But agree to disagree, even though I'm right and you're wrong.

:D

My only argument is Steve Ballmer. When Ballmer bought the Clippers, he was (and still is) the richest owner in the world. The NFL has a solid salary cap, and long-standing TV contracts. I just don’t see why Bezos would be able to intimidate anyone into bowing down to his authority, unless you mean some behind the scenes stuff.

I still think the best use of the Vegas stadium is to not have a specific team affiliated with it; use it as the weekly Sunday night venue. Stuff Spanos in a cannon and shoot his ass into a brick wall, return the Chargers to San Diego under new ownership, and the Raiders to slums of Oakland where they belong. The league makes enough money to foot the cost of a new stadium in San Diego as an apology for ****ing over the fan base.

Of course, none of this will ever happen.

Qualcomm is a pile of sand and we're well in motion to build a 40K seat stadium in place of it for the SDSU Aztecs.

The plan I saw for SDSU included an expansion option to ~55k to support an NFL team.

I do not know of a city in the US that can handle an NFL team

They can move here and play in Sporting Park. They're used to a stadium of that size.

It could also go to Canada or London.

You can't do Canada or London. Players are not going to do that.

I can't think of a single good reason the Rams would let them out of that deal.

It's extra money for them and the Chargers are 0 threat to their market.

LA is going to have 2 teams for a long while.

Is Portland a viable option?

Only reason would be if the St. Louis lawsuit is worse and they can make a compromise by sending the Chargers to St. Louis

I thought the St. Louis dome was in bad shape and needed to be torn down/replaced

Only about 2 and half to three hour drive to Seattle.

It needs to be replaced but its viable for short term use.
