Carmen Policy: “Let’s say (the St. Louis task force) presents a credible deal, one they feel that can not only work but has guarantees with it. All of sudden, that could change the way the league looks at how the Rams will proceed with relocation. It may even change whether they think the Rams can proceed with relocation. I’m almost positive that they’re going to find that San Diego and Oakland are not able to present a viable deal.”
Odds improve for NFL s return to L.A. area with Carmen Policy trying to help the Chargers Raiders reach Carson - The Orange County Register
Combined with Fabiani's sabotaging of San Diego's efforts to build a stadium for the Chargers. Policy adds to the false narrative strategy by suggesting that having four teams in California is "insane" ...California had four teams from 1960-1994, or did he forget? Those thirty-four years of the SAN DIEGO Chargers, OAKLAND Raiders, SAN FRANCISCO 49ers, and LOS ANGELES Rams defined the modern NFL that we know today.
Let me know when STL owns at the land to even build the stadium, then let me know when all the lawstuits are settled and then let me know when you convince Kroenke to chip in his $450m to make your stadium a reality. I have a strong feeling it will be in nevruary..
Davis has already announced that if he can get $400 million, the Raiders stay in Oakland. He's even willing to sell part of the team to do it.
So Raiders stay there, Rams come to Inglewood, Chargers get a guarantee that if they can't work things out with San Diego, they can move into Inglewood's 2nd spot in a few years. 4 team California, 2 teams in NorCal, 2 teaks in SoCal, each 1 NFC, 1 AFC without realignment.
Really the best solution I see.
It's so silly. Carmen Policy knows better yet, spins Fabiani narrative. Let's review the law Mr. Policy. StL lost in court two years ago. Arbitrator said they must spend $700 million to fix EJD or, Rams could leave. Guess what? Rams can leave. Now,let's review US Antitrust law...The StL Rams are a U.S. business operating within the several states doing business in the U.S. The overseeing NFL also operates within the several states overseeing the league. Since the Rams are a U.S. business and there is no anti-trust exemption as in baseball, the Rams can move to any city they see fit to do business. Can the NFL stop them? Davis vs. NFL says no. That's the law on point. If Stan takes this to federal court, he wins every day and twice on Sunday. Who wins? Stan. Who loses? All other owners. It's over Mr. Policy, only Mr. Spanos & Mr. Fabiani didn't send you that memo.
Please shut the hell up! A's not making any damn deal with Oakland. I live here you dont. Rev sharing ends at end of 2016 season, they are gonna sell when Supreme Court gives final no on SJ
Raiders only options are deal at Coliseum or move to Levi. Stan is getting LA, its a done deal....truly done deal. NFL wants SD Superbowls and Chargers really want downtown SD. There will be no damn realignment in NFL.
I live in Bay Area too and Oakland isnt kicking anyone out! If San Jose wins in Supreme Court,A's will move there and MLB cant do anything about it! If they lose, Wolff will sell thats why all the A's over Raiders is so dumb! Wolff is waiting things out!
Why does nobody mention the fact that it would be beyond idiotic to have two AFC Western Division teams playing in the same stadium? Why doesn't any of these writers address the fact that hardly any LA locals want the Chargers or raiders to come to LA?I also understand from a friend who lives in Missouri, that no one cares about the Rams, unless there is talk of them moving back to LA. Then.... Everyone gets all bothered about it.
This is less an article than a re-iteration of Policy's talking points, and the notion of "odds improving" that is 0% reality and 100% Fabiani.
No mention of St. Louis breaking their promise and making a token offer they know won't please the Rams buthope forces them to stay. No mention that the owners would be crazy to set a precedent where cities don't have to keep promises. No mention that the said promise breaking makes any "guarantees" moot. No mention that San Diego has already made an offer requiring just as much team money (upfront money, G4 repayment [No, Shane, it's not a grant], and PSL money going to the stadium rather than the owner), but builds a stadium worth $400 million more and that that was San Diego's FIRST offer which they've since increased. No mention that St. Louis CANNOT substantially increase their offer (and may not even be able to make their token offer at all).
Many other no mentions. Journalism fail.
- This is BS. Knowing personally how Georgia Frontiere intentionally fielded an inferior Rams team in LA to intentionally reduce ticket sales so she could have the excuse she needed to move the Rams to her hometown of St. Louis, proves that an owner doesn't need anyone's permission to move or re-locate (San Diego Clippers ( NBA ) to LA another example) Remember, Sterling packed up and moved overnight without the knowledge or blessings of NBA officials let alone the city of San Diego (blindsided).. The Rams belong in LA and will relocate to LA. However, if history repeats itself, LA will only support 1 team and it MUST be winner... The city of San Diego is bending over backwards to build the Chargers the very stadium they have asked for and Oakland is trying very hard to work out a deal with the Raiders & A's. This is all about greed, not fan loyalty. My prediction is the Rams will move to LA. Any other team who follows, will fail terribly, lose money and regret ever moving when all is said and done.

Dan StillsNothing to see here just another dumb ass article! Forgets to mention the extra 18mos of clean up at Carson! 5yrs for a total build at that site! 3yrs at Inglewood, Carmen must be throwing around some serious $$ and Wine to get these articles wrote!
St. Louis had their shot and they blew it. The violated the terms of the lease and disregarded an independent arbitrators ruling. They can't decided a few years later that hey let's build a new stadium and magically make everything better. It doesn't work that way.
Its funny how Carson has so many problems and they are never mentioned at all in these articles! It should be Rams only in LA!
