“Chip Rosenbloom is producing movies,” offered Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff about the heir to the late Georgia Frontiere. “And wait until next season. The Rams will do much better.”  Demoff was surrounded at lunch at Il Bel Lago at lunch with the team’s “partner” – Edward Jones exec Steve Clement, Michael O’Keefe and Rams director of partnerships, Susan Slemmer.

A somewhat confusing article in the national Sports Business Journal this week may shed some light on the football futures of the heirs of the late Georgia Frontiere.  According to writer Daniel Kaplan (who, like the columnist, does not reveal sources), Missouri real sports/estate exec Stan Kroenke has proposed to match a February 2010 offer for the St. Louis Rams made by Illinois auto parts magnate Shahid Kahn to purchase some of the team over time, paying interest to Chip Rosenblum and Lucia Rodriguez for their continuing to own an unspecified portion of the team for an undisclosed amount of time.  The article, if accurate, suggests that Georgia’s heirs could remain minority owners of the Rams for a while, no matter who buys it.  That’s good news for people who like the unassuming duo.
