Their stadium is worse than the current one in St. Louis, though certainly not as bad as the shit-filled (literally!) Coliseum in Oakland.

Good for the Seahawks = Shorter road trip.

As for the Raiders... I'd GTFO of Oakland as soon as possible under any circumstances whatsoever.


san diego does have good fans but only 1/3 of them show up to games...every road team that plays there is basically a home game for them

Oh.

I'm so glad she's no longer part of the Raiders, because she would easily be the smartest person in that building if she was still there. This would be my perfect destination for the Raiders.

The idea that the Raiders could take the Chargers place if they leave S.D. is pretty hilarious.

You have to wonder how many owners are privately begging for Mark Davis to sell to Bob Iger, Larry Ellison, or some rich Silicon Valley guy that could make a second team in the Bay Area work. As a Broncos fan, obviously I hope he resists those forces and owns the team for a very long time.

In the same vein, the Rams' move to LA is a little scary because I just feel like being there is going to naturally improve the team. Like free agents will want to go there. I could be totally wrong but I think the move will definitely make them more competitive.

Which by the way, we're possibly going to see a 4th straight year of the NFC West in the Super Bowl ... 3 different teams ... with the Rams potentially on the up-tick. Assuming Seattle gets back into a groove, the Rams improve, and the Panthers don't win next week ... (that's a lot to assume) ... we could see some kind of streak for NFC West teams in the SB.

Attracting free agents is only part of the puzzle. You still need to draft well, especially when it comes to a QB since the good ones don't usually sniff free agency--and that's been the Rams' problem for years, ever since Marc Bulger fell apart.

Seattle supposedly has good fans, but during the 90s it threatened to move to LA, too.

My aunt lives in LaJolla. Every year for Christmas she would get me a different San Diego Chargers jersey. I had a Ralph Benirschke jersey for God's sake! I probably had 15 of them. Anyway, since I was about 5, they've been my 2nd favorite team in football.

I suck at picking football teams for whom to root.

Have you ever gotten down there for a Chargers game? I might be tempted to go to the Broncos game there next year considering that might be the last one. AFC West rivalries aside, SD's an awesome town to visit.

Yeah. Most recently I went to the Chargers/Jets AFC Divisionsal round in 2010 when, of course, they shit the bed. I like your idea of catching a game there next year. And my good friend just moved there.

Green Habit and Chris_H_2 set to meet!
