Giants co-owner Steve Tisch excited about NFL’s move to Los Angeles
A worker rides past the entrance of The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2016.
Torry Holt was an elite wide receiver for N.C. State and then for the Rams. The St. Louis Rams would win Super Bowl XXIV with the tandem of Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk and were heavy favorites to win again two years later, but would be upset by the upstart New England Patriots in Tom Brady’s first season as quarterback. The proposed Inglewood stadium that will house the newly transitioned teams will also not be completed until 2019.
Holt calls the move “bittersweet”.
“I think it’s dragging our city down”. While also being in the news amidst the Giants’ head coaching search, which he expects to come to an end this week, he spoke about the decision made by the NFL owners to allow the return of professional football to Los Angeles.
As for the Rams, prior to moving to the Midwest in 1995, the Rams had played in L.A. for almost half a century.
It’s official: The Rams are leaving St. Louis and going back to Los Angeles, and there’s a chance the San Diego Chargers will be right behind them. If they decide to stay in San Diego for the 2016 season, then the January 2017 deadline goes into effect and we’ll look ahead to Madden 18.
“Today is an opportunity for a fresh start”, he said.
“I strongly believe we can get this done”, Faulconer said. The Raiders played in Los Angeles from 1982-94 and now split a facility with baseball’s Athletics, the last remaining NFL-MLB stadium. Not only does this mean the Chargers saga in San Diego isn’t over, but that a stadium vote that San Diego declined in September may get another push for November.
CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora has reported that NFL owners officially approved the Rams’ relocation in a 30-2 vote. The Raiders got something, not almost as much as they expected or wanted.
In 2007, Antonio Villaraigosa, who was the Los Angeles Mayor at the time, admitted to having an affair with Telemundo reporter Mirthala Salinas.
“Anything they give you is better than nothing”, Scott McKibben, executive director of the board that runs the Coliseum, told the Associated Press. He said the move set “a awful precedent” not only for St Louis but for all communities that have “loyally supported” National Football League franchises.
“That’d be fun. We won’t quite feel at home because we’ll be in the visitor’s locker room, but that’ll be fun to be there”, said Carroll.
