That was a joke. JT had said that on STL radio this morning. It's BS.

Allbright: '99.999 Percent Chance' Rams Leave St. Louis
Brendan Marks posted on August 18, 2015 09:35
NFL reporter Benjamin Allbright on Monday tweeted it's all but a done deal the St. Louis Rams will relocate to Los Angeles.



Allbright joined The Ryan Kelley Morning After on Tuesday to discuss Allbright's tweet and the latest he's hearing on the future of the Rams.

We typed up some notable excerpts from the interview, which you can listen to by clicking the player below.

What do you base your comments that it's a near certainty the Rams leave St. Louis on?

“Based on conversations I’ve had with these sources. These are first-hand accounts of what's going on with the plans here, what they want to do with the NFL and this franchise, the markets they want to tap into and how they want to do it. It looks like if I was a wagering man, I would say the St. Louis Rams will be the LA Rams playing in a new LA stadium in 2017. I don't think their permanent stadium would be built until that time based on what I know.”

More on what he's hearing:

“Based on what I’m hearing now…I think the Rams will be the only team in LA when this all shakes out."

Why would the owners' support of the Chargers Carson plan have eroded?

"The Chargers plan...has not bee as detailed and thorough as the plans Kroenke has presented. The (Dean Spanoa family) initially had most of the support. And now they're down to about nine owners."

What part of the Carson plan has eroded the support for the Chargers?

"The plans they put in place....the numbers aren’t the same numbers (Rams owner Stan) Kroenke’s projecting for his plan."

So you think the Rams will be left without a team?

“I think you’ll be left without an NFL team, at least in the interim, unfortunately.”

What about the Chargers and Raiders?

“Qualcomm is in significant disrepair. They both need new stadiums. They were using Los Angeles as leverage to get new stadiums…and now I think they’ll try to use San Antonio. One of the things I discovered with this is Mark Davis' wishy-washy attitude with his team.”

On Mark Davis being “wishy washy”:

"Mark Davis…at one point agreed to sell the Raiders on a Friday night, but then changed his mind by Saturday morning. (That ownership group) were looking to relocate the team to San Antonio."

So you think it’s pretty much a done deal the Rams leave?

“The door’s not completely, completely shut. My source says it’s 99.9 percent the Rams leave. Kroenke is willing to listen if everyone gets everything confirmed. But he wants it all done and in writing before he’s even willing to sit down. The wouldn’t say the door is shut, but it’s only a crack.”

What about the potential for the NFL to vote against Kroenke’s move?

“I think that potential would be very, very low. The only thing I think scares of some of these owners…is maybe elevating Kroenke’s power level. That maybe has a few people reticent of (showing Kroenke’s project support)."
