On the one hand, we have the National Football League which is practically drooling all over itself to put a team in Los Angeles.
This is in spite of the fact that Angelinos have said repeatedly they don't want pro football and in spite of the fact there doesn't seem to be much of a place to put a new stadium or much interest in renovating existing facilities.
On the other hand, we have Major League Baseball and its broadcast network partners, which can't stand the thought of showing a game from Los Angeles or a game with a Los
Angeles team on the field. Wonder of wonders – the Dodgers were on the national game last night and will be on again this weekend.
Why?
Because Boston and the New York Yankees are providing the opposition.
In this corner, the cry of "setting up a schedule with the most interest to the most people" rings a little hollow these days.
