Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

Today is the day, if Deano is going to foul up this whole process, how do you see the owners going? Below is my synopsis of the owners I feel will go one way or another. What are your thoughts?

AZ (Bidwill)
ATL (Blank)
BAL (Bisciotti)
BUF (Pegula)
CAR (Richardson) *
CHI (McCaskey)
CIN (Brown)
CLE (Haslam)
DAL (Jones)
DEN (Bowlen)
DET (Ford)
GB (GB INC)
HOU (McNair) *
IND (Irsay)
JAX (Khan)
KC (Hunt)
MIA (Ross)
MIN (Wilf)
NE (Kraft)
NO (Benson)
NYG (Mara)
NYG (Johnson)
OAK (Davis) *
PHI (Lurie)
PIT (Rooney)
SD (Spanos) *
SF (York)
SEA (Allen)
RAMS (Kroenke)
TB (Glazer)
TEN (Adams)
WAS (Snyder)

Goodell

* Definitely Spanos allies
Bold is definitely Kronk allies.

Lean toward Spanos:

Benson - Not because he is a friend of Dean but he may be a friend of STL.
McClasky - Old Guard and will not do what is best for league.

Lean towards Stan:

Biscotti, Snyder, Lurie, York - They are businessmen who I read thinks the Inglewood is better and will make them more money.


Interesting owners I am not sure which way but here is a synopsis:

Khan - Probably going to Deano because of being screw out of the Rams but if the Rams leave, the STL market is open and he can move in.

Brown - I think was old guard but after watching John Oliver, the Bengals has some kind of 1st tier in contract with their sports authority where if 6 stadiums have some thing new, then the Sport Authority has to provide to the Bengals if they request it. Interesting.

Wilf - The new Minnesota stadium will have a Top Tier clause in it just like Stan does.

Irsay - Believe in owners right to move like he moved his Colts from Balt to Indy. Pro Stan?

Bidwell - Interesting one, if it is Bill voting he might go Stan due to his problem with STL. If it is son Mike voting, he may be partial to STL.

Kraft - Not sure about him. He has said some positive for STL but I read an article where he said that when he became owners it was the LA Rams and he remembers them being the Rams for as long as he can remember. If he goes Stan way, he might influence a lot of owners. I don't know his relationship with Goddell right now but if it has mended then it could be a Roger & Robert push.




What do you hear of feel about what owners would lean what way?

From what I read Brown has a long history of abstaining from almost all league votes.

Jason Cole tweeted the committee will recommend Carson. But I thought I read somewhere the committee wasn't going to make a recommendation? And Cole has been all over the map many times on this.

Same with "the Fish",, Vinny. flip floppers.

I don't know the owners mindset so it's a guess.

Just read Haslam isn't even at the meetings yet. He's in Cleveland working on hiring Hue Jackson. I imagine he'll get there for a vote tomorrow though.

His wife is voting for him. Paul Allen is there and he never comes to meetings. They want to vote today. It seems Rams-Chargers just do not know where they are playing. Carson or ING
