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

Seems like it. There's been chatter about compensation to the Raiders for a Chargers/Rams deal for a while. He loving threw Oakland under the bus the other day though. lol. He made sure to say he loved the fans, but he poo poo all over Oaklands weak rear end attempts to make a deal. Although it looks like it worked out for them in the end.

I read this book that had a bunch of soccer stories in it. One of them was about this Chelsea hooligan from the 80s/90s. He said he went to a Raiders game in San Diego and started beating up Chargers fans.

Better than it being a done deal. The devil will be in the details here, and Dean may have a lot more to lose by shacking up with Stan than just staying in SD.

Seriously, does this mean Spanos is going to drag this out even more? I mean he doesn't want to lose the SoCal market exclusivity but that's over now anyway, might as well cut yer fuckin losses son.

Yeah, St. Louis fans are the ones that got shafted here, even though the Rams have only been in St. Louis for twenty years

There's still no where else to play in LA.

The Chargers will be at Qualcomm in 2016.

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

Well there are only a few soccer teams around Seattle, and the Sounders are the best of the bunch, so if I want to see a game in person...

@msmallm2: St. Louis comes up with $400 mil of public money. OAK does nothing and gets league money and keeps their team. What a time to be alive.


Why is Oakland staying? I don't get it.

because the owners feel bad for treating al davis like poo poo, and mark is gonna benefit from guilt money since he looks like a simpleton, but is apparently pretty savvy

These aren't my lamps. These have feet.
Been a St Louis fan since I was a small boy... I remember the good times, screaming for Steve Bono to replace an ineffective Tony Banks. It's been quite a ride.

What do I do now? I don't live in Missouri anymore, I haven't for a decade, so I don't feel too bad following the Rams based on location alone.

On the other hand, I have absolutely no connection to LA, my wife is a Seahawks fan, I lived in Washington for five years and I'll be moving back to Washington in the future; can I switch to the Seahawks, even though they are a division rival? That feels really wrong, but maybe I should just pull the bandaid off now.

On the third hand, Kroenke and the NFL hosed us over, and this game is loving doomed once concussion liability gets too expensive. Maybe I should just get out a bit early? It's never cool to be the last person at the party.

Help me TFF

Probably not, but it is an interesting idea.
