duey Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 From CNNSI... The latest rumor is that the Saints are the franchise most likely to relocate in L.A./O.C. -- Orange County Register http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/scorecard/ It's a freaking shame that any team has to move. Seems like the league doesn't want to upset these nice, even divisions they set up a few years ago. Does anyone know how the Saints have been drawing the last five years or so?

BillsGuyInMalta Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 The Saints are the most likely team to go because they dont have a strong tradition behind them (aside from a tradition of losing). The NFL got a lot of heat for letting The Browns and Oilers move from their cities, and I remember Tags saying that he'd like to keep "traditional" teams in their "traditional" cities. Thats why I always thought the San Diego Chargers would never move to LA because the Chargers do have a strong tradition in San Diego. New Orleans makes sense...plus come on...The LA Saints? Perfect.

CajunBillsBacker Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Saints tickets are easy to get. If you are bored on a Sunday afternoon, you can just head to the Superdome and buy tickets right from the ticket office desk. They never sell out the Superdome. There are still diehards here, but nothing like it was back during the Bobby Hebert, Ricky Jackson years. I think overall, everyone wants to see the Saints leave just to get Tom Benson out of town and start fresh with a expansion team here. I really don't blame them, Benson is a tight wad who cares less if the Saints win or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thats why I always thought the San Diego Chargers would never move to LA because the Chargers do have a strong tradition in San Diego. 109400[/snapback] It's actually taking them back home. Way back in days of yore, there was a team called the Los Angeles Chargers that played for a year before moving to San Diego to become the lovable losers of current day fame. Still doesn't mean there's not strong tradition there - we could move the Chiefs back to Dallas and the Lions back to Portsmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Ah yes, the Portsmouth Lions. I remember those games well. Did you know you could get a bag of wolf nipple chips for only one quid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Ah yes, the Baltimore Colts......too bad they aren't still in existence. They could have built a modern looking Memorial Stadium and still had the bleacher bum deal in the end zone. Hell, even those saddy Houston Oilers should still be around. Effeminate oil derrick for a logo and all.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thats why I always thought the San Diego Chargers would never move to LA because the Chargers do have a strong tradition in San Diego. Actually the Chargers started in LA ...... so tradition wise it would just be a matter of what goes around, comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
