Karraker revises: It was my opinion. On Rams moving. Bernie is saying don’t be too pessimistic on the show right now.

Sounds to me like much supposition but not much concrete in RK’s position. I’d say that anybody can come up with “I think” and “I believe” reasons the Rams will be back in LA but I’ll believe it when I see it. So, Go Rams!

Where do you want them to play?

strange cuz i listened to interview and said that he heard it for a fact. and now he’s saying, “i think.”

so was it his opinion that he heard somebody say it or is it the opinion of his source?

maybe bernie doesn’t want to lose listeners so quickly?

Bernie is only an occasional guest on 101 and isn’t associated with the station. His main thing is the Cards. He doesn’t lose or gain anything either way.

My guess? And it’s only that. That RK had 2nd thoughts about his sources.

Not trying to stir the shit but I would prefer the old LA Coliseum – I doubt that will happen. That was where I watched them as a kid. However, St Louis isn’t horrific for me – it’s actually driveable for me to see a game. I have no personal attachment to St Louis. But, I’m a Ram fan since I was a kid in LA so fate has forced that I endure wherever they may go.

sdRam, Rams are moving. Just take a look at the economics of the situation.

sdRam, where is building in St Louis? Come on, tell me where?

Lets look at a couple things here sdRam.

1. Least valued franchise in the league (Rams)
2. Makes the least money of any team in the league (Rams)
3. Purchased 60 acres of prime real estate at the Hollywood Park site, a site the league has coveted for years (Rams)

There are no land purchases in St Louis, St Louis still owes millions on the Edward Jones dome and the city and the CVC have already said they cannot do it.

Kroenke has the financial backing on his own to do this if he wants to go solo. I doubt very much he’ll have to.
Pretty sure he’ll get the corporate backing he needs.

There is nothing in St Louis that would be advantageous to Kroenke staying there.

This was from this past Tuesday when the LA Contingent visited the taping of Sports Nation (ESPN) at the Nokia Plaza downtown LA.

2015 NFL draft to be held in Chicago (April 30-May 2). I guess this means Rams aren't moving to LA. #sarcasm
