When I interviewed Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon last week, we discussed a number of subjects including the status of the St. Louis stadium plan, the effort to keep the Rams, the fairness of the NFL's relocation guidelines, Nixon's relationship with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and the future of NFL football in STL.
Nixon has taken the high road with Stan Kroenke, refraining from criticism of the Rams owner and making it clear that keeping the Rams here is the No. 1 priority. Nixon's diplomacy with regards to Kroenke and the Rams has scored points at the NFL headquarters.
