The Rams to move back to LA

[Southerndawg]

fun fact of the day......
When Al Davis moved the team back to Oakland in 1995, he sued the NFL, claiming the league sabotaged the team's effort to build a stadium at Hollywood Park in Inglewood.

Hi Aandy!

That photo looks like it was taken long after he died. #AlDavisisaLivingZombie

"The move scuttles plans for a proposed $250-million stadium to be built adjacent to Hollywood Park in Inglewood as a new home for the Raiders and possibly UCLA. Davis' action comes less than three months after the Rams left Anaheim for St. Louis and leaves Los Angeles without a pro football team for the first time since 1945."

Didn't Irwindale pay Favis a $10,000,000 non-refundable escrow payment just to be "formally considered"?

Easiest money Davis ever made.
