The audacity of the NFL: alienating two markets for a white whale that hasn't shown any indication that it even wants pro football.

Why not expansion? Oh yeah, because three owners wanted out of their respective cities.

And yet the NFL bent over BACKWARDS to keep the goddamn Jaguars in fucking Jacksonville.

Technically speaking, the Chargers have not yet moved to L.A., but it seems inevitable at this point. Basically they're holding San Diego hostage. I'd tell 'em to go fuck themselves.

It's good news for this Broncos fan. I despised them before, now the family members I have out in SD will have just as much reason to despise them as much as I do.

The Chargers are definitely going too. This isn't about failed markets, because St. Louis was willing to pony up for a new stadium and back to the wall SD would probably capitulate too. The owners in St Loo and SD wanted to leave and get a slice of that mythical LA market. They did nothing to drum up support in their current areas and are leaving without having lifted a finger.

Kroenke went out of his way to destroy the St Louis market, only to blame them for not doing enough on the way out. A total dick move.

Makes me shudder a bit as to what his family might do with the Avs someday...
