How about the San Antonio Chargers?
don bauder You are correct. When Al Davis sold 20 percent of his ownership in 2007, part of the deal was contractually guaranteeing Big Al and his heirs controlling interest.— January 26, 2016 10:26 a.m.
How about the San Antonio Chargers?
It will be somewhat difficult for Mark Davis to retain 100 percent ownership of the Raiders when he only has a 47 percent ownership now.— January 26, 2016 9:46 a.m.

How about the San Antonio Chargers?
don bauder, Actually, he didn't continue his Army career. After he was drafted 3rd overall in the NFL draft, he sought a four-month furloughs from military service in order to play in the N.F.L. After he was turned down, he chose a career in the Air Force and became a fighter pilot. My guess is that after losing 3 years due to his service, he decided that being a fighter pilot wasn't too bad of a gig.— January 24, 2016 6 p.m.
How about the San Antonio Chargers?
A little known fact about this team is that it actually folded mid season. The NFL moved the team to Hershey, Pennsylvania, and the team played their last 2 home games there.— January 24, 2016 12:25 p.m.
How about the San Antonio Chargers?
don bauder The Rams first season in Los Angeles was the Browns first season in Cleveland, so I don't know about the Rams leaving because of the Browns arrival. Glenn Davis was a great football player at Westpoint. I would say that it would be hard to quantify how much better, if any, those other teams would have been.They did play some good teams and didn't lose a game in 3 years, including 1945 and 1946 when there were no young men going off to war instead of to college. According to an article I read a few years ago after he died, Davis tore up his knee while making a movie, before he served his 3 yrs in the Army. I think that Davis had a good season as a rookie, but tore the knee up again the next year and was done. I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that tearing up his knee after college, spending 3 years in the Army before joining the Rams and then tearing up the knee again in his second year probably accounts for him being "not that good in the pros" and that the "weak " competition in college had little, if anything, to do with his lack of success in the NFL. I wasn't there, so it's just my opinion. Opinions vary.— January 24, 2016 12:15 p.m.
How about the San Antonio Chargers?
don bauder My prediction is that within the next few week, probably no later than March, the Chargers will announce their agreement with Kroenke to move to Los Angeles. I think it is possible that they will play the 2016 season in San Diego and then relocate for the 2017 season. I think that the Raiders will then relocate to San Diego. I'm guessing that they would move in time for the 2018 season with San Diego agreeing to spend some money to spruce up Qualcomm a bit. That being said, if the Chargers can make arrangement for playing in Los Angeles this season, then the Raiders timetable would move up by a year.. Oakland is smart enough to not give the Raiders any subsidies for a stadium, while San Diego is has proven it is just dumb enough to go ahead and do it. That's just my opinion. Opinions vary.— January 24, 2016 10:08 a.m.
How about the San Antonio Chargers?
don bauder You are partly right, partly wrong and mixing up different teams and different leagues. The Miami Dolphins are the first and only NFL team to play in Miami. There have been several leagues that tried to compete with the NFL. One of them was something called the All-America Football Conference. Although I am familiar with the AAFC and its history with the NFL, I didn’t know that there was a Miami team in that league, one that played only in 1946 and was named the Miami Seahawks. At the end of the first season, the owner went BK and the team was confiscated by the AAFC and its assets were purchased by a group who reorganized it as the original incarnation of the Baltimore Colts. The Colts, along with the Cleveland Browns and the 49er’s merged with the NFL in 1950, but folded after 1 year. There were several teams that merged or folded during the 1940’s, but most of them were due to losing players to WWII service, but as far as I can tell, they all played full home/away schedules; the Miami team actually played almost its entire 2nd half schedule at home. My memory of Buddy Young is that he played for what I thought was the original Baltimore Colts. It seems that while the Colts history went with them to Indy, the NFL doesn’t recognize that first team that played in Baltimore. Young retired before I was born, but I do remember that he was the first black executive hired by a major sports league, as the NFL director of player relations. He did play for the Dallas Texans and the second incarnation of the Baltimore Colts in the NFL, but he got his start playing for the New York Yankees. Not the baseball Yankees, but the pro football Yankees, which was the name of the team before it moved to Texas. Most people probably don’t know about the AAFC, but when they started they had 8 teams, to the NFL's 10, and 2 of them were the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers.— January 24, 2016 9:17 a.m.
