Saw this on ESPN News.

It looks like the Owner of the St. Louis Rams wants to sell the team. A lack of local buyers could see the franchise move to another city.

Yes! That is a great idea. Have Red McCombs or some other local billionaire buy them and bring them here to SA. I'd be the first in line to get season tickets!

:lol

you read my mind! LA would finally get its football team back!

If Jerrry Buss would be a wonderful owner for a pro football franchise. He would bring in the right kind of people to build a winner because you can't survive in LA unless you win...its all about winning and nothing else! :hat

Red likes to talk shit about how other people screwed our chances of bringing a team to town. Now is the time for Red to put up or shut up!

If Red was to somehow buy the Rams and bring them to San Antonio, a new team name and team color should take place. Let the people have San Antonio choose the name and new color scheme. Now that would be nice. If that happened what would name and color scheme would you suggest?

The name I would steal from BASEketball, and go with the San Antonio Defenders. As for color scheme... I don't know.

I hear the guy who owns the Blues is making a move to buy the Rams.

The St. Louis Rams have an opt-out clause in their lease which states that if the Edward Jones Dome is not a top-eight NFL facility in terms of revenue generation in 2014, the Rams can terminate the lease early and then are free to play anywhere starting with the 2015 season.

If San Antonio had a top-flight NFL facility at least funded and ready for construction in that time frame, there is no reason they couldn't be in play for a team, be it the Rams, or another struggling franchise like the Jaguars or Bills.

The Los Angeles suburb of Industry is finalizing plans to build a stadium near the CA 57/CA 60 interchange; currently it is working through legal challenges from area residents who do not want to live near an NFL stadium. Those challenges are expected to fail. However, the stadium sponsors are holding back from any discussions with the Rams owenrship group until the legal wrangling is over.

The Bills are thought to be headed to Toronto eventually, since owner Ralph Wilson has stipulated the team will be put up for sale upon his death, the Bills already are playing a series of games in Toronto, and wealthy interests in the city want the Bills there. However, Rogers Centre is considered to be too small and out-of-date to be a permanent NFL facility, so either major renovations or a new stadium would be necessary.

Al Davis says he holds exclusive rights to L.A. and will move the Raiders back there if they have a stadium, but he is a confused, senile man who does not know what day it is. He might accidentally move the Raiders to Boise, Idaho.

The NFL experiment in Jacksonville is foundering; it seems the market simply is too small for pro football to make money, so one figures eventually they will be headed elsewhere.

Just do us a favor --- slip him a tranquilizer when he starts screaming and cursing about the blue turf.
