Roger Goodell nixes L.A. team in 2015

espn.go.comAs if there were any questions, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell put an end to them this week when he told the San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams that there will not be a team that moves to Los Angeles for next season, according to league sources.
The Chargers announced they would stay in San Diego for the 2015 season after being told by Roger Goodell that the NFL would not accept any relocation bids to Los Angeles in 2015, according to sources.
Goodell also told the Chargers, Raiders and Rams — each of whom can file a relocation application for the 2015 season starting Jan. 1 — that any team that is considering relocating to Los Angeles should look to 2016 instead, according to sources.
Once Goodell delivered that message to teams, the Chargers announced that they were going to be staying in San Diego.
Goodell’s message still doesn’t stop a team such as the Raiders or Rams from filing a relocation application. But those applications, which would require a super majority for approval, would not have the league’s support and likely would be rejected.
So the wait for a team in Los Angeles now is expected to go on until 2016, at least.
The Chargers announced Tuesday that they will not exercise their right to terminate their lease at Qualcomm Stadium, stating that they will continue their attempt to build “a Super Bowl-quality” stadium in San Diego.
According to team executive Mark Fabiani, the Chargers are keeping a watchful eye on what happens in Los Angeles, with 30 percent of the team’s local revenue — which includes advertising, sponsorships, club seats and suites — originating in the Los Angeles market.
ESPN.com Chargers reporter Eric D. Williams contributed to this report.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12049182/jacksonville-jaguars-receivers-wear-breathe-t-shirtsJACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars receiving corps wore “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirts during pregame warmups prior to Thursday night’s 21-13 win against the Tennessee Titans.
Cecil Shorts III, Marqise Lee, Ace Sanders and Allen Hurns wore the shirts while they were running around the field and catching passes more than two hours before kickoff at EverBank Field.
It’s the first time the group has worn those shirts during warmups this season.
Defensive end Ryan Davis was also spotted wearing the shirt during warmups.
College, high school, and professional athletes across the country have worn the shirts over the past several weeks as a tribute to New Yorker Eric Garner, who died in July after being put in a chokehold by police while being subdued.
President Obama praised LeBron James for wearing one during pregame warmups before the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against Brooklyn on Dec. 9.

The Patriots would be nowhere without Tom Brady. They got lucky as hell in drafting him as we did in signing Kurt Warner. Without Brady, the Patriots with Belichick would be just like the Cleveland Browns with Belichick. The Patriots also have signed a lot of low end free agents and have gotten a lot of value from them – Randy Moss, LeGarrett Blount, Darrelle Revis, Brandon Lafell, etc… and I believe that many FAs are attracted to the patriots because of Brady, not Belichick.Well, Brady is a great one,
but they have managed to surround him
with a Good Oline year after year.
They just seem to plug in RBs
and WRs.w
vThey do have a technically sound and very good O line for pass protection, not sure they stand out on run blocking.
This is just me watching games, not breaking down film or really analyzing anything from a technical perspective, but watch how the Patriots O line pass blocks. They stay in their areas and don’t chase the D lineman on stunts or crosses. They have perfect posture, perfect balance and use their hands effectively making them almost immovable. They keep square to the pass rusher, meaning they move their feet well and rarely get in a position to need to take a holding penalty. They are very disciplined and work very well together as a unit, not a group of five one-on-one match ups. I hate the Patriots to my core but I admire their policy and training on pass blocking. From the looks of their roster, this technique and style and discipline is teachable to almost anyone. There have had some notable draft picks and free agents on their line, but for the most part, they are just offensive linemen who are good athletes with size and teachable. I credit Brady and their O line coach for much of their success.
Yes, I’ve noticed their OLines too.
zn has posted about their great old OLine coach.
I think he retired last year.Belichick and Brady are the keys, i guess,
but that organization has the most “brains”
in the league. I mean, just look at the
won-loss record over the last ten years.
There’s somethin special about that collection
of brains.…nevertheless, they must be stopped.
Someone must take the ring to Boston
and throw it at the Sam Adams Brewery.w
