Jim Thomas
Monday, December 15, 2014

Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post Dispatch joins the show, chances dim for a move to Los Angeles for 2015, would be very sutprised if something happened to the Rams this off-season, the league wants to “control” the market and make it an orderly process, would like to get stadium situation solved, the league needs something concrete, Sam Bradford for next season, other options to acquire a new QB, if Bradford had been healthy this season, seems that Kroenke wants to move to Los Angeles, big relocation fee,Rams are not ready to give up on Sam Bradford yet, but not at his current contract.

JT starts at about 5:10

Same stuff Thomas has been saying for over a year. Hope he doesn’t poop his pants when the Rams announce in February they are moving.

Well, Grits, I wouldn’t sweat the process.

In January, the Rams are going to invoke their right to go year to year.

In February, the Rams are almost certainly going to propose the move to LA (forget the term) because if they don’t, they can’t even BE CONSIDERED.

Now, here’s the thing to remember about that move in February. It won’t mean the Rams are moving. It’s just another step in the legal process. It means that the Rams are putting in their ticket so as not to lose the ability to move.

The Rams could still stay and they could still move.

But those legal moves almost certainly WILL happen in January and February unless something blockbuster happens from the former A+B guy working on the Governor’s behalf on the parcel near the Stan Musial bridge. Now, if he’s got some knockout punch for all this, then that might interrupt this process, but short of that… it won’t.

That said, I’ll say it now. Those legal maneuvers do NOT constitute proof that a move is imminent. So, Grits, when they happen…and they almost certainly will… they’re just steps in the process.

Doesn’t mean the Rams are or aren’t moving. Just means those steps aren’t proof of anything. It’s clear now that’s the case and it will be clear then. I’m writing it now not to look prescient, but because it’s knowable now.

Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.
