“So...finance the whole LA thing himself, or St. Louis dips into public funds to build something? Isn’t the first “disgraceful shitbag” thing better?”

I like where this is going.

Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would’ve been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.

Back in ‘82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile.

Fucking brilliant!

Wow.

If you’re a right-wing piece of shit (like half the people I work with), then yes.

That’s the best I could deduce.

This deserves far more stars than my lonely one.

Honest question, since I’ve never been there; is it really in that bad a shape that they NEED a new stadium? Is it seeping shit like in Oakland? My thinking is no.

Although I don’t disagree that NFL owners and brass have a hard-on for putting a team in LA, while listening to MDSR yesterday they cited a poll that said 64% of people polled wanted the Rams to come back. Now, they didn’t specify if the poll only asked those who were interested in the NFL or if it was a question to…
