Bob McNair isn’t only thinking about the Texans’ future.

The team’s owner also has Los Angeles on his mind.

With the NFL scheduled to meet in Houston on Jan. 12-13 to vote on three teams potentially relocating to the country’s second-largest market, McNair discussed the futures of the St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders during an interview Monday with the Houston Chronicle.

“The purpose of this meeting is to hopefully make a decision on Los Angeles and that’s what we’re driving toward,” said McNair, who is a member of the NFL’s Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities. “We have three teams that are interested in moving to Los Angeles. Only two are going to be approved if any are approved.

“One of the teams would not be able to move if we approve two. So they’d have to stay in their home market. And one of our concerns is what level of support are they receiving in their home market? And if they’re receiving a reasonable amount of support, my personal feeling and most owners’ is we don’t think people should move.”

Who do you spose has the most support in their home cities, Oakland or StLou?

This stuff is pretty nerve wracking, but it's also a lot of fun.

We can all talk about and figure out the smart thing, the right thing, see through the rhetoric and smoke but even if we are the smart ones, even if we're 100% correct in our analysis, are the owners smart and rational?

Is Dean Spanos smart? Was Georgia?

Not all of the owners got where they are through being good businessmen.

Some of them got to be owners the old fashioned way: They inherited it...

Yeah,, the term "Idiot Son" comes to mind. Pretty off putting stuff.

Bob McNair cancels meeting with San Diego mayor (even though he’s not in jail)

Posted by Mike Florio on December 17, 2015, 1:21 PM EST

On Wednesday, Texans owner Bob McNair made some inflammatory remarks about San Diego politicians and their alleged habit of getting themselves incarcerated. The folks in San Diego understandably became upset about that.

Which in turn prompted McNair to cancel a meeting scheduled with San Diego’s mayor, which had been set for Thursday.

“It appears Mr. McNair has been provided grossly inaccurate and outdated information about San Diego,” a spokesman for Mayor Kevin Faulconer said in a statement, via the Associated Press. “The city has completely new leadership in the mayor’s office, city attorney’s office and city council, and has worked for nearly a decade to get our city back on track. Mr. McNair cancelled a meeting with the mayor scheduled for Thursday, so the mayor’s office has directly informed NFL management that his comments are not factually accurate.”

In recent remarks to the Houston Chronicle, McNair suggested that San Diego’s inability to work out a new stadium deal for the Chargers traces to the fact that so many of them have been placed behind bars.

“They’ve had all kinds of political problems there,” McNair said. “At one time, half the council went to jail or something. It’s been pretty bad. It’s hard to negotiate when you’ve got to go to the jail to negotiate.”

Yes, former Mayor Bob Filner had some legal issues. As did former Mayor Maureen O’Connor. And then there was a strip-club ordinance scandal that got some council members indicted a decade ago. But it’s safe to say that: (1) half of the San Diego City Council has never gone to jail; and (2) they weren’t conducting official City business from the yard.

If McNair’s broader goal was to sufficiently alienate the folks in San Diego that they won’t even try to engage with him on a last-ditch effort to keep the Chargers in town, he has succeeded. If the goal was factual accuracy, he didn’t.

Gee I wonder where McNair got his facts.

Please forgive me but no I didn't just now. The link I sent doesn't go back far enough. My bad.
Cant seem to find the link to 10-23-15 (hour 1 near the end). That one discusses the Fortune 500 companies in a focus group discussing NFL support per team. It overwhelmingly favored the Rams with zero support for the Raiders. Chargers weighed in fairly low too..
