Cosmic Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 As for the Bills news, it's noteworthy, but I don't think it's too huge a deal as it concerns LA. The Bills were almost certainly not going to move in the next 3-5 years anyways. Only if LA doesn't have two teams by then would they really be worth thinking about. And since this deal has a relatively affordable buyout after 7 years, that thought process doesn't change all that much now anyways.I don't think Buffalo's long-term future is clear, but I do think it's incredibly unlikely it ends up being in LA.I think the Bills were a dark horse candidate to be the "gone in the middle of the night" kind of relocation. Their lease was up at the end of next season. They have a 94 year-old owner whose health is deteriorating and whose kids don't want the team; when he dies, the team goes up for auction.

Island_Style Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The more Khan hangs out here, the more I think he doesn't care about St Louis like you all think he does. It is not like he was born there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 True. But he didn't choose where he was born. He chose to live in downstate Illinois. Even after he had enough money to live anywhere on the planet, he continued to choose to live in downstate Illinois. That speaks volumes about what he really likes. Wanting to keep an eye on his new investment doesn't negate that. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose the Rams, that is it for at least 30 years. St Louis is no LA. Besides, something drastic has to happen before we can consider. Worst year in franchise history and still had good attendance considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island_Style Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hell, the Jags are outdrawing the Rams this year. Yeah, I bet this gets Khan real excited to move the Jags there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 You won't get any argument from me - I've been saying for years that the Rams will be the next team to move. But why are you so concerned about Khan's loyalties? You've been saying all along that the lease absolutely prohibits even talk of a move. Feeling less secure these days?

Gothamite Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Just 2011? I've been saying the Rams should move longer than that.You obviously bear me some personal animus, for which I am sorry. I have never deliberately made this personal, I just think your market has yet to show on a continuous basis that it can support a football team. If that is somehow your basis for attacking me personally, then I can't help that. I never wanted any part of a personal feud. The " " means I'm teasing you, not insulting you.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 What exactly is it with the Rams? Is it just the bad stadium? St. Louis has always struck me as a top notch sports city, so I find it hard to believe that they're not being supported. Whats the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I can't speak to the specifics of St. Louis, but it's very possible to have a great baseball town (or football market, etc.) that won't support other sports the same way. Style, I am sorry. But I made one small jab at your position on an issue and you have responded with a series of unprovoked personal insults.I suggest that I stop posting directly to and about me, if you will reciprocate.
