OK, here we go. We may catch a sniff of what was on this or not. It will be interesting if the Rams even look at it. I imagine they will and it will be interesting to see if they counter. I kind of doubt they will as it might nullify the importance of their previous negotiations (or lack of),, arbitration. Or does it how more good faith exhaust all possibilities?

Either way, with out the Alderman and pesky senators and Darlene green, it could still be a hot mess. Stan doesn't want it. If the Aldermen take the fall, Peacock is vindicated publicly, the StL Rams are done and the rest will become historic. Let's hope for that result.

They'll counter behind closed doors, as the NFL prefers.

If I were on the Board of Alderman, I'd be plenty pissed off they submitted that term sheet without showing to the Board.

I still think St. Louis is fighting a losing battle. Kroenke wants LA. He's got the deep pockets to make things happen. St. Louis is relying on several things to come together. One of those falls and their plans fall. They have nothing set in stone and many questions surrounding the whole process. The NFL is doing their due diligence by listening to them and cooperating with them. But in the end, Stan's money will win. That is what these owners covet.

In my honest opinion I think Nixon, Peacock and company know the Rams are gone as so does the NFL. I think both sides realize this is to show they can do and be viable for the next expansion or if another owner moves. So I think all this is more about the future rather than the immediate. So I believe the NFL and St. Louey are in that precarious position where they have to keep up the appearance of the immediate and now, when both realize deep down all done today is for tomorrow. So I can so agree with the due diligence and St. Louey doing it's part in the now, but if ya ask me both really truly realize this is about StL's tomorrow as a NFL city.

Also by doing so in the now gives StL the ability and experience of a dry run or walk thru so they can have all kinks worked out when it's show time down the road.

And it also keeps butts in the seats at the ED. The least a few more

For sure bro for sure as StL still has bond payments to make and they still need butts in the seat as much as Stan does. Having a few more folks in the seats means the offset from the general fund is not as great if they can still get some revenue from stadium and tourism taxes.

Agree - Peacock saying that a No vote by the BoA could possibly kill the project gives him a way out that still makes him look like a hero.

Careful now making any comment that besmirches Peacock and makes him appear as human and finds something like saving face important could and probably would get ya surely shot in the murder capitol of our country

As much as i'd love to see that, i don't think it's going to happen.

The Rams are almost certainly gone regardless, why would the Aldermen put themselves in a position to take the blame?

Peacock volunteered to be the fall guy. I hope people remind him of that:

The governor needs to “be seen as initiating this or at least endorsing it,” Peacock continued. Moreover, he said, the governor and city’s mayor need a “scapegoat if we fail.”

“I’m fine being the guy either way,” Peacock wrote. “I have nothing to lose like others. I’d deflect everything from public entities and just take the blame.”
