I want a team in San Antonio.

Jerry Jones will never allow it.

It’s okay. There is no team in the NFL that Cowboys fans hate more than the Eagles. The Rams don’t come close.

Yes, LA already has a team that plays their players, USC.

Cleveland has a football team?

You mean the Cleveland Rams?

Well you might say so. But stealing a football team from a place like Cleveland and moving them to LA is not really stealing. It's more like Good Samaritan Activity. And, don't forget, we left them with the Cleveland Browns. That was quite a team. Otto Graham, Paul Brown.

It's a lot different for a city famed lately for it's riots. St. Louis taking away our beloved Los Angeles Rams was truly a crime. That needs to be fixed or there is no justice in this world.

I would have guessed Redskins.

That was true during the Landry era. The Redskins haven’t fielded many decent teams since then. Other than tossing a funeral wreath into the Cowboys locker room back in those days, the Skins haven’t reached the hoodlum level of Eagles fans. Visiting fans risk assault in Philadelphia nowadays.

The best rivalries are measured in generations, not years. Hence the Bears-Packers games are still a hot ticket even when one or both teams stink, same with Broncos-Raiders.

No, they don't.

It’s just for TV mostly anyway, so why not let fans just pay to control their own bots in the stadium?

I don’t see why cities are expected to pay for and build stadiums for NFL teams, just for the prestige of having NFL football in your city.

This is a key factor with the LA relocation talk, the fact that each team mentioned is having difficulty getting a new stadium built with public money in their current city.


The Rams' owner wants to pay for his own stadium in LA. No public dollars for him. He should absolutely be allowed to move the team.

How can you use the words “ram fan” and “Georgia” in the same sentence? If it wasn’t for her the rams would still be in LA.

I have no use for chorus girl Violet Frances Irwin a k a

Georgia Geiger-Johnson-Hayes-Wyler-Rosenbloom-Frontiere-Weatherwax.

However, it is impossible to describe the Rams illustrious Super Bowl Championship without admitting the fact that it was in fact won in Atlanta, Georgia.
