As an LA resident, I can happily say we don’t give two shits about either of these teams. We’ve been without an NFL franchise for 20 years, and you know what? It’s been great. Hell, there’s even a section on the Wikipedia page on the NFL in Los Angeles titled “Civic Disinterest.”

“Terrorist” and “sad, pathetic idiot” are not mutually exclusive.

I recognize that I’m nit-picking here, but first marriages don’t come with a 50 percent divorce rate. Never have. Tara Parker-Pope’s book For Better has a great breakdown of the research on the topic. Kudos for pointing out the influences of age and affluence, but the starting point is still wrong.

Well, five fewer points per possession will definitely reduce a team’s score. That's, what, a 280-points-per-game dip?
