CFB >>>>>>>>>>> NFL

Heck, if it wasn't for fantasy football, I'd watch maybe 1 game per week (that being the Jags lol)

Spanos deserves to wallow in the crap for the decision to dis San Diego after more than a half-century of unconditional love. The Rams will be okay, the Chargers are effed.

The Chargers are playing in a soccer specific stadium that holds 27,000 seats. They had 25,000 in attendance, but surprised they couldn't sell out.

New stadium is set to hold 70,000. They better hope and pray they get moderately close to 70k or the NFL will look like idiots...more so.

Raiders in Vegas will draw about the same amount of people

I think they will draw ok, but none will be Raiders fans. It's gonna look like the London games where the stands are a rainbow of different jerseys. They will be a tourist attraction.

College always draws more than Pro, and watching a Pro game in a college stadium sucks, and vice versa. I've gone to a few USF games at Raymond James, and after growing up going to the Swamp it feel sterile. There is a reason that Raymond James will never have as many seats as BHG. College fans are much more loyal to their teams, and the games are more of an event live.

The new stadium will be as sick as it gets. I think the NFL sacrificed the Chargers and the city of San Diego for a chump who would join in and help pay for the Rams' new digs. The Rams have a legacy in LA, and I think they will be fine as long as they can start to be competitive. But, I do not think that the Chargers will last.

Yep. I though the raiders made more sense moving to San Antonio before Vegas.

How many times has LA had and lost teams because they didn't get much support... so now they have two? Good thinking, boss.

Absolutely. What club of dumbazzez sat around and thought, "Yeah! State of the art football stadium complex!" they will have to charge an arm and a leg for people to attend. Seriously, how many times has LA lost teams because nobody went? The NFL and network executives sit around and masturbate over the potential to have a NY vs. LA team for the superbowl for stratosphere ratings. It's not going to happen as the history of LA teams already proves. This makes Sisyphus look like a piker.

They had two teams in the early 90s and lost both... now two teams will work?

Did the NFL not understand that L.A. didn't even notice they were gone? How many people in L.A. are fans of the rams or chargers? I bet it is a tiny, tiny number. This was a stupid move.

Maybe, but if I'm a tourist in Las Vegas the last thing I'm doing is blowing a few hours and a few hundred bucks to watch dull NFL football.
