To Live and Die in L.A.




Well…Well….

Here we are again. Talking about who is going to be the next L.A. NFL Football Team. The choices are between:

St. Louis Rams
Oakland Raiders
San Diego Chargers
Jacksonville Jaguars
Minnesota Vikings

Hmmm….Oakland and St. Louis were once L.A. Teams and if I remember correctly the fans didn't support them. At least not the Rams. The Rams ran out of L.A. Oakland is a wild card any way you look at it. Al wants to be in L.A. then he doesn't. Al wants what is best for Al.

The Chargers is an interesting pick. This team is doing well in San Diego. The fans are as loyal as you get. Well at least until you move your team to L.A. This would not be a good idea.

Jacksonville is horrible. This team needs some TNT rather than a move to LA LA land. The Jags have never really attracted a large fan base so this maybe a good move for them.

Minnesota has been threatening to move for some time now. Honestly, I am bored with the whole thing. It is reminiscent of when Favre wants to come out of retirement or when Bernard Hopkins wants to talk about something he knows nothing about. But lets review, fans are relatively present in Minnesota. The team has been going through some growing pains here and there. The whole Favre thing is pathetic. The rebirth of Randy Moss in Minnesota was a sad sight to see. Childress…well, enough said.

Personally, I thin the league should grow. The league should accept two to eight more teams. Here is where I think teams should go:

Los Angeles
Portland
Las Vegas
Vancouver
Mexico City
San Antonio
Quebec
Toronto

Some would say that this would cause the league to be too saturated with average play. I say there is some many great players that never make it to the NFL. Why not merge some leagues together and get some of these great players from the UFL.

As for the five teams listed above. Oakland and St. Louis shouldn't even be considered. These teams already had an opportunity with L.A. and they failed. Minnesota is not going to L.A. San Diego would be fools to move. Jacksonville is the only real potential candidate.

Go Los Angeles Jaguars!
