STL FANATIC Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 I suppose LA could have two teams, but I just don't see that happening right away. Further, LA is stilly plenty far away from actually having a stadium to host a team.As for Toronto, how negative would the impact be on the Bills if another team swoops into that market?

Gothamite Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Los Angeles Rams sounds a lot better the the Saint Louis Rams.I hope Steven Spielberg buys the team and moves the Rams back to Hollywood!!How much money does he have?Well, with a lifetime box office gross of $3,765,045,385, even at a single point, figure he's made a lot of money. Plus residuals and all the ancillary stuff. In 2007 his net worth was valued at $3.1 billion. Undoubtedly he's taken a hit since then, but still, earning somewhere above $275M a year (including $30M he gets in "consulting fees" from Universal Theme Parks for his input), he still has enough money to get this deal done. If he had the slightest interest in football, of which I've never seen any indication. Maybe his pride as an Angelino could be enough? Or the prospect of joining an exclusive club, and accessing that revenue stream (the knock on him since Day One is that he's more interested in making money than making art, the anti-Coppola)?Maybe Max likes football.

Gothamite Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Francis owns a vinyard because, reportedly, he loves making wine. I don't know that it's ever been very profitable (or, as noted, very good). I'm not suggesting that Spielberg is incapable of making art, just that the knock on him has always been that he's more interested in making money. Interesting that his films gained a lot more artistic success after he hired Janusz Kamiński to shoot them.Heck, you can go father - the irony is that Coppola has had to take plenty of what can only be described as paycheck jobs because he needed the money. The revolution of the 1970s has come down to this: the man who loved art scambles for money, and the man who loved money can afford to make art. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
