I'm not a fan of moving the Bills to LA. First of all, they're a cold weather team and they've been a cold weather team forever. Second, they've been to Super Bowls and they've had great players there. I don't think that moving the Bills is a good idea. Despite the fact that they're down right now, I can't get on board with the NFL trying to move them. I'm by no means a fan, but that's too big of an adjustment for me.

The Jags I think would work. They don't seem overly tied to Jacksonville. Also, they have an exciting Running Back if he could ever stay on the field. And Leftwich is coming into his own. I'm a big Leftwich fan. I wouldn't mind seeing them move to LA.

Finally, the Saints?! WTF? How f-ed up would that be? I mean, really, I just spent last semester in New Orleans. Everything I saw was huge buzz about the Saints returning to the Big Easy. Their season tickets are sold out for the upcoming season. They just drafted Bush and he's saying he wants to be there. Everyone in NOLA is excited about this season. It would be heartless of the NFL to move the Saints to LA because of Katrina!

I don't think there will be any expansion team in the NFL for a long time. They will move either the Raiders, Jacksonville, or the Chargers to LA. I would think the Jaguars would be the most likely candidate.

Since the Rams and Raiders left, I have really heard nothing about the city crying about not having a team. It is always the NFL worried about not having a team in the 2nd largest TV market? Then I heard Gov. Arnold a week or so ago saying he wanted not one but TWO teams in L.A.!!! I see it failing once again. For some reason L.A. just is not a football town.
