If we are going to play the name game, what would your next fantasy Kroenke consultant counter name be?.

Shoot, if you want to drop a ridiculous bomb on everything . . . I'd call for Stan to announce that he's retained a super global mega-corp, with tons of experience in sports and entertainment venues, including tons of LA experience. . . AEG.

But seriously, those other people need consultants. I get the feeling that for the vast majority of everything, Stan (and/or his inner circle) is his own consultant -- quite successfully, I might add.

LMAO

Now wouldn't that stir the proverbial pot.

I think you might have earned your $1.

I don't know how much "strategic direction and leadership" you can buy for a dollar. I'm guessing not much.

Too funny.

Whats in it for Iger if its a ruse?

And if his involvement soothes the fears of other owners, it aint good

[OldSchool]

Also I find this announcements timing to be in very bad taste. San Diego is going before the owners today to present their stadium idea and Spanos does this? Can you magi me the crying that would happen if Kroenke were to put out a big announcement like this today? They'd invent new four letter words to describe him.

I don't think much about bad taste when it comes to a business deal. Who cares/

Spanos is looking to win and he is pulling out all the stops that he can. Don't blame him for that.

He wants out of SD now, and he's looking to win on his terms in LA.

If the Chargers end up in LA in Carson, then my hats off to Spanos for pulling it off. I'm not gonna be a guy on the board taking shots at him.

On local news we have this story about Iger. Getting full press.
Raiders and Chargers games are televised in LA.
Then all the leaks by Fabiani.
The public is being spoon fed the Charaiders. And what better to minimize the Inglewood "NFL Disneyland" then to have the other option hire the CEO of Disneyland?
Sure hope we haven't been looking at this thing through a skewed filter !

When GF passed and ESK bought the team a year or so later, you could see ESK's actions pointed to LA. Has he been planning this that long? First on the side and after arbitration on the front burner?
This Ram fan called it but had no idea that the Spanos would pitch such a bitch.

One thing that doesn't add up is the 2 teams coming together in the same stadium, division realignment, stretched finances and the Chargers becoming invisible to the Raiders in LA. WTF is he trying to do? Commit franchise suicide?

My dog has more info on NFL relocation than the local news. But yes, Fabio (prob next game changer they hire) does a good job at getting his point across through media. When it comes to shoveling dirt or actual real news, nothing. But his propaganda game has been strong from the get go. Like the Riverfront joke proposal, this stadium will never get built. When push comes to shove, these two broke as joke owners (relative to the rest of the NFL) will not pony up a billion a pop for a stadium or the massive relocation fees when they can't put together two coins for a stadium in their own back yards. Plus Carson is a joke and the Faiders and Chargers aren't very marketable because most of LA outside of the fake biker tough guy crowd consider the Raiders a black eye and the Chargers are just a crappy team and organization with zero LA roots.

That's a good question.

His time at Disney is over either way so he's not really giving anything up.

And Fred was speculation Iger may have the option to buy part of either Raiders or Chargers regardless of whether Carson is a go. It would make sense, but that doesn't mean it's true...

[The Ripper]

It all sounds god but it's extremely problematic for the NFL if there would ever be an antitrust suit. Carmen Policy was just a spokesman but with Iger it's more of a joint venture between the teams which is an antitrust violation since you can't have a joint venture inside of a joint venture.

Yes, he can buy into either team and that's a big issue.

ha ha ,, agreed, but the only news is from the Charaiders.
We all know ESK is quiet so none expected plus he's a world away in MO, but the Rams are part of this story. Just never any new news regarding rams...
