National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell says that the three cities trying to keep NFL teams that have applied to move to Los Angeles aren't doing so hot. According to this U.S. News report, Goodell said that the three cities' proposals for expansions and improvements to their current facilities are "inadequate and unsatisfactory."

Goodell will obviously let the three cities try again. After all, when it became apparent to even a comatose rock that his initial two-game suspension of Ray Rice was pretty darned inadequate and monumentally bleepin' unsatisfactory, he allowed himself to try again by suspending Rice "indefinitely."

NFL owners will meet to decide which of the three teams -- St. Louis, Oakland and San Diego -- they will allow to move to Los Angeles. Part of me thinks it would be fun if they decided to screw their fellow owners over by saying "Yes" to all three. Either the city of Los Angeles would finally bankrupt itself trying to sweeten the deal for three football teams with some ridiculous publicly funded stadium deal or the three teams would shred each other to pieces squabbling for adequate pieces of the metro fan pie.

Maybe one or the other of those outcomes would finally put paid to the ridiculous idea that spending public money on an athletic stadium is a boon, since they always cost far more than they bring in. Oh, and make Roger Goodell look like an even bigger dork, which is a bonus.
