And LA has how many times the population of Jacksonville and Buffalo combined???
Anyway, it's all about the attitude. The best football city in the US is Green Bay, Wisconsin. What is their population? Buffalo has a strong football tradition. Their fans are diehards. LA and Jacksonville??? 
The best situation would have been to move the Arizona Cardinals to LA if the league is so determined to have a team there. But LA is not a football city. Let them have their Lakers and Dodgers and be happy with that.

Last I heard, if any team was moving to LA, it was Indy. Cards are in a top 6 market, so they aren't going anywhere. The NFL wants Bidwell to start fielding a good team so they can take advantage of the market. As it is, they blackout most of the season.
Vikings are pretty rock solid in MIN for now, as they have a pretty ironclad legal lock on the team. If San Diego and/or Indy don't go though, Vikes are probably 3rd on the list.

Arizona is the team I would like to see move, but it won't happen. They're actually building a new stadium from what I understand. I'm sure it will be smaller than the college stadium they play in now, so maybe there will be fewer blackouts (especially with the Sheriff in town and a hope for improvement).
Indy is a team that would make sense too. There's no dearth of NFL teams in the midwest, so they could take the hit.

Looks like they'll be stayin' put... according to "The REAL Feed":
Wilf: Suburb still No. 1 site for new Vikings stadium
ESPN: NFL (20.07.2006 17:16)
Zygi Wilf said that the team's partnership with Anoka County and Blaine for a proposed new stadium remains strong, but skyrocketing construction costs are presenting a problem.
I, for one, do not want L.A. stealing yet another Minnesota team (that belongs nowhere else but Minnesota; the VIKINGS  , like the Lakers  before them, belong RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE... Makes me think wasn't Kobe Bryant on the "Love  Boat"  last year,... evidence the Lakers belong back in Minnesota  )!!!
