But they don't have a large Scandinavian population base...
In reality the Rams should move back.
Very true. And the strangest thing is that over the past week or so, the Vikings had been trying to con the Bucs into giving up something to ensure they would get Claiborne.
They didn't trade with the Vikings to make sure the Vikings didn't take Richardson, they traded with the Vikings to make sure no other team traded with the Vikings and took Richardson.
Just like all the lakes in the Los Angeles area.
Earlier another football player committed suicide the same way. It is believed it was to preserve the brain so doctors can study the damage caused by the repeated trauma that a football player's head endures.
I read about him the other day. Hopefully his great motor and attitude will rub off on that team. I really commend the Buc's for doing this.
"I believe I will walk again. I do. When that happens, I already know what I'm going to do. I'll go to Giants Stadium and find the exact spot in the field where I went down. I'll lie there for a second. And then I'll get up on my own power and walk away."

But it was asked in a Chicagoland school...
They need to fire that teacher...

The last comparison is dead on.
I never remember that they are on. I ended up missing the Cowboys opener because it was on a bloody Wednesday.
The replacement ref's could be easy to bribe too... since they don't have to worry about coming back to work next year.
Not to mention the fact that, apparently, the NFL didn't do any background checks on the refs, or vet them in any way (the Seahawks/Cards game had a ref that had previously been on the Seahawks' payroll, the ref that was pulled from the Saints game but only after ESPN told the league that he was a Saints fan, etc.). I really hope no one is seriously injured in the upcoming weeks of brutal body blows and bloody reprisals, as the refs either miss or refuse to call late hits, pass interference, face masks, targeting, etc. Especially since it's getting more and more obvious that the coaches aren't going to take steps to keep things in check, because they're just as frustrated with the shitty officiating, and the players are doling out their own justice now.
But no, Goodell is too worried about making an example of what one team "allegedly" did 3 years ago to worry about what a lot of teams are actively doing in front of the TV cameras right now.

PAY THE FUCKING REFS ALREADY GOT DAMN
Supposedly none of this has to do with pay (from the NFL's point of view), but has to do with wanting to set up a referee college, where they can train refs directly instead of the current process, where you pretty much have to start as a high school ref, and then move up to the college level starting with D3/FCS and then moving up through the ranks until you can ref BCS bowl level games, and then move up to NFL; and by that time you're "really old" and can't move around as easily; and the NFL wants younger refs that are going to stay with the league for a longer period of time... but they still don't want to pay them enough that they'll be able to not have to have normal jobs on the side.
Meanwhile, the league is trying to run this initiative to have people who are thrown out of stadiums be required to pay $75 for a 4-hour online class on proper behavior before they're allowed back into a stadium; and the first (highly publicized) example of some fans who're going to have to go through that to get back into Century Link Stadium to watch the Seahawks are a group of off-duty Bellevue PD officers who got drunk and rowdy before the game, got into an altercation with an on-duty Seattle PD officer outside the stadium, were allowed to continue on to the game (because there was no crime committed when one of them littered, refused to pick up the trash and dispose of it properly, and then started a fight with the SPD officer that was heated enough that backup had to be called - littering, public drunkenness, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest) and once inside the stadium refused to stop swearing and carrying on and then threatened another fan with "you better not get pulled over in Bellevue, we're Bellevue cops," when asked to stop swearing so much because they guy was there with his kid, and had to be escorted out of the stadium by security (all the while flashing their badges and shouting "we're cops").
It's going to be an ugly, ugly year.

I love the Philip Rivers one. ROFL
Must've been done before we found out Matt Flynn was too lazy to actually try hard and win a starting spot against a rookie...
Exact same thing here.
