All Los Angeles needs for a packed NFL Stadium every Sunday is a decent venue.

The Dodgers? 4 million attendnace per year whether they are good or suck.

The Lakers? You can't get a seat.

The Angels? 3 million plus per year.

Even the Clippers play to 16.5k per night.

The Ducks and Kings play to 16.5 k per night.

Los Angeles fans come out in droves, when the Chargers are there in a new stadium they will be no different.

I can offer up a little info on LA fans. Not sure if anyone else is from out here but I am. Most people in LA don't want to get attached to a loser. I'm a diehard Laker and Dodger fan. When the Lakers are in the playoffs you can't drive without seeing numerous Laker flags on cars. During the regular season you can't find a person to have an intelligent sports conversation with because they don't care. Dodgers fans are the same way. Real fans are few and far between. But can you blame them?

We have USC, UCLA, Kings, Ducks, Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, and Angels. Close enough are the Chargers and the Raiders. With the huge Latino population in LA and the gang association, the Raiders are very popular due to their culture and their colors.

Not a big sports fan? No problem. There are movie premiers, fashion shows, clubs, etc that people can find more interesting. I went to the Lakers game the other night and I lost count of how many celebrities I saw. It's not about being a fan, it's about the social aspect of sports.

As a sports fan I would love to see the NFL here again, as a person with common sense I don't think it will work out unless they had a bonafide superstar every year on the team.

Which isn't easy in the NFL.

I agree. Some people will wear Kobe jerseys in LA but not know what position he plays, or who the Lakers played the night before, etc. The Dodgers were extremely popular when Manny was in town, even though he was terrible when he got off the juice/women's hormones. I don't know what it's like in other cities because I think LA is really unique in the amount of teams and the amount of other things to do but it has to be better than some of the fans we have here.

Until somebody actually says "We Are Moving To LA" I'm tired of hearing about it.

L.A has been nothing but a bargaining chip for failing franchises to extort concessions from there current cities.

& Every money bag prick out there has said he/she wants a team in L.A.

In the end I think it will happen and those whiny bitches out there in SO CAL will support it at least at first. They will have No reason not too, other then the City Of Industry being a complete sh*t hole, new digs will certainly bring in the cash for the team to have the "Opportunity" to build a quality team.

But if you get a ownership group that just wants to get fat of the L.A money and not make sound football decisions or pump it back into the team it wont be long before that stadium sits empty and if you think otherwise your an idiot. L.A's social elite won't want to be "SEEN" at a 3-13 football team.

Manny has sucked for 2 years. He only played well the year he was traded mid season.

I would judge Dodger fans by attendance the last 2 years, 4 million per. As far as Laker banners once the Playoffs start I agree.

But, the NBA regular season is a joke. It's foreplay only to see where you seed in the Playoffs.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
