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).

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
