Not against it. Those poor players had to play on that shitty baseball field for all those years.

They need an upgrade.

Then you feel bad when St. Louis stole the Rams because of the shady dealings of St. Louis native Georgia Frontiere.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are also a long distance from the ocean.

How about changing their name to the Las Vegas Craps? Wait, the name really belongs to the Browns.

So why aren't you here championing the return of the Rams?   

Instead you make out like you work for the St. Louis chamber of commerce.     It's not an NFL town.   They allowed the Edward James Olmos dome to go to hell.  

Face it they done deserve a team .   They can root for the chefs.    

Unless the cardinals go back to St. Louis there shouldn't be another team there again.

Because it happened 20 years ago ,because La could have gotten an expansion team(like the Texans or Browns during that same time period), because the ownership didn't negotiate with the city at all. The way the ownership and the NFL handeled the situation was beyond douchey.

There was no negotiation because they were still within their lease.    The city didn't maintain the Edward james Olmos dome.    They violated the lease.    If the city followed the lease they would still have the Rams.

Welll owners, players, stock holders etc are people too... The City of St. louis and Oakland have not lived up to their obligations either, so who is screwing who here ?

Heard tonight that MLB nixed the idea of a baseball team in Las Vegas. I wonder if the NFL will follow suit?

Ohhhhhhh, so a pirate exhibit in Pittsburgh would validate their name then?

why would what the MLB does matter to the NFL ?  If they are worried about sports betting, I guess take away any New Jersey teams since they have sports betting in Atlantic City.

I mean they can call the team what ever they want. What's the problem with pirates anyways?

Pittsburgh sports do keep a consistent colour scheme.   I wonder if there was any chance the bengals could have been red and black or were the colours already chosen?   I know PB loves that orange.
