This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

That is incorrect. The city came up with $1 billion by No Right Turn on Red

for a new stadium. The NFL continually moved the goalposts on how much money the city had to fork over, rejected their own relocation guidelines, and voted against the only city with a viable plan to keep their team, as Oakland and San Diego had nothing close to resembling St. Louis’ offer. This was shady business at its worst.

I said at the time they moved it wouldn’t have been so bad if Kroenke was just honest from the get go: “I want to move the Rams to LA for the money, and there’s not a damn thing any of you (St. Louis, the NFL) can do to stop me.” I would have still been mad, but lots of time and money would not have been wasted. I’m still convinced Kroenke would have sued the NFL if they voted against him.

[It was clear the Rams were goners when Kroenke rejected Shad Khan’s offer to buy part of the Rams, promising to keep them in town. That didn’t work with a move to LA.]

Speaking of lawsuits, I don’t know where in the process the City’s lawsuit against the NFL and Kroenke is, but I hope they don’t settle. I want to see the discovery. The City may not win, but the NFL will lose by the end.
