I would not bet against him, and I certainly would not want him to be my opponent in a business deal. That relocation proposal was just ruthless and perfect.

I am, however, very happy he is the one determined to take our Rams home. Who knew back when he took over ownership that this would happen...well, I guess he did.

I don't think we'll ever know. But how things are turning out aren't what I think Kroenke planned when he took over ownership on the right of first refusal.

I feel strongly that he fully intended to make the Rams an international brand in St. Louis. That what he designed and planned in LA is akin to what he wanted in St. Louis. But St. Louis was too greedy for their own good and soured him on trying to make things work there.

I can't prove it, but from everything I've read over the last decade, that's what my gut is telling me.

You may be right - the denial of his three London games seems to be one of the starting points of the break between him and StL.

Thank you StL for being so shortsighted.

Actually, would you bet against Stan, Goodell, Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft ????

I wouldn't. For some reason, it makes me wonder if someone has put together a list of actual quotes from Kroenke/Rams about what's gone on over the years? There's so little, it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult for one so inclined but I bet if one were to just read what they actually said vs. what's been speculated on, it would paint a far different picture.

For so long, we've been dependent on what the local guys have been writing and as it turns out, it's been very unreliable. Ever since the LA guys and national writers have gotten involved, the narrative seems to be far different.
