Many people have wondered if the St. Louis Rams are going to become (again) the Los Angeles Rams, and there has been a lot of smoke to that potential fire.

The NFL — inadvertantly, perhaps — has tossed a little gas on this chatter.

If you type in this to your browser:

http://www.nfl.com/teams/profile?team=LA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You get this:

Yes, that's a legit web page, and it legitimately says "Los Angeles Rams" with the specs and stats from the current St. Louis club, in case you thought somehow there was a dead LA page of yore still living.

And before you assume that this is just an honest or quirky mistake, think about it: Someone on the web team had to develop this page with the "LA" suffix. For instance, when I type in "AND" for my hometown of Andover, Mass., I get nada. (Actually, it reverts back to the index page for the NFL teams.)

They must have caught on because that link sends you to the St. Louis Rams site.

It now redirects to the NFL home page, but there are screen shots of it.

Someone is getting their ass handed to them right now

Yup - that is what it does now.
