NFL returning to L.A.?
It appears that Los Angeles will, once again, have an NFL team. The league's commissioner said the NFL reached a preliminary agreement with the city to bring a team to Los Angeles. The home stadium and projected starting date have not yet been determined.
It's about time. How could America's second-largest metropolitan area be without an NFL team for the past ten years? It's not like the area doesn't have a fan base. L.A. is not exactly a small market.
However, this whole deal is so tentative that I could see it falling through completely.
The new NFL team could wind up playing second banana in Los Angeles if the USC Trojans keep up their winning ways. No, they won't extend their winning streak for another few seasons. But, if coach Pete Carroll sticks around, the Trojans will be a power for a pretty long time.
