    I wont be one bit at all surprised if nobody replies to this thread since for some pathetic reason,nobody here seems to care that a monumental moment in sports history is going to happen next year with the Rams going back to LA.:roll:

    The Rams going back to LA is the same thing as if the Yankees had been out of new york for the past 20 years and were headed back.

    I despise the Yankees with a passion,they are my most hated team in baseball.But if that was the case with them,I would be interested in it.beam me up scotty,theres no intelligent life forms on this planet.:roll:

    were talking about a team that had a history of 49 years there yet nobody cares.:roll:

    and there is already a Royals thread so they wont come over here to post about that subject I doubt.

    Well I dont care if nobody replies or doesnt have anything constructive to say about the topic.I still got to talk about my excitement about it here even if nobody reads it.

    In case I am wrong by chance and there IS someone who bothers to read this far,the Royals are my favorite team in baseball..Always stuck with them through the lean years when they were the joke of MLB so I plan on being there tomorrow in downtown for their parade.

    The "LA" Rams i have always loved as much as the Royals so my life is going to get double as good in a couple of months when the announcement is expected by the NFL.:clapping:

    The Royals have always been my favorite baseball team since I was a toddler and the "LA" Rams have always been my favorite NFL team ever since then as well so this is going to be a special year for me.:clapping:

    It just shows that dreams CAN come true.:thumbsup::banana:

    I know franchises move around a bit but the Rams - the LA Rams - were the first NFL team I ever say playing the sport. That was quite a few years ago when the game wasn't as well known internationally as it is now. In fact the television was black and white so I couldn't even check out team colours. But I was fascinated and for me the Rams have always been the LA Rams (although I do have St Louis Rams merchandise). It will be good to see them back there.

    Teams move, it use to be the Cleveland Rams, then the LA Rams and finally the St. Louis Rams. If you remember the Oakland Raiders moved to LA for a few years before going back to Oakland. You once had the Chicago Cardinals, I got a baseball card with all the team on it. They moved to St. Louis and then on to Arizona. I think when it comes to professional sports, teams move way too much. My Braves went from Boston (Spahn and Sain and pray for rain) to Milwaukee and finally Atlanta.

    Kansas City got the A's from Philadelphia before they moved to Oakland. Do you remember the old St. Louis Browns who later became the Baltimore Orioles. I can remember when the Dodgers and Giants left New York for California, now that was big.

    I haven't heard anything about the Rams move, but I always been more of a baseball fan than a football one. Down here college football has been king. But I don't follow sports like I use to, I think the pro sports have gotten too big for their britches.

    see thats where we are different. I know there are a lot of people out there in LA who still follow the Rams and cheer them on but not me. a city is a teams identity,If the Rams aren't playing in LA,then they're not the Rams,thats somebody else playing there in st louis. I have cheered against them the past 20 years.I will never root for a Rams team that isnt called the LOS ANGELES Rams.

    I have a friend in oakland who did the same thing when the Raiders were in LA.He rooted for the teams that played the Raiders for them to win each week.I did the same as well. I hated the Raiders when they were in LA. Los Angeles Raiders just never sounded right. It didnt sound like an NFL team. He agrees with me,if they dont play in Oakland,then they're not the Raiders. He said to me "and I whole heartedly agree with him." that when the Raiders moved away to LA,it didnt matter that they were still in California,they might as well have moved to Alaska for all he was concerned.:thumbsup:

    St Louis Rams in the most retarded name for a football team on par with Arizona Cardinals.:thumbsdown:

    I know Ram fans in LA who burned all their Rams stuff when they moved away.That was unwise.I did not go that far.I just buried them deep in my closet and just now got them out this past year again since they are coming back.

