Chargers in Inglewood? Looks like it
Well, at least it's never been reported that Don Bauder is under criminal investigation.— March 29, 2015 10:01 a.m.
Chargers in Inglewood? Looks like it
don bauder, all fair points, except for one thing. Philip Rivers has never been as good, or as successful as those you mentioned. Moon actually played until he was 44, with his last couple of seasons as a backup. Moon had 3 or 4 good years in the NFL, but by and large he was fairly mediocre, probably due in part to playing on some teams to which being described as mediocre would be a generous exaggeration. There are exceptions to every rule. Guys like Elway, Favre and Manning are certainly exceptions. But my point is that Rivers is not one of those guys at 33 and he's not going to be at 30-40 either. Here's another though. Do you think Tennessee would give up the rights to Marcus Mariotta in an even swap for Rivers,? I don't. No way ANY team gives up the second pick in the draft for 1guy, not even if his name is Rogers. They are going to want a lot more. Maybe not Herschel Walker more, but way more than just an even trade. So are the Chargers willing to give up Rivers and several other players just to get one guy, even if it is Marcus Mariotta? Then on the other side of the equation, would the Chargers accept just Marcus Mariotta for Rivers or would they want more. My guess is the think a "proven" QB is worth more than a rookie, even if is name is Marcus Mariotta. And don't forget about Rivers. He's only got 1 year left on his contract. After 11 years in San Diego, would he be willing to uproot his wife and seven kids and relocate and would ANY team be willing to trade for him unless he agrees to sign a new contract as part of the deal. Read Rivers' quote and you can see where he is at: http://thebiglead.com/2015/03/24/no-philip-rivers…— March 29, 2015 10 a.m.

Don Bauder, It's not about playing, it's about playing well and WINNING. I would rather have a prospect like Marcus Mariotta for the next 15 yrs. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— March 28, 2015 8:10 a.m.
Watershed moment...and the levee holds
According to the complain, Pao was offered the "opportunity" to stay on the payroll for 6 months plus receive an additional $200k in severance if she cooperated in transitioning her board duties to partner. She refused and was terminated 10 days later and received a lump sum payment of 5 months pay and no severance. Don't know about the "female friendliness" of Reddit, but Pao has been there for 2 yrs, after been what was described as “a formal and informal adviser to Reddit for more than a year", (at $600 per hour).— March 28, 2015 8:05 a.m.

ImJustABill I don't see a Tennessee giving a a franchise QB for a 34 yr old QB. As bad as they need a QB now such a move would only put them back in the exact same place they are now 3-5 yrs down the road. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— March 28, 2015 7:39 a.m.
Chargers in Inglewood? Looks like it
Don Bauder A couple of comments. First, the details of the 2 team design were first made public on March 22, so I guess it takes a little while for such things to make it to San Diego. Second, while I firmly believe that the Spanos plan doesn't have pot to piss in when it come to the financial means to equitably participate in the building of a stadium, I believe that "renting" is a viable option. Keep in mind, that the NFL TV contract alone pays each team in the neighborhood of $150 million per season thru 2022. I don't see "making rent" as an issue. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— March 28, 2015 7:33 a.m.

Blackout ban may suggest L.A. mess close to solution
don bauder, The NFL won't be lending relocation money to ANY team that moves to Los Angeles. When the stadium construction support program was reinstituted in 2011 with the G-4 program, a specific requirement is that no team relocating receive funds. Roger Goodell is on record last year saying NFL would not participate financially by loaning stadium funds to any team relocating to Los Angeles.— March 24, 2015 9:31 p.m.
