ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled that a lawsuit filed over the Rams‘ departure from St. Louis will be heard in a St. Louis courtroom Bo Jackson Jersey White , a defeat for the NFL team’s owner who sought to send the case to arbitration.The court issued its ruling Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by St. Louis city and county and the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, which owns the domed stadium where the Rams formerly played. It named Rams owner Stan Kroenke, who moved the team to Los Angeles for the 2016 season, the NFL and league owners.It wasn’t immediately clear if an appeal was planned. Messages left Wednesday with the Rams, Kroenke’s attorney and the NFL were not immediately returned.The lawsuit alleged that the Rams’ departure violated a 1984 league guideline that was established after the Raiders moved from Oakland to Los Angeles. The league, the Rams and Kroenke have argued that the disagreements should be settled behind closed doors in arbitration.The suit seeks financial damages, but a win for the city, county and dome authority would not return the team to St. Louis.The Rams’ departure left a bitter taste in St. Louis, which lost an NFL team for the second time in 30 years — the Cardinals moved to Arizona in 1987.Last month, a judge gave preliminary approval to the settlement of a separate suit filed on behalf of fans who bought St. Louis Rams tickets and team merchandise. The settlement could be worth up to $25 million. The lawsuit claimed fans would not have purchased the tickets and goods if they knew about the impending move.The Rams scored a victory in yet another suit. An April ruling determined that an option in the lease for the now-vacant training facility in St. Louis County gives the Rams the option to buy it for just $1. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the facility is worth at least $12.7 million.

PDTShareTweetShareShareRaiders GM Mike Mayock compares Clelin Ferrell to Chris Long, ‘more value than you can even put a number on’Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsLong before he was named the Raiders general manager, Mike Mayock had his eye on Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell. While he was preparing for NFL Network’s draft coverage in the fall, Mayock studied the two-time First-Team All-American and was reminded of a former top pick. “He’s what I call a glue player,” Mayock said of Ferrell in a conversation with Sports Illustrated.“I looked at Ferrell back in September and October, and I watched three or four tapes and at the bottom of my notes, I wrote ‘glue/Chris Long.’ That’s the kind of guy, to me, who has more value than you can even put a number on. Chris hung in there, ended up in New England, gets a Super Bowl, goes to Philadelphia, gets another. Chris Long’s a glue guy. And I think Cle’ is also.”Both players had productive collegiate careers and are of similar stature https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-carr-jersey , but it was their effort, leadership, and ability to impact both the pass and run game that stood out to Mayock. “If you remember when Chris Long got drafted by St. Louis, he was the second pick, and when they drafted him, I knew the kind of player they were getting,” Mayock continued. “Now, they were never able to successfully bring other guys around him, but Chris Long played his butt off every snap of every game, he set a physical edge in the run game, he got his 7, 8, 9, 10 sacks, and he energizes a locker room.”Ferrell wasn’t a top-five talent on every team’s board. But once Nick Bosa was drafted second overall, the Clemson senior became the top defensive end on the Raiders’ board because he was a fit for their scheme and culture they want to establish. “He’s a foundation player,” Mayock explained. “And even more importantly, he’s a three-down defensive end who can stick his hand in the dirt and play on run downs and pass downs. He’s not a guy who’s going to be a designated pass-rusher. He’s in there on every snap. And he’s gonna set the tone for us, as far as these young guys are concerned. I couldn’t wait to get to that pick.”In a perfect world, Mayock and the Raiders would have loved to trade down and still draft Ferrell, but with no offers, they were content selecting him fourth overall. He wasn’t the right pick for every team, but he was the “glue player” the Raiders so desperately needed.
