are they going to be joined there by the Chargers and Raiders?
How do you let the Rams leave St. Louis? Isn't St. Louis a pretty good pro sports city?

Isn't St. Louis a pretty good pro sports city?
They didn't have a choice, La or St Louis, where are you going to go? Its a great baseball town, not so sure its a great sports town.
Worst attendance in the NFL last year by a significant margin. They filled 80.2% of their stadium, 2nd worst was Oakland at 86.5%.
(Sidenote: man, how awesome would it be if SU could fill 80% of our stadium)
It's really a pretty crappy franchise and that isn't going to change just because they moved it to LA.
There may be a short honeymoon period in LA, but that won't change if they don't put a winning product on the field.
The real news is they still filled 80% of the stadium when they haven't had a .500 record since 2006 and haven't been to the playoffs since 2004. They only made the playoffs 5 times in their entire 21 year tenure in St. Louis.
They've had as many seasons with 3 or fewer wins (4x) while in St. Louis as they had with 10 or more wins (4x). It's really a pretty crappy franchise and that isn't going to change just because they moved it to LA.
The Rams have talent, they just need to find a qb.
you can say this about almost every team in the league. The rarest commodity in sports is an NFL caliber QB. They just dont make them anymore.

Not every team, the Rams have a good defense, one of the best backs in the league, and some good receivers, they are close.

And an offensive line and a wide receiving corps.
They do have an elite punter.
St. Louis was just named the best sports town in America by the WSJ.
They have pretty good receivers.
Based on what? Its a Cardinals town.
Thats based on winning pct, and the Cardinals have been the best run franchise in sports for the last decade.
The Cardinals aren't the only reason for the high winning percentage. St. Louis has been named the best sports town in the past by other publications using different criteria. You said you weren't sure if it's a great sports town. I am.
