The Pegula effect

[swiper]

Really nice to see a LA relocation article that doesn't mention the Buffalo Bills.

Re: The Pegula effect

The Raiders don't have a place to play after next year, IIRC. The baseball A's are opening a new stadium and the old one is scheduled to be torn down. Plus the Davis family still owns territorial rights for L.A.

That almost seems obvious...and if Spanos can't get a new stadium in San Diego, then he moves 2 hours north in a second.

Why isn't someone offering Khan of Jacksonville a new home ? That franchise has been a total failure at the gate.

Jags are playing in London against Buffalo next year after playing the Cowboys there this year. Makes me wonder if Khan is eyeing London for his Jaguars.

I'd like for the Raiders to move to San Antonio so I can watch the the Bills in person!

Does the Irsay family still hold territorial rights to Baltimore?

If they do that, London could rebrand the Jaguars, without changing the name, to pay homage to Jaguar cars.

I think the Jags have a five year commitment to play in London & it will probably be extended.

Re: The Pegula effect

If two teams move to L.A. and those teams are the Chargers and Raiders, I could see a major problem there. I mean, they are both in the same division and would play each other twice-a-year. I imagine they'd play in the same home stadium. This situation could spell trouble in terms of fan behavior regularly.

Londoners would change the pronunciation, though. To Jag-U-ars.

Freaks.

I guess one of them could switch divisions.

Seattle used to be an AFC team.

And that is how the local Jaguar dealer pronounces it in commercials down here in Sarasota.

Re: The Pegula effect

Jacksonville has a pretty expensive 'out' clause. Two teams, same city, same division would be nuts (especially considering their AFL roots, I don't see San Diego or Oakland swapping into the NFC). I honestly don't think the NFL will ever catch hold in LA, but if the powers that be are stubborn give 'em one and see how it rolls instead of doubling down on stupid.

If London gets a team, they automatically become my second favorite team.
That said, I doubt NFL teams want to schedule that many games overseas.

I highly doubt the NFL owners would approve a move there. Am I mistaken, but I thought the owners had to sign off on any moves?

Re: The Pegula effect

Really, I think the Raiders move back to LA area and maybe the Bolts. Actually LA is theoretically big enough for a cross town rivalry, but really the way things work the Raiders will probably just play in the 49ers park and the Bolts will move to LA.
