I have to say the whole voting yourself $40 million dollars is the #1 thing that has me nervous.

Whereas the fact that the NFL really can't tell Kroenke no if he's intent on moving is the #1 thing that has me confident.

That sure is a great way to stick it to their old buddy Deano. The 'Stan is a bad guy' or 'didn't meet the relo criteria' narrative fits the greedy choice. Can the Chargers and especially the Raiders afford this if payable upfront? And what about the only one team talk we hear about?

No way only 7 owners support Inglewood and the rest Carson. This is pure media propoganda

Maybe the title isn't worded very well, this is just mentioning 7 owners who are reportedly behind Kroenke, it's not saying that they're the only ones behind Kroenke and the rest are behind Spanos.

There's probably 7-10 owners behind Inglewood (Including Jones, Kraft, Kroenke), 7-10 owners behind Carson (including Spanos, Davis, Richardson), and then 12-18 that are on the fence and will vote with what the rest are doing. I think Kroenke has the more powerful group of people behind him as well. He has more money, and more money will likely be behind him. Assuming NFC West teams support the move (for their own selfish reasons) you have at least the two most wealthy owners behind Inglewood.

Good point about Allen.

I posted this elsewhere if it looks familiar. You can be a bit less nervous as they would be voting to get $16M to $19M more (per owner) for 2 teams as opposed to just one.
And that doesn't seal the deal for Carson. You can still get 2 teams in Inglewood.
Also, my guess is since the splits apparently aren't even all the time, the Chargers and Raiders might see the lions (not Det) share of the fee to compensate and aid in their hometown projects.

You mean you didn't hear it on the radio?

The future 2nd team in Inglewood is a good point.

But one of the scenarios is Stan's $600 mil would go to help Spanos and/or Davis with their home stadiums. If that's a possible scenario, it could be $40 mil vs. zero for people who really aren't affected very much by what happens in L.A.

BTW, this is the one Carson argument (which we pretty much came up with here at RFU) that scares me a little. This is the one where greed and narrow self-interest work against us.

Just about every other factor is still going in Inglewood's favor so i'm confident the Rams will be in Inglewood next year. But of course, what i think has nothing to do with what will happen, good or bad. As always we have to wait and see...

Kroenke could always up the ante on the relocation fee.

I've been asking if anyone knew how the Carson (2 team) financials might benefit the league over 1. This is the only response I've heard which does favor the 2 team approach. I have also heard the owner preferring one team which makes sense from a dilution standpoint.
Common sense is on our side too ,, but that and $5 bucks will buy you a ham sandwich.
Were the numbers I spoke of on the radio?
