There's talk the RAMs may leave St. Louis.  I wonder if there is a way to get them out quicker.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I liked the article, which I almost didn't read because it was about sports.

If it's glass, I would think it would sink to the bottom. 

I don't think I've ever let a bottle of liquor last more than a couple years (and it's not like anyone in my boring family would have ever handed booze down to me), so I can't add anything :(

I've really come to like Football.  Since it's about jocks getting hurt.

Missouri's really not big enough to have two teams.

I really don't like the way American sports are setup so that its normal for teams to just up and move.

Same.  It's funny how the reaction's the same everywhere though.  When Everton proposed moving to a new stadium in Kirkby there was huge outrage because it was 5 miles out of Liverpool city centre :lol:

Sadly we're still stuck in a stadium that isn't really good enough and detracts buyers and there's not really looking like the money for any other plans :bleeding:

I wouldn't say its normal, it doesn't happen that often. In fact very few teams moved in the last decade compared to the one before IIRC.

But as much as I hate one team moving in the 90s, I adore the fact that one team moved in the teens...  :cool:

:rolleyes:

Since the former was a team moving from Canada to America, and the latter was a team moving from America to Canada...

Well the market area goes beyond simply Missouri.  I'm told that Southern Illinois is Cardinal country.  I doubt it's also Ram country though.  Hell, I don't think St. Louis is really Rams country.  The Chiefs can be a decent team at times.  Though Kansas City baseball really shouldn't be mentioned in polite society.  St. Louis has an excellent baseball team, but it's football team is just awful.  I suppose that's the way of things.  Neither town can be good at both.  Sometimes they can fail at both though. 

I don't watch Hockey and there's no pro Basketball team in the area.  Though MU can play a mean game of Hoops.
