Jordan going back on his word really screws teams up. First Dallas thought they had a center and had set the money aside for him.

Other teams also made decisions based on what They thought were done deals.

It's a bad deal all the way around.

Yea, he made a stupid decision based on his ego (building a team around him, lol); and then he realized that he gave away any real championship possibilities away; and then he was too chicken to even call Cuban back.

Jordan is not a franchise anyway. He can only score on the fast break and a awful free throw shooter

Still waiting to see if the Spurs bring Matt Bonner back....

No, he had a speech impediment as a child. Bill Walton is one of the most insightful people you'll ever come across. Dude wrote a book on bicycles that's supposed to be top notch. He's also been to something like 2,000 Grateful Dead concerts.

Walton over came his speech impediment in his 30's. He is very good at what he sets his mind to.

His retarded ass was one of the main reasons they lost to the clippers

Had Walton kept his health, he would rank up there with the best of all time. Jamal Wilkes in his UCLA days with Walton said he could rebound and fire out to a fast break quicker than anyone he ever played with or against.

He had a bad series. But that is because he was too fatigued from carrying the injured team to a 3 seed in the regular season. Also, Kawhi had a subpar four final four games. He's the one that really needed to step up. I think the moment got too big for him; but he'll be better off for it going forward.

Agree. I saw an Open Court with Shaq and others questioning whether Walton should've been in the top 50. His take lacked awareness. Walton is probably the best passing center of all time. Before injuries, Walton was possibly the best defensive center of all-time. And offensively, he had flashes of brilliance.

Even when Walton returned from missing two full seasons, he played a pain-riddled season and only managed to play half the games; but he still averaged a career high 3.6 blocks per game and 4.1 blocks per 36 minutes.

Walton's blocks per 36 mins are comparable to Olajuwon and D Robinson, who both enjoyed much greater health in their careers. He had I think seven or eight surgeries for the same injury that cut short Yao Ming's career and now threatens Kevin Durant's career.

Retarded Roger Goddell said it's no time frame on the decision on Tom Brady's appeal

He is so ******* weird

The St. Louis Rams’ regular season home opener is a little more than a month away, yet thousands of tickets for that Sept. 13 contest against the Seattle Seahawkshave not been sold, according to a review ofTicketmaster’s website.


@stlbizjkirn: "The SportsBusiness Journal, an affiliated publication, reported in May that Rams season ticket sales for this season were down by a double-digit percentage compared with the prior year."


miklasz: "if Rams owner Stan Kroenke gets his way, this will be the team’s final training camp in St. Louis. And for many fans, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to embrace the team they love. When you aren’t sure if the team will run away from you, the natural reaction is to hold back, stay at a safe distance and try to minimize the pain inside."

meanwhile in LA.


@LATimesFarmer: "In June, the NFL sent requests for proposals to five area venues — the Coliseum, Rose Bowl, StubHub Center, Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium... The Rose Bowl and StubHub Center declined to respond to the league. USC, WHICH OPERATES THE COLISEUM,HAS A CONTRACT THAT SAYS THE STADIUM CAN HOST ONLY ONE TEAM,AND IT IS WILLING TO DO SO.."

Coliseum apos s temporary availability is another twist in NFL-to-L.A. story - LA Times

former LA Rams quarterback Pat Haden is the athletic director at USC,gee I wonder who that one team will be that he chooses between the Rams,Raiders,and Chargers?


Not SD or Oakland.. But the Rams have had a handshake deal with USC on the table.

its happening.done deal.LOS ANGELES RAMS 2016.

this fellow LA RAM fan matter of fact hi the nail right on the head in his comment below.

our beloved Rams could play at a High school field or even a middle school field in L.A and still have more fans show up, compared to a St.Louis home game... Thats a fact, every home game I watch on t.v in St.Louis is like watching an away game.Their is No support from St.Louis for our Beloved Rams.. Ill always be a Rams fan , I raised my kids to be Rams fans, our team deserves better, way better!

oh and ESPN'S Chris Myers who works with the NFL was on fred roggins radio show in LA once and when an LA caller called in who was also skeptical about the Rams coming back to LA spoke,Roggin took him to school with some excellent facts.

the caller called in saying-Fred,we have been down this road several times before in the past with the NFL just using LA as leverage for new stadiums.why do you actually think it is going to be any different this time than in the past?

Fred then went on to make the good point that Myers word is good enough for him because unlike others in the past who were saying LA could have another team soon,Myers has NEVER said LA was ever going to be getting a team in the past.NOW he is.


PLUS,unlike in years past,there has NEVER been an owner who bought land and said they were going to build a stadium for an NFL team.NEVER.

thats why only the delusional drinking koolaide would STILL after all these facts,believe that its all for leverage.

the fact that disinfo agent rightwinger says they are not moving,you can take it to the bank they will be in LA next year.rightwinger is like clinton and nixon,constantly lies all the time.

over a 100 people here at USMB have caught him making up outright lies many times over the years.lol

 

[LA RAM FAN]

If I were a betting man my money is still on the Rams as the owner Stan Kroenke has already checked off many of the tougher aspects of getting a stadium built.


And though he may not have Carmen Policy in his corner he certainly isn’t on bad terms with other owners as far as we know. He has also not made any effort thus far to discuss staying in St Louis with any of the cities officials. Regardless of any speculation on my part, Hopefully we’ve cleared up some of the confusion in the ever complicated Saga of the NFL’s return to Los Angeles.
