    St. Louis got screwed over. The city put up the money and approved a new stadium (which neither Oakland or San Diego did) and ended up losing their team.

    I feel sorry for the St. Louis Rams fans, players, employees, etc. The Rams are St. Louis to me. California has enough teams. I honestly think the Raiders should've been the team to move. Would've loved to see the LA Raiders back like they were when I was a kid. Hoping San Diego stays put. No city should have two teams imo.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they move from LA to St. Louis?

    Yea I think they moved in the 80s. But my entire life since I started watching football they were in St Louis. Raiders moved from LA to Oakland in the mid-90s. Obviously staying in the same state but changing cities isn't as big of a move though.

    There's gonna be a honeymoon phase for sure but i dont see it being much different. LA is all about the Lakers and Dodgers.

    EDIT: Holy f--- they just said the LA stadium won't be done until 2019. So the Rams have to play three whole seasons at a temporary college site? That's stupid as f---. I could understand one season but not three. Might as well have kept all teams put until LA was ready for this s---.

    Vikes were in a temp college stadium for 2 years and it went just fine, doubt it'll be an issue.

    That is what happens when the owner Sabatoges the NFL Team. You don't think we cared about the greatest show on turf?

    Obviously you guys cared, it's the biggest sports league in the country. I was just saying it's not fair to say LA is all about the Lakers/Dodgers when it's the same scenario in STL. imo it should've been SD to move to LA, but the Rams came with the better plan

    On a more positive note: I hope the Rams switch back to the old LA Rams blue and yellow uniforms. It would only be right.

    I'm pissed Rams are leaving. St. Louis was the one game every year I was guaranteed to be within driving distance.
