FIVE NFL TEAMS THAT COULD MOVE TO LOS ANGELES

FIVE NFL TEAMS THAT COULD MOVE TO LOS ANGELES

With the Super Bowl approaching, I decided to take a look at 5 NFL teams that have a great chance of moving to Los Angeles. The NFL has already stated that if Los Angeles gets an NFL team it will be a team that relocates from another city.

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
San Diego has a 3 month escape clause at the beginning of each calendar year. The NFL doesn’t want the Chargers to move from San Diego. The owners of the Chargers are still in talks with the city of San Diego about a new stadium.

ST.LOUS RAMS

The team has submitted a proposal to renovate the Edward Jones Dome to the St.Louis Convention and Visitors Commission. If is accepted, the teams lease extends through 2025. If they reject it an arbitrator, will work out a compromise plan and the city accepting that one in December would also extend the lease to 25 if the city turns that one down, and out could be enacted in the Rams lease in January 2015, pending some litigation.

A lot of people in the Los Angeles area are still bitter and upset that the Rams left once before and they may not be welcome back in Los Angeles.

OAKLAND RAIDERS

Raiders lease in up in 2013. One possible idea is sharing the 49ers Sanita Claria stadium which is set to open in 2014. Another idea is to redo the coliseum in los angeles, Oakland Raiders are in talks with the city of Oakland about building a new stadium.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

The teams lease is up in 2013. There is an out, but a tough one to enact. The jaguars would have to prove they lost money for 3 years in a row-not an easy feat now and one that might be tougher when there new TV deal kicks in. The new owner of the club Shahid Khan, seems committed the Jaguars where they are at.

BUFFALO BILLS

Owner Ralph Wilson has said that he would not move his team will he still is living. The club’s succession plan is to put the team in a trust and sell to the highest bidder. Still, the club is negotiating a new lease and renovation plan.

So which of these teams do you think will move to Los Angeles? Only time will tell.

NEW JERSEY WOMAN HIT WITH BASEBALL SUES LITTLE LEAGUE PLAYER

July 19, 2012

 

A New Jersey woman who was struck in the face with a baseball at a little league game is suing the young catcher who threw it.

 

Elizabeth Lloyd is seeking more than $150,000 in damages to cover medical costs as the result of an incident at a little league game that happened over two years ago.  Elizabeth Lloyd is also seeking an undefined amount for pain and suffering.

 

Little League player catcher Matthew Migliaccio was 11 years old at the time and was warming up a pitcher.

 

The lawsuit which was filed on April 24^th alleges that Migliaccio errant throw was intentional and reckless, “assaulted and batters” and that Lloyd caused “severe, painful and permanent” injuries.

 

Another count alleges Migliaccio actions were negligence and careless through “engaging in inappropriate physical and or sporting activitiy, near Lloyd.  She continues to suffer pain and anguish, incur medical expenses and has been unable to carry out her ususal duties and activities, the lawsuit says.

 

Bob Migliaccio , the father of Matthew Migliaccio stated that if his son has been horsing aroung, he would feel differently.  But Matthew was doing what his coaches told him to do, he said and noted that little league players aren’t always accurate in their throws.

 

“Its absured to expect every 11 year old to throw out the ball on target” “Everyone knows you’ve got to watch out.  You assume some risk when you go out to a field. That is just part of the game” Matthew Migliaccio said.

 

Steve Barr, a spokesman for the little league declined to comment on the litigation.  He said that each local league is required to have accident insurance, but only covers personnel.

 

“That includes coaches, players, even concession stand workers.  But it does not cover spectators” Barr said.

 

Let’s hope that this case gets toss out of court. This lawsuit is unnecessary.
