Episode 218 - The LA Situation Continues...

It's now been about a year since the NFL gave St. Louis - and Mike as a fan of St. Louis' NFL team - the finger by allowing the team to move to Los Angeles.  They also kept two other teams, both in California, in limbo as their stadiums crumble with no hope in sight.

The NFL's blatantly corrupted and rigged relocation process resulted in the following:
  • lower TV ratings in Los Angeles for the former St. Louis team than in St. Louis (8.8 in LA, 8.3 in STL)
  • a last-chance stadium bill in San Diego that failed to get 50% support
  • stadium deals being discussed and seriously considered in Las Vegas
  • (this officially happened shortly after the podcast recording) the Chargers moving to LA as their second team (for the morons insisting that the team change their name, the team originally started in LA as the AFL Chargers)
We discuss the situation in detail here.

 
We also end with an update on Mike's search for a new NFL team.  Still no decision has been made, but one team did find its way back on the list based on its owner seeing the reality of this mess: Indianapolis.

Fair use: Senor Stan, "Jackin' It in San Diego," and Arsenal fan interviews make appearances here.
