Ever since San Diego voters rejected a stadium proposal on November 8th, all signs have pointed towards the Chargers exorcising their option to join the Rams in Los Angeles. However, it looks like there could be one last ditch chance that the Chargers could stay in San Diego: www.10news.com/news/chargers-watch-a-new-hopeHere's hoping something gets done to keep them SD. They have until January 15 to decide whether or not they're going to share the new stadium in LA (according to the deal the NFL made with the Rams, Chargers and Raiders last year)

Apparently the NFL owners talked very little about the Chargers situation at their meeting today. Though the deadline for the Chargers to make their decision has been moved to January 17 (to avoid conflict with the divisional games and MLK day)

It's official, the San Diego Chargers are now the Los Angeles Chargers.
They will play the 2017 and 2018 seasons at the 30,000 seat Stubhub Center, home to the MLS LA Galaxy, before becoming a tenant in the Rams new Inglewood stadium in 2019.

Given the current state of the team they'll be lucky to even fill that

Didn't really want to see this. San Diego is a great city.
Was hoping they found a way to put a new stadium downtown near Petco, but that obviously didn't work out. Petco is one of the best parks in the MLB, and a good part of that is where it's located. It's a shame for the city that things didn't work out.
Qualcomm might be the worst stadium I've ever visited.

Jacksonville will move to England, that's the worst kept secret in the NFL.
It's a real shame to see the Superchargers move. Old school AFC West action. RIP.

I don't see how it's logistically possible for a team to operate out of London. As it is now teams that play there do so leading into their bye week. The Jags cannot possibly have a bye after each road trip. Besides, if you think they have an attendance problem now wait until you send a 4-12 team into a market that truly doesn't give a shat about the sport. Hell, it didn't even take LA half a season to stay away from the Rams.

I agree I don't see the NFL sending a team to London anytime soon
