Even if they do belong in L.A., St. ouis has been a great home for a long time. Plus, I think I speak for Ram fans throughout the midwest when I say having a slight chance to watch a Ram game over the Bears game is alot batter than not having any good football to watch.

To me they are a college town that love USC and UCLA. And they would support them rather then a NFL team. LA already had two team that moved away.

And whose idea was it to sign that Venus Flytrap of a lease agreement in the first place? A job performance review might be in order in that particular case. And now, in the center ring, another ex-player leading the charge to con a city out of millions of dollars which could otherwise be spent on insignificant things like better schools, or health care for the poor/elderly, or any number of vital social programs, or even infrastructure improvements. Who cares about issues like that when NFL teams need shiny new stadiums to play in instead of twenty year old shacks which should obviously be condemned before falling down. By the way, I need a slick new building for my own business. A beautiful new building would promote tourism, which would benefit local hotels and restaurants and other local businesses in the service/entertainment industries. It would also increase my own customer traffic, which would bring in more money and allow me to pay more taxes. Think the city might be willing to cough up a few measly million to help me out?
