If Kroenke wins and it's the Rams moving to LA, do the Chargers and Raiders fight each other to see which one of them can be the other tenant and leave the other one to their own devices? Sounded like Jerruh was backing Kroenke's bid yesterday. Knowing the NFL, they probably side with Kroenke and than use the vacant St.Louis market to pressure San Diego and Oakland into building new Stadiums. If they do get a stadium in LA, they'll need that attractive open market as a threat to keep making other cities upgrade their stadiums. That unused LA market got a lot of smaller cities to eat a lot of money to build fancy stadiums.

Is San Antonio still considered a viable market? I think you'd probably see the Chargers move out of the division. The last thing anyone needs is Raider fans and Niner fans getting into it with each other twice a year.
