Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

This is the spiel this morning on 101ESPN in St Louis by Bernie M. He is saying yeah, it wqas a rigged process just so Stan get an "oilwell of money"....Sure, Kroenke wants his franchise to be worth more. He wants his team to be the class of the NFL. It seems to me as Stan gets up there in age, this is more of a legacy issue. He wanted to be the "guy" that brought the NFL back to LA after 20 + years. He wanted his team to play in the best stadium in the World. Stan is getting old, and father time is tracking him down...and father time never loses. Stan may die tomorrow, but he knows that what he has done, is something no one has ever done (at least on the scale in which he did it).

It's the Legacy, not the Cash Bernie.

Stan is only 68, he's got plenty of time left to see his vision play out for many years.

He's still got to raise a Lombardi trophy as owner of the Los Angeles Rams.

Now, that's an image I can't wait to see, and to share with my children.

wut?
Moses Malone - died at 60 yrs


PS: After age 60, it's presumptuous to think you have forever. My Dad died at age 65..My Grandpa died at age 63...On the otherhand, my maternal Grandma died at age 92, and my Mom is still alive at 75 yrs. Which side of the genetic ledger will I fall? Like my Dad, I will see the age that my father died as a milestone, as I remember him commenting about it.

I'm 63. Don't jinx me.

Hey at least we lived long enough to see the Rams back in LA... Now we just need to stick around long enough to actually see them play.

Oh, and of course it was about the money. And a bit of being the NFL guy. Sure looked like the owners were happy to have ESK driving the LA limo.

Yes he does along with Head Coach David Shaw!

Listening to Stan when he was on the podium he said this all started in 2002. The RSA and CVC were giving the team a hard time even then and I'm guessing he knew which way the wind was blowing then. The league office encouraged him in the planning for LA. Other owners encouraged Stan to do LA big. Rams move to LA and this big new "NFL West" is going to make all of them money and up the status of the NFL as a whole.

I plan on sticking around for as long as my mother who is 30 years older than me and still sharp as a tack. So I expect to see quite a few Rams SBs in LA.
