Edward P. Roski Jr. plans to build an $800 million stadium to bring an NFL team to Los Angeles.
Roski, a developer, plans to construct a 75,000 seat stadium with 175 suites. He plans to either purchase a team or become a minority partner, according to Bloomberg.
“A Los Angeles NFL team would become a part of the fabric of the community and a source of pride, just like the Lakers are,” Roski said at a new conference at Staples Center. (more…)
NFL Network is releasing the 2008 NFL schedule as I type. While this really doesn’t mean that much it’s always one of my favorite days of the off-season.
This year there are a few interesting tidbits. The first thing that jumped out at me is that Miami will visit Buffalo in Toronto this year. Yes, it’s been well-known that the Bills were playing a home game north of the border. (more…)

The New York Times says NFL Films, the New Jersey-based company that has spent the last 50 years documenting the league’s history, may be on the way out.
The Times notes that NFL Films laid off 21 employees and that the league may have shifted its focus to higher-technology media and toward its own NFL Network.
It’d be a shame. More than once I’ve pleasantly wasted an afternoon I planned to spend working on projects listening to John Facenda narrate the nuances of the game.
Hopefully Patriots owner Robert Kraft was serious when he told the Philadelphia Daily News that NFL Films was a part of both the league’s past and its future.
