    I don't know why they keep talking about Minnesotta or New Orleans losing their football team to L.A. I mean, as one of the largest cities in America i'm sure they will definitely pass on the Saints for an expansion team and you can't take away the Vikings, the Pack and Vikings are one of the best rivalery matches of the NFL. I for one think the Rams should go back to L.A. That's where all there fans are anyway. And wouldn't it be better for L.A. to get an expansion team anyway?? They would get a new stadium, endorsments, what ever they do to help get the city money. I'm just pissed because they keep talking about taking my dam Saints away. I don't care if they can't get their shit together, i'm a die hard Saints fan and i'll do everything in my power to keep them here. Same for the Vikes, as much as i dislike them, i still would be really pissed off if they moved them to L.A.

    Jacksonville should move to LA... They're not getting much fan support, despite the fact that they've been winners almost every year they've been in the league.

    I can't stand the fact that the NFL thinks they have to be in LA. I hope to God they don't add another team, there is too many teams already. Look how well MLB and the NHL look now after expansion.....watered down league. I'm with you, it would really suck if the Vikes go, unfortunetly, Minneapolis tax payers don't seem to want to work to hard on a new stadium. I've been to countless games in the dome, both Twins and Vikes, and it sucks....bad

    Sucks is a nice way of putting it. I love going to games in stadiums, but the metrodome is not much of a fun place to go.

    If the Vikings get a stadium, they won't move. I can see why the NFL wants a team in LA...its the second biggest market available to them. New York is supporting two teams, there is no reason why LA shouldn't be able to have one. I'm in favor of moving the Rams back, but I don't think that will fly with rams fans.

    I agree, move jacksonville to LA, there definately is not a large enough market in FL to support 3 NFL franchises

    True. It may benefit them, but are any fans going to watch the games in L.A?

    I am being completely rhetorical, but why in the blue hell does the league want a team in L A?

    Seriously, Have those goobers in the league office learned nothing from other franchises trying to make L A their home?

    If they don't expand, I'll bet it's either the Vikes or Colts that move. I don't want any team there, I don't care how big the market is.

    Los Angeles is death for football. The fans don't care. The NFL just sees a city with 12 million people (or whatever) and sees dollar signs for television ratings.

    They should leave well enough alone... Or move Jacksonville. I don't care which.

    I have heard that the Colts have some type of deal in the works to stay in Indy.

    I'm not sure about Minnesota. I'll bet either the deals in Arizona or New Orleans falls through and one of those will be forced to move to LA.

    A few quick points...

    I don't want an NFL team in LA unless the RAIDERS come back. And the odds of that aren't worth figuring.

    As was pointed out by another post, I think that it was Beef, the less teams in the area, the more likely we get the games we want to see.

    LA's voters don't want to build a stadium either, that's why they keep pushing the old piece of crap next to USC. The Rose Bowl is in a beautiful arroyo, and the people there wouldn't put up with additional interuption. As it is now, you park on the golf course wehn you go to a game there. That, I suppose is better than paying someone to alow me to park on their lawn for $20.00

    The people of LA will supprot a winner, and a winner only. It's kinda a habit with us. Sucks though.

    The Rams were in LA from 1946 to 1980, and didn't leave Anaheim until 1994. That's a lot of years to not have any support as some have said. I saw the Rams in LA. Don't blame the fans, blame the bitch running (ruining) the team. [​IMG]

    The ratings may not be better with all of us (in the LA market) watching teams from out of town, but we enjoy it more.
