There is no way they ever move away from the Raiders and them colors. WAY to much of a money maker and if i figured anything out about the NFL is that money is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in football.
hell the Raiders and the NFL encouraged the NWA movement. They loved that (bleep). |

I've said for years now that the Rams will eventually come home and I'm sticking to it. It's the second team at this point that intrigues me the most though. Raiders vs Chargers will be an epic boardroom battle.

I'm way over the fact that the Rams left.
I'm very pleased that the Raiders left.
I'm at the point where I much prefer NOT having an LA NFL team. That ship has sailed. Any history has been destroyed and having an "expansion team" simply seems like a consolation prize to a city that deserves better.
At this point, after 20 years, any NFL fan that resides in LA already has an established favorite. And if they care about that team they've found a way root for the their team and attend games if they wish. |

great, we can just raise sales tax again.
Obviously we need the NFL that badly in LA. |
The state is doing fine right now. We are looking at surpluses for the immediate future, barring a catastrophic drop in the market. Los Angeles is a different story.

I enjoy the nfl and don't have a team I strongly root for. Rams and Raiders left just a couple of years before I really started getting into it. Never had a team I was emotionally invested in because none of them represented the city I live in. I can't wait for us to get another team.

Disagree. The Rams were deeply embedded into the fiber of Los Angeles until being stuck with a horrible owner in Georgia Frontiere.
It is long past time for the Rams to come back home to Los Angeles.

Don't have a team since the Rams, Raiders left. I have players I root for.

I really don't see it as a big deal. Particularly when the financials get sorted out and due to all the seat licensing etc. it's going to cost a small fortune to attend a game. And if attending a game is cost prohibitive for the majority of fans, I don't see an LA team really drawing a huge fan base.
I've been to many football games over the years - college and NFL, including a Super Bowl and Rose Bowl games. With the advent of HD TV and the remarkable coverage that exists now, football is much more interesting on the TV and you definitely get more bang for your buck.
LA's been fine without an NFL team for a couple of decades now.
I wouldn't protest a team coming to LA, but it's nothing I think is really going change much. |

Its going to be the Raiders coming back to L.A.
Oakland stadium is the oldest stadium in NFL. Raiders owners can't wait to get the hell out. Their speaker system is worse than a stereo on a clunker. And their lease is up this season. All signs point to Raiders in L.A.
L.A. fanbase is mostly Raiders.
Raiders finally have their franchise QB. They'll add the number 1 running back with the first overall pick to open the passing game and the Raiders will back back on top real fast. Add 49ers coach. Done. |

I'd prefer the Rams for LA. Strictly for football reasons.
Their defensive front 7 is above average. Their secondary is somewhere around mediocre. Brian Quick is solid when healthy. If they improve their O-line and QB via the draft they could grab a wildcard playoff spot next season.

Disagree. The Rams were deeply embedded into the fiber of Los Angeles until being stuck with a horrible owner in Georgia Frontiere.
It is long past time for the Rams to come back home to Los Angeles. |
Rams were never Los Angeles. They were orange county. Los Angeles is a Raiders town. Only the Raiders fan base will fill the stadium consistantly cause Raider Nation is deep and loyal. |

You know the Rams played in Los Angeles for 33 years right? From 1946-1979 at the Coliseum before moving to Orange County. They played for another 15 years in Orange County. That's 48 years in the Southland.
Raiders? 12 years. Not sure where this notion that the Raiders are some sort of Los Angeles institution came from. |

The Rams are really the only real LA team. When Carroll Rosenbloom was alive the Rams were very relevant. IIRC he drowned.

Exactly. LA was a very temporary location for them from up North while that lunatic Al Davis played NFL politics.
The Raiders may have played their home games here for a while. But no true Raider fan would consider the Raiders an LA team.
LA was just "on loan" while Davis played his legal games. The Raiders were never truly and LA team, no matter how many gang-bangers jumped on board. |
