And Payton and Brees weren’t high profile?

Markets are the most important, but if you can't have a big market then a star player is next. Our SB may have been a Katrina residual. SP and DB were good enough to let us in the playoffs. But if it's a choice between LA and a new stadium and SP and DB Rodger will pick LA everytime

Then why didn’t the League fix it for ‘06 and not ‘09?
Why wait four years?

That would have been too obvious. and SP and DB didn't have star power yet

But I thought ‘09 was “Favre’s Magical Year.”

But why not go after KC and split that team up?
Surely they would rather Mahomes somewhere like Chicago than flyover country!

EXACTLY. I had this same debate with a coworker that isn't from LA a while back. If they wanted to gift us one, they wouldn't waste an extra NFC CG appearance on us. They woulda just made it a one-year Cinderella thing and then moved on to their next money-making agenda.
