the majority of the country would understand.

The day the Sonics left, was one of the worst days of my life! Will never forget. If, that scenario ever did play out, I'd obviously be thrilled. Congrats, man!

I've always had a dislike for that team going back to the old AFC West days. But, they really do belong there. Hopefully they get a new stadium passed, cuz your right the O.Co Coliseum or whatever its called is pretty bad.

Re: Los Angeles Rams
First of all, the message is clear. The Raiders must move in with the 49ers and share stadium. The east coast solution? Look at jets and giants. So they are trying to force the raiders into that deal. Likewise, the rams and chargers. Im glad the NFL is back in LA. Because there is nothing like winning in Los Angeles. When you win in LA you are royalty. Kings. Hollywood superstar. You truly own the city! Different from winning in any other city. But if you lose, thats a different story. The team must win. Do so, and it will transform America. Yes. The nation will feel good about itself again. Thats how big it is winning in LA

Wait...I'm confused? How exactly would the rest of the "nation feel good about itself", if say the Rams in LA won a SB. Sure, it would be great for Rams fans & Socal. It is great that the Rams are back in L.A., but transform America?

I agree that the most logical thing for the Raiders would be to partner with the Niners in Santa Clara for the time being. I Doubt it happens with Mark Davis as the owner. The Chargers will end up in L.A. also, which is a shame. San Diego is a great town & should keep the team.

Re: Los Angeles Rams
I'm surprised the NFL was willing to write off the St. Louis market. I'm not sure this was the correct call. Let the Chargers move to L.A. and the Sand Diego market will be just fine. That's a car ride for season ticket holders. But when you move a team out of a region like that, you can lose the market altogether.

Folks, the Economy is already on the road to recovery. RECOGNIZE! Similar to what reggie bush did to New Orleans Louisiana. But on a larger scale. REAL TALK! How the gas prices at your local gas station? REAL STORY! Did you have a good Christmas? THATS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT!

Yep I just don't see the need for the Rams to go there if they get the Chargers. They have been w/out a team for like 20 years right, and all of a sudden they need 2 ? I would feel bad for Rams fans if they weren't Cards fans

Yeah, and they are going to be the step child to the Rams, who have a large fan base in LA already. They will be the Clippers of the 80s-2010 compared to the Lakers during that time period. I guess the Clippers moved from San Diego too, now that I think about it.

I feel bad for the few hardcore Rams fans in St. Louis. It was only 1999-2000 that they won a Super Bowl there....

Re: Los Angeles Rams
I never was a huge football fan, but the Rams was the team I preferred. Never got into the Raiders and never trusted them. Al Davis was a snake as far as I was concerned and I'm not sure when the Chargers left Los Angeles, so it's a natural fit to see both of them come back. I was a bit surprised as to how excited I am to see them return. Inglewood, Ca is primarily a poverty stricken town south of Los Angeles with a lot of crime and gangs, so this is going to be a huge boost for the town and will help the better neighborhoods working so hard to be bring the problems under control. Property values will go up and income will come into the town for upgrades. It is going to be a nice project for Los Angeles. My condolences, however to all of the residents and fans of St Louis. It's a tough break for them
