ESPN: Arizona to host 2015 Pro Bowl

 

The NFL announced Wednesday that the 2015 Pro Bowl will precede the Super Bowl by a week on the same field. The Pro Bowl will be played at 8 p.m. ET on Jan. 25, 2015, and will air on ESPN. The Super Bowl is Feb. 1.

 

According to the NFL's release, the Pro Bowl will move back to Hawaii in 2016. Through an agreement between the league and Hawaii, the 2017 game is supposed to be played at Aloha Stadium, "but final confirmation of the game will be made at a later date," the release stated.

I've got five bucks on Tennessee...

Ravens at 30-1 is good value. By the end of the draft, I'll be surprised if the Ravens don't look like a Top 3 AFC team.

[bnickle]

Ravens arrow appears to be pointing up. Would definitely consider them one of the Top 5 favs if Kubiak were still here. Some concern with the transition to Trestman.

Still, 30-1 seems like good value. If I was betting I would take any teams with proven QBs and really good odds. Give me Pitt 20-1, Giants 40-1, Chargers 40-1, Saints 25-1.

Many of the key pieces getting up there in age? I guess he means Ngata, Dumervil, Ngata and D. Smith. All of those guys we have good depth for except for maybe Suggs. But the future of our interior line and LB's is great. I don't know why age is worth mentioning in regard to the Ravens.

Steelers are laughably overrated. Yeah, LeBeau was the problem. Lol. Also, only a matter of time before Ben is hurt again.

I have the Padres winning the Super Bowl next year.

Deadspin: Wait, Jesus Christ, There's A Different Ball Scandal? What The Fuck?

 

I get that you have deflation fatigue. But this is important, because it's turned what was in danger of becoming a boring, technicality-based scandal into yet another NFL Keystone Kops routine.

Chargers, Raiders propose shared NFL stadium in Carson

 

The San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, rivals on the field, are moving forward together on a plan to build a $1.7-billion NFL stadium in Carson that they will share.

[Chris B]

Well that's big news

Chargers, Raiders propose shared NFL stadium in Carson

 

Yeah, sure they're going to share

 

It's going to be the Rams and one of the two. No way both end up there.

The article says the teams don't have the money to do it alone, and doesn't sound like much public financing is available in LA....it's the potential revenue streams in that market that make it attractive if you're going to finance a stadium. It sounds like the race is on.

Then neither is going to move.

 

The Rams are gone. Unless someone in LA manages to block Kroenke's project, that stadium appears to be a guarantee; they've already broken ground on the rest of the complex. Mike Florio has already talked a bit about how Kroenke very likely would go full Al Davis if the league made an attempt to block him.

 

They won't let three teams move to the city. If one of the two other stadium plans is still considered cost-effective after the Hollywood Park project, maybe the Raiders or Chargers can partner up. But most likely they will end up a tenant, and the other will either take whatever they can get from Oakland/San Diego or move elsewhere (probably St. Louis, if the state of Missouri does what they are saying and builds their planned stadium no matter what).
