will be 90 percent about what makes #NFL sense for LA. Minimal about home markets

If true, it's REALLY game over for the Chargers and Raiders.

Really? How so?

To me that screams of 2 teams is better than 1.

It depends on their meaning for the word sense. Suddenly this is all about LA. Did they ask what we want?

i really wish I could compare the 3 proposals. The rams presentation was very simple and sloppy although it laid the groundwork nicely. If the Charaiders pitch is really good, that would be a blow at the finish line.
I think we are going to see a Disneyesque presentation next week. Iger is going to earn that buck.
There is work do be done. Fingers crossed.

I certainly don't think it's game over for the Chargers and the Raiders moving to LA, but I think that's definitely a positive for Rams to LA fans because it means STL's crappy stadium proposal won't help them keep the Rams.

Unfortunately, for awhile it's looked like there's going to be two teams in LA and no matter what site is chosen. the most "logical" decision will be the Rams and Chargers in Inglewood. Since Davis has the least money/power, he'll get paid off for not getting to move to LA. I don't know how any LA Raider fans that have been paying attention could feel that the Raiders have a legitimate chance to move to LA.

I know a few but they want the Raider for personal reasons of course.

Spanos talking to the press,,, what was the look on his face?? His vibe? Anything. C'mon Vinny / Acee

Bingo. On the money again. Making most sense to 29 owners can mean a lot of things and unfortunately what the people of LA want is probably not part of the equation.
This is what has me concerned, it's not about what makes sense. They are gonna do what they want to do and then try to spin their decision.
The correct decision is so effing obvious but hat doesn't matter.

And calm Spanos (I assume) speaking doesn't make it sound like he's upset.

Not upset ESK outlined his potential lawsuit.

NFL closing in on Los Angeles relocation decision

Posted on January 6, 2016 by Vincent Bonsignore

NEW YORK – One by one, National Football League owners left league headquarters in New York City expressing optimism they can make a decision next week in Houston on whether the St. Louis Rams or Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers will be approved for relocation to Los Angeles and what site they will call home.

“I think we all want to see this issue settled by next week,” said New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

And after a long, full day of meetings here, the 17 owners making up the committee on Los Angeles Opportunities and the stadium and finance committees created a path they hope will finally push the process over the goal line.

Part of which requires the Chargers, Raiders and Rams adhering to a series of stipulations by the end of the week.

Among them, agreeing to a $550 million relocation fee, per team, and providing a date for the opening of their new stadiums.

The Rams are proposing a privately funded stadium in Inglewood and the Chargers and Raiders have teamed up to build a stadium in Carson.

According to a high-ranking league official, the NFL’s stadium and finance committees will take those factors into account – among others, according to another source – to determine whether the Rams, Raiders or Chargers are eligible for relocation.

That will set the stage for a relocation vote next week in Houston.

At which point, the three teams will learn their fates and the city of Los Angeles will find out who will be playing in the second-biggest market in the country next season.

“I think everyone’s looking forward to a resolution to this whole process,” said Chargers owner Dean Spanos. (Hopefully) it’ll get done.”
