Jet9 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 That's my point, if Woody played his cards right, he would have made Silver look like a friggn' hero and the WSS would have been the 2nd greatest structure in Manhattan behind the new WTC tower. You don't have the foggiest idea of NYC politics. Seriously, just stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no cards to play with Dolan and Silver in the mix. It was going to get blocked regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen X Jet Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 If Woody had guaranteed petty little Jimmy Dolan a guaranteed band gig at the new stadium, the Jets would have been golden. Jets fans should be boycotting Optimum, the Knicks and the Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It's always amazing to me when I read about other states or counties subsidizing or giving tax breaks for sports stadiums. Where I am from people would make a public suicide pact to drink hemlock rather than do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It is long overdue to have franchises in LA but I feel rather bad for the fans of teams that have supported their teams for years and years and have the rug pulled out from under them due to business decisions. Fans in all pro sports get the royal shaft, when their teams move it is a 'business decision', when players leave for higher money it is a 'business decision' when they possibly face tax burdens becasue rich sports teams insist on public funds for stadiums and arenas it is a 'business decision' but when it comes time for the fans to open the wallets for tickets and merchandise for teams run by bumpkins that put a horrible product on the field or ice for years and years they are supposed to 'support' their team and if they don't they are bad fans.

Raideraholic Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Rams/Chargers feels like the favorites to move to LA. Yes the Raiders look like they will get shutout from LA, but the NFL should take care of them for being the team that lost out. NFL owners will pay a big chunk of the Raiders new stadium. Wherever it is Oakland , or San Antonio Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 My second favorite team in the 70's and 80's.........The Los Angeles Rams. The had so many great players, Snow, Gabriel, McCutcheon, Deacon, Youngblood, Reynolds, Jackson, Hadl, Tyler, Cappelletti, Elmendorf, Olsen. Great teams. What about Vince Ferragamo?

Morrissey Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 The Los Angeles Relocation Committee made up of some heavy hitter owners actually recommended the Raider/Charger Stadium in Carson. committee actually recommended that plan prior to the 1st vote, it's pretty telling that it didn't seem to matter. and everyone ive talked to or heard from say that Carson would be a disaster and that Inglewood (near the Forum) would be the ideal location.

The best was the full name on the 2 Youngblood's on defense. Also, how about Billy Waddy, Frank Corral (for some reason I was a fan), Dennis Harrah, Jackie Slater, Nolan Cromwell, Fred Dryer ("Hunter") and Elvis Peacock (just for the name).

jetrider Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Makes more sense to not have two AFC West rivals share the same stadium (and town). No idea how they planned that to work. And too bad they can't find a better area for a stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
