Observing Los Angeles

L.A's NFL aspirations dissed by...Jacksonville?

Fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars have reacted to talk of their team fleeing west by launching a website called No Way L.A. The site notes that Los Angeles has had four professional football teams and couldn't hang on to any of them. (Well, the Dons went out of business when their league folded.)

Nothing spells loser better than the California Economy, the Laker fans rioting in the streets, the Stanford girls getting beat by UConn, USC losing to the Gators, the annoying whine of Jim Rome and LA trying to be an NFL city.

Stick to making movies, playing volleyball, breathing your smog filled air, sitting in traffic and surfing in your frigid shark infested waters. I really think you west coasters have been smoking too much medical marijuana to think anyone, let alone a football team, would give up Florida for the hell you live in. The Jaguars are committed to Jacksonville and the sunshine state.

The No Way L.A. bumperstickers are $3 each or 2 for five bucks. Hat tip to The Informer at the LA Weekly.
