Good show guys, but had to turn it off when it got to Nick.

Why? He was for giving construction jobs in Carson to build that Chargers/Raiders stadium!

Going to get me a job at the toxic landfill? I can walk to work. I'll share a gasmask with Nick.

Isn’t he also the dumbass who asked Shanahan if he would be resting players this weekend? Does that knucklehead even know that the Niners season is over after this weekend?

I know it's easy to razz Nick Wagoner because he leaned towards St Louis in the relocation drama and he spoke positively about the Carson stadium back then, which is interesting for him to now say that he thought Kroenke would win the battle and move the team (he never indicated that in his writings at the time). I used to hammer him for his lack of objectivity and his alignment with Bernie Miklacsz and Randy Karraker at 101ESPN. He told me (via twitter) that he and Bernie M. were friends and that's why he acted as he did (agreeing with Bernie while "one air" about some relocation issues, instead of calling him out)

Nick was too close to the losing side to be accepted in LA as the Ram's ESPN reporter, which he mentioned that he had discussed moving on from the Rams with his bosses before the relocation decision came down. Enter Alden Gonzales as the Rams guy at ESPN. It must be remembered that he covered Mizzou before the Rams and is probably deeply ingrained with Missouri folks (maybe born there?). I don't hate him, myself...he was in an impossible situation.
