You can get Rams tickets for $6. Also, the owners don't care because most of their money comes from TV deals and stadium naming rights.
You could get last minute tickets like that maybe, depends on the game too. Yeah, they left for 22 years or whatever and before that ceded the area to the Raiders. I've been trying to look at tickets to the Seahawks game down there and there isn't anything cheap.

Btw you can get Rams @ Cowboys tickets on stubhub for $17 right now.

You're absolutely right about the TV shit though. That's one of the main reasons Al Davis came to LA in the first place, to get the market to himself.

The NFL fucked itself in LA by leaving for so long, it will take a lot of winning and many years to turn it around.

Bottom line, you aren't building an instant fan base with the worst offense in the league and a 4-12 team. It's going to take time and winning, turning the kids of today into home team fans like I was.

Shit now I'm getting depressed. I'm going to that game and I'm paying face value for the tickets, which I know will be more than $17.

Sad that description fits both teams. I like them both but it will take time and Rios has almost none left.

Didn't the Giants go 0-2 the last time the won it all?

How many players are on the team now that did that?

1.

I just hate the arrogance that says that getting off to a slow start is not a big deal, because we've done it in the past. It's a different team.

Giants might want to draft a new coach. Throwing your QB under the bus like that while he made retarded call after retarded call isn't going to be good for the team.

I think getting together OLs like Dallas's will be almost as hard as finding a Trevor Siemian in the future. College teams don't train OL any better for the NFL than they do QBs. Multiple early picks have shown significant flaws and finding a great starting OG in the 3rd-4th is almost becoming a pipe dream. That's almost always 1st round now. I'm sure it doesn't help that physical freaks like Von Miller, Bosa, Suh, Mack, etc are out there in increasing numbers. I still can't believe FOs let La'el Collins get by without a sniff that year.

Will say that while the Skins got Trent Williams and Scherff as top 5 picks, our starting C (who can also play guard) Spencer Long and RT Morgan Moses were both 3rd round picks in 2014. Both have been very good. See a lot more C/G combo guys these days, and you can still find good ones as late as round 3.

The first two picks of the 2015 draft were Ogbuehi and Fisher. Both OTs blow. I dunno if it takes a while for them to get their bearings or what, but they're trash.

honestly, the more raw talent an Olineman has, the longer it will take for him to develop. And there's a chance he won't develop at all since this might be the first time in his life he's had to work for blocks. If he's a high first round draft pick, he doesn't even have to fight for his roster spot for a few years.

I didn't realize that colleges weren't training them properly anymore. That would explain why those busts seem to be more common.
