Maurice Jones Drew and Marcedes Lewis Coming Home?

Rumor has it that the Jags might be for sale and that billionaire C. Dean Metropoulos could buy the team and move the Jags to Los Angeles.

Everybody involved is in denial mode at the moment, but I sure hope it's true. If LA is to get a team, the Jags would be my top choice from the realistic candidates. Would be great to get to see MJD in person again.

PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEE

Let this rumor have legs. As a Jag fan since their birth, watching them draft 2 of the best recent products of the UCLA football program has been a joy. For them to be LA’s team on top of that would be gravy. Sell! Sell!

about time

LA really needs a pro-football team. When I first arrived in LA someone actually told me that $C was a pro-football team. But then again, with their high wages (reggie anyone?) they might as well be.

This would be great, especially if it would include all-star Bruins MJD and Marcedes. I bet they would have a few goods things to say to aspiring HS football players.

Well done. You’re fitting right in.

In other Jags news...

....WR Matt Jones got busted with a lap of coke. Perhaps this will make room for Jags mini-camp invitee Brandon Breazell. Anyone have any news on how he’s doing in his quest to land a NFL gig?

This would be awesome! As a Bay Area native that is not really a fan of either team up there, it would be nice to have a team to root for, especially one with multiple Bruins on it.

I have turned out the lights on the NFL since the Rams left...

I sure would love to have a team back here again.

And the new owner(s) of the Sonics said they weren’t going to move the team…

Let's hope you are right

otherwise this HUGE balloon over my head is gonna burst! Man, having the Jags in LA would be the best case scenario. Seeing MJD and Marcedes in person on Sundays would be dope!
