As long as we're doing blasts from the past, here's Governor Nixon in 1995 when he was Attorney General:

''The NFL teams are separate, independent businesses that compete with one another on and off the field,'' Mr. Nixon says. ''If the other NFL teams and the Rams' competitors act as a cartel to stop them from doing business in the city of their choice, it would be a classic restraint of trade. We're not going to stand by on the sidelines and let the smoke-filled-room cartel of the NFL take away what we've earned.''

What we fans have no clue to is how much influence TV contracts and rights have in all this. TV money is huge, and I have to think that it will be in play for a lot of the owners in their final decision.

Now I know where Bernie gets his cartel analogy from, too bad it works against him in this scenario.
