For the NFL and owner Stan Kroenke, the watershed moment has arrived in the Los Angeles Rams relocation lawsuit.
With a trial set to begin on Jan. 10, the whiff of a courtroom war is in the air. Not only between the city of St. Louis and the NFL, but possibly between Kroenke and his fellow team owners. And this week looks very much like the tipping point. If the NFL owners pull back, it likely means they'll write a very big check and agree to share the pain of the financial uppercut Kroenke appears destined to absorb.
