Football News? On This Blog?

The San Diego Chargers are moving to Los Angeles.  There is no human being on this planet who cares less about football than I do so this is of interest to me for one and only one reason: It ends any possibility that the demands of that team's owners to make more money will jeopardize Comic-Con.  In fact, it means that Comic-Con is now probably the most important "event" in San Diego and has more clout than ever.

In an e-mail to me, my pal Douglass Abramson reminded me that San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer really, really wants to be Governor of California.  As is, he probably stands about the same chance of attaining his goal as I do of becoming Lord Great Chamberlain of the United Kingdom but Faulconer could lower his chances if he presided over the loss of both the city's NFL franchise and its biggest tourist magnet. So maybe that convention center expansion will finally happen.
