the only sport they deserve is the Mariners... and maybe a soccer team.


Well, this is easily the dumbest post in the thread. Seahawks fans are terrific. They also average like 33,000 for the Sounders (the MLS team), so they kill in fan support. They are a great sports town, but they got skullfricked by Clay Bennett.

The Rams should move back, they were there for 50 years before. Bring back the older unis too.

I just don't think it makes sense to have 49ers,Raiders,Chargers and a LA team. Too much Cali in the house.

Raiders/Chargers should be the team from a logistics stand point but Jacksonville has dug themselves into a pretty deep pit.

They retired the #12 in honor of the fans, but even more importantly, they just got a new stadium. Saying the Seahawks is almost as dumb as saying the Saints.

Jville is not going anywhere. Lookout for them to be a solid team in 2 yrs. I expect them to spend big thisa offseason with lots of cap space and possibly a new gm. Correction: hopefully a new gm.

Won't be the Jaguars. They're basically going to be London's team for the next 5 years

Do you live in LA?

Serious question because I know a lot of LA people that really don't want a team to move there. There are a lot of Cowboys/Eagles/Giants/Saints fans that currently get to see a lot of their team's games on TV and they don't want to lose that and have to watch a shitty Chargers game on TV instead.

People there are already upset about being designated a "secondary market" for the Chargers.

I don't really see LA as an NFL city honestly,it's more of a college football city. However the NFL is a money driven league and I don't think the money associated with being in LA could be passed up.

LA is more valuable as an extortion tool than an actual market. As long as there's no team in LA, teams can shake down their cities by threatening to move.

As far as whether an actual team moves, did the Vikings ever get a new stadium deal? A space jump roof ain't gonna cut it. If they move, they can switch divisions with the Rams....St. Louis/Green Bay/Chicago/Detroit makes for some good natural geographic rivalries.

Hopefully the raiders cause that stadium is a gangsters paradise but the Chargers will most likely move

Chargers aren't getting a new stadium it sad

I live out here and LA wants a team really bad.
