This new rumor circulating around St. Louis is very creative, but it is patently false. Here's why: 1.) The NFL will not expand beyond 32 teams any time soon, if ever. The owners will not willingly choose to make their piece of the league revenue split any smaller. 2.) Stan Kronke will not sell the Rams. Why should he? Why would he? He and his family want to leave a mark in the Los Angeles area, and make a pile of money in the process. Almost every "expert" who is certain that Kronke would sell the Rams so he can buy the Broncos fails to recognize certain things. First of all, the Broncos are not for sale, and the team may never be offered for sale any time soon, if ever. Even if he did suddenly get to buy the Broncos, Kronke would not own "every sports team in Denver." He would still not own MLB's Colorado Rockies. Kronke has a home in Malibu, and his daughter lives in the Los Angeles area. He tried to buy the Dodgers. Where would the average person look to spend their "golden years," in St. Louis or in Malibu? More importantly, Kronke is about to spend about $2 Billion to build what could arguably be called the greatest stadium in the history of sports. Chances like this don't come around too often, even for the very wealthy. 3.) After their most recent meeting in Arizona, the owners decided that there will only be two teams in the new Los Angeles/Anaheim/San Diego marketplace it has created. Although it has not yet been officially announced, those two teams will certainly be the Rams and Chargers. Even the Raiders now realize this. This is why the team just announced plans for a new $40 million practice facility in Northern California. 4.) Because people in St. Louis will not fully support the Rams' lame duck season, and if put to a vote, will not choose to use public funds to construct that riverfront stadium, St. Louis will be without an NFL team until and unless their friend Shad Khan could move his Jaguars there sometime in the late 2020's or early 2030's. 5.) In the meantime, the second team spot in Inglewood will either be used by the Chargers, or else it will remain vacant so that the NFL can continue to use L.A. as "threat city" to other towns which may need to build a new stadium for their team. Any other scenario concocted by anybody else is pure BS.
WELL SAID.
Thank you, Captain Obvious. Does this guy seriously get paid to regurgitate news? Journalism is some serious amateur-level shit (outside of The Dean).
