I feel bad for Philip Rivers.

Thank you Danny Woodhead for the points.

I do too.

Guy has been surrounded by loser coaches basically his entire career, and his best chance to win a Super Bowl was ruined by one of his own teammates, if Marlon McCree takes a knee after intercepting Tom Brady in 2006 the Chargers beat Manning and the Colts in San Diego the next week (like they always did) and beat the Bears in the Super Bowl.

I am officially on board for the Chargers moving to Carson though, San Diego is a garbage sports town, today proved it.

Oakland Coliseum, Qualcomm, and until recently Candlestick. California football teams have always been stuck playing in garbage, outdated stadiums.

Good thing the 49ers moved to Santa Clara and now are giving all their fans heat stroke down on the east side of the stadium.

One has to wonder who thought THAT was good idea.

Levi's Stadium is so bland. Looks 30 years old already.

 

[salsa man]

I hate it, and apparently the Carson stadium is going to have a similar design, which ****ing sucks.

Exactly.

 

[TheSentinel]

Wait, and i know i shouldn't be getting info from Wikipedia, but is there a chance we're going to get 2 football teams?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Dolphins already talking ****, lol. Patriots are gonna crush them.

Yeah, they mentioned Oakland and SD sharing a stadium. Being a rams' fan, this ides doesn't excite me much.

That stadium is awful looking. Build a new stadium with all that money and it looks like crap.

It's 49er fans.....who cares?

They're animals anyway. So let them lose their souls.

That stadium will never happen. I wouldn't worry about it.

I live about a mile from there. They've been talking about building something on that site for at least 25 years. It never happens.

I agree with you, but the Chargers announced on Saturday they would file for relocation to Los Angeles when the opportunity window opens in January.

They have to have somewhere to play if they indeed consummate the move.

I have come to the conclusion that the Pac-12 just doesn't have enough crap teams for one of them to ever win a national title in the near future.

Also not a single dominant team. Talent is well distributed in the Pac-12. Utah's QB finally had the stinker of a game that everyone knew was in him. In the Pac-12 there aren't many gimme's and when you turn the ball over, you lose.

The depth obviously doesn't help, but their isn't an elite team this year in the Pac-12. Stanford is probably the closest, but I think they would be soundly beaten by an Ohio St., Alabama, TCU type team.

I'm interested to see how Oregon does next season, is this just a one year bump in the road or are they going to fall off with all Kelly's players now graduated.

And USC will be back assuming they make the right coaching hire.

Stanford's offense simply isn't explosive enough. Give them a 10-point lead and watch them own the clock though by running the ball with offensive tackles in the game playing tight end.

I'm not sold on USC. They may win a Pac-12 South title in the next few years, but they are not a dominant team. What I see right now are at best a collection of several 2-loss teams over the next few seasons.

 

[Reclamation Project]

The talent pool and roster is stacked. All that's missing is a proper coach.

 

[kingsfan28]

Imagine if LA went from 0 teams to 3 NFL teams in the next few years.

We'd get the weirdest Page 2 salt thread.

I'm not really a chooser when it comes to which team moves here because I'm a desperate beggar but I kinda hope it's the Rams. St. Louis fans who keep pretending their city is a good football town annoy me.

Plus, YankeeLaker fan is against an LA football team and he's always on the St. Louis fans' side.

I'm a Charger fan but I have no interest in seeing them move here. They are San Diego's team. I highly doubt many fans will adopt them if they move here and I think a LOT of San Diego people will disown them.

Raiders are the Raiders. They'll draw the same 40-50K fans left over from when they were here before but nobody else will go to those games. It'll be a disaster from a corporate perspective (luxury suites, etc)

The Rams have the best chance to succeed but does anyone really think there is any kind of a groundswell of demand here for an NFL team? I know many people who follow the NFL, play fantasy etc and I've never heard a single one ever express any desire for a team here. There may be a demand from a league/corporate perspective but I don't see it from a rank and file fan perspective.

Just out of curiosity, did you know that they Chargers started in LA and named themselves after the "Charge" cheer at Doyers stadium?

Yes on them starting in LA, no on the name thing.
