name on the Rams' new stadium

[Loyal]

I was going to do a smart @ssed couple of stadiums with The Shopping Bag or Sav-on Drug. My Dad worked at Shopping Bag and Vons back in the 60-70's....THEY"RE BOTH GONE! What the he.ll do you guys do and and not shop there?!?!

I'm afraid to look up Stater-Bros Grocery Store....

Okay fellas its time for everyone here to chip in a few cash coins.

Rams On Demand Stadium. The Rams new home will be called the ROD. We can put our gameday thread on the jumbo tron during games! On second thought....scratch that idea...but we could put CGI Rams avatar on the midfield stripe instead of that boring NFL shield.

Isn't this about the time you remind us of the German's bombing Pearl Harbor?

I think the booby thread should be on the jumbotron

and wouldn't @dieterbrock avatar look great at midfield

so did some quick math and I came up with this:

lets say 5 mill a year to sponsor. We currently have a membership count of 1517 so

1517/5,000,000 = 3295.98 a year per member

so that brings the weekly dues per member to $63.38 per week.

We have about a year to count our change so start rolling those pennies

In the spirit of one of the greatest sports movies of all time, BASEketball, I suggest we go with Maxi-Tampon Stadium or Preparation H Arena.

and Vons back in the 60-70's....THEY"RE BOTH GONE!

I see Vons(es) all over the place. I was actually in one in Redondo Beach last weekend.

I don't know squat about and Shopping Bag stores. I've heard of a burger joint in Vermont that my ex-wife told me about.

I am, however, well versed in "being in the bag" but that's an entirely different story...:homercrawl:

It might be easier to get another 4,998,438 members.

I get it that Spanos is a dickweed, but you seem to have an really serious distaste for him Merlin...........I wonder why..........for sure he isn't like his father.

An easy guy to dislike, sort of an Art Modell type, trying to hold everyone hostage for a few bucks.

Is it just because he is going to have his team in the same stadium?

What makes you think he’s not like his slum lord father? His dad built an empire on bilking taxpayers. Seems that his son is as bad if not worse. Every Charger fan I know can’t stand either one.

[LuvMeThemRams]

It will be the Amazon or Tesla stadium.

I don't see Tesla surviving.

That's what I mean, his father is worse. His father is one of the worst owners ever. Art Modell level bad.

I'm not saying Dean is a gem, but his father is like a traitor to humanity. And the family seems to have had a poor relationship with the city forever.

I don't care that they are playing in LA, actually I think the NFL prefers them to having the Raiders in LA because I still think the Raiders would be a bigger draw and I don't think the NFL or the Rams would like that.

Are you kidding? Tesla and electronic cars are the future.

 

[nighttrain]

My problem with what you’re saying is that win or lose, the Chargers have always drawn well - home fans or not.

And was his father worse? Let’s just say the Apple fell right at the trunk. Dean may be worse because he never did a fucking thing on his own - much like Al Jr.

And sorry Les but I’ve been to a couple Raiduh games at the Coliseum. They are not so much a favorite in LA. They draw with fans NO ONE wants in their stadium. There was always more action going on in the cheap seats than there was on the field. It’s a security nightmare unlike any of the games I went to in Oakland. Surreal honestly.

Maybe so but what besides subsidies, dams, fossle (sp?) fuel, and coal (another evil fossle fuel) produces the electricity to power them? It’s not like electricity is fueled by air.

I think we have all the energy we need in the sun to power our electronics.

The Raiders draw. Can't deny it.

But you point out why I said the NFL and Rams don't want them as the other team in LA. Horrible fans, Philly level fans.

I have been following Tesla for some time now... would NEVER buy stock.

It's fascinating... the stock price is driven almost totally on emotion and promises made by Elon Musk (who, BTW, is an excellent salesperson).

Looking solely at "normal" metrics (revenue, income, debt, production), the stock price has no correlation at all.

The company has never sniffed a profit... and is burning through cash like there's no tomorrow:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-through-8-000-every-minute-amid-model-3-woes

The company is in a very precarious position right now. The Model 3, their lowest priced model that is aimed at the masses, has got to come through for them to have any chance at profitability and improve cash flows.

But, they have missed production targets by country miles:
http://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-delays-model-3-production-target-again-2018-1

Somewhere in the first quarter of 2018, they will need to issue more debt to be able to continue producing Model 3's... but it's existing debt is in jeopardy of being downgraded (severely):
https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckj...could-go-farther-into-the-ditch/#2ef61fbf4205

Then, there's quality concerns:
http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-tesla-quality-20171114-story.html

Add all the above red flags together, and then consider the significant progress and projections from existing, well known car manufacturers:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/feat...uture-of-electric-cars-many-models-few-buyers

So... while electric cars are definitely the future, IMO Tesla will not be the frontrunner. In fact, IMO, there's a very good possibility they may not be around, come 2020. I see the "big boys" crushing Tesla "like the cockroach it is" (quote from Mr. Wonderful ).

My take:
Poor management, too many missed production targets, quality control and - most importantly - competition, will put Tesla Motors out of business within the next two years.

Short selling remains high on the stock, but the short sellers are getting burned on the emotion uplift that remains in place. Miss enough targets and investor confidence will overwhelm the emotion and the stock will tank.

You heard it here first, folks...
