I remember they had two LA teams back in the day known as the Rams and Raiders. They both moved out of town cuz the locals weren't exactly die hards. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Not quite. The Rams had a healthy fan-base in LA from 1946 (when they moved there from Cleveland) to the mid 80s when the Raiders moved it. They won the 1951 NFL Championship, went to the Super Bowl in 79 and had some damn good teams in their first run there.
The Raiders moving down there didn't help. There's the presence that comes with the Raiders (Raider Nation) and Al Davis was the type of person who just takes over whatever area he was in.
The bigger issue with the Rams was that Georgia Fronteire took over control of the team when her husband, Carroll Rosenbloom (Rosenbloom was a successful owner with the Colts and Rams), died in drowning accident in 1979, and promptly ran them into the financial dump. The Rams were poorly ran, and it eventually got to the point when they needed a new stadium, but they weren't able to get one in LA.
A major reason both teams left was due to the stadiums they were playing in. The Rams were playing at Anahim Stadium and they couldn't get a new stadium built in LA (there was a lot of animosity between Rams ownership, the fans and the LA area) and the Raiders were in the same boat with the Coliseum (Davis moved them in 82 and was already looking to get a new stadium built in 86). A dual stadium would have been the best option for both teams, but Georgia and Al wouldn't work together.
Georgia moving the Rams to St. Louis was a business decision (and the NFL initially blocked it) and the Raiders were looking to move back to Oakland by 1990 and ended up back in Oakland for the same reason (the stadium).
I couldn't disagree more. You're basically disproven on this cuz the new team is well run, is loaded with stars, has a new stadium that looks like a futuristic starship from the outside, yet the QB and coach both whined to the media about how they are getting drowned out with noise in their own house. They literally spent Monday calling their own house a "hostile environment". The fanbase for pro football in SoCal completely sucks imo. Always has. Always will.

It's a little farther to go. Not an easy drive like it is to LA. Plus Cowboys fans are more loyal than Rams fans and less likely to give up their tickets.

If we miraculously win this game is there anybody that would honestly want Jimmy to start next week?

Punting from their own endzone, with the kicker....
So I am really starting to think that Mike Shanahan's wife cheated on him...and Kyle is that result.
