Monday morning quarterback: Opening flops

| | Comments (0) |


St. Louis Rams looked like the Los Angeles Rams in the team's 38-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's opener.

So Developer Ed Roski Jr. and his business partner John Semcken believe they can have an NFL team in Southern California by next season.
But who?
Here's a list of five teams, based on Sunday's opener, we would have no problem luring to the Southland. In fact, their current fan base might encourage it:

1. St. Louis Rams: SoCal was home to the Rams for 49 years before the team left in disgrace after the 1994 season. St. Louis, after yesterday's 38-3 lost to the Philadephia Eagles, would probably drive the team to the airport. But would we want them back?

2. Houston Texans: Seven years into their exhistance, the Texans still look like an expansion team, opening with a 38-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

3. Cleveland Browns: Cleveland opened with 28-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The game wasn't that close. I guess the Browns didn't know that you can rush the quarterback in the NFL.

4. Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks almost moved to SoCal a few years ago. We probably could get them today after Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

5. Washington Redskins: How does the Los Angeles Pechangas sound? It looks like a long season for the Redskins, who looked lost in a 16-7 setback to the New York Giants on Thursday.
