Moving to St. Louis would make more sense if the Rams decide to go back to Los Angeles, but even I have my doubts about that happening. L.A. is not a football town. It's not even a baseball town *see Dodgers bankrupcy.   I heard the following on Rich Eisen's podcast last Novemeber...   They want a commitment from a team before they even break out the shovels, and I believe they want a discounted rate on the team itself and some kind of ownership in the team. Khan bought the team for 760 million dollars. Why would he turn around and sell it for a discounted rate and give up 100% ownership when he's openly said he's wanted to own an NFL team his entire life? Not to mention it would be 4 years before the stadium was complete. Throw in the fact (either ING or AIG can't remember which acronym) wants a commitment before they even build it and it's just not going to happen. Khan wants to give it a go in Jax. If we were to move to L.A. he would have to publicly commit to the stadium before it was even built automatically killing his market here in Jax. I don't believe anyone can afford to los 4 years of business JUST to move to a "better market". No way the Jags move to L.A..
