It's bad when Jason Cole and Scott Reid, two pro Carson/St. Louis homers have turned their backs on you.

Yeah, no kidding. Either they've changed sources or their sources have changed their tunes...

It just proves that Cole doesn't have any credibility when it comes to NFL to LA information. Just a few days ago, he replied to A STL fan telling he doesn't think he has anything to worry about because he thinks the Rams are going to stay in STL. A few days later after the Rams relocation report comes out and after there's reports that other owners don't think STL's stadium plan is viable, he changes his tune. I'm glad he finally pulled his head out of his ass, but anyone that's been paying attention knew the Rams weren't using LA just for leverage and we knew that the NFL/Grubman didn't think STL's stadium plan was viable.

Hopefully Cole gets his info from the Chargers 'cause if he's changed his tune, that means they've changed theirs...

Daniel Kaplan is up next.

Kevin Acee was on SD radio today and he said it's going to be the Chargers and Rams and he thinks a deal has already been made.

I've said it before, I think this might be a conspiracy theory and the whole Inglewood VS Carson and Stan vs Dean thing was all bs.

That dinner they had that supppodely Stan back stabbed Dean is bs IMO.

Stan and Dean wanted LA, they both made a deal a couple of years ago. Stan says I could relocate if I want and Dean goes like " well I have to move" 25% in LA and the Rams are forcing me to move.

Both sides don't have enough votes, so the only thing to do is join forces.

I'm telling y'all man this whole game is just for PR so the NFL could relocate 2 teams and minimize the PR backlash.

This whole thing seems odd. If both move to LA the news cycle will be Chargers, Rams, LA, Playoffs, STL, SD, OAK, Raiders, Carson, Inglewood. They mush all it together and the league pull 2 teams out of 2 markets and gets LA and STL would complain SD would complain but all the other news going on and how all this happend. 2 weeks later. Everyone would forget STL and SD and forget this whole thing.

2 teams would be in LA and that will be that. And if they could figure out a way to help OAK then mission accomplished.

Yup. That's how these things generally work.

I just don't see why they would have had to go through this dog and pony show if they were secretly aligned.
I can't imagine they went thru all this to shake Oakland off the branch

I agree with this. A ton of money was spent. Fans in San Diego trashed. Fans in StL and LA pitted against one another dividing the fan base. Raiders fans hopes up in LA and dashed in Oakland, prominent men putting their name on it,, ets.

It has that appearance because Carson is a big bag of gas but I have my doubts that this isn't pretty close to what it has appeared and Spanos is simply losing.

So in essence.,the reason the Rams get to come back is because of LA Raiders fans? I can see Coles point about the cash strapped ownership, but c'mon..
