Ram-It Los Angeles!

Coliseum/Rose Bowl

Rose Bowl already told the NFL to fuck off.

 

[Josh5890]

So with the LA thing finally wrapping up, how's the NFL ever going to get a stadium built again?

After Oakland's situation is finished the NFL shouldn't have any stadium issues for a good decade outside of maybe Buffalo

 

[BlackGhost]

look on the bright side, rams fans. this means aaron donald will be in commercials and stuff.

Gurley can be a Subway sponsor just like my guy Trent :")

Idk I just always thinks it sucks when teams move, but obvious I'm bias.

Cross-posting from the other thread, but I really do wonder how they'll handle the GSOT guys, HoF, SJax, etc. If they do try to celebrate them, it will be weird as hell because none of ever played in L.A. If they don't, then it's a disservice to those guys.

They will do it, and it will be awkward.

I remember a halftime ceremony honoring Deacon Jones years ago. It was awkward. Like, "I love this franchise, and [well shit, I guess I can't say 'this city'], uh, this franchise..."

 

[Spectral Glider]

That's kind of what Munchak did:

This is one of your Coaches and does not include Coach Joey Porter and what he did against the Bengals going weeks back.

Stay classy with the personal attacks on Burfict too.

Yeah, I know right. Drop that leg, Munch, drop the fucking leg! By gawd, Reggie "The Twat" Nelson has been broken in half!!

Team name already changed to the Los Angeles Rams on NFL.com.

I'm sure it'll be as awkward as the Kevin Durant breaking Gary Payton's franchise records.

Heard it may be possible perhaps for both NFL teams to share the LA Coliseum should Chargers opt to exercise their option to join in 2015

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 32s32 seconds ago
Indeed, hearing USC signed off on two NFL teams sharing LA Coliseum starting as soon as 2016. Wow

Business about to pick-up at the Coliseum

 

[RBH]

Rams to LA, with Chargers getting first crack through Jan 16, 2017, then Raiders have preference, per sources.

lol "these players were instrumental in bringing a lombardi trophy to the, uh, LA Rams (?)"

I remember the STL Rams got a lot of crap for ignoring their history pre-1995. I wonder if the last 20 years will be a black hole where nothing happened to LA.

Also I just realized how bizarre the HoF speeches will be for Pace, Warner, etc. I hope they go all in on how great the STL fans were when they speak.

Nope and I don't know a single person that is either, everyone is excited about seeing their teams come visit though lol

I'm betting the two owners voting against were Oakland and Kansas City.

Resolution: Rams move to LA, Inglewood venue. Chargers have option to move there for one year, then option reverts to Raiders.

How does that make sense? The Chargers could be without a home after next season?

 

[Officerrob]

So the Chargers have one year window where they have priority to join the Rams, then the Raiders become a factor if things don't get going in Oakland

 

[squicken]

So the NFL is giving Oakland money to build a stadium, but would not take the money STL tried to give them to build a stadium for their second richest owner? And there's already a stadium in Santa Clara?

 

[Spectral Glider]

Bad sex party at Pornkowski's house. Must be also where the Cheat got his black eye.

 

[Fox318]

So with the LA thing finally wrapping up, how's the NFL ever going to get a stadium built again?

London

 

[Elfforkusu]

No, they have to make a decision over the next year.

Really, it's to see if they can leverage SD into a building a stadium in a year.

That is a flight back to Boston from Fort Myers, a 6 hour flight.

Definitely home in time to party.

Ok. But could that area really sustain 2 teams in LA and a team in San Diego long term? Assuming Oakland moves to LA and San Diego gets that stadium

 

[skLaFarebear]

The Rams and the Chargers are going to LA? Wow

 

[Elfforkusu]

Who knows?

tbh, I'm not sure LA can sustain 2 teams long term even without a SD team. Won't stop them from trying, though...

Would imagine a Jeff Fisher contract extension will be in the cards now with Rams heading back to his stomping grounds

Seriously? LOL

Jeff Fisher is a man who knows how to get paid.

Condolences to Rams and Chargers fans here

The initial tweet said it happened Saturday night. Jones went to hospital 7am Sunday morning

Chargers got an option select, now or later.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Chargers got an option select, now or later.

Ohh, so its only the Rams right now and the Chargers have the option. That's still pretty huge though to have two teams in one stadium.

 

[Josh5890]

How much you want to be that the Rams are getting the first home opener before anyone else in that new stadium.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

chandler jones overdosed at one of gronks house parties? lol stay classy patties!

Chargers get a $100m check from the NFL if they stay in SD...? Hmm...

This shit is going to go on for another year, isn't it!
