Here's a shock:

I picked a great year to become a Chiefs fan.

Thanks for moving that shit hole team Stan! Now I've got a real organization to cheer for.

I went to Lucas Oil for the Chiefs v Colts. Incredible stadium. It couldn't match the vibe at Arrowhead, but far more bells and whistles. Stunning.

Now that's just nasty and fucked up....the Coliseum or LA?? :lolol: Haven't thought once about having the Rams as the LA team. I have watched them on TV a couple of times (anemic O) and well into the games chuckled when I realized they were the LA Rams.

I was calling the Rams organization a shit hole.

I have no qualms with L.A., although I do hear the Coliseum is pretty shitty.

Whatever. It's water under the bridge. :cool:

L.A. has their awful team and organization back and I'm rooting for my childhood team. Driving 3 hours for a game sucks, but I'll trade the longer drive for a respectable organization. The game day experience put on by the two teams is night and day.

I was kidding.

Let's agree to send them out to sea and call them the Pacific Rams....or Sea Rams?...depending on where they drift? Or the Wavy Rams.....dunno, don't care.

Nice - id love to go to Arrowhead for a game - Cheifs are great at home...they're kicking ass a little more quietly this year....maybe this time they can win more than 1 playoff game? :noclue:


How bout those Vikings? they're probably gonna lose again this week vs the Cards...that's a bad matchup for them - they cant run the ball, and then the Cards are great against the pass....i dont see how they're gonna score much at all - so they're gonna need some defense to win it for them...


i'm rootin for the Titans the rest of the way in the AFC :rockon:

NY football (AFC) will be meaningless pretty quickly as the Jets have a tough schedule the first 6 weeks. The Giants will go 9-7 and miss the playoffs.

Not too promising either on my side KV
I was dead on with my Jets prediction and stoked that i might be wrong about the Giants. Big maybe though, not sold on them, every win lately they barely squeak by. 7-3 can be 9-7 with 3 divisional games left.

The whole god damn thing is going to be a failure unless one or both teams are really, really good. I reallllllly hope that if that happens it's the Chargers doing well, but I see a shiny new football palace with half empty stands in the future.

Fuck the NFL for allowing team relocation musical chairs to happen again. This bullshit is exactly why they implemented strict relocation bylaws in the 90s that they're not bothering to adhere to.

There's a reason ratings are down. Keep fucking over your die hards.

The Chargers and rams are very different situations...rams had a stadium built for them In 1995 that's still being paid for and demanded more the chargers have been in their stadium since 1967...one that was built for sdsu, the padres and the chargers...shitty parking, amenities, no suites, corporate seating of any kind.. completely out dated...the second oldest stadium in the NFL that hasn't been refurbished right behind oakland...the padres have since received a stadium built for baseball...while the city has fucked the bolts at every turn...the rams moved to la which cost the chargers their local game coverage in LA and OC counties which makes up a third of their home game ticket sales...the chargers had a stadium bill on the ballot that was gonna take taxes from the hotel industry tax on visitors...not a single tax dollar from a single citizen...and it was badly trounced...chargers owners hands are tied...even if the ballot measure had lost but had a solid vote he would have stayed and fought longer giving up their LA right which would have allowed another NFL team to LA to leech more fans from SD..his heart is fucking broken....the rams meanwhile straight fucked and lied to their fans...the chargers do not have a very large die hard fan pop...very fickle group...and if they are so diehard drive two fucking hours like I did for 15 years

LA your only true LA pro football team has returned! Rejoice

Dean spanos' hands are tied he made the only sensible decision he could have

Big blue mother fucking where was the special teams and offense???

Also, is Odell on the spectrum? Why is Eli talking about him not managing his feelings which caused all his drops? Someone will give the Giants a first round pick for him...

Why? They've been trying to get a stadium deal for 17 years...City shows zero sign of them ever getting one...Even after they gave the Padres a new stadium...It's the second oldest non upgraded stadium in the NFL (behind only Oakland who left in the 80's)..No suites, lost their LA TV market to the Rams...Their hands were tied...Hell the stadium vote that wouldn't take a single San Diego persons tax dollar lost by a landslide

San Diego is full of shitty, fickle, fair weather fans...My FIRST year as a season ticket holder I got tickets row 14 off the field at the 30 yard line on an aisle!...My pick of the entire stadium..Sure no prob... No waiting list...nothing..."sure, sit where ever you want" every single big game the season ticket holders around me..95% of them would sell their tickets..Fuck em...Drive to LA if you are die hard, I drove to SD from here for 15 years

If you care about the chargers at all this is the best thing for them...They don't have to self fund a stadium... They'll have suites for Corp tickets and will be on TV far more often..Even if the place is half full they'll be far better off.. :wiggle:

Of which, by your account, 95% sell them. Their attendance was dead last in the NFL last year (in the 8th largest market). This is going to flop. The only winner is Spanos by increasing his teams worth by being in LA. LA doesn't want them, at all.

I'm surprised that there will be 2 NFL teams in LA now. Aren't there already 2 or 3 other NFL teams in the state already? I know the population of California is large, but to support so many NFL teams?? Guess football is super popular there. :noclue:
