Forget Hart. They need to get pressure on Lomax, otherwise, without Shields, Roy Green will go nuts on us.

Yup, I've struggled with that one too, although I do remember that Hart retired!
Now you don't have to!
I feel bad for Oakland. That stadium is a disaster.
Actually the Holiday Bowl was at San Diego's stadium, and Mike Lucas said that place is the worst p.o.s. in the land.
San Fran and Oakland should share a stadium.
L.A. and S.D. should share a stadium located halfway between them.
I though Rich Stadium was the worst - and it's pretty bad. But Qualcomm is and older dual purpose stadium and is terrible for both.

SF and Oakland shouldn't even share a state. That's a parking lot gunfight among fans waiting to happen.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
it's not a fair fight. You can't take a cheese slicer to a street fight.

Despite the national reputation, the last few years it's been the 9ers fans that have been more dangerous, at least in terms of parking lot violence.it's not a fair fight. You can't take a cheese slicer to a street fight.

This story isn't over.
It now seems evident that the NFL's preference is for just one team to relocate to the Los Angeles area.
Rooney emphasized the need to establish a program that will allow the communities of San Diego and Oakland to keep their franchises. McNair similarly stressed the opportunity for the Chargers and Raiders to find a solution in their current markets.
While Goodell revealed the $100 million assistance package, he did not disclose the relocation fee.
Here's what else we learned from the Los Angeles Rams' relocation press conference:
1. Goodell raved about the plans for Kroenke's Inglewood property as a stadium that will be the centerpiece of "one of the greatest complexes" in the sports world. It was important to the NFL that the stadium suit the Los Angeles market, doubling as an entertainment complex.
2. Spanos offered no clues as to whether he plans to exercise his option and join Kroenke in Inglewood. "I'm going to take a day off," a weary Spanos said. "I'm going to look at all of our options." The City of San Diego is hosting a June vote for $350 million in public funding toward a new facility to replace Qualcomm Stadium.
3. While Davis congratulated Kroenke on the owners' approval, he conceded that the results were "not a win" for the Raiders. "We're looking forward to giving Raider Nation a proper home," Davis added. "Don't give up. We'll get there." At this point, it appears the Raiders will be playing the 2016 season in Oakland.
I heard on Rich Eisen's show that there is real enthusiasm in the NFL for Item #1 in Joe's quote. Entertainment complexes are apparently the next big revenue driver, in addition to owning the overall stadium revenue and hosting other events. If the Chargers move with them, the stadium would need to be scaled back since Spano's pockets aren't as deep.
Weirdly, that factor might help smaller franchises get help to stay in their current cities. I wonder how long that will last.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
teams better figure out pretty fast (if they haven't already) how to make their facilities attractive for other events. 10 events a year is an absurdity, especially if the locals are paying taxes for it.

I was stunned it wasn't a bigger issue in Brown County last time.

I think that's why they had (Have?) a lottery that gives Brown County residents a shot at Packer tickets. Felt they needed to allow the taxpayers to get something out of it.
So we come full circle. When I was but a lad, I saw my first NFL game in Tiger Stadium in Detroit. They just ran chalk lines right over the dirt of the infield, and there was about a seventy-five yard space behind the sidelines up to the first row of seats in the stadium's left and right field corners.
Little did we know it was an "entertainment complex." Later, I watched the Packers play the Lions in the old Pontiac Silverdome, which also hosted monster truck shows and tractor pulls. Another "entertainment complex."
Maybe they could host a seventh-grade science fair at Lambeau Field, and - wala! - another "entertainment complex" will be born.

They used to do this at the Metrodome too. "We're gonna turn the metrodome into A MUD PIT!!! Daddy Don Garlits with be there with his dragster! Miss Universe!!" It was all aimed at the University intellectuals.
Motocross, Fritz, motocross.

If the Rams do go back to LA, I hope they use the "blue and white" outfits for their throwbacks. I always favored the simplistic look over the blue/yellow deal.
