NFL owners set special LA vote meeting for Jan. 12-13

Goodell said Wednesday that team owners at their meetings discussed the officiating, which is an “integrity of the game” issue.

The old guard of National Football League owners leads an insurrection against the big money National Football League owners and Goodell, and vote to approve the Carson project.

“All the proposals must be in by the end of December”, Tisch said.

What constitutes a completed catch has been a controversial subject for years. Goodell said “no stone will be left unturned” in examining and improving officiating.

Ultimately, that could be the best solution for the Raiders and the rest of the NFL. He also said the league has hit a stumbling back with the officials’ union over full-time officials. Let’s try to get back to Los Angeles in a successful way for those teams that qualify. Manning isn’t close to being healthy. And the much-referenced alternate plan, to force them into Levi’s Stadium over the dead bodies of both the 49ers and Raiders, still seems more appealing to media nitwits (yes, I am a member) than to anyone who has a say in the matter. “I’m following his instructions”. Everybody asks, ‘Is it better? “And I don’t know where it would fall in the ultimate category of tiebreakers”. “All the other questions and speculation, I don’t have anything for you on that”. “It’s Dean Spanos”, said Davis in response to the partnership with Kroenke, via Rapoport’s Twitter account. He said he’ll start his rehab Saturday “and after that I’m just kind of on a one-week-at-a-time basis”. That injury led to the switch to Osweiler, who has led the Broncos to wins over Chicago and New England. He said he has not thought about his playing future beyond trying to get back on the practice field. “There’s a financial situation that makes it probably more of a tenable situation now than it has been in the past”, he said.

“We want to hear more as we move forward in the next five weeks”, he said.

As we expected, the NFL Ownership reaffirmed their desire to finish the Los Angeles melodrama with a potential relocation vote in January. Even that might not be enough, as Goodell made clear after the meetings ended.

“If the ultimate decision is they don’t get 24 votes to move, then ownership doesn’t have the right to move”, Goodell says. “There are still a lot of unknowns”.

After making a presentation to the league Wednesday in a Dallas suburb, Raiders owner Mark Davis expects to know soon which of three teams hoping to relocate – the Raiders, San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Rams – will call southern California home in 2016. He also strongly defended the three-quarters majority for approval.

For Los Angeles, there are two separate stadium proposals, one that would have the Rams play in Inglewood with the other, backed jointly by the Chargers and Raiders, for a venue in nearby Carson.

At the same time, some owners welcomed last week’s offer by Rams owner Stan Kroenke to share his proposed stadium in Inglewood with a second team. New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch indicated that proposals from the team’s will face a deadline which expires at the end of the year.

Roethlisberger was struck in the head late in the fourth quarter of the Steelers’ 39-30 loss in Seattle on Sunday and suffered a concussion.

BEREA, Ohio – Austin Davis, after weeks as a third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, is the new starter – No. 24 for the club since 1999. Manziel was recently stripped of his starting job by Pettine after a video surfaced of the second-year quarterback partying in Texas during the team’s bye week.

Luck was injured on November 8 against Denver, and two days later he was diagnosed with a lacerated kidney and a partially torn abdominal muscle.

The fact that all three teams have been based in L.A. before and chose to leave is fitting in the relocation discussion. Revis has not practiced since being hurt and coach Todd Bowles said he hasn’t been able to attend team meetings.

The Chiefs announced the moves before Wednesday’s practice. The new wrinkle is was at right tackle.
