How is this gonna work? They can't have three teams there.

It looks like St. Louis is gonna' fight to keep the Rams and have a plan in place, so maybe they'll be odd man out when it's all said and done, #shrug. Too bad, I woulda' liked to see the Rams back in L.A.

I know it sounds crazy but I think they might maybe do something here like a hybrid cross between what they do at Metlife Stadium (Giants alternate with Jets) and what the Bills did in Toronto. You remember how for a while there, Buffalo would go play a couple of games a year at the stadium in Toronto? They could do that in Los Angeles. Have one team BASED in Los Angeles, 10 games, and then have San Diego or Oakland or another team, come in and play 1 or 2 games there as well, in the off weeks.

If I was Los Angeles, going for maximum bang for buck out of a new L.A. stadium, that is probably the second-most profitable scenario, if they don't do two whole teams based there full-time. Make it like L.A. hosts one and a half teams!

Its gonna suck for the fans of any of those team that actually ends up moving.

If I got to chose I would move the Raiders and only them.

This makes the NFL schedule harder to predict not that it hasn't already been.

Just glad one of the names on the list wasn't the Saints.
