Adelson pulls out of Raiders-Vegas

[Faded blues]

Can't sell for seven years so that will be a long drought.

NFL doesn't abide by rules. Let it alone it's own.

By the end of the week, we will know of
Vegas is legit or
Not.

I'm sure u meant End game FB, and I agree....nothing else explains how this thing was put together so badly

And why do you think that is? Deano has turned off countless fans over the years with his ignorance and utter stupidity. But that's not the real problem.

The real problem was 2/3 was NEVER going to happen. We couldn't pass a hotel tax two times for the fire department right after SD got ravaged by wirefires. There was zero chance of Measure C passing to subsidize a jackass owner, who still to this day didn't apologize for the whole Carson fiasco.

The real reason Deano wanted downtown and to tie in TOT and the CC was because he knew it would be a 2/3 vote and would fail because everyone in the city would oppose it (politicians, hoteliers). That right there was his excuse to bail. That's why he never wanted a MV plan.

There was a real good interview a few of weeks ago with one of the Save Our Bolts leaders and he referenced a rally/town hall that took place very early in the process with the Spanii, Maas, Fabiani, etc. there and it was received very well by everyone in attendance. He told Deano that this is what he needs to do all over SD to capture everyone's interest and that would be the only one Deano ever did. He said it was like he told them that this was so effective in the public's eye that they stopped doing it from that day on.

If you plan on selling your business you first gut everything and save everywhere you can.

I agree with you that the bed game is selling the franchise in la.

Funny how the real problem - not enough Charger fans in SD - gets a free pass. Regardless of Faulconer being a slimeball and Deano being a dick, if there were simply enough people in SD who valued Chargers football staying SD, that downtown stadium (paid for by effing tourists!) would've been a slam dunk. I dunno if LA is gonna eventually warm to the Chargers, but not seeing how it could be much worse than recent years (as 6205 points out).

Can't imagine they would bring rookies to SD or have the rookie mini camp there

It would be an extremely dumb move which means it will probably happen.

I don't know about the lease details, but the team already stated that off season activities would happen at Murphy Canyon, but training camp will be at their temporary facility. Maybe they changed their mind and are leaving at the earliest opportunity, who knows as there is almost no news coming from them. I think it was about an hour after the Hall of Fame results were known when they posted the L.T. tribute stuff on their site. Employees have to give them their notice of intention by early March. The draft will be awkward at best... will they bring the rookies to San Diego?

Besides that, I don't think the city is going to start a standard eviction process. But it would be kind of interesting if they send the sheriff there and move their equipment and office stuff on the lawn and chain the doors.

[6025]

I think so. They were supposed to leave by late July, not early June.

The lease is terminated as soon as they trigger the exit clause, which would be May 31 at the latest.

Which begs the question, if they paid the termination fee already, haven't they effectively triggered the exit? If so, kick them out now!

[Bolt-O]

So they will have mini camp at Murphy Canyon?

[bonehead]

This.

They are playing in a soccer stadium for 2 years.

Not leaving Murphy canyon until June 1.

Have no place to practice in la.

Don't even have where they are going to have training camp.

Looks like 1 dumb move after another.

The only consistent mantra is how much money is this gong to save us.

The city made some bad moves but ultimately Deano got clowned by everyone. Kroenke, the NFL, Faulconer, etc. I really liked the downtown idea because it would have solved a lot of problems facing San Diego but Deano throwing up his hands and "giving up" when everyone in the world knew 2/3 was impossible proves it was all a ruse.

There was a deal to be made in MV but Deano couldn't go down that route because 50% just might have passed. I'm convinced that this is all a ploy to sell the team after the increase in value in LA. Yeah, there's that 15 year rule but I think they're going to try to find a way around it. It's the only explanation that makes any sense out of all this because they're going to fail miserably in LA. Every time they do anything, it's a complete f-up.

When's the next logo change?