    I always held the belief telling myself-Hey the Raiders moved back to Oakland,I bet the Rams will move back as well someday.My faith payed off.:thumbsup:

    Yeah teams move WAY too much. Yeah when the Raiders were in LA,i always rooted for the teams that played them each week to win.I so much hated them.How dare they invade Rams territory.I wanted to throw a party and celebrate when the Raiders moved back to Oakland but i could not get excited about it because that same year,the Rams left LA shortly before they did so that took the wind out of my celebration.

    The Raiders moving back to Oakland was the ONLY time that I ever approved of a team moving because they never should have been allowed to leave Oakland in the first place same as the Rams should never have been allowed to leave LA or the cardinals being allowed to leave st louis.

    The Cardinals moving from chicago to st louis was no big deal however because they moved because they could not compete with the Bears for attendance.Being allowed to leave St Louis was a much different story though.that should never have been allowed by the NFL.

    I remember hearing the name St Louis Browns but I did not know they became the Baltimore Orioles. I never knew that.I was thinking the Cleveland Browns were from St Louis first.lol

    Yeah I dont follow sports like I used to anymore either.I miss the good old days when I was a kid when players stayed with one team their whole careers,that was why i got sick of sports and dont watch them anymore like i used to,mostly sticking to old baseball and football games.

    used to be I would watch the world series and the superbowl every year,no more though.Unless the Royals,Cubs,Dodgers,or Pirates are in the world series,i wont watch it.

    with football,i wont be watching the playoffs at all this year because the chargers are the only team I have any interest in and they arent going to the playoffs again this year.they are horrible. the other 31 teams i dont give a crap about.

    yeah the Rams are for sure going back to LA.You can look through all my posts here on this thread if you like where I spelled it out dummies style for a couple idiots on there who would not listen to the facts and just ignored them.I took them to school though.

    As a kid growing up I was a fan of the Atlanta Crackers, a AA southern league team which was affilated with the Boston Braves and later the Milwaukee Braves. I use to listen to quite a lot of ballgames at night on the radio. I could pick up the Cubs games when they were away, no lights at Wigley, the Yankees and the Reds. So before the Braves moved into Atlanta I was a Cubs and Yankees fan. One losses all the time and the other wins all the time. Quite a contrast. Banks was my favorite player on the Cubs and of course Mantle and Ford on the Yankees.

    I never payed much attention to pro football. It was college and when I was young it was Georgia Tech which was the powerhouse in Georgia, not UGA. So I followed them and still do.

    But yes, prior to free agency, even if one followed a losing team like the Cubs one knew his favorite players would always be there. Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, George Altman, Dick Ellsworth, Sammy and Tony Taylor, good old days.

    They Yankees of Mickey Mantle, Bobby Richardson, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Clete Boyer etc. winners all. 8 teams in each league and only the winner went to the world series. No playoffs or divisions, just pure baseball. Baseball in the daytime most of the time, watching the world series games in school, pure enjoyment. No artificial turf, DH, domes, just natural grass and baseball. Great.

    Damn your really old the fact you got to watch Mickey Mantle and Yogi play.lol

    I dont know how kids growing up these days can be fans of teams the fact they dont stay with one team their whole career anymore.I could get excited about the Royals when i was a toddler because I knew Frank White,George Brett,Hal McRae,Amos Otis,Paul Splittorf in most my other favorite players on that team would always be back the next year.. those were the glory days as Bruce Springsting sings in his song.

    yeah I miss the old days when Wrigley did not have lights and even the world series games played during school as well.Life was so much more fun as a kid when life wasnt so complicated huh? a time when sports were not corrupt like they are now.

    I never minded artificial turf.Being a royals fan i just grew up with it and never thought of it.I kinda like the DH though.I think thats about the only change they made in baseball that was a good one.The pitcher cant hit so its kinda a waste to have him do it.Just as long as it stays the way it is with the american league having the DH and the national league not use it,I will be happy with that.

    the thing that really ruined baseball for me and made me lost interest as well was when they started tearing down all these old ballparks tiger stadium,old comisky park,yankee stadium.that more than anything made me lost interest as well as teams changing their uniform colors.

