Oh. My. Goodness. It seems that the St. Louis Rams will soon be up for sale and that owner Chip Rosenbloom is no longer insisting that the buyer keep the team in St. Louis. According to St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bernie Miklasz, Rosenbloom has been discouraged by the lack of interest from St. Louis area business leaders. No one has stepped forward with even tepid interest to see what it would take to purchase the Rams. The stadium lease here is not ideal and is easy to break. If some bigwig from another area comes in and makes a good offer, the Rams will likely be picking up and moving. And if St. Louis loses a second NFL team (after the Cardinals left in the late 80's), then the chances of getting a third shot in the NFL will be next to nothing.

Needless to say, there are many, many people that would like to see the Rams back in L.A. I would bet a rather large sum of money that NFL Comissioner, Roger Goodell is one of them. The league has been out of the nations 2nd bigget market since 1994. You bet your bottom dollar they would like to get back in and a return of the Rams, with a lot of tradition in L.A., would be a perfect fit.

I am from St. Louis and this is scary stuff for a big Rams fan. To read Miklasz's article in full, simply click here.
