>>I understand that LA is still mainly about the Chargers, Raiders, 49ers, and Rams. And yet, they keep showing NFC East and North teams on TV there from what I hear.<<
Nah, that is just Al Davis scamming the NFL.
No one follows the Rams and few the Raiders (although there is more of a emotional attachment to the latter).
As far as Chargers go, we in L.A. look at San Diego as a little sister with some nice clothes, not really worth much of our attention.

You gotta love Al. The NFL won’t be the same after he’s gone.

There’s one football site I know that has a regular poster who goes ballistic every time Chargers games are shown in LA. He keeps posting stuff like “CHARGERS SUCK!!! WE WANT TO SEE THE RAIDERS FOR CRISSAKE!!!”
And I’ve seen other people on the net saying that there are no Cowboys or Bears fans in LA and they need to stop showing their games there.

Not to hear Mr. Caps Lock tell it. To be fair, the Raiders did win a SB in LA. The Rams had to move to St. Louis before they could do that.

The Chargers have always been the red-headed stepchild of California football, but LA is a designated secondary market for them.
