The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said in Friday's editions that, barring the unexpected, St. Louis will return to the National Football League after an eight-year absence since the Cardinals left for Arizona.
League owners still must approve the move during their annual spring meeting from March 12 to 17 in Phoenix.
FANS Inc. still might be at the mercy of lawyers drafting legal documents and Rams owner Georgia Frontiere giving formal approval to the move. But the newspaper said several sources told it the announcement is planned for Tuesday. Businessman Stan Kroenke of Columbia, Missouri, is expected to own as much as 40 percent of the team.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
