I would nominate the dude who raised the price of an AIDS medication from about $13/pill to $750/pill - Martin Shkreli— December 22, 2015 7:50 p.m.

I appreciate your information - I don't appreciate your supercilious final paragraph. Most Chargers fans - as other people - have busy lives and have many demands on their time work, family, etc which prevent them from reading hundreds of pages of fine print. It's the responsibility of public officials to accurately summarize the fine print of issues involving spending public money to the public and to fairly advocate for the best interests of the public.— December 3, 2015 6:40 p.m.

Many NFL teams have large fan bases in Southern CA - certainly the Raiders but also Cowboys, Steelers, Broncos. This years' MNF against the Steelers (for which the majority of fans at QCOM stadium were Steelers' fans) may become the norm. But I don't think the Spanos' really care what team their customers are rooting for. As long as the fans are buying tickets, food and merchandise the Spanos' and the NFL will be happy.— December 1, 2015 4:13 p.m.

Well, I'm saying even if the stadium wasn't subsidized then it still might have been a good investment. Say Jerry puts in all $1.2B to build Jerry World: Cowboys' value increases more than $1.2B. Of course, if you can get others to invest money and yet you still keep the profits then that is a big win. That's how a lot of the wealthy got to be wealthy.— December 1, 2015 4:07 p.m.

I don't think the LA deal gets done until the NFL gets a sweet taxpayer subsidy set up for the odd man out of the 3 teams. They will lean hard on Oakland, SD, state of MO, possibly San Antonio. The NFL will use the "We're going more to LA" leverage against taxpayers as long as it can, which means until there are only 2 teams without new stadia.— December 1, 2015 11:49 a.m.

I think the Chargers had much better negotiators than Mayor Golding and moving to LA was always at least a strong plan B - maybe plan A from the very start. I think they were probably thinking more like a 10 year plan than a 20 year plan however.— December 1, 2015 11:29 a.m.

Here's my sense of where Chargers fans and local media (at least XTRA 1360 and 1090 AM) feel we are. This is based just on my interpretation of a few local radio shows - esp the "Loose Cannons" on XTRA. 1. The Chargers clearly want to move to L.A. and have wanted to move to L.A. for quite some time. Everyone in the media are well aware of that. 2. Everyone hates MF. I don't think that will ever change. XTRA 1360 keeps playing a soundbite of MF getting viciously booed at the NFL's town hall meeting. And XTRA keeps playing a soundbite about MF mentioning how the worst case for the Chargers would be "stuck in San Diego" 3. Most Chargers fans hate the Spanos's at this point - both for wanting to move to L.A. and for failing to fire non-successful GM's and coaches. If the Chargers somehow end up staying in SD and somehow manage to go deep in the playoffs at some point in the future the fans will love the Spanos family. 4. The rah-rah taxpayer stadium crowd is tentatively behind Falconer and feel that he is trying to keep the Chargers in SD and the Chargers (esp. MF) are the bad guys. But they also think Falconer might know they are gone and is merely putting on a show. The sports media believe the myth that losing a sports team is a nail in the coffin of any politician's career so they believe Falconer will try to save the Chargers. 5. There are increasing rumors (wishful thinking) about building a stadium to lure another team (Raiders, Jaguars) to SD. Seems like a long shot at this point.— December 1, 2015 11:24 a.m.

MF (appropriate initials BTW) plays the bad cop to a T. His job is to make San Diegans hate him more than they hate the Spanos family. If the Chargers are "stuck" in San Diego (MF's words) than I agree the Spanos will need to get rid of MF.— December 1, 2015 10:33 a.m.
