The Bucs to Los Angeles? | Page 4

Looking at how the Tampa Bay Bucs are having trouble selling tickets(blacked out all of last year and the season opener this year), I'm thinking they may be the team that moves to the west coast. Your thoughts?

I can see the Jags moving. It's not that people can't afford to go to football games, it's that they only care about NASCAR and SEC football. The fan base doesn't sell out professional baseball or football in the state of Florida and they don't need 3 professional football franchises.

I'd be shocked if it's not the Chargers.

Oh thanks very much! The Bucs. Better than getting the Rams I suppose. Can't see it though.

I don't see it being a California team, only one that has a slight chance might be the Chargers. It has to be a team from Florida, IMO, it's gonna be the Jags just because they are doing so bad with their fan base. Pretty sure they are making the least amount of money out of any NFL team.

Would love to see a renewed Rams-49ers rivalry. For some reason I see the Cardinals always being a half-assed, mediocre team due to their ownership. Also not sold on the Seahawks but the Rams are a legit franchise and they've had some amazing duels with the 49ers in the past. Would love to see that competitiveness again. Of course if the Bucs came to LA then it only would make sense for the Rams to head to the NFC South and the Bucs to the West.

an LA team has to wear blue for me to truly hate them...bucs can't deliver on that...rams, chargers and jags can (somewhat...tweak that jag teal to dodger blue and you're on)

Pretty sure the Buccs ownership would like them to become the London team.

even though the other team the Glazers own is from MANCHESTER...(northern England have an inferiority/superiority complex with southern England/London)...it'd be like Jed York buying a UK Premier League club and moving it to LA...
