[Neutronite]

For details:
Rams owner Frontiere passes away
Marshall Faulk former LA and St. Louis Rams RB spoke highly of her and saying that her players were her boys!

All I can say is R.I.P, great person, great personality.

I wonder if Steve Rosenbloom would agree with those sentiments?

Out of respect for the deceased... no comment... but I did not agree with the move from L.A....

I agree with you 100%.

 

[iceturkee]

me either, but i think she did a better job owning a team then marge schott did.

I'd like to confer with each team's respective fans before I'd go along with that. Other than Marge overloading her mouth near the end, she did a pretty good job of taking care of the Reds, and especially the local community (at least that's what I've heard here in Ohio).

I believe she was originally from St. Louis. I don't understand why the NFL still hasn't placed another team in LA, especially since it's the second largest TV market.

Same here.

Chris Everett...er I mean Jim Everett was never the same.

You are correct she was from St. Louis. Blame the political game in LA. USC is the FB team in LA. Mr. Wozniak when you get a chance check latimes.com/sports and you'll get close to an answer to your question.

If it hadn't for "the deal" she would have been owner of the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts by default instead of the Rams. With a due respect, I didn't care for her.

History, the NFL hasn't exactly been successful with the multiple teams they've had there.

Sometimes television size is not indicative of how successful a market would be for the NFL. If it was, then Green Bay would not have a team.

Btw. << I am from STL area>> so I am happy they are here. There is a lot of doubt how long they will stay though. We are hoping Kronkie (spelling) picks them up.

But Marshall never played in LA. he was a trade in 1999 from the Colts for a 3rd round draft pick.

I stand corrected-I thought he played in LA. IT turned out to be a SUPERB trade for just a third round draft choice, WOW:up

So, the Cardinals leave, and you guys get a better football team (Rams) in return! Can you explain how this was done? I was thinking about doing the same for Detroit. The Lions can leave, and we will gladly take another franchise. Even Miami. (With Parcells in charge, their upside is better than the Lion's as long as Millen is still in charge).

I can actually. Bill Bidwell wanted a stadium deal. Stl hates doling out money for stadiums. there were massive petitions signed trying to stop our baseball Cardnails from getting a new one.

Krokie and Frontiere came up with a deal where PSL sales would fund the Great white wail (the Edwards jones dome).

LoL, there is talk about a new replacement for that stadium trying to keep the Rams here. And already people are lining up in the street to stop a new stadium from being built.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I thought you guys just built that stadium a few years ago.

1995, it's only 13 years old lol!

 

[akodoreign]

Yeah, But most of Stl. hates it. LOL, but wont build a new one.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

What specifically do they not like?
