This all makes sense. Alex Spanos is not long for the world. He's 87, his kids will soon inherit the team. They are looking at a HUGE inheritance tax. They need a partner.

LA is calling:

Anyone who thinks Los Angeles isn't interested in Pro Football has no idea about the venue the Rams played in before moving to St. Louis.

I remember the Rams. The Raiders too.

I also remember why they both left.

Rams played in the Big A, a compromised/poor excuse for a home baseball stadium.

The Raiders, well Al thought he could blackmail Oakland into building him a new stadium. Still hasn't worked 30 years later.

The Raiders played in the Rams old venue, the LA Coliseum.

This was a shithole built for the 1932 Olympic games. A horrible venue in an area you would never hope to have your car stall in.

Los Angeles has never had a Pro Football stadium, to think otherwise is ignorant.

I'm not sure I buy the notion that a sub-standard stadium is the big reason for a lack of fan support in Los Angeles.

More than one writer has pointed out that it's just not a city that's passionate about pro football. They've got the Lakers, they've got got USC and they've got probably a million other things to do more than any other city in the U.S. It just hasn't been a good venue for pro football in a couple of decades.

Maybe it can be again, but I have my doubts (and I'm not the only one).

      Who do you despise more… LaMelo Ball or Bryce Young

      By Lurk21 · Posted

      Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west.

      Well he somehow had 12 preseason carries for not playing. He also has 20 carries in the regular season, not three. He has actually played in about 7% of the offensive snaps for this regular season(33% of the special teams snaps). This isn't stuff you have to make up, these are very easily referenced statistics, man.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
