I tend to agree. Both teams (Chargers & Rams) should merge to make it a 8-8 team .

New logo announced as well. That's some bull crap. The best uniforms in NFL history are gone. Dolphins, Oilers and now the Chargers. Shame. They are considering rebranding after 2017. One more ugly uniform like the Jaguars does the NFL no justice.

The Chargers were originally in LA 1960.

For literally one year. It doesn't really even count.

This is going to be a colossal train wreck. The new logo is hot trash. At least with almost every other sports move you had a new city that had a vacancy for a pro team - Oklahama City Thunder, New Orleans Jazz, Indianapolis Colts, etc. And this is nothing like the Rams; the Rams have the tradition and nostalgia to fall back on since they used to be in LA.

The only good thing that can come out of this is it's another black-eye for Goodell and his no-****s-given approach to pretty much everything.

Godhell is doing his best to over saturate the market. They won't last long there. Fans can be sooo fickle.

Re: Chargers to announce move to Los Angeles

Not all (and this also applies to other places), but many in L.A. culture want to be associated with a winner...big part of why NFL teams fail in that huge market. I'm sure many here have seen the number of "super fan" celebrities at Lakers games when they play well and their mysterious absence when they are losing.

Re: Chargers to announce move to Los Angeles

Its been said but I'll say it again. There's just too much to DO down there. They're not going to support a 7-9 team, much less two of them...not with any consistency.

Anyone else notice how much Spranos looks like Goodhell? Noticed it today watching ESPN when he was talking about the move.

Yes and San Diego will pay a fortune in a couple of months/years to get them back.