    I always like the royals road uniforms where they wore the power blue and it said KANSAS CITY on it.I also loved the Houston Astros bright uniforms they wore.those were the good old days.there should be a law against teams tearing down their stadiums and changing their uniform colors.:steamed:

    the other thing about baseball that makes me sick as well is that they decide the team that wins the all star game,that league gets home field advantage in the world series.that change was so stupid.they made that change for the players to have incentive to play the game hard since they dont do so anymore like they did in the days when pete rose barreled in over ray fosse for the winning score.

    you'll never find players like that in this day and age doing that,thats fur sure. Back in those days,you even had players who would play hard like that in SPRING TRAINING NO LESS!!! that would be unheard of in this day and age. the simple solution to get them to play hard in the all star game like they did when we were little is simply stop paying them all these multi million dollar salaries.duh.:roll:

    the owners have really ruined the game today.

    the last straw for me more in baseball as well was when they started that stupid and asinine three way wild card thing. baseball was the last sport that did it RIGHT,when the division and you get to move on,everyone that finished second or worse,stayed home.that was the CORRECT way to do it.Now the message they are sending is it is okay if you finish second and not be the best.:roll:

    whats the point in having sports if you reward them for not being first and the best you can be?:roll:

    with baseball stadiums having domes I did not mind so much since only a few of them did so such as seattle and minnesota. Its in football where it pissed me off and made me lose interest in the NFL. thats a major reason why i dont like the NFL as well now along with so many teams that moved.

    I have no problem with Arizona and Houston having domes since it is really hot in those cities and they wear all that padding but minnesota and detroit playing in domes? come on,that has hurt the integrity of the game.:angered: the game was meant to be played outside IN THE COLD. the thing more than anything the NFL sucks though is the fans in minnesota WANT outdoor football,further proof the NFL does not care what the fans want.

    I wish i could get everybody to just boycott the NFL,that way they would listen to the fans but they are too stupid to do so.

    Oh yeah. I seen Ted Williams, but a little young for Joe DiMaggio. I became a baseball fan around 1955. I agree about the players not staying with one team anymore. I couldn’t imagine a Ernie Banks not being a Cub, or Mr. Cub. Mantle, Yogi and Ford not being a Yankee. Ted Williams a Red Sox.
    Today one never knows where your favorite player will end up next year. I grew up at the right time when it came to baseball.

    Exactly on the corruption of sports, it is all about the money these days and that is one reason I do not pay it much attention. It’s kind of like they are spoiled brats. On the DH, I watched some pretty good hitting pitchers in my day. Spahn of my Braves hit 35 homeruns, Drysdale 29, Gibson 24. Wes Ferrell 38. It wasn’t that unusual for a pitcher to hit .250 or above. Don Larson who threw the only perfect game in World Series history hit .306 one year. Mike Hampton who spent time with the Braves, hit .344 and one year with Colorado Hampton hit .291 with 7 home runs. The reason pitchers suck is they are not allowed to hit in the minor leagues anymore. Both Tom Glavin and John Smotz were good hitting pitchers for my Braves, no easy out and that gave both of them a big advantage.

    I agree on the old ball parks, what a shame. Crosley Field, Forbes Field, Wrigley, and more. Then they went to these round stadiums instead of ball parks. Crazy.

    Speaking of All Stars games, back in the 50’s and early 60’s they played them to win. Each all star team could have only 25 players and a lot of players played the whole game. A Mays, Mantle, Killebrew, Brooks Robinson, Ted Williams, would play all nine innings. Today it is just a show case. Want to make the all star game meaningful again, cut the rosters back to 25 and leave the best players play the whole dang game. If some player don’t get in, too bad.

