wherever the rams play, it’s gonna be a whole helluva lot of fun watching guys like gurley and donald develop over the years.

rams before the move were valued at 930 million in 2014. after this move they are now valued at 2.9 billion dollars. cowboys are first at 4.0 billion.

True. But this is Still Amerika.

In this land we brag about our conquests.
I would think the Kronk-atorium would
have a giant statue of a golden horn
up the ass of St.Louis.

And if you dont want that kind of statue
maybe you should just go back to
green bay or some other socialist country.

you are truly nefarious.

i’m not sure they were any better than they were last year. but i do believe the team is close to a breakthrough. of course i believed that last year as well.

i think i’m going to try and go to the first game at the coliseum. i just have to.

so i clicked on the website, and they got this video there. starts out with a deacon jones to aaron donald to eric dickerson to todd gurley montage.

i do wonder if they’ll have statues of rams legends.

ya know. like deacon jones, merlin olsen…

you’re right. i believe the chargers want a stadium in the gaslamp district which is right where the padres stadium is. lots of bars and restaurants. my guess is spanos feels it will make for a better fan experience and draw more crowds. san diego wants to build where the old stadium is which is more on the outskirts.

i don’t care so much.

i just don’t know that it would make much sense for spanos to move there.

it’d make much more sense for the raiders to move there but it doesn’t sound like the league really wants them there.

Portland Maine (where I does reside) is a kind of restaurant mecca. (I don’t know if you;ve heard that but it’s true). We have mexican, korean, ethiopian, jewish deli, japanese, thai, and chinese within a smaller radius.

I don’t think we have persian though. Just indian. No soul food.

I will say this though. They don’t do mexican right up here. They don’t seem to quite get it, OR they turn it into artsy nouveau variants.

One of the things I miss about living in southern cal is real honest mom and pop mexican.

Oh well.

ooh. i forgot salvadoran food as well.

the mom and pop shops here go for miles. it’s great. but yeah. i also understand la is not for everyone.

What?

No matter where you are in LA, you are within a mile of a drive through burger place, a shopping mall, and a cineplex. And drive time is less than an hour.

well if you’re talking about murder rate, st louis has los angeles beat. probably not true of west virginia.

he’s better off staying in san diego just to keep another team from moving in. he’ll then have the san diego market as well as part of the orange county market. he’d be dumb to move in with stan.

“I’ve been through that experience,” Fisher said. “It’s not an easy experience, but you can do things right. And you can make mistakes if you’re not careful. Stan and I have discussed this at length, even at the time he hired me four years ago, because I’ve been through that experience. So we have a pretty good idea of how to handle it.”

yeah. that’s what i thought. so kroenke’s been planning this for at least 4 years.

Sure enough, during the middle of the 1962 season, during contract negotiations with the Oakland Raiders, he blurted out, “Aw, hell, I’ll just play for nothing.” So they offered him nothing. And he accepted their offer. He played six games, living in the Long Beach area the entire time, joining the team every week just prior to kickoff, kicking the most inexpensive five field goals in the history of professional football.

wow. that’s pretty funny.

well look at what happened with FIFA. not just talking about kroenke but the nfl.

on the surface everything seems to be on the up and up. but who knows.
