“Los Angeles is still without a team, and a loophole in the Rams’ lease allows them to move as early as 2014 if the Edward Jones Dome is not deemed among the top quarter of all NFL stadiums. Though just 14 years old, the dome is fast becoming one of the league’s older venues, and getting it into the top quarter seems unlikely.”

Jerry World will be the last stadium built for at least a decade. There's labor trouble brewing, and both sides will lose in this fight. Now that it's millionaires vs. billionaires, the average fan is going to tune them out.

There's plenty of college football to occupy the average fan today.

“There's plenty of college football to occupy the average fan today”.
Amen to that. Plus the fact the the Lions are regularly “blacked out” here in Detroit. I do like the idea of Rush purchasing a NFL team. That may rekindle my interest in the league. That and the lions are on a roll! :)

There’s a reason LA does not have an NFL team; it’s the bogeyman every owner uses to extort money from the local politicians. Whenever a lease is up or the owner just wants a shakedown, all he has to do is start the rumor of moving to LA. It’s all a bluff; the rest of the owners have no interest in having a team in LA as it would kill their nice extortion racket.