    Yeah, I hate the three divisions. I remember back in 1969 when baseball expanded from 10 teams to 12 teams in each league and went to a 2 division set up. There was an outcry about the two divisions. But baseball promised never to dilute baseball further. They did by going to 3 divisions and adding the wild card. I remember the Braves battling the Giants back in the early 90’s, toe to toe they went for the division title. The Braves won something like 104 games to the Giants 103 or something close. But the whole month of September was pins and needles time. A pennant chase, that was certainly one. Today that September chase wouldn’t have meant a thing. Both teams were guaranteed a spot. Base lost something vital when it went to wild cards, it lost the pennant chase.

    Thanks for the memories guy.

    Quite a few pitchers were no easy outs prior to the DH being implements. Others couldn't bat their way out of a handbag. Bill Hands of the Cubs was on of the most inept hitters ever. He had 479 AB and only 37 hits. 10 of those 37 hits came in 1971 where he hit an amazing .133, his highest BA in his 11 seasons. His career BA was .078.

    But a lot of pitchers were good hitters and some would pinch hit or even play the outfield in a pinch. I remember Don Drysdale pinch hitting for the Dodgers, Mike Hampton pinch hit several times for the Braves as did Bob Lemon for Cleveland.

    Before the DH pitchers were taught and did hit in the minors. After the DH, the skill of hitting became a lost art among pitchers. Mainly because now the minors used the DH.

    The Rams moving to LA is not a done deal at the moment...a Disney exec has breathed new life into the Carson stadium plan to host the Chargers/Raiders.

    Disney CEO Bob Iger aims to bring an NFL team back to professional-football-starved L.A.

    true but thats all smoke and mirrors.the carson project is a hoax.I been saying that from day one.Inglewood is light years ahead of carson with construction set to begin this december.the carson project would never be ready to go till a year from now.

    Inger comes into play ONLY if the NFL owners choose the chargers over the Rams and that will never happen because the owners prefer the inglewood site over carson.Plus the NFL wants an owner in LA who has deep pockets.Kroneke does,spanos and davis dont.

    more importantly though is a major factor in teams being able to relocate is fan support.the raiders and chargers have sold out all their games from this year and last year where the attendance in st louis this year is at an all time low and has gotten worse and worse each year with the Rams ranked dead last.

    I was at the home opener for the seahawks.I saw with my own eyes how that place was empty.lol from what I saw,i estimated there were 30,000 fans there at the most.half of them being seahawk fans.

    the NFL is not going to want to continue to have a franchise playing year after year having a lame duck season.they are going to want to get this over with soon as possible and that can only happen with inglewood.

    after looking into this more and doing some more research into this,i can tell you right now with absolute certainty,that this is an act of desperation by the chargers who are behind this and it is a last ditch hail mary by them.they are grasping at straws and getting desperate because they know they are light years behind Inglewood.:roflol:

    I'll have more on this tomorrow.If you look at just the headlines and are not in the know like I am,your first natural instinct if you are a st louis native and want to keep them there is that the Rams have a chance to stay,but when you look deeper into past the headlines and analyize the facts-something the mainstream media never covers,then you understand this is indeed a last ditch effort and desperation ploy by them to get caught up with Inglewood since they know Inglewood is light years ahead of them.

    Its a last ditch desperation effort by the chargers to throw a hail mary pass and pray that one of the receivers "in their case the NFL owners" choose Carson over Inglewood which will never fly for the previous reasons I pointed out. :grin:

    Like I said,I'll get more into it tomorrow when i have more time to present more of the facts that this is desperation mode by the chargers.lol

    the Rams are indeed a done deal to LA next year.something the NFL never mentions in all their reports is that Inglewood is set for construction to begin in december.they got bulldozers and all the building materials there all set and ready to go where with carson,they have none of that. the ONLY way that the Rams dont move back to LA is if Inglewood comes out and says -we are not building a stadium.that hasnt happened yet.

    Los Angeles Rams SOUNDS right.It doesnt sound retarded like Arizona Cardinals since the cardinals real city is st louis.

