Over the weekend, the St. Louis Rams and San Diego Chargers each won what may prove to be their final home games in their current cities. Both teams are currently exploring moves to Los Angeles and it is looking increasingly likely that relocation is in the cards for at least one of them.

On this week's episode of "The Second Half," Huffington Post sports reporter Travis Waldron and NFL veteran Dont Stallworth discuss the possibility of the Rams, Chargers or Oakland Raiders calling LA home as early as next season.

The LA dealings are the latest example of the way NFL teams pit cities against each other in an effort to win new stadiums -- which are paid for with massive public subsidies. The league has used LA as a bargaining chip before, most recently when the Minnesota Vikings scored a new stadium from state and local taxpayers.

It appears the league actually may be serious about relocation this time, but the charade is still playing out. St. Louis has approved a deal to build a new stadium, but it wants the NFL to pay more than the league is willing to, causing Commissioner Roger Goodell to call the proposal was fundamentally inconsistent with the NFLs program of stadium financing.

The NFL, too, has balked at other ways St. Louis has attempted to pay for the stadium, in part because the city wants to divert some in-stadium revenues that would normally go to owners, as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch explained last week .

Cities have traditionally met these demands, costing taxpayers as much as $3 billion -- even though research has shown that the venues don't generate the economic benefits stadium proponents say they do, and that most of the positive effects go to the teams' owners. It's easy to question whether the stadiums are worth the taxpayer funds that go toward paying for them .

The future of the Rams, Chargers and Raiders remains unclear, but with owners set to discuss the relocation attempts at a special meeting in January, the picture could become clearer soon. Whatever happens, it seems NFL fans -- and taxpayers -- in at least one of cities are set to come out on the losing end yet again.
