What do you think the likelihood is that the Rams are in LA next year?

Just seems with all the approvals for the St. Louis stadium is going to give the LA Committee the ammunition to turn the tide in favor of Carson.

Highly likely.

If their approvals actually were good, I' be worried Keep the faith, my man.

That appears to be current tone.

I keep looking at the aftermath if Carson gets approved. So many things look wrong to me, but maybe I'm too biased, I just don't know.

Here are the biggest points against picking Carson:
1. It will not be a decision that all the owners walk away from united on. When have they ever done that?
2. They will be leaving 2 superior markets and staying in a dying market.
3. Mark Davis has no money and poor managerial skills and he carries baggage from Al Davis.
4. How is it good business to take the 2nd richest owner and shut him and his deep pockets out of LA, where big money is so necessary, and keep him in the dead STL market?

Against that, what advantages does Carson have going for it?
1. Making Spanos happy.
2. Solves 2 old stadium problems in Cali. Although, Inglewood w/ Rams-Chargers and help funding new stadium in Oak is even better solution.
2. A subpar stadium plan in a dying market that has open funding issues.

I know the NFL has always said a team just can't leave their current market just to make more money in another market, but this situation is very complicated. Stan did win an arbitration to be a free agent.

100%

To me the question has become far more complicated and as a result far more difficult to handicap.

If you remove all common sense, money and logic from the equation, the LA Rams are DOA.
If you don't, the LA Rams have by far the best chance.

All of the articles a tweets that came out after the BoA approval tells me there might be more to that rhetoric than spin. It seemed more like breaking news, or preformed opinions based on which ever result came out of StL's hearing.

Why would we be getting such positive Carson messages? Who actions, opinions or decisions are still vulnerable to pro Carson spin? San Diego.
But after the comments made by Goodell and Grubman regarding the deadlines not being met in SD & Oakland, why keep smacking SD down after a StL victory (of sorts)? What purpose does it serve other than to the reporters trying to get a scoop on what they really feel is going on?

Everything we have heard all year has been very pro ESK / CoC and after all the meetings when the owners spoke, the buzz in the media was all Rams.
Since the committee came to the forefront everything has reversed. Call me clueless since these owners and their procedure seem devoid of common sense.

I've been at 85% all along but I must say that if some more encouraging pro LA Rams info comes out I give it a 50-50 spread now and that factors ESK possibly just going no matter what.

Another Carson advantage, Bubba gets to park cars for games in his yard for 30 bucks a pop.

That might be the only good thing about Carson bubba. If the Charaiders get the nod, I will hold that thought every time I'm near a tall bridge or a short pier.