    It would be same as if the yankees moved out of new york to Las Vegas or something.Las Vegas Yankees? The Rams had a history over being there for 49 years,any other name other than LOS ANGELES Rams is retarded same as it was retarded hearing Los Angeles Raiders when they were in LA.

    You heard Los Angeles Raiders and you were like WTF? I refused to call them anything other than Oakland Raiders when they were there and will never call the Rams anything other than LOS ANGELES Rams which thank god,will be a reality next year. same with the cards and colts.I will never call them anything other than st louis cardinals or baltimore colts.thats they it always SHOULD have been.

    Rams & Chargers move to LA
    Raiders go to StL

    This is my prediction.

    California can only support 3 NFL teams and St. Louis is NFL ready today to accept the Raiders

    The Rams will play in the LA Coliseum for a season or two...which is a complete dump. They have no offense to speak of with a questionable QB at the helm.

    Los Angeles won't support a losing team for very long and the Rams are a losing franchise.

    Meanwhile the Raiders are improved and St. Louis should welcome them if they decide to move here.

    I like your prediction and agree with it to an extent.:thumbsup: I am glad to see you are one of the rare people in st louis not in denial mode about the Rams and can accept it they are good as gone.:thumbsup:

    It is rare to ever find anybody there in that city who can accept that,so its nice to see you are one of the rare ones there in that city who can accept it.:thumbsup:

    I asked you this question a few times but never got an answer from you on so I'll try one more time.

    since you have now come to grips with it and have accepted the Reality the Rams are as good as gone,when they leave,which one of these are you going to do?
    1.continue to cheer them on.
    2.start rooting for the chiefs.
    3.Root for the Arizona cardinals? thats your REAL football team
    4.not watch NFL football at all?
    I would not blame you one bit at all if you chose option 4 because thats what I did when they left LA.I lost total interest in NFL football at that point.

    I agree with you that the Chargers will join the Rams in LA however the way I think they will join them there may not be in agreement with the way you think though.

    The Chargers have no fans in LA at all.zero.if they tried to move there,even if they win,they wont be embraced there in LA.they would always play second fiddle not only to the Rams out there,but all the other sports teams as well.the dodgers,lakers,clippers,Kings,and even the Angels out in Anahiem. they would flop if they tried to move out there so what they will probably do is this-Spanos wants out of san diego.He has alienated charger fans by not trying to get anything done in SD.

    So knowing they would play second fiddle in LA if they were out there then what they would do is what Art Modell did when he moved the Browns to Baltimore.

    He left the name,colors and logo in cleveland because he was wise enough to know nobody in Baltimore would embrace the Cleveland Browns.They would have been CALLED the Baltimore Browns but in reality,they would have been the Cleveland Browns of baltimore and nobody would go out and see them.

    so Modell changed the name to Baltimore RAVENS and the public took to them. Thats what Spanos would have to do.start an expansion team in the AFC with a different name and different colors.If he did that,then that would catch on with the public.that would be the only thing that would make sense on him moving the
    Chargers to LA is leave the name,logo,and colors in San Diego same as Modell did with the Browns.

    I dont think the NFL will want the chargers to leave anyways because san diego is a beautiful city and a great market

    why do you think california can only support 3 football teams when they supported 4 for over 35 years though? I disagree on that because of that history right there.

    yes you are correct,the Rams will play in the dump the LA coliseum for a couple of seasons. too bad there is one poster on my other Rams thread who doesnt get that.no matter how many times I explained that to him,it just went through one ear and out the other with him.:roll:

    when the Rams were in LA they were always good except for the early 90's when the then owner the b!tch georgia frontier purposely sabatoged the team trading away eric dickerson so she could move the team to her hometown in st louis.

