The Rams are now the 3rd-most valuable franchise in the NFL

I hear Walmart is closing between 100-200 stores. Inglewood project repercussions? Unrelated?
Hmmmm....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

And IF you believe this I have some great swamp land you LOVE!!
( I was a Manager for Walmart for a couple of years before I retired! Kroenke is a picker compared to the Walton Family!!)

So I keep hearing this from west coast folks but apparently just being in LA is all it takes to be a winner. Just the sun and fun and proximity to all the beautiful people is all that's needed. Balls stop being dropped, tackles are a sure thing, FG attempts fly straighter...

...I'm really excited to see how this works!!!

It works. Stay tuned.

Well, lets just hope our beloved Rams get daily news coverage on TV.

Well, since they will have the NFL studios in their house... they should.

Does this mean Chris Berman will have to show some love?

"...man it pours."

I do love southern California. I've never spent any time in the northern part, but I'd like to.

Btw- it's not so much the comments from posters here, but I actually had a conversation with a drunk tool who was trying to convince me that the players will play better out there... ok.

I do believe the team is primed to take the next step and I believe that Kroenke will spend whatever is necessary to get the team as competitive as possible.

I think within a year or two, the Rams will be talked about as a contender. I just don't believe it will have anything to do with where they are located.

IMO I think in Free Agency it gives them an edge and the way some of the players are today, it's all about their branding and IMO Hollywood can't hurt from that perspective.

Lets just hope it makes Berman to rumble and stumble into retirement :mrburnsevil:

Now that I completely agree with.
FA should be better. Also, the spotlight will be extra bright for a while... so I do think that could also be a motivator... on the flip side, there is a lot to do out there besides football.... hopefully that doesn't result in any distrations.

Unrelated, they're closing a bunch of small stores, so they can divert more traffic to their superstores, it makes them more money, because they're paying less employees, but getting roughly the same amount of customers.

Well they made some pretty bad mistakes opening some of these stores. In Kansas some of the stores they are closing are barely a year old. I agree its a small blip in the grand scheme, but definitely some bad decisions.

I'm pretty certain that Kroenke doesn't make those decisions though, he's married into the family, he's not on the Walmart Board of Directors or anything, neither is his wife.

I agree. Just felt like continuing the Walmart discussion.
