NFL vice president Eric Grubman, who served as the league's point man on the relocation process; San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos, who pitched the relocation plan the league rejected; former Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, who reportedly pushed for the Rams to remain in St. Louis; and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who helped lead the charge for the Rams' return to California.

And don't forget Houston's McNair. With Richardson's name on the list there could be some push back on their little attempt to collude with Spanos and the relo committee.
Dirty dogs.

I assume LA might have sued the GF/Rams and Raiders although I don't remember that happening. Still seems rich that after boasting about getting the LA Rams into StL (which was a miracle made in Frontiere-land) and how the fans were better so LA didn't deserve them, that this happens. StL just comes off butthurt and petty with this attempt to get a lb of flesh.

Yes, we are butthurt and petty. Again, what is there to lose? And spare me the "diginity" line. There's none left for us.

-repay the $20 millionish we paid when Demoff praised the North Riverfront plan and asked for changes.
-give up the claim on Rams Park for $1. Hell, donate it to a youth sports league and write it off.

Attorneys may be pampering the butthurt with assurances and at the same time laughing as they're carrying more of St. Louis' cash to the bank.

The relocation lawsuit, filed in April 2017 by the dome authority, St. Louis and St. Louis County against the Rams, the NFL and 31 other NFL teams and owners, alleges breach of contract, fraud, illegal enrichment and interference in business by the Rams and the NFL, causing significant public loss.

without seeing the discovery, initial contract, depositions, and laws they base their allegations on, it is impossible to render a absolute outcome of this ... nevertheless, there has to be a LOT more brought out in court that hasn't been shared in public for St. Louis to stand a chance in hell.

Yes, there is stuff not being disclosed. Supposedly the story is the Rams left enough info/documents behind at Rams Park to fuel the lawsuit. Like it wouldn't have progressed if it wasn't for what was found.

You'd think they were the Colts escaping in the middle of the night with how messy they were. I guess it was just excitement to get out of here. But if I was in charge there wouldn't have been as much as a paper clip.

Demoff allegedly strikes again..

Demoff allegedly strikes again..

The one play is to ask the right questions (using the information found at Rams Park) during the depositions to scare the owners into settling.

St Louis can have their lawsuit, settlement, whatever. It can be their Superbowl. All I know is the Rams are back home so I'm good.

Like I've said 100 times you won. You have football and the greatest sports venue in the world. Congratulations on your victory.

If they do have these depositions, i hope we can watch, will be must see TV...

Rams owner Stan Kroenke sits for deposition in St. Louis' NFL lawsuit

ST. LOUIS — Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke sat for a deposition this week in St. Louis' lawsuit against the team and the National Football League over the Rams' move in 2016.

The deposition, held virtually because of the pandemic, lasted two days, taking place Wednesday and Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter. Kroenke offered his testimony from Los Angeles. It marks a significant milestone in the case, filed in 2017, as Kroenke's words figure to be a key factor.

Kroenke was questioned by Bob Blitz, of St. Louis-based firm Blitz, Bardgett & Deutsch LC, who is representing the plaintiffs. Jerry Carmody, of Clayton-based Carmody MacDonald PC, represented Kroenke during the deposition. Neither lawyer's firm responded to requests for comment. A message left at Kroenke Sports & Entertainment wasn't immediately returned.

Any transcript of Kroenke's testimony isn't public; the case is under a protective order from the St. Louis Circuit Court. It would figure to become available if the case proceeds to trial, which is currently scheduled for Oct. 25.

The lawsuit, filed by the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority (RSA), the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County, claims that the league, among other things, didn't follow its own relocation policy in allowing the Rams to leave St. Louis for Los Angeles. If the three entities win the lawsuit, they could be awarded millions — possibly upward of $1 billion — in damages. The RSA, a public entity, spent more than $17 million in a failed bid to build the Rams a Mississippi riverfront stadium, an effort abandoned when the team left.

Interesting that Kroenke used Carmody. They're mostly a real estate law firm from my understanding.