    Once the Rams move to LA,I guarantee you Kroneke will clean house and get rid of Fisher and get a new and better GM as well. they will be good again,everybody on the planet will want to come and play in LA.Nobody wants to go and play in that dump stadium there in st louis.that was why Bradford wanted to be traded.He wanted no part of playing in that dump stadium they currently play in.

    as far as the Raiders moving there to st louis? I disagree.i dont see that happening for two reasons. one the reason i mentioned earlier when talking about the chargers.the owners dont want to lose san diego as a market so the team name will probably remain.same with Oakland,that is a good market for NFL football and the owners are not going to want to lose that bay area rivalry with the 49ers. that was why they did not want the Raiders to leave Oakland the first time and why Davis sued the league.

    more importantly though is number two-Mark Davis has said that st louis does not work for him as an NFL city.He hasnt even spoken with anyone in st louis so dont believe any of those rumors on the Raiders moving there. For the Raiders what I see happening is they will end up sharing Levi stadium with the niners despite what mark Davis has said about not wanting to share with them.In the end he will swallow his pride and share Levi stadium so they can stay in the bay area until Oakland can get a new stadium which who knows how many years that will take.

    LA is so football starved for a team and they have the history of the Rams there that they will just so happy to have them back finally after being gone so long,they wont care if they 0-16 for the 10 years or so.

    while its true that LA has fickle fans who go with winners,that only holds true in baseball and basketball.while its true that they are not supporting the Lakers and are cheering on the Clippers because of them winning,that isnt true with football.see with basketball and baseball its different because they play so many more games in a season than in football where its only played once a week and they only get to see them 8 times a year.

    Here is the proof in the pudding that LA has passion for the Rams but not for the Raiders or Chargers.

    something else i ran out of time to post was here is the proof in the pudding that NFL football in LA will work if it is the Rams and ONLY THE RAMS to come back to LA.LA will support only one team the Rams,they bring in two like we hear and it will blow up in their faces and here is the proof in the pudding that it will work if it is only the Rams and nobody else.

    The first year the Chargers came into the NFL,their first year they played in LA.that was why they moved to san diego was because they could not compete with the Rams in attendance while there. Even though they finished that season with an 8-4 record and made it to the playoffs,their average crowds were just around 22,000. FACT.

    The Rams that same year finished the season with the opposite record of 4-8. Even though they had a losing season,they STILL averaged crowds of around 72,000. you can look it up yourself,sounds like a city with heart fro their team to me.:D

    Also the year the Raiders won the superbowl out there in LA,the very next year for their home opener they only drew a small measly crowd of just 46,269 there.

    what did the Rams draw that same season? 65,403 of a standing room only crowd which was pretty impressive itself since they were playing in a baseball stadium..

    The Oakland Raiders might have won a superbowl out there in LA but nobody in LA cared,they did not care because LA only cares about the Rams,nobody else.:D

    you should head over here to this thread and talk to the last poster on this thread of mine.no matter how many times you spell it out for him the Rams are coming back to LA,it just goes through one ear and out the other with him.:roll:

    the fact that YOU are from st louis and want the Rams to stay and even YOU have accepted it that the Rams are going back to LA,maybe he just might actually listen to you.:roll:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/sport...ere-excited-about-rams-coming-back-la-14.html

    btw for the reasons stated above, I seriously doubt the Raiders would come to st louis. my prediction is if you get a team back in st louis again,it will be the Jaguars because dont know if you are aware of this or not but Shad the owner of them, tried to get ownership of the Rams once that evil woman died but Kroneke swooped in and beat him to the punch.

    The Jags have a lease agreement with the city that runs out in either 2020 or 2030 not sure which so better hope for 2020 because that would not be too much of a wait for you where 2030 would be forever and actually i think you would have to wait about that long anyways because even if it was 2020,st louis would not be ready for a new team because they are millions in debt trying to payoff the current stadium so they would never be able to fund the new stadium.thats why it is a joke that they are even talking about getting a new stadium there in st louis anytime in the near future.:roll::roflol:

    I'm not sure why you insist on painting St. Louis in a bad light.

    We may lose an NFL team, at least we have access to plenty of water.

    Los Angeles is going bankrupt.
