The Rams to move back to LA

Really sucks for their fans in St. Louis. But, this will keep the Seahawks in the NFC, which I personally prefer. I just have a dislike for the AFC West. I don't know why, but the dislike is there.

Link? not komo4 and not in passing buttfuckers

    I used to be a big Hawks fan in the 80s, then Behring tried to move them to LA...then I gave up on them.
    Then I became a Husky fan.
    The NFL teams are just for-profit corporations, inevitably following the $$$. The Seahawks will eventually move as well.

    I actually liked being in the AFC West more than the NFC West. Growing up, my hatred for the Broncos and Raiders ran deep. I can't really hate the NFC West teams. That said, I'm glad they aren't going to keep jerking the Seahawks around. They've really excelled since they've been in the NFC West, no need to mess with what's working.

    Behring ran a lot of fans off. When he bought the team there was a multi-year wait list to get season tickets. By the time he sold, black outs were in play. Treated the fans like shit, put a shit product on the field, and tried to just pick up and move without league approval. FTG

    Is the NFC just shittier, or did the Seahawks get good at the right time?

    I'm happy for Seattle no more 1pm est games in the west. That's just not fair.

    the apostle watched the last play of last week's playoff game with the sound off. It was mildly interesting. that is about as far as I go with the NFL. Middle aged women with blonde hair and athletic bodies run singles ads pictured with seahawks t-shirts on. They LOVE the hawks, but you must be of a certain height, like teenagers, actually have a job (ruling out everyone on this site), be able to spell appropriately.

    fun fact of the day......
    When Al Davis moved the team back to Oakland in 1995, he sued the NFL, claiming the league sabotaged the team's effort to build a stadium at Hollywood Park in Inglewood.

    I'm sure it has more to do with the Hawks than their division, but I just saw today that the Hawks had the easiest schedule in the NFL in 05, 06 and 07. I don't know if anyone's ever had the softest schedule three years running. Definitely no one in the AFC West.

    Considering that the Seahawks won the division back in 2010 or whatever at 7-9, and that the 49'ers have been terrible outside of the three-year Harbaugh window, it seems like they've definitely benefitted from transferring conferences. The Raiders have been terrible for years now, but the other three AFC West teams have had pretty good runs.

    The mid-2000s Seahawks were a product of a weak division, but the Wilson Seahawks have won the DVOA Natty for the past 4 years I believe. That's just a good team.

    "The move scuttles plans for a proposed $250-million stadium to be built adjacent to Hollywood Park in Inglewood as a new home for the Raiders and possibly UCLA. Davis' action comes less than three months after the Rams left Anaheim for St. Louis and leaves Los Angeles without a pro football team for the first time since 1945."

    Didn't Irwindale pay Favis a $10,000,000 non-refundable escrow payment just to be "formally considered"?

    Easiest money Davis ever made.
