McNair most likely. It doesn't matter now. Talk about going rogue. The LA Spanos committee has a couple of rogue members. Who appointed that lot again??

My guess is that Goodell knows that if that deal gets approved everyone will want that same deal, meaning more cost for the NFL, and that Kroenke would call foul.

It seems it wasn't well thought out of by McNair.

That's why i thought it might be some kind of back handed kabuki to get Oakland $100 million to stay in Oakland...

I wouldn't imagine that is the case, because if they wanted to get money to Oakland it would be better to do so via relocation fees. Doing it by allowing an extra 100 million from the G4 or whatever the plan was sets a precedence that other cities would (in theory) be able to take advantage of as well. Doing it via relocation fees would be something that isn't repeatable unless we find ourselves with multiple teams jockeying for a specific city again.

not only that, but just shows how shady the task force is, when this was told to them 2 days ago and yet they still worked it into b of a vote.

That fake $100 million was in exchange for letting Rams keep amusement tax. So what happens with that?

An Alderman is saying they will pass the bill as is because all the private money is hypothetical. Okay, sounds like a wonderful strategy. I guess they're playing with monopoly money now. If that's the case, they're passing a proposal that is 100 million short of budget.

Looks like Bernie needs to grovel to Grubman again.

I really don't want to hear ANYONE say the St. Louis proposal is good enough. It's a joke right now.
