LA is worth more to the NFL without a team than they are with a team.

If LA had a team there would probably be less than half the new stadiums there are, and thus most teams would be worth less money, thus the NFL wouldn't have the fat TV deals and huge ticket prices they do today.

The NFL is going to keep a team out of LA for as long as possible.

Yep, Goodell seems to be pushing London more than LA.

That does not seem to make any sense.

New Orleans.

Well, technically, New Orleans is below sea level, so it could never fall into the ocean, just be swallowed by it. L.A., on the other hand, sits close enough to the San Andreas Fault that thousands of people will one day die when "the big one" hits.

Who would be crazy enough to live below sea level or on a major fault, especially after being warned of the potential danger? Even the stock holders' investment wouldn't cloud this simple wisdom in the mind of a rich old man.

It does say the Mayor of L.A. "directly or indirectly" said he wanted the Panthers during the DNC.

I don't care. I just sent an email to the Panthers regarding the article. I hope JR comes out in the affirmative and cuts this off. I understand using it as leverage to get the money for upgrades, but we should be willing to do that regardless of L.A.

I would literally cry, possibly in the fetal position, if they took the Panthers away.

The threat of moving to LA is what allows most teams to threaten local and state governments into building them new stadiums.

A great deal of the value of NFL teams is tied into the value of the stadium.

Thus if the NFL had a team in LA, the NFL as a whole might not be the most valuable sports league on the planet, because most of the new stadiums around the league probably wouldn't have been built.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
