That was not only a change of plans with New England going over today, that was a discreditation that has to start leading to some real questions as to the viability of the Chargers franchise, in LA or anywhere else.
I can't think, at this point, that we'd be looking at the Chargers going over NEXT YEAR and the stadium opens to the Chargers, instead of what is beginning to become a narrative of the "New LA Showtime"...
But now the NFL is stuck.
Kansas City wins on Sunday, and it's two weeks of domestic violence murmurs with Kareem Hunt.
New England wins, and who knows when or what we might find out in the two weeks leading to the game. (Spygate one year, Belichick's opposing TB12/Guerrero last year...)
One interesting stat: Only about two in five of Brian Tuohy's contest entrants still have a chance to win after today.
I'm NOT one of them.
Young Blood!
ReplyDeleteIf not for Kareem Hunt, I'd agree with you.
DeleteI think we're getting LA-NE now, as a direct result.
Putting KC over this weeks means Kareem Hunt is in the discussion for two weeks.
Putting KC over to anoint Mahomes as "The Next Guy" probably means 4-5 over the next decade in KC.
You still might be spot on with your Saints pick in the Super Bowl.And yes the Chargers belong back in San Diego.What a botched move.Kinda like the Islanders moving to Brooklyn.The NFL owes the Hunt family a favor so KC against the Saints with Drew getting another ring.Boy that Eagle Saints game looked staged.Especially that last interception.
ReplyDeleteBut then how much damage do you do your Los Angeles investment? The Chargers are moribund, and there's no real chance they're going much of anywhere anytime soon. They probably would've been better off folded for an AFC LA expansion franchise, frankly.
DeleteOr just contracted with three other teams (Bills, Jags, Titans. Then, I would change the Texans to the Oilers and start their history again).
DeleteSo you then have a 30 team league and go back to three fives in each conference? And, at that point, who goes over from the NFC?
DeleteNo. I would have a 28-team league. Actually, I would contract the Texans and move the Titans back to Houston where they belong.
DeleteInteresting. Four divisions of seven, then?
DeleteNo. Three divisions of four or five like before.
