Since nearly 30% of NFL fans range from ages 18-34 it’s hard to understand why we are SO naive of its’ economics. I would blame technology and video games. That isn’t the case when applied to those under the age of 30 who follow football in LA though. They are fortunate enough to “have easily 10times the amount to thing to… money” for they’re edjukashun. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 25 insufficient years on earth it’s that age, above all, divides the fools from the brains. Besides in LA.

Guess what Mr. Loyal fan; ANYBODY can love their home team when it is “WINNING”. Fans come out of the WOODWORK when a team starts out 5-0 let alone makes the playoffs, most of which are the TRUE die-hard supporters unlike all the two-faced fair weather type that cheer their team no matter what. Last year my favorite team was the Giants. The year before that, the Packers. I was a HUGE Saints fan in twenty ten. If it were up to me I would put the Patriots (tied for most Superbowl wins) in LA and abolish the salary cap. Then they could buy up ALL of the most expensive, err, I mean best players and win the Superbowl every year, (If sports history has taught us anything it’s that the team with the most money and most superstars wins every championship.) If that didn’t work I’d just start my own league in LA and only allow LA “WINNERS” in it that way LA would win every game.

LA deserves a team as much as any city in the country and sooner or later it will get it when you and everyone else on this blog make the decision to get it. If only Leiweke and the NFL commission would just listen to you! All these other pesky teams/fans in bad television markets should just shut up and roll over when it comes to losing something they’ve probably worshiped every Sunday for half their lives, or even (God forbid) whole lives in the case of us childish young bucks.

I cant wait for 5 more years to pass so I can finally fully appreciate and understand my most beloved sport. If only those of us in the pathetic fly-over states had your wisdom. Hopefully the next terrorist attack targets our inferior geographic location instead.

Here’s your self-appointed representative Los Angeles: Izzy60435. Boo this man.

If you lived here you would know that we have easily 10times the amount to thing to do with our money than the rest of the USA…LA only supports a GOOD Product!!!

Example…Lakers Sell out their games and a very hard ticket to get your hands on, but in the same building(Staples Center) the Clippers were roughly getting around 60-70% capacity before Blake Griffin and Chris Paul showed up..now that Griffin& Paul are in town their games a near capacity or sold out! So spare me the childish rants about LA cant support a team cuz when it comes to LA Fans we think exactly like the infamous quote from ex-49ers coach Mike Singletary at his press conference ” I Want WINNERS!!! “

What teams owners are looking to get out of the NFL? I would guess none. But if the Wilson family doesn’t want to maintain a team after Ralph passes away, then that seems to be the only legit chance for Farmers Field.

Sounds like the 2nd stadium option might be better if no ownership stake is required as part of the move.

Discount price for fractional team ownership, you and Anschutz are both jokes!!!!!

Go Ed Roski!!!!

Why should the tax payers of New York foot the bill on over $100 million on fixing Ralph Wilson Stadium?

Why doesn’t Ralph Wilson since he is already a millionare numerous times over?

$100 million can fix alot of things in Buffalo like bringing jobs there, paying the Bflo firemen, & maybe fixing the war zone on the East side of Buffalo?

I have always been a Bills fan but why should the poor people of Buffalo & NY state pay for it?

4th STL (staying)
3rd OAK (staying)
2nd MIN (staying)
1st SD (going)

In it’s return to La La Land from the multi-purpose cookie-cutter bowl known as Qualcomm Stadium, to the brand spanking new Farmers Field!

LA Chargers!!!!

I also don’t know of another city that has lost 3 franchises in the super bowl era

While it possible that Tim doesnt know much about football, his younger brother Tod Leiweke (Former President and CEO of the Seattle Seahawks/Vulcan) does. Even if Tod isn’t helping out his brother, I’m sure he has the resources available to be able to make competent decisions.

Sure it’s only 25 people but thats a lot if you take the sample out of the couple hundred people I know. I don’t know the other 10,000,000 people in the LA area.

The game is more popular nationally than it was back when LA had teams. The NBA was king and the Lakers were always relevant and stole the show from everybody.

Not to mention the Great One who scored a million goals on ice skates and stole the scraps of limelight that were left behind by the Lakeshow.

IDK. I think it can work. GO LA!

They don’t need a team, they just need a suffix and a prefix to be legit.

This has been the Plan from AEG day 1.

Problem with the NFL is they want to put football in LA and LA wants football. We have a project set in motion and the NFL are constantly causing road blocks with removing the stadium g3-g4 loan for relocated teams. An over the top purchase price for a team in the LA market and possible 500 million relocation fee. Really NFL if they are serious they will soften these things up otherwise there will be no NFL in LA. I don’t ever recalling any other cities heading so much to just obtain a team when we have a Billionaire ready to help the process and make some money as well.

NFL makes so much money and unless they really want the LA market they are going to try and suck AEG’s bank account dry to do it. This is the best chance to get it done so I hoe both parties are ready.
Also remember what ever team goes to LA, Rodger Goodell is choosing it.

So he’s just like all you noodle brained vikequeef twits. Expect he’s not a broke ass welfare recipient.

1. Not many cities have two teams to begin with.

2. I must have imagined the Dodgers and Giants leaving New York within two years of each other.

3. Washington, DC lost two baseball teams within 11 years.

The Raiders immediately won a super bowl, which showed up the Rams, but then the Raiders developed their gangland criminal image, which alienated all the normal people in So Cal.

The Rams were badly mismanaged by Georgia Frontierre, who then jumped at the chance to make the nonsensical move of her team to tiny St. Louis, her hometown.

A well run LA team will be a cash cow, and everyone knows it. But it can’t afford another Frontierre or Al Davis in the owners box.

Both the Browns and Bengals have new stadiums and these wacky things called leases. Teams can’t just pack up and move at will.

Why should Ohio have two teams?

His family has already stated they will sell the team after he passes. Unless the NFL wants to remain in a small shrinking market, the sale of the Bills to AEG make good business. It also would move them much closer to the $20 billion industry they are hoping to get to.
