One more note on Los Angeles and I'll shut my pie hole. This was comment when Houston was awarded their franchise...

"The NFL was determined to put a team in the nation's second-largest television market, but when the final showdown came, L.A. was hamstrung by conflicting proposals, a lack of public money, limited city and state support and fans who didn't seem to care."

... and "Raiders owner Al Davis has long maintained LA is still his territory".
