IMO the market isn't all that attractive to someone like SK anyway.

Meanwhile, Bernie continues to torture avid readers in the hopes of finding an article worth a shit instead of something they would use to wipe their ass with
If there was a better citizen of the St.Louis area than Stan and Co during the Ferguson affair I'd like to know who it was.
One of my problems with Bernie's reportage is he uses the Shaw era to hammer his doom and gloom ,instead of giving Kroenke credit for outbidding Miami for Fisher ,giving him a near blank check for assistant coaches, and then being competitive in the best division in the NFL with the leagues youngest roster ,and if that doesn't depress the reader enough he then conjures the futility of the Bidwell years .
If the Rams leave ,I'll hold Bernie's drumbeat as partially responsible ,it happened with Bidwell too, Tom Barnadge and Rich Koster curse them wrote article after article mercilessly portraying Bidwell in a bad light . I see jealousy in these articles ,thank GOD Bernie doesn't own the team, we'd be changing coaches three times a year
You are letting your Bernie bias get in the way. All that is saying is that Stan hasn't said ANYTHING. He isn't calling for him to give some blowhard nonsense, he's just saying Stan has been completely silent and absent. So yes, I agree with Bernie 100%...for those of us that are tied to the city it has been tormenting.
You missed the word AND,I didn't quote the "shot" it's in the article if you read it.
I just think if the Rams move to LA they will become the new Cowboys of the NFL. Everybody except Rams fans will hate them and talks about being Super Bowl contenders every god damn year will make me hate this team. I like not being in the spotlight. That's what made the GSOT so special.
Now that you mention it it is irritating that he always brings up the Bidwells moving to AZ.
I understnad it isn't easy, I lived in CLE when the whole Browns thing went down, it was awful and I'm not a Browns fan.
Anyway it's more how Bernie turns a phrase. He didn't say it is difficult for fans to deal with the silence he said "On top of that, the Missouri native Kroenke has seemingly enjoyed tormenting his own fan base with his cold, calculated aloofness."
It's a shitty thing to say and isn't all that accurate to boot.
Right, so he's completely silent AND absent, and yet somehow the Rams are "eyeing the LA market"??
Its absurd writing.
Gotcha. That wasn't clear.
Nothing Bernie writes surprises me anymore. He takes as many opportunities to take shots at as many people as he can.
After all, Bernie IS the story you know?
But he has and still does judge it to be intentional and that's your blind spot.
Bernie was actually a pretty reasonable defender of Bradford. Never saw him say he stunk. I still don't get why everyone hates Bernie so fucking much.

Hah, doesn't require mind reading, just look at his record. Kroenke is an astute businessman and as such seeks to maximize his long-term profit in each of is investments.
Also Thordaddy you are conflating building a team with commitment to St. Louis. Kroenke has been exemplary at building a team. He will judge whether his long-term investment will fare better in St. Louis, LA or elsewhere and when the team is in that place he will make a commitment to that city. My bet is LA, and I don't blame him if he moves the team there, although I will personally find it disappointing.

Because he's unprofessional, his articles are mostly to gain controversy with the trolls that populate his fiefdom at the PD Bernies Pukebox and Ramstalk, he takes shots to piss them off , and they take the bait.
I'm ready to see him permabanned here,
@GreeneCounty - Link please. And it's ironic that you included this part at the end of the article...

Btw Bernie just cannot resist getting a shot in at the fanbase. And yet he probably still wonders why so many detest him.

Most of it comes from Bernie trying to make himself the story.
When Bernie was on the radio, you'll be hard pressed to find somebody who talks about himself as much as Bernie does, trying to make himself part of the story.
It's become increasingly evident in his writing as well as he often carries personal vendettas into his columns.
In short: Bernie, is a diva, with an over-inflated sense of self-worth.
I think how you take it says more about you than it does him. Pretty consistent thing on this forum seems to be the need to clutter up a thread that contains content from Bernie with a bunch of silly comments. Nitpicking over the way he phrases stuff is simply looking for stuff to get upset about. C'mon already...
Kronke bought a parcel of land in L.A. where many have proposed a new stadium would go. That, to me, is a shot by Kronke showing the powers that be in St. Louis that he's serious and they need to start working on a new deal or he'll leave. It's a power move by Kronke, but I don't doubt for a second that if he doesn't get what he wants, he can find it somewhere else.
