Was the LA Rams owner murdered for fixing NFL games? | Carroll Rosenbloom’s mystery death (1979)

[den-the-coach]

good God, please let football start again soon.. my fellow Ram brethren are losing their minds t right now

Oh come on my Ram brother, it is the dog days of summer soon I will start another thread on losing out on Warren Moon in 1984 cost the Rams a Super Bowl in 1985.

The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding
A rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Just make him disappear. It worked with Hoffa.

That's the way I see it (sorta)
If it was a mob hit, it would have been either
a) a clear execution which happened in shocking fashion
b) a permanent disappearance

The weather in NoCal sounds perfect. Here in PA we always get a few weeks every summer where the temp is in the high 90’s and the humidity is atrocious. Fortunately it only lasts about a week at a time and only happens 2-3 times a summer. I like the changing seasons. I also love the diversity of our forests. I’d have a hard time moving out of this area.



I thought you moved from Florida? That gets hot and humid all the time. I don’t understand why people like it.

Because I have dragon in my blood. I like it hot and humid (to a point).

The problem is that Georgia was involved and it had to look like a natural death otherwise her ownership of the team would have come into question.

Nope - Georgia was involved. Had to be natural death. See my post above.

My cousins live in Niceville on the panhandle. They came to visit during one of our hot spells. 98 degrees and unbearable humidity to me felt cool to them. They were used to high humidity and 110-115 No thanks.

110 115 is way to hot to me lol

Anything above 90 and humid is terrible

Arizona dry heat is okay up to 100 to me

Georgia being involved IS a natural death.

Well there is that lol

I'm not heading down any rabbit hole here, just saying that mafia hits were mostly to remove problems or end disputes, they were handled in a way that they sent a message.
All I'm saying is *if* there was some sort of devious plan as suggested, it doesnt fit the mafia MO

Normally I would say 99% of the time that is true but this time Georgia had direct ties to the Mafia thru Dominic. Who knows what the Mafia would do if a close ally asked them to get rid of someone naturally.

Just saying if the murder was actually public that Georgia would be a prime suspect in the case due to her ties to Dominic and I bet there were fears by Georgia that the NFL would not allow ownership of a team not only by a woman (we are talking late 70s here and there definitely were biases there) but a woman being investigated as well by the Authorities for the possible murder of her husband.

And yes - I will say I am going down a rabbit hole with this idea.

 

[Allen2McVay]

... Georgia had direct ties to the Mafia thru Dominic.

I'm going to be sorry I asked but what ties did Dominic Frontiere have with Organized Crime?

I thought he was a composer.

 

[Tano]

I have read articles where the FBI listed Dominic as having ties with the Mafia.

Nothing they could prove though.

But there are known Mafia bosses out there that the FBI have been investigating for years but unable to pin any direct crimes on them.

It was obvious to the FBI but again nothing they could pin any crimes on Dominic.

And also this by a high ranking member of the justice department

 

[David Ray]

Exactly!

Dumbest plan ever.

Think about the mobsters assigned to kill Rosenbloom, coming up with ideas how to do it:

"Maybe we should shoot him?"

"We could stab him...more quiet way to do it?"

"Let's hook him up to our car battery and juice him?"

"Hang him...let's hang him!"

"We could run him over...?"

"No wait. I got an idea. Let's rent diving gear and follow Rosenbloom around until he decides to go swimming in rough waters. Then, we can swim up on him, grab him, and drown him. It's a perfect plan. Even the ROD guys won't figure it out decades from now. Yeah, let's do this! Any of you guys scuba certified?"

Such a dumb plan to kill someone. I can't even believe it's a thing!

Or maybe lure him into the water by pretending to be drowning, our self?

 

[Karate61]

Whatever dude.

I am not in the mafia so I wouldn't be the one to come up with the idea on how to make it look natural.

But somehow Rosenbloom died by drowning and there are suspicious circumstances all around. And I will go to my death bed believing that somehow Georgia had Rosenbloom killed.

I was just throwing ideas out there.

Just to be clear @Tano, I did not say anything about Georgia not being involved, but rather just commenting on the theory that it was done by scuba diver mobsters.

I thought you moved from Florida? That gets hot and humid all the time. I don’t understand why people like it.

Who wants to live in a place that as soon as you get all cleaned up, step out of the shower and you just start sweating in some sticky mess ?
Sometimes it will get a "little" humid here but its 70 deg, not 95. But only for a day or two.
I had some family who just moved to Florida (in law) from the Sacramento area where it does get hot a blazes. But they are having problems adjusting and they "love" the heat .
They thought it would be a LOT cheaper to live in Florida. They were able to buy a house with a pool they could not afford in CA.
BUT, the car insurance was like 500$ a month for 2 cars. Other things were more expensive also. So they are kind of even.
I would have a hard time lot looking in the distance and not seeing a mountain with big, tall green trees with clean rivers.
I consider coastal Nor Cal paradise.
A friend just brought his cousin up here for a visit from Texas, eastern part. He was amazed buy something we take for granted.
He told me " I never thought air could smell and feel like this".
He is trying to move here.
How bad was the air where he was from ?
My sister moved to PA but she moved to Canada before I could come out and see here.
I would like to see the East Coast sometime.

Well I was basically throwing shit against the wall and seeing what sticks lol.

Wasn't cool to call it the dumbest plan ever though.

I’ve been to nearly every state in the country. Two that I regret not seeing are California and Oregon.

When I was in my early thirties I tried to get a job in Vancouver BC. I loved it when I visited there. That was a gorgeous city/region. I imagine I’d like NoCal too.

California is beautiful as long as you are out of LA (too much smog) but I am glad I don't live there anymore.

Again, you're tripping. I am commenting on the reporting and conspiracy theories as to what happened to Rosenbloom. My post had nothing to do with anything you wrote. I wasn't referencing you or any of your posts. It seems you think I was, but I wasn't!
