Re: John Shaw

Below is the first paragraph in a lengthy ESPN article describing the battle to bring football to Los Angeles. The article was published in Feb. 2016. Now... if John Shaw left the Rams in 2010, why would a 2016 article state that he still works in an L.A. office "as if they never left"? I think there's definitely something to the idea that John Shaw still "advises" Kroenke in some capacity.

The Real Story Behind NFL Owners' Battle to Bring Football to Los Angeles

The Wow Factor
Few could have guessed that the league's return would become so bloody, bitter and, most of all, emblematic of how power in the NFL truly works.

On West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles, an overgrown tree obscures a whitewashed, two-story building sandwiched between a radio station and a studio lot. Inside, it's a time warp. The battered carpet is blue, and the rippled wallpaper is bubbling, peeling off. Behind glass is a showcase of dull trophies and yellowed photos from another era. Everything is labeled "Los Angeles Rams." That team, of course, left LA, its home for nearly half a century, for St. Louis after the 1994 season. But on most days since, this nondescript office has remained open, staffed by two people: John Shaw, the former team president who engineered the franchise's flight from Anaheim to St. Louis, and his secretary. They work in this nearly invisible team outpost, as if the Rams never left.
