They haven’t said anything. It is their actions that are speaking loudly at this point. I don’t think I need to go through the long list of actions. (getting out of the lease, buying land in LA, demanding almost a new facility to stay top-tier..etc….etc…). Yes, KD said it could get ugly, but there are negotiations, no threats, no movement, just speculation and actions that lead a lot of people to believe a move is underway behind the scenes. Not to mention, it seems as if the NFL is eager to get a team in the nation’s 2nd biggest market. MAYBE, this is a negotiation process, that is not in the public eye. Who really knows! I don’t. I just see actions that lead me to believe Stan wants to be in LA. Not to mention, locals like Randy Karraker and Bernie have long doubted a move would happen. Now, based upon information from sources, they’ve changed their tune. It turns out that Stan told Bernie back when he took control of the team, that he would not move. As if Stan’s word several years ago matters. Even Bernie said, things change, situations change and so do minds. I think the City/region/State will make him an offer. Will it be enough, that remains to be seen. The silence on both sides is deafening. Usually, the owner is claiming to want to stay or say he will ‘try’ and the other side is doing the same. In this strange case, nobody is speaking on either side, enough to truly tell what is happening behind the scenes. All I know, is that that supposedly good sources are saying word is, this Rams to LA thing is going to happen.
Yes, the Big Red threatening to move was no secret. However, the City and State could not get it together, nor could the group trying to keep the Cardinals here. When the right deal was not offered to Bidwell, he bolted. He won the ‘ I dare you” staring contest and the City was shocked he actually packed up and left. It was ugly, STL rolled the dice and we lost. Bidwell called our bluff. Typical STL politics. That is why I have no confidence in the local government saving the Rams.
Do you have a link to the conspiracy theory. I don’t mind that, but if anything, I’d want the Cardinals logo back, but that isn’t happening, so we might as well keep the Rams. I highly doubt they add ONE team. If anything two will be added. Seems like a pipedream to me, just as Rams to LA, Jags to STL talk is nothing more than that.
PS- Talking about our wonderful local politicians. Jay Nixon was front and center behind homeplate for the Royals game last night, wearing a blue Royals jacket. I know he depends on votes from both sides of the state, but everyone knows he is from STL and a Cards fan. Showing up in neutral clothing would have been enough. Sorry, but what a buffoon!!
