Chargers to St. Loius? St. Loius submitted the stupid long proposal right? Clearly they want a football team badly enough to pay for it.

It doesn't but, if Spanos' options are to share a stadium with Kroenke or stay in SD, he's prob gonna take a little harder look at the latter.

I hope Farmers Field naming rights is still in play because we get bombass discounts for Farmers Open as part of our deal with the PGA and I have a bunch of friends in LA that are Niners fans.

Faulconer is a milquetoast paper bag who won't lift a finger to help a sports team. The city would need to elect someone who gives a modicum of a poo poo about sports before an inch of headway happens toward some unlikely return of the NFL to SD.

I'm gonna do some digging into how the NFL decided that St Louis wasn't viable as an NFL market, because that's total bullshit and it's pretty clear that Kroenke just blew the right people to get the ruling he wanted. Corruption is lame.

There's really nowhere better to go (unless you really like San Antonio), the NFL doesn't want 3 teams in LA and the Raiders don't have the money to go it alone.

Plus they're kinda on the upswing while the 49ers are still reforming themselves so they'll probably reap the benefits of the Bay Area market for the near future.

It would be hilarious if Raiders use their new money to move down to San Diego and build a new stadium.

The Rams and Raiders bounced in the 90s because the cities were unwilling to build them a stadium. Everyone makes fun of LA for losing teams yet they lost them for doing the thing that everyone says cities should do more often.

Mark wanted to stay in Oakland, and Kroenke wanted to leave STL. So they basically got Kroenke to bribe Davis with Oakland money to get his application off the table, narrowing it down to the Chargers and Rams.

Personally I think an Inglewood stadium will make a world of difference. The whole city drives to LAX already, it's not crazy to go there for a football game.

Mark Davis plays the LA/San Antonio card hard, signs a deal with Spanos and sits back and watches the first round of voting take place. The NFL basically gives Davis money to bow out of the deal. He makes the league happy, the owners happy, the fans happy.

I wonder if he did it on purpose

Do you think the NFL will issue a dickish public statement to take shots at St. Louis and San Diego? It seems like something Goodell would do.

This. If the NFL doesn't put an actual competitive team in the Bay Area then all of that tech money is going to be gobbled up by the NBA, NHL, and MLS.

And you may laugh when I say MLS, but that just means you've never gotten stuck in the same elevator as a bunch of Google tools. :argh:

The NFL isn't giving him a billion dollars to build a stadium. The Raiders still have to find a way to get the city of Oakland to help them, which they've already said they won't do.

What I love about MLS is that it is objectively the worst played soccer in the Western world but hipsters love it because its soccer.

Like, I love soccer but gently caress me if I can watch an MLS game
