Ronald W. Powell, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman contacted the San Diego Chargers this week about the possibility of beginning talks that could end with relocating the Chargers to Las Vegas. The Chargers responded with a letter informing Goodman that their lease with San Diego prohibits them from talking with other cities until Jan. 1. Goodman said Wednesday, April 26, that he is not deterred. Goodman's overture came as a result of the announcement last week by San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders that he supports allowing the Chargers to explore relocating to other cities in the county in the team's pursuit of a new stadium.
I thought the NFL wanted nothing to do with Las Vegas. You know, to protect their squeaky-clean, 'no one gambles in this league' image. In fact, wasn't it just a year or two ago that the NFL refused to allow Las Vegas commercials to be aired during the Super Bowl?

One more thing -- That Guy, what do you mean by saying that 'Dillon may be done?'
