That has to be one of the most uninformed pieces of garbage I’ve ever read in my life.

Kroenke is from Missouri and was instrumental in the Rams moving to St. Louis.

What, if any facts do you have that even remotely hint at the idea that Kroenke would even consider moving the team?

This is worse than the garbage that all of the LA yahoos post on STLToday.com

LA Rams – R.I.P. 2/17/95

GET OVER IT!

Good guess on Kroenke matching the offer, although you might want to do some more research on the players involved.

Kroenke is from Missouri, was part of the expansion effort in the early-’90s and was instrumental in bringing the Rams to St. Louis. His loyalty is with St. Louis, not Los Angeles.

In fact, he had to sign a special agreement with the NBA when he purchased the Nuggets, because David Stern figured Kroenke would try and move the team to St. Louis.

As for Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez, I just get the sense that you don’t realize they’re brother and sister. They inherited the team from their mother, Georgia Frontiere.

Anyway, whether it’s Kroenke, Khan or Dave Checketts, it doesn’t look like the Rams are going anywhere.

Calm down there, Sparky. I take it you’re a St Louis fan? It’s okay, when all is said and done you can drive to Arrowhead for Chiefs games.

Reason #2 has been a rumor for years, and the sale process has reignited that talk. Here’s the oldest article I could find on the subject.

Add to that the fact that a group of LA businessmen have already purchased the land to build a new NFL stadium. As soon as a deal is available, there’s a boatload of money waiting to move your team to SoCal.

And Kroenke hosting Khan at his team’s games is just as likely to be Stan showing off his assets as anything else. Or, if they do plan to work together, they’ll need to be able to stomach each other. Either way, don’t expect Stan & Shahid to be going on any buddy-time fishing trips anytime soon just because they shared a luxury suite.

How can you possibly say Kroenke clearly wants majority, if not outright, ownership of the Rams? What facts do you have to back this statement up? I’ve read some terrible articles on Rams ownership, but this is by far the worst.

I wont even discuss how ignorant reason number 2 is. Try doing research before writing on this subject.

Also, you do realize Khan has been the guest at two Nuggets games and Kroenke has even introduced him to the press. That sure sounds like 2 people ready to do battle of the Rams.
