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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
