The Rams report wasn't leaked. The STL media (I think it was David Hunn) demanded that the Rams report be released to the public. I'm sure the Raiders and Chargers report will be released before the meeting.

I heard the Rams openly distributed it to whomever wanted it.

STL people wanted it released. The STL media were saying that the Rams (and the other teams) are required to make it avail. After it was released, STL fans on twitter were congrad. David Hunn for putting pressure on getting the Rams report.

Don't have the link but it seems the peacock rebuttal is a video that a St. Louis news channel put on their website.

Peacock had some comments about the Rams report. I don't recall and at this point, I don't really care what he had to say. The STL stadium plan isn't viable and It doesn't matter what he has to say about the subject.

He will only hurt STL chances of getting another team if he bashes Kroenke. Bad move.

Exactly. Gracefully bow out but show all the reasons why your city deserves consideration for another franchise down the road. Don't go down bitter and vengeful.

I haven't read it yet and probably won't, but for those that are interested, here it is.

Task Force blasts back at Kroenke

David Hunn

ST. LOUIS • Gov. Jay Nixon’s riverfront stadium task force long expected owner Stan Kroenke to file with the National Football League to move his St. Louis Rams to Los Angeles.

But the content of that application, the task force said in a five-page response sent to the league and every NFL owner, surprised the co-chairmen.

“We were not prepared,” they wrote in the letter released on Friday, “for the cruel attack and false claims made by our local team owner to his League peers, in an attempt to punish and embarrass St. Louis — a city whose residents and businesses have loyally supported the Rams for more than two decades.”

The task force’s letter digs into the data Kroenke used to justify his request to move, and denies nearly every major point the billionaire real estate developer leveled at St. Louis, from inadequate riverfront stadium cash flows to Kroenke’s community engagement to his claim that the region can’t support three professional sports teams.

Moreover, the letter says, Kroenke’s “style” was “unprecedented, personal, groundless and unbecoming of a steward representing what we feel is the greatest professional sports league in the world.”

Representatives from the NFL confirmed on Friday receipt of the letter, but declined to comment. A Rams executive could not immediately be reached.

Kroenke’s relocation application, released Tuesday following a request from the Post-Dispatch, ignited latent anger in football fans and officials across the region. County Executive Steve Stenger called Kroenke’s proposal “demonstrably preposterous.” Nixon scoffed that the region couldn’t support three teams. Mayor Francis Slay said Kroenke has long been “absent and unavailable.”

Media and fans alike began picking apart the application's claims.

But the letter the task force emailed to the league and owners Thursday night is the first formal, point-by-point response to Kroenke’s proposal.

Haha so desperate and bitter sounding. I like how they try and breakdown the shitty attendance by crapping all over the franchise. They make it sound like they didn't spend to the cap or even try to field a competitive team. Also, anyone ever think maybe the big FA's don't want to go to STL? I know that's a stretch to everyone outside of STL, but why would anyone in the prime of their career choose a so so market over with a whatever fan base? There's no juice in STL as a football team. I don't know what it is, but I noticed it in 2005. If the team wasn't lighting up the league, they don't give a shit like other fan bases IMO. I don't see any other fan base ready to ditch the team for the year if they start 1-2 or 2-3. These bitches are so weak minded and have a victim complex IMO. Second rate town with a second rate stadium plan that is as corrupt as anything I've ever seen.

I think Ray Hartmann was on point on this topic.

He said the Rams were very angry with the Task Force and STL media. The Rams told Peacock and company that there was no way the Rams were staying, but Peacock pushed back. He may have even used the Rams to help him build his plan even though he was told not to. Then Peacock was slamming Kroenke at the owners meetings.

They caused Kroenke a lot of problems and money, so Kroenke pulled out all the stops, threw them under the bus, to make it clear to everyone STL was a losing situation.

Task force needs to go away. Go cry and play victim, blame Kroenke and the NFL. You all got paid. You knew the stadium would never be built, now don't act surprised Kroenke told you to f off.

[Hacksaw]

The NFL didn't accept poppyCocks stadium plan, why would they accept his vitriolic tantrum. That weasel has been the target on my dart board since the task force was created. Watching him fail gives me great joy.
Even if Carson is approved,, he still failed.
