NFL Talks On The Rocks
According to the Daily News, football talks have stalled and officials are avoiding the subject. At this point, apparently, the NFL values Los Angeles only as a bargaining chip in negotiations with other cities. Nice.
Los Angeles officials have refused to talk about it, but the NFL flat out told them three months ago that a professional football team will not be coming to the Coliseum, the Daily News has learned.

Ho'w they get Weiss, Zine and Tony to pose for this timely pic?
This is good news, because it means that no public money is being used to help fund an enterprise for some rich owner or group.
Too many gang banging cholos are now Dodgers fans, we need a football team so less low life cholos go to Dodgers games.
We'd have a football team if the politicians got out of the way and didn't insist on the Coliseum - how many times does the NFL have to tell them they don't want the Coliseum.
Had they let O'Malley build a football stadium at Dodger Stadium we'd have a team and the O'Malleys would still own the Dodgers.
Mayor Sam, and what city would the O'Malley's football team have moved to? We've already had the Rams and the Raiders move out. There's a big difference between what you wish for and reality. Your statement is rooted in fantasy.
