From PD:
Clayton on 101 Sports was interviewed regarding the Rams game and Karraker asked him his take on the BOA passage.

Clayton said today's BOA passage was a 'big chip' for the Spanos contingent to vote for Carson.

He also said anything could happen .

We all know that but did think it was a good move as owners like McNair etc. can argue there is a workable offer on the table from St. Louis .

The league has it set up so they could justify and give a reason why all 3 teams could relocate.

There's a reason why Grubman and Goodell put it on record the last 2 weeks. Goodell could easily stand up at a podium and poke holes in the STL plan. For PR and for legal issues.

Goodell doesn't have a vote though. I DO NOT trust these guys

Thanks Clayton for offering no inside information per usual.

Wonder when Schaaf drops the lawsuit? Ruin Christmas or wit till early January before league meetings?

Don't worry, Spanos doesn't have 24 votes There are 8 owners in Kroenke's camp disgusted with the St. Louis offer or who may want public subsidies of their own soon. They say this is good enough, that's the new bar they're setting for public stadium financing.

Even if Deano had the votes, he couldn't pull off Carson. Can't afford it. The relo fee hasn't even been set. Watch this idiot fold at the end and either go back to San Diego or shack up with his master Kroenke. And we know Davis can't either. But they have to act tough all the way through.

I say they don't vote, that the owners punt and hand over the decision to Goodhell, and that Goodhell gives the nod to ESK, and Spanos, assuming he'll stop stomping his feet long enough to negotiate and ink a deal with ESK. But Spanos won't stop the tantrum, so ESK goes alone and waits for an expansion team.

These owners are too chicken shit and too immature to vote on this. They won't risk any backlash from any side, so easiest out for them is just to say daddy (Goodhell) knows best.

There's still a lot of uncertainty with the substandard STL stadium plan.

[Elvis]

It's kind of funny to think where we were and where we are.

First Stan moved on Inglewood, then Spanos on Carson and all the while the NFL was nowhere to be found, nowhere to be heard as individual owners simply took the initiative with regards to L.A.

The NFL made a very concerted and public effort to take control of the situation, to at least give the appearance that L.A. was being handled in a methodical, orderly and careful manner.

Yet what do we see? Chaos and an out of control NFL that can't seem to manage the situation in a way that even remotely resembles order.

In a lot of ways, we're where we always were...

Nice cold shower for those idiots patting themselves on the back right now. Wasn't the NFL's word of choice "certainty" as it pertains to the city proposals come December 30. I think asshole Bob McNair said that word as well. Not only was this process in St. Louis a complete sham in the sense they did everything in their power to avoid a public or state legislative vote, but their financial proposal is very meager at best. Pathetic at worst.

And if what Schaaf is saying is true, there will be zero certainty regarding this proposal come mid January since he claims the state won't fund it. I would put this right with Oakland and San Diego as far as ZERO certainty.
