After more than two decades, The Rams return to Southern California...good news for Los Angeles, bad news for St. Louis.

It looks like St. Louis will have another team...when Cleveland wins a Championship!

But...who will join the Rams, The Raiders or the Chargers?

That's good, so now they'll be the Los Angeles Rams again, the way it should be. They should have never left LA in the first place.

Now the Cardinals can move back to St. Louis and they'll be the St. Louis Cardinals again. That would be good also.

And as of right now, it looks like the Raiders are staying in Oakland. I hope they stay, but we'll see. And the Chargers should stay in San Diego too. LA doesn't need two football teams.

OMG!!! That is WILD!!!! I know a lot of people out here that still follow the Rams, even though they have been in St. Louis for over 20 years! Very cool! Not till 2019 though right?

No, I think the Rams are supposed to start playing in LA this year, 2016. Question remains is if the Chargers leave San Diego and join the Rams in LA. If the Chargers stay in San Diego, then the possibility exists for the Raiders to move back to LA.

Yeah, the plan is to play in the LA Coliseum starting next season till the new place is ready in 2019.

Sounds like the Raiders are currently without a home, their lease at the coliseum in Oakland is expired and they haven't asked for an extension yet. The Raiders owner doesn't sound too keen about staying in Oakland, so who knows where the team will end up. Aside from Los Angeles, San Antonio has also been mentioned, but that would give Texas 3 NFL teams, I don't know if the league would want that. It seems the NFL prefers the Raiders to stay in Oakland, and the Chargers to stay in San Diego. I agree.

Oh I misread or misunderstood when I first read Mr. Cleveland's post on another thread about the Rams coming back to LA! I thought they wouldn't be here till 2019!

Way cool!!! ;)

Yeah I think the Raiders and Chargers should stay put in California too! ;) Texas has three NBA teams though. So maybe they wouldn't mind three NFL teams! :)

How about if the Chiefs can move down from Kansas City to Texas?

I doubt if the Chiefs would ever leave Kansas City.

The Chargers might play the 2016 season in San Diego, they have until January 2017 to decide if they want to join the Rams in LA. Where the Raiders will play this year, is open to question. The Raiders owner sounds like he isn't interested in playing anymore at the coliseum in Oakland. Will just have to wait and see where the team ends up.

I won't be surprised that the Raiders will be the Los Angeles team.

But if Oakland has an expansion team if the raiders leave, I won't doubt that it'll be like how the New Orleans Hornets became the Pelicans and the Charlotte Bobcats became the Hornets. If so...what would be a good name for them? The Stars?

Either that, but the problem is that Kansas City will be only FC West team not to be in both Mountain and Pacific time zones and that's too imbalancingly off-timing, IMO, retroTVfan4ever.

It's cool how on old TV shows that take place in LA they always mention the Rams! The other night on CHIPS ,Ponch and his date were supposed to go to the game but ended up watching them on TV!!!

On Bewitched (that wasn't in LA) but a "Ram" was zapped up , Jack Snow of the LA Rams had a cameo. How cute was he? WOW!!!

One of my favorite Warren Beatty movies "Heaven can Wait" had to do with the LA Rams too.
