Saints to LA

That is what Mortenson said could be happening if New Orleans and Louisiana don't build a new stadium by Feb. 1.

Uh, yeah. He ended that segment by answering the question about what are the odds of this happening...he said " 50/50....err, can I say 30/30???" He is just guessing like any of us could.

The NFL needs to get off this LA fetish.

Mr. Laz · 11-22-2004, 07:20 PM

fine with me ... maybe then everyone just shut the fuck up about LA

11-22-2004, 07:23 PM

Are we talking about LA or L.A.?

California doesn't need anymore teams. Saints should move to a state that currently doesn't have a franchise. Like Connecticut.

If they do move the Saints to LA would they consider doing NFL re-alignment?

LA in the NFC South wouldn't make a lot of geographical sense and more important to the TV people the all the other teams in that division are in the Eastern time zone.

I could see them moving the Rams into the NFC South and the "LA Saints" to the NFC West.

Just swap the Lambs to the South, even though they should move the Saints to the West, Rams to the North, Lions to the East, and the Cowgirls to the South.

Well it looks like they are moving since a stadium can't be built in little over 2 months

Well is it like that or is it that they must have a plans to build a new stadium passed by Feb 1?

The L.A. Saints?? That would just suck.

Is that why they left L.A.? I thought it was to avoid being shot...

NW Arkansas would be much better. It is the fastest growing area in the nation and will need a team soon.

Throw in Springfield/Branson area which is another one of the nation's fastest growing areas, the Ozarks could be a force in the future.
