What no one mentioned is the Rams owner possibly being involved in this.

Look at this shady mofos history.

- Moved out of L.A. in 95 or 96? Put a team in the SB in 99 just 3 years later. Last SB they in they lost to the Pats.

- After that entire time in St Louis they never did anything else even as much as make the playoffs and hired morons like our old garbage in Haslett/Venturi, Jeff Fisher, and Linehan.

- Moves back to L.A., within 2 years in a SB.

Anyone seeing a trend here?

In fairness, that was a different owner in the 90's.

Re: Gary Cavaletto Serves on Public Board
 

On April 13, 1995, Stan Kroenke helped Georgia Frontiere move the National Football League's Los Angeles Rams from Anaheim to St. Louis by purchasing a 30% share of the team.

In May 2010, the owners expressed that they hoped the team would be sold to longtime minority owner Stan Kroenke. Then on August 25, 2010, Kroenke received unanimous approval from league owners as the new owner of the Rams.

The rest as they say, is history!

So he had a share of the team. That's not a controlling share, though. So I'm not sure would sort of dots we're trying to connect here.

No dots, it states:

Re: Gary Cavaletto Serves on Public Board
 

He was doing what the league told him to do

Re: Gary Cavaletto Serves on Public Board
 

I know what it states, and my question about what sort of dots we're trying to connect was not about what you posted, specifically. It's that I am wondering how it helps in understanding what connection the other person was trying to make.

Stan Kroenke wasn't the owner of the Rams in the 90's, but according to the information you posted, which I was not previously aware of, he purchased a share. But Georgia Frontiere wanted to move. And, apparently, in order to make that happen she needed Kroenke's help, which meant selling a share of the franchise to him.

So then, he didn't really make the decision to move the team the first time, but he did the second time. And he left for the same city he helped the team leave the first time. With that all in mind, I don't know how any of this proves that the Rams winning the Super Bowl in '99 relates to them getting there now. I see nothing nefarious about what happened in '99. This time is different, but I'm still not sure that Kroenke is behind it at all, despite the fact that I don't care for him too much.

Stan Kronke is married to Ann Walton (Walmart) Kroenke. He has enough $$$$$$$ to do whatever he wants.
