Vikings turn down L.A. offer
The Vikings are focused on trying to get a stadium built in Minnesota and have turned down overtures to meet with a billionaire developer who would like an NFL team in Los Angeles, a team official said. Ed Roski Jr. wants to build an $800 million stadium in City of Industry, Calif., in hopes of luring a team. Roski has made attempts to meet with the Vikings and owner Zygi Wilf in recent months, said Lester Bagley, Vikings vice president of public affairs/stadium development.

Move the Jets to LA. Nobody in NY likes them.
O wait, strike that. That'd be 2 less automatic wins each year for the Patriots.

I can't imagine Minnesota without the Vikings. That would be like Pittsburgh without the Steelers. Peanut butter without jelly. Unthinkable.

The freaks in California will never accept and NFL team. Football is too violent for them, but they should make an offer to the Eagles. Because the brand of football the Eagles play is not really of an NFL caliber and it would be an upgrade in fans.
Philly fans worst in the NFL
Califreaka fans a bunch of cross-dressing diluted drug induced freaks with delusions of granger.
I guess philly fans and the freaks in California are the same...

I hope it is true. Sometimes it is what they say right before they put the screws to you.

Maybe Arizona could move - then Leinart will feel like he's playing for USC again.

It's much more likely that you'll see the LA Jaguars before you see the LA Vikings.
Jacksonville is the only NFL stadium that I know of where they put tarps over entire sections of seats so that they can (only occasionally) claim a "sellout".

Doesn't USC count as a pro team playing in a really weak division? How many teams have to fail there before they realize no one cares about pro football in LA?
