Houston Oilers sounds so much better than Houston Texans, and I don't understand why they weren't allowed to use that name since the Titains dropped it.

The Adams family still owns the rights to it, and they still use the Oilers uniform as their throwback

Since this is the best opportunity to do so, the LA Chargers better play in the powder blues.

We can hope the Rams go back to the Yellow and Blue colors.

It sucks for both teams, but I assume people who live in San Diego will still be able to watch the LA Chargers on tv, STL Fans are going to get more Bears games on tv...

Every team that is moving should be required to give their fans one last 'We are tearing all the seats out of Cleveland Stadium' game before they go

Ross you're welcome to be a Texans fan if you want to continue your tradition of cheering for a team that refuses to fire its mediocre long entrenched GM

Of course, you're used to having a good QB so that might not appeal to you

At least I won't have to miss as many good games because there's a terrible Rams game on TV blocking every other choice.

On the other hand this should significantly cut down on the number of NFC East Joe Buck games over here

Almost certainly secondary market, which at least allows you to watch the Patriots, Steelers, Packers or NFC East on at the same time.

Gonna pump the brakes on the idea of Chargers to LA being a done deal. As of 10 minutes ago I'm not seeing indication of anything final, just a "framework".

Indianapolis is closer to St Louis than either city and I think Cardinals fans would rather die than cheer a Chicago team. But probably chiefs

SDSU/future MLS team combo facility is one of the floated ideas. Could be worked into a poor man's Inglewood-esque redevelopment of the qualcomm site. There's just no other usable land around the Mesa so sadly mission valley's still their best bet.

Who is supposed to see those anyways? They look like they are point up out of the stadium. Renders are always the dumbest things.
