Much Angst about nothing!

The more I think about the 'stir' about the Rams being sold, the more I'm thinking that it's not something for St Louis area people to get all riled up about. We are talking 2014 before there's even a possibility of a new owner moving the team.

There are possibilities of Stan Kroenke or Dave Checketts being the new majority owner, and major concerns for anyone contemplating buying a professional team and moving it. All of these things seem to signal 'Chill, already'. If you are going to start worrying about the move possibility at this point, you may as well ask your doctor for a Nexium prescription now, because you will be working yourself towards an ulcer, and for the remotest of concerns.

The St Louis Post-Dispatch seems for the most part bent on 'stirring' this every so often, though the sportswriters have not really joined in that chorus, but writers trying to stir up taxpayers into looking out for a hand in their pocket looking for big bucks. Its much too far away and far too indefinite to be a concern. Lets just enjoy the revitalization of an organization.

New Ownership

Since I am within 100 miles of St Louis, the news that Chip and Lucia are putting the team for sale, and that there have been no 'nibbles' from St Louis area people as buyers is a bummer to me.

But I am also realistic and believe we should be thankful the two of them have started this organization down the right path which it has essentially strayed from ever since Steve Rosenbloom was fired.

Nothing but good in the Rams future if the new owners follow the plan setup by Chip, Lucia, and Billy Devaney, whether it be in St Louis or wherever.

One
fact in St Louis favor is that I am hard pressed to name an available city with a better facility.. I'd be interested to hear possibilities. LA never has accomplished anything concrete on a new venue that I am aware of??
