Okay. You may be right. But I still wouldn't put the Rams moving as worse. Nobody cared about the Bobcats even when they were here. Everyone loved the Hornets and many refused to go to Bobcat games because they weren't the Hornets. The "Bobcats" franchise is just starting to gain ground, because of two playoff appearances and the fact that they went back to the Hornets name. But it's still not the original Hornets. The original Hornets were special. In a city where there wasn't a football team yet, and the home to many transplants with their own football teams, the original Hornets brought the whole city together as one. It was truly something special. The current Hornets just doesn't have the same mystique as the originals.

Well at least the NFC West makes sense again.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I agree. He was saying that the Rams leaving St. Louis is worse than the Hornets leaving Charlotte.

My bad, missed the "but" in his statement

Re: NFL Off Topic

Maybe the Raiders can move to St Louis.

Mark Davis said they're not interested in St. Louis. I bet they move to San Antonio in the next few years.

Lol ya. This is the 2nd division in nfl i think that makes geographic sense.

Nfl has best division concept(north,east,south,west), but next to no execution/geographical meaning

J'Ville can support 2 NFL squads, right?

Re: NFL Off Topic

The common denominator between the Cardinals and Rams leaving St. Louis is that they both came from somewhere else before arriving in St. Louis.

Of course, the Cardinals started in Chicago and the Rams came from LA via Cleveland.

Maybe there's a lesson there in stealing someone else's team.

Note that both teams that left LA started somewhere else too.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I wonder if the Rams go with the original yellow and blue unis that STL was using as throwbacks.

Those colors are so 70s and 80s.

On House Hunters, sometimes they see a house which hasn't been renovated in decades so they have avocado-colored refrigerators and such.

Besides, I truly doubt that his hatred for anything could be "enhanced".

Re: NFL Off Topic

Kronke is a Missiouri native who once promised the Rams would never leave.

But in the last 3 years he stopped talking to the local media and didn't make any kind of public appearances.

Maybe something pissed him off about the city and state or maybe he really sees a huge money making opportunity in LA.

Re: NFL Off Topic

They were in the bottom three in attendance for the last five years (that's as far back as I went).

And they haven't had a winning season since 2003. Think those two facts might be related?
