NFL owners still wary of Raiders moving to Los Angeles

There is a growing consensus among NFL owners that two teams will play in Los Angeles next season, and the Oakland Raiders appear increasingly unlikely to be one of them, according to reports coming out of league meetings in New York Wednesday.

NFL owners are scheduled next week to vote on two competing Los Angeles-area stadium plans: one from the St. Louis Rams in Inglewood and the other from the Raiders and San Diego Chargers in Carson....

"This is a very, very fluid situation, and right now the momentum seems to be shifting to a partnership of the Chargers and the Rams moving to Los Angeles," reported Jason Cole of Bleacher Report.

Cole said a lot of owners recall fights in the stands when the Raiders last played in Los Angeles and question whether the team's ownership has the money to succeed there.

but judging from his history of talking out of both sides of his mouth, I won't be surprised if he entertains the St. Louis idea (despite them being a smaller market and having a far smaller Raider fan base).
