Let's not let all the noise dampen our spirits of fuel fear. Possession is 9/10ths of the law and StL is in possession. But we can't for get that the owner clearly prefers his plan to bring the team back to LA and that is the great equalizer,,, along with his wealth.
Man it's getting harder and harder to go to the StL Rams sites as the deck is stacked against us pro LA guys.
Great analogy of Stan driving the car also I concur it's getting more and more difficult to comment on the stadium issue topics on the STL sites...Lately I've been just putting up comments about other tidbits. I have no horse in this race and maybe I'm being unsympathetic, however, I never felt right about the Rams leaving Los Angeles in the first place and rooting for the Dodgers, Lakers & Kings it would make me whole again.
But let's be upfront here the whole reason that Kroenke was able to break the lease is because the Rams are not playing in a top tier stadium and if they stay in St. Louis and the Riverfront Stadium is built, it still won't be an upper tier stadium the City of Champions stadium venue will be the number one venue in the NFL and the toast of tinseltown...Almost Home!
I love your videos and photos, but they pale in comparison to your humanity. Props to you coach..
The guys in StL are clearly growing more an more uneasy as so much dialogue has them losing their team. They just can't compete with Los Angeles. I remember telling hokahey years ago that I wish I could tie a rope around the Gateway Arch and pull St Louis out west right up next to LA so we could all enjoy the Rams, the Hollywood sign, the Arch and the sunshine together. This is going to suck for someone and I don't like that part at all.
And no wonder they don't want them to leave. No one will fill that void again.
We are up against StL and Carson in this. Everyone else is up against Stan. I beginning to get a kick out of our owner much to the chagrin of our friends in stL.
As you said, StL opened up this can of worms by using no foresight and now what could have been a sweeter deal for them may just go Bidwell.
Stan has a number of options on different levels depending on what occurs elsewhere, but for this thing to get locked up, and as you and other intelligent men have said, he and Dean need to get together. Spanos will likely be the reluctant one and the one who may want more than he deserves, so Stan need to spell out his intentions, show his meddle and let Deano know that he means business.
den, the Rams deal in LA is just to perfect and I will be shocked if the NFL owners put the kibosh on it.
