Maybe Ralph's doing us a favor. He's keeping the value of the team down so the locals can afford it, and making sure that nobody but us idiots would want the Bills.

Yes, but it was quashed. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Chargers-to-stay-in-San-Diego-next-season.html Next year this time, who knows.

Yesterday the LA Times was talking about the Oakland Raiders moving back to Los Angeles. While by no means a "sure thing" the article's headline says:
Owner Mark Davis says the organization has had conversations with L.A. stadium groups and is not ruling out relocating back to the city if the team can't secure a new stadium in Northern California.

And the body says:
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said there will be no relocations to Los Angeles in 2012, but he hasn't ruled out one after that.

Of course, I'm sure what's happening here is that Davis undoubtedly wants either Oakland or LA to cough up hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and build a new stadium for him. Which, given the economic climate in California (3rd in the nation in the foreclosure rate!), will be a cold day in hell before that happens. Especially since the whispers are growing louder that the Raiders and 49ers should just share a stadium.

Especially since the whispers are growing louder that the Raiders and 49ers should just share a stadium.

Like the Jets and the Giants, who now both play in a privately funded stadium that adapts to the home team. It's interesting how many stadiums in the New York area, including the new Yankee stadium, went from government-owned facility to team-owned.

LA: Relocation - keep in mind
teams like St.Louis, BUF, Jax, and
just odd ball teams, like tenn/carolina
or Minn, or simpy just awarding a TEAM to LA,
(and NFC WEST) in "efforts" to add competition to the league.
(referring to sea 7-9) and to avoid that occuring again..


yes, BIG-A:
that is awesome that NY.metro teams
have shifted to team owned stadiums!
