Yeah. Goodell is a coward though. What we are seeing transpire is the reason we will never get a team. They need LA for leverage for teams to get stadiums built in their own town. Its a joke thatJacksonville has a team. |
How does that make him a coward? =x |
He's coward in general. Look at his tenure as commisioner. |
Do you have a job? Do you do what your employer asks, tells you to? If you do does that make you a coward? Goodell is a employee.
|
Yes I have a job. Look if you don't think he's a coward then fine. His actions on things THAT he controls has been cowardly. |
What things?

Whew. Lets see: The Ray Rice Situation and all the lies told, The Adrian Petersen situation any player situation that deals with punishment of some kind. His double standard with deflategate or the Whole Cleveland Browns. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam company got caught committing fraud by the Feds. No punishment. Its in the NFL bylaws that an owner/executive committing fraud will be punished or banned from the league.

Chargers and Rams need to stay in their cities.
Los Angeles is a majority Raider fanbase. If any football team has to come to Los Angeles it has to be the Raiders. |
You don't get it. If you're a Raiders fan you should be wishing for the Rams to come to L.A. The Raiders can't come to L.A. on their own. Being the 2nd team is the only way. Mark Davis doesn't have the money to move and build a stadium. |
Raiders and Rams sharing a new stadium in Inglewood? That would be epic. |

Nowhere in that video did he say St. Louis and the Rams were close to a deal. He said they were working on it and that 2016 was when football would return to LA.

I consider his handling of player related situations dubious but I don't think they were cowardly. He made big mistakes.
He got himself caught between a rock and a hard place in his attempts to clean up. In that effort he failed miserably.
Jimmy Haslem is a owner, he was kissing ass. I call that job security.

Yeah, seeing that they were no longer in the NFL's plans, they sabotaged the Inglewood stadium plans and then says peace out.. |

If Stan is hellbent on moving, theres nothing that can stop him, certainly not the commissioner.
The Commissioner's office wasn't able to stop the Colts from leaving Baltimore, Raiders from leaving LA, and Browns from leaving Cleveland. Of course it will all depend on Kroenke's willpower to get a team to LA at the end of the day. |

Stan needs to be the Man and take down Goodell and the goons at AEG. If Al Davis made Rozelle look like a jackass; a hairless, half brained monkey can make a putz like Roger Goodell look like an idiot.
Rams and Raiders back in LA. State of the Art stadium. Fan bases are already here. Inglewood wont cause the kind of headaches and traffic another stadium would in downtown LA. It is the perfect set up. Al Davis is dead and it looks like his son has a little more realistic view on the stadium situation instead of playing cowboy wanting your own stadium without paying for it yourself.

Chargers rep confirms team will file for relocation to Los Angeles
| Quote: | It's long been assumed that the Chargers, Raiders and Rams will all file for relocation to Los Angeles when the NFL starts accepting applications in early 2016, but until Friday, none of the three teams had actually confirmed it.
That changed though when Mark Fabiani, the Chargers point man for the team's relocation issue, went on a San Diego radio station and acknowledged that the Chargers will absolutely be applying for relocation.
"At this point yes, because there's no sign that the other team or teams are not going to file," Fabiani told The Mighty 1090-AM. "Everyone assumes all three teams will file, and in that case we can't afford to lose our market in Los Angeles and Orange County."
Back in February, the Chargers proposed a joint $1.7-billion stadium project with the Raiders that calls for a stadium in Carson, Calif. The Rams also have a project that would call for a $1.86-billion stadium in Inglewood.
According to Fabiani, the Chargers have more to lose out on if they don't file for relocation because one-fourth of the team's season-ticket holders live in the Los Angeles-area.
"As you know, 25 percent of our season-ticket business comes from those markets. So we have to be able to protect those markets," Fabiani said. "That's why as a last resort we went out and created the certain option we now have in Los Angeles. And if everything is moving ahead, we're not going to be standing on the sidelines and watching everything go by. We've got to stay in the game to protect the future of the franchise."
Although Fabiani's comments aren't necessarily good news for Chargers fans, he did acknowledge that there's a chance the team could stay in San Diego if the NFL decided to push back its Los Angeles timeline by a year.
The problem for the Chargers is that they want a stadium in downtown San Diego and the city has been pushing for a stadium in the Mission Valley-area, where Qualcomm Stadium currently stands.
Cory Briggs, an attorney in San Diego, is spearheading an effort to get a stadium built downtown for the Chargers as part of a what would also include some much-needed upgrades to the city's convention center.
Briggs' plan would call for raising the hotel tax in San Diego to help pay for the stadium, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
If the NFL moves its LA timeline back a year, that would give Briggs a chance to get the ball rolling on his project.
"What Briggs is doing is bypassing the normal process," Fabiani said. "He's doing what we did in Carson, and what Stan Kroenke did in Inglewood. He's going out and gathering signatures to be able to put something on the ballot without the involvement of the mayor or the city council and I think going forward if there's a solution here in San Diego, it's going to have to come from the citizens' initiative process. It's pretty clear at this point the city's leadership doesn't really listen to anything the Chargers have to say."
On the NFL's end, the next step will come on Oct. 28, when the league hosts a public hearing on relocation in San Diego. The hearing will give Chargers fans a chance to express concerns to the NFL about the Chargers leaving San Diego.
NFL owners are also scheduled to meet in Dallas in December, a meeting where several decisions could be made regarding the league's future in LA. |

Those Charger fans were livid at the meeting tonight.....
If the NFL had any common sense they would only consider the Rams and Raiders....they are the only 2 teams where they have a built in fanbase in LA. I know theres Charger fans in the LA/OC area but they probably don't care enough and would be fine traveling to SD for games.
Hope the NFL has a big security team for tomorrows fan meeting up in Oakland.... |
