Again??Ted Pellitts said:the saints relcoated AGAIN! crazy stuff
MattMorris said:ok, the only topic i'll post like this...
where should the next NFL franchise be located?
i say Los Angeles is an obvious place.... but i think Hawaii will get one, maybe called Hawaii Waves (like my RFL fantasy team) love that name...
maybe NY Jets should move somewhere else, they play in Giants Stadium etc. why not move to another city all together? i would if i were the NY Jets boss
MattMorris said:THe ARU overlooked Australia's second largest city so....
the saints draw poor crowds because it is a poor organisation. moving it to LA will not solve the problem.jls-roos said:I think the most likely would still be the Saints. Then for the re-alignment they could put Saints in the NFC West and move the Rams to the South.

the rams were an LA franchise for nearly 50 years. the lack of a decent stadium prompted their move but, St Louis is a good market for them - a football town. if nt for the stadium issue, the raiders would have stayed as well. i'm sure they'd prefer to call LA home than have to share the SF Bay area with the 49ers again.
fair point but, i think LA football fans are pleading for a team to grace the ciy again & the raiders have history in the city. the demise of football in LA was purely due to game-day accommodation. the org's didn't want to fund the stadium on their own, and at the time the city didn't want to pay for it either.JF_Bay_22_SCG said:But Oakland are as far attached from San Francisco as Redfern is to Darling Point. San Francisco = foo foo shi shi, finesse, skill, people turning up to games in designer clothes and dress leather jackets, perfect passing quarterbacks, fleet footed wide receivers. Oakland= people without teeth, murderors, bikie gang members, hoods, working class grit, tough tight ends and running backs, junkyard football. I can tell you from experience, Oakland is a damn messy neighbourhood, even if it is only 16 miles from "the City" over the Bay Bridge or on the BART.
Los Angeles is a bigger more plastic version of Sydney. Fake people with pink poodles eating diet Mexican and goat's milkshakes because they are better for the image. A working class battler-type franchise like the Raiders would never have worked in such an image-obsessed city as LA. Oakland is home for the team, and always should be.
would believe the Rams began life in Cleveland?? & the Cardinals spent time in Chicago?? did you also know the Chargers had a brief stint in LA, and the Chiefs were called the Dallas Texans? certainly does get confusing. however, the NFL would be happy with the current 32-member setup. Don't forget, these org's are businesses and companies in the true sense of the word. NFL cannot flick one if it is still a going concern.JF_Bay_22_SCG said:But PLEASE don't just move a franchise without changing the name. If they want a team in LA, please start from scratch. It is complete joke that the Baltimore Colts are in Indianapolis, the LA Rams are now in St Louis, the St Louis Cardinals are in Phoenix, the Cleveland Browns are really actualy the Baltomore Ravens, even though a new Cleveland Browns was started in their absence. The Houston Oilers became the Tennessee Titans. And Tampa Bay Buccaneers will soon become Manchester United no doubt.
