Carson needs 2 NFL teams to profit

Ethiopian wins his second Boston Marathon title

Afinancial analysis projects that a proposed $ 1.7 billion NFL stadium near Los Angeles would need two teams to call it home to be a steady moneymaker for the city where it would be constructed.

The Raiders and San Diego Chargers are planning the shared stadium on the site of a former landfill in Carson, on the edge of Los Angeles, if both teams fail to get new stadiums in their current hometowns.

According to documents released by the city of Carson on Monday, consultant AECOM estimated that with two teams installed, the city budget would see a net fiscal gain in each of 40 years. Over time, the city could realize approximately $ 140 million from rent and other fees.

However, the report found that if a single team plays in the stadium, the city budget would face “annual fiscal losses in most of the first 30 years.” Thereafter, according to the estimate, the city would bring in a total of $ 85 million.

Chargers attorney Mark Fabiani called the report’s calculations flawed.

The report was released in advance of a Tuesday meeting during which the Carson City Council could endorse the plan and schedule an election for voters.

Former Chicago n Bears linebacker Doug Buffone, whose reputation for being a passionate football player carried over into his career as a sports broadcaster, was found dead Monday in his home, according to police.

Paramedics and police were summoned to Buffone’s home on Chicago’s West Side and found a 70- year- old man dead due to natural causes, a police spokesman said. The man was later identified as Buffone, who played 14 seasons for the Bears.

Buffone retired after the 1979 season with 24 career interceptions, the most for any Bears linebacker. He also held the team’s record for games played with 186.

The Philadelphia Eagles n made if official, signing quarterback Tim Tebow to a one- year contract. Tebow, 27, gets his first shot in the NFL since the New England Patriots cut him before the 2013 season. The Eagles also have quarterbacks Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez, Matt Barkley and G. J. Kinne on their roster.

The Raiders begin n their veteran minicamp Tuesday — their first time taking the field as a team under new coach Jack Del Rio. In an interview on 95.7 The Game, Del Rio said he is glad the team added Michael Crabtree to the receiving corps.

“It’s great to have Michael on board,” he said. “He’s a guy that has an outstanding catching radius. A real good understanding of how to get himself open and find some of the soft spots in a defense .”
