26CornerBlitz Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Better them than us! It still sucks for their fans even though the franchise originated in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It still sucks for their fans even though the franchise originated in LA. That's very true. At least most of them get to live in San Diego. That's some consolation. I'd feel worse if it was St Louis. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Amen Augie. I agree I hate to see any team move, but every story about LA, makes me say a quick prayer of thanks to the Pegulas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 San Diego is such a nice city, why do their sports suck? We might not have the weather but we have a good sports scene here in B-lo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Recall who stole the Buffalo Braves. Still stinks. By the way, why is the NFL so against expanding? The NFL's official position has been as follows: We want to return to the Los Angeles market. We want to have a team in London some day. We want our teams to stay in their existing markets. We do not want to expand. Can't do all four. Wonder which position is BS? Edited October 24, 2015 by Arkady Renko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will expand. sixteen teams in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to charge any team going to LA a relocation fee, so they will get money and not have to divide up the TV rights among more owners.

unbillievable Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Two other teams are expected to file relocation papers to LA in January. Filing in October seems a bit early. The Chargers may be trying to pressure the city of San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If rather see the Rams go back and pretty sure that will still happen. I would not be surprised if Raiders quickly do the same. Crazy to think that we had that Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads for so long, though I think the fear of the Bills moving was worse than the reality of the situation as the odds were slim. If not Pegula, some other group would have come together or Golisano would have bought them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not want to expand. Can't do all four. Wonder which position is BS? The talent pool is already diluted to the point where the on field product is inferior. There are a few GREAT teams, and everyone else kinda sucks. The NFL CAN'T expand W/O further diminishing the quality of the game. Personally, I think that's why we see such f'd up officiating nowadays throughout the league. Refs throw flags to keep games competitive more often, than not.

Augie Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 This is an odd thought, but I hope they wouldn't change the Chargers uniforms. I doubt they would, but I saw the Packers throw back unis last week and it made me want to change the channel. Did they EVER really have such bad uniforms?

If they're going to switch, it should be back to the powder blue jerseys that are just outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 San Diego is such a nice city, why do their sports suck? We might not have the weather but we have a good sports scene here in B-lo The stadium is terrible, prices are terrible, and frankly there's better things to do. Even though it'd suck if they moved, any die hard Bolts fan will have no problem driving 2-3 hours to the game in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
