LA Sportscaster Jeanne Zelasko Talks Rams' Future, Kroenke's Interest in 2022 World Cup

Brendan Marks posted on June 09, 2015 11:18

Late last month, Jeanne Zelasko of The Beast 980 in Los Angeles added fuel to the proverbial relocation fire after she tweeted the Rams will be leaving St. Louis.

A week later, Zelasko inferred the Raiders and Chargers were the favorites to move to LA. She joined Joe Roderick and Willie Springer on Prime Time Monday night to discuss her comments and the latest she's hearing on the NFL and Los Angeles saga.

On her tweet that the Rams were headed to LA:

Zelasko: "Yeah the tweet two weeks ago I stand behind a local TV guy, Glenn Walker who works here in LA. He got lambasted as well. Him and I share a mutual source who said that the Rams have put all their ducks in a row, and with the coincidental addition of the owner's meeting in August, that it will be put up or shut up time and (Rams owner Stan) Kroenke has dotted all the I's and crossed all the T's and is ready to make the move."

On Kroenke and the 2022 World Cup (if it gets taken away from Qatar):

Zelasko: "What I did hear was, everything that broke with FIFA deeply impacted what's going on in Inglewood. Because Inglewood has their eye on the prize of the 2022 World Cup at that facility that Kroenke is building in Inglewood."

On if St. Louis can save the Rams:

Zelasko: "Anything's possible, but this race has been so odd to watch, but if it was decided today, I think the Rams would be gone, and then you hope that the NFL respects what the city does enough to pock up another team."

On what she thinks the announcement will be at the end of the season:

Zelasko: "I think the Kroenke camp is getting a little bit frustrated with pitching what they have and waiting for carson to catch up. If you called Stan Kroenke now and said OK it's your decision, he'd start throwing everything into a truck and driving away and everybody I've talked to, they're ready."

Obviously I'm a homer when it comes to Inglewood but that stadium is going to be amazing. Who wouldn't want to play there? Whether is a World Cup game or the Final Four. It's going to be the an iconic stadium in world. And we've only seen a handful of pictures!

And this is why the Rams belong back in Los Angeles...Again I have no dog in this hunt and have enjoyed my visits to St. Louis in more ways than one, however, do I want my team to stay in a city that is struggling to grow and in a very nice Riverfront Stadium that we've seen in other cities, i.e. Pittsburgh & Cincinnati or do I want them to be the toast of Tinseltown in a palatial venue second to none? That's right even better than Jerry's Palace in Arlington.

Add to it the luster of free agents wanting to play in Los Angeles and it's simple and it's time for our team to come home!

Also Stan is going to market this team like crazy because they have to get it right in LA. They're going to get a lot of attention in the media because it is LA and the NFL will pump the hype even more. Meaning, more prime time games and more media coverage. It's a good revival for the Rams they need it they need to be relevant. Obviously winning will help, but still they're going to get attention no matter what. At least for the fist handful of year the "honey mood" period.
