The Second Team In
PostPosted:9 years 5 months ago
Interesting stuff going on here.
Kroenke and the Rams are doing everything they can to establish themselves as quickly as possible in L.A. while also saying how much they welcome a 2nd team. And of course they have to, that's the deal they made.
But are the Rams speaking with their actions, telling the Chargers and Raiders they're already too late and too far behind?
Spanos seems to be an incompetent failure. He balked at Farmers' and how he's apparently balking at Inglewood.
Obviously it would be great for the Rams to be the only team but if another team is coming, i'd much rather The Chargers than the Raiders. We sell them short but the Raiders have huge following in L.A. When the Rams were in Anaheim and the Raiders were at The Coliseum, they were the dominant team in L.A. They got more media coverage and they had more fans in the sports bars. No doubt it would be different with the Rams in L.A. proper this time but the Raiders are a force to be reckoned with here and i'd rather the Rams not reckon with it.
So ideally, the Raiders will make a deal in Oakland or somewhere else while the Chargers are still on the clock and then the Chargers will stay in SD.
But if someone is coming, i want it to be the Chargers...
