David Hunn Talks Rams Leaving, Says Peacock Won't Lead Another Stadium Effort

Brendan Marks posted on January 13, 2016 09:37

David Hunn of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch spent more than a year covering and reporting on the Los Angeles relocation saga.

He was in Houston Tuesday when the NFL approved and announced the Rams' relocation to Los Angeles.

Hunn, whose report on STLToday.com can be read here, joined The Ryan Kelley Morning After on Wednesday to discuss the Rams leaving and the possibility of St. Louis getting another NFL team.

We typed up some notable excerpts and included some paraphrased tweets from the interview, which you can listen to in full below:

How did it go from the committee reccomending Carson 5-1, to Inglewood getting a 30-2 vote?

"I have no idea. I asked that very question in the press conference...Bob McNair got up to answer...and I cannot tell you what he said. It was one of those answers that didn't answer. I tried to follow up...and even then he didn't really answer. It was a frustrating moment for me. I still don't know."

What's your gut feeling on what happened?

"I do think the reason is probably pretty straightforward. They weren't going to get the deal done. It wasn't going to happen otherwise. I didn't know...how much the other owners liked Kroenke's plan. I talked to some insiders after the meetings ended...and they said the ownership came in just enthralled by the majesty of Kroenke's Inglewood plan. And that's what won them over. The LA Committee, who's dug into this for a year, made the recommendation for the Carson plan...and it didn't matter."

On how it looks like St. Louis' efforts were a charade by the NFL:

"That's exactly what (Task Force co-chair Dave Peacock) said last night. He basically said they kept moving the goal lines. I've never seen Dave Peacock so frustrated as he was last night."

What do you think St. Louis' next play is?

"I hate to see it, but I don't think there is (a next play). I don't think there is a play right now for another team. Peacock said last night he doesn't see any expansion happening now and he doesn't see any team moving right away."

"Somebody asked Peacock if he would do it again, if there was a decent chance to a get a team, would he head it up again. He basically said, 'No, no I'm not doing that. Not with what I've seen.'"
