SAN DIEGO (AP) -Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman continues to roll the dice trying to lure the San Diego Chargers to his gambling and entertainment mecca. Although the Chargers haven't responded - yet - to overtures from cities outside San Diego County, the team's top negotiator said Goodman called earlier this week to say he's still interested in having the team move to his city. It was the second time in less than nine months that Goodman contacted Southern California's only NFL team, which says it needs a |

Other candidates talked to in last year's search included Louisville coach Bobby Petrino, Fresno State coach Pat Hill, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and San Diego Chargers receivers coach James Lofton. It's unclear if any of those coaches would be candidates again. Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

| San Diego, CA (MySportsbook) - San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson added one more accomplishment to his remarkable season on Thursday, as he was named the Associated Press' Most Valuable Player for the 2006 campaign.

He finished with an NFL-high 1,815 yards on 348 carries and added 56 receptions for |

Led by league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson and sackmaster Shawne Merriman, they're the most-balanced team he's had in his 13 forays into the postseason.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -The best Philip Rivers could do on Wednesday was offer a prediction. ``I will feel good,'' said Rivers, who wore a protective boot on his sprained right foot and was mostly a spectator when his San Diego Chargers went through a short practice. Rivers hurt his foot Sunday as the Chargers won their 10th straight game. He missed only one play before coming back to throw two touchdown passes in a 27-20 win against Arizona that clinched home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Cha |
