Bills or Jaguars targeted to move to LA

[SlyPokerDog]

There's a company that plans to build a stadium outside of L.A., and that company also has plans to steal a couple of NFL teams from other cities. Their intended targets of thievery: the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars. From the AP:

Majestic Realty Co. managing partner John Semcken said the company is still considering at least seven franchises for a new stadium some 25 miles east of Los Angeles.

They also include the San Francisco 49ers, San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams and Oakland Raiders.

But he said the Jaguars and the Bills are at the top of the list because they play in small markets that tamp down their earning potential and because they have little hope of building larger venues in their home regions.

At the very least, that last part is true. Building a bigger stadium for Jacksonville football fans would be like building a bigger public library for high school drop-out crystal meth tweakers. It's just not going to get much use.

It's kind of a strange announcement, and if I were a Jaguars or Bills fan, I'd take it a little personally. Basically, the L.A. people have just announced that they hate you and are planning on taking something that you love. That's just not very nice.

There's no reason to panic yet, though, as we're a long way from anything like that happening. A lot of people have wanted to put a team in L.A., and every single one of them has failed to get their act together. When it comes to landing an NFL team, L.A., for about fifteen years now, has been all talk.

I wouldn't worry too much about it just yet, Bills and Jags fans. Of course, it probably wouldn't hurt to start, you know, filling your stadium, either.

If this goes through, then the homicide rate would probably increase due to all of the drunk, pissed of Bills fans.

You stay classy, Los Angeles.

The biggest hurdle to bringing a team to LA has just been crossed: The Stadium. No team wanted to come to play in an old stadium and up until recently environmental protection (or something like that) blocked the development of a new one.

New Stadium = Los Angeles NFL team

I'd love to see LA get a team again. Boot the Rams out of the NFC West and add the LA team.

Actually, I'd like to see the NFC and AFC west changed to:
Seahawks
Raiders
Chargers
49ers

Rams
Chiefs
Broncos
Cardinals

The new stadium they are building is in butt fuck egypt, a good 30-45 minutes out of LA. Most people in "LA" will be too fucking far, its going to be those fucking dirt people from the IE watching the games.

Interestingly, both of these teams might be looking at drafting Tim Tebow.....in the first round, no less.
