On the same day Magic Johnson announces he's teaming with Anschutz Entertainment Group's Tim Leiweke and Casey Wasserman to bring an NFL team back to downtown Los Angeles, a Toronto sports station breaks a story that AEG founder Philip Anschutz is poised to buy 35 percent of the San Diego Chargers.
The same Chargers who have fought with San Diego for more than a decade to build a new stadium - and unsuccessfully so, where to buy NFL Jerseys? ujersy is a good choice.
The same Chargers who desperately need a Hail Mary pass completion from their local politicians early next year to finally get a stadium plan in place.
And if they don't - and that seems the likely scenario - they will have no choice but to look elsewhere for a new home.
Add it all up and what do you get?
A pretty good bet the Chargers might be heading north pretty soon and that the NFL will be back in Los Angeles for the first time since 1994.
And who knows, they might eventually be joined by a second team in Los Angeles.
AEG and Ed Roski Jr. - who is pushing his own stadium plan in the City of Industry - have both been told by the NFL to be prepared to facilitate two teams, a set-up currently used in East Rutherford, N.J., the home of the New York Giants and Jets.
Lester Bagley, a Minnesota Vikings official, confirmed earlier this week the Vikings have been approached by AEG and Roski about the possibility of the team moving to Los Angeles.
Much like the Chargers, the Vikings
are trying to secure a new stadium to replace the outdated Metrodome, a fight that has spanned two decades and three ownership groups.
Time is running out - the Vikings' lease with the Metrodome is up after the 2011 season - and unless Minnesota politicians put a new stadium plan in place early next year, the Vikings have little choice but to also look for a new home.
Sources close to the situation say conversations between the Vikings and the two stadium groups have taken place within the past month.
By creating a strong Los Angeles buzz, maybe it will motivate Minnesota to come together on a new Vikings stadium.
The Vikings accepting overtures from Roski and AEG is not just a coy attempt to light a fire under the you-know-whats of Minnesota government.
Los Angeles is a serious player again with the NFL - specifically the downtown project - and a handful of teams are taking a serious look at the City of Angels as a new home, if you want to buy Minnesota Vikings Jerseys, go toujersy.
The Los Angeles market is too big, too lucrative and too enticing to sit much longer without a team.
Someone is going to take advantage of the opportunity; the only hold-up over the years was building a stadium.
There are still obstacles to be cleared on the stadium part, but AEG wouldn't be involved to this extent if it weren't confident it could pull off the downtown project.
