It was most certainly one of the whistle-stops on Bill Bidwill's 1987 "Whore In A Bow Tie" tour, but there was never any affirmative step toward relocating the franchise there. Bidwill made the rounds in Baltimore, Birmingham, Columbus, Jacksonville, Oakland and Phoenix. I do think it's fair to state that Columbus lobbied the hardest but it was a fairly foregone conclusion that Phoenix was #1 on Bidwill's list. Columbus's lone saving grace was the hope that the well established (for nearly 6 years) and apparently fully-funded Phoenix Firebirds group (led in part by former GB quarterback Bart Starr) would be awarded an expansion franchise, thus removing Phoenix from Bidwill's list of pick cities. However, the league chose not to add a single expansion team and thus the only hope Columbus had of landing an NFL franchise vaporized. Quite honestly, I think Columbus was never under serious consideration by the Cardinals. Had the Firebirds been admitted as the league's 29th team I'm pretty sure Bidwill would have moved the Cardinals to Baltimore and stirred up a :censored:storm with Jack Kent Cooke.

Gothamite Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Or that the St Louis Cardinals almost ended up in Columbus instead of Arizona?"Almost" is putting it rather generously.Yeah, according to a quick Google News search, they went from "The owner of the NFL's St. Louis Cardinals will discuss moving his team to Columbus" to "The owner of the NFL St. Louis Cardinals told a delegation from Columbus, Ohio, that he would not move his team there" in under three weeks.

robbman21 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 On a quick note of the Browns/Ravens, is there anyone else who recalls Vinny Testaverde's comments to an ESPN correspondent that the recently-moved Browns were going to be known as the "Stallions"? It was shown on a SportsCenter segment about the team's move, and I think it was shown after the Super Bowl had been played that year. I remember talking to a friend of mine about it on the phone that night as well, but never seen it mentioned here. And that feaux Hound Dogs' "M" is the font "Air Millhouse Itallic", and it is the same as what Mtn Dew uses on their packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in a sense, there was a pocket of local journalists and boosters making the claim that 1995 marked the "return" of the Rams to their "original" home. And, come to think of it, "Gunners" would certainly be a time and market accurate brand for an NFL franchise playing in the literal and figurative shadow of the region's Ground Zero for firearms-based crimes.Me, bitter because my car was broken into and looted right outside the Ed Jones Dome?

Buster Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I could actually see the Rams moving back to LA, St. Louis Stallions replacing the Rams. Toronto getting a franchise (or have the Bills relocating from Buffalo)named the Rhinos.I don't think the Rams will ever move back to LA. At least, I sure hope not.I could see the Raiders going back. They play in a dump and have senile owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was walking, saying that they were going to be called "Stallions" or "Mustangs." I always thought it was a trial balloon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Billy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Only in St Louis. I'm confident one of the two LA plans will go through, as confident as I am that St Louis will not be able to build them a new stadium.But the Rams cannot move before 2015.One of those plans will go through before than and Jacksonville or Oakland or some other team will move to LA before St. Louis gets a chance to.

So's San Diego, the other most likely candidate. Los Angeles will be needing an NFL team as well, to maintain a balance in the television packages, and so the Rams will be joining the Jaguars or Raiders or Chargers in their new stadium in 2015.
