Blackout ban may suggest L.A. mess close to solution
Is Phil Kroenke related to Stan Kroenke? I don't believe that the fact that the NFL will end its blackout rule is really all that telling. After the FCC vote last October, it seemed a foregone conclusion that the NFL would do the same, which was what several owners had reportedly said. Out of 960 regular season games over the last 2 seasons, only 3 were blacked out. Since no owner may petition to move their team until after the upcoming season is over, that aspect seems to be mute.. I think more telling is this: http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-nfl-meeti… The NFL wants back in Los Angeles. If Stan Kroenke wants to build a stadium there, it seems to be likely it will be built to eventually accommodate 2 2 teams. It also appears that if he wants to move the Rams back to Los Angeles, he can move the Rams back to Los Angeles. The NFL also seems to be saying, to San Diego specifically it seems, is that if you want to have the NFL, you better keep the Chargers because no one else is going to relocate their team there with 2 teams in Los Angeles. As of today, Spanos is worth $1.26 billion and the Chargers are $995 million of that valeu. The Spanos clan can't do anything on their own, so their best move, apart from getting the city of San Diego to build them a new stadium might be to rent rather than own.— March 24, 2015 4:24 p.m.
Chargers reach deal with city; fans rejoice
Well, at least there is something Charger fans in San Diego can happy about. "The NFL will not block any games from local television during the 2015 season. The league said Monday that team owners voted for a one-year suspension of the long-standing blackout policy for the preseason and regular season. There were no blackouts last season because the minimum number of tickets were sold for every game, and the league had only two blackouts in 2013." So even if Rivers gets traded and the Chargers suck, they will still be on TV. I'm lookin' forward to the Steelers game myself.— March 23, 2015 2:13 p.m.

Environmentalists against solar power
You know, I've been driving past the wind farm in San Gorgonio Pass since they started building it in the early '80's. And I have to admit that every time I drive past it, I always ask myself the same question. It's NOT how many birds have the turbines killed; in fact I've never had that thought even a single time. It's why aren't there MORE turbines. The site generates enough electricity to power Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley.— March 20, 2015 9:03 a.m.
Damn, Jan, you're in a jam
You know, until I read this comment, I had forgotten how long Goldie has been in office. Hard to believe he took out Aquirre that long ago. And if I remember correctly, didn't he run without opposition in the last election? Man, people in San Diego really, really didn't like Mike!!— March 20, 2015 8:49 a.m.
Environmentalists against solar power
"In 2009 there were 12.5 bird kills per MW installed wind capacity. In 2012 there were 9.5 bird kills per MW installed wind capacity. That’s a 24% decrease. A very major improvement in bird safety. " Or maybe, it's just that there are fewer birds left to kill.— March 19, 2015 5:27 p.m.
Small boost in price of San Bruno explosion
IF Peevey ever has to defend himself in a criminal action, which I think is highly doubtful, I would imagine it would be the CPUC who picks up the tab, which means it will be ALL taxpayers, not just the rate payers.— March 18, 2015 12:05 p.m.
AEG pulls out of L.A. stadium negotiations
Well, as long as they don't move north of the OC-SD county line, I really don't care where they end up.— March 13, 2015 4:53 p.m.

AEG pulls out of L.A. stadium negotiations
matt101 Valid points, all. But you were incorrect about one thing. A stadium in Carson is indeed 100% absurd!!! NO ONE is going to pay $3 billion plus for a stadium in Los Angeles and that is what it would end up costing if GS is involved.— March 12, 2015 8:04 a.m.
