In late July, the Baltimore Ravens signed David Olson, who'd never played in the NFL but did see action in the Arena Football League. Seattle, the only team Kaepernick visited, \u003ca href=\"http://www.syracuse.com/sports/index.ssf/2017/06/seattle_seahawks_skip_colin_kaepernick_sign_austin_davis_as_backup_qb.html\">eventually didn't sign him either\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, \"He [Kaepernick] is a starter in this league. We have a starter, but he's a starter in this league and I can't imagine that somebody won't give him a chance to play.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether a starting player or backup, Kaepernick appears NFL-ready. He led the San Francisco 49ers to two NFC conference championship games. Following the 2012 season, he led the Niners to the Super Bowl, where they lost by 3 points to the Ravens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's ancient history to teams that want to win \u003cem>now\u003c/em>. But Kaepernick also measures up based on more recent statistics. Last season he started 11 games for the 49ers, one of the worst teams in the NFL. They won only one of the games Kaepernick started. Still, he threw 16 touchdown passes and had only four interceptions. His touchdown-to-interception ratio ranked \u003ca href=\"https://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/touchdown-to-interception-ratio/2016/\">7th in the NFL\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003cem>Washington Post \u003c/em>article in May proclaimed Kaepernick \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2017/05/16/colin-kaepernick-is-statistically-superior-to-half-of-the-nfls-backups-and-deserves-a-job/?utm_term=.77326aa56ca5\">statistically superior to half of the NFL's backup quarterbacks\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he declared himself a free agent in March, Kaepernick probably thought he had a good chance to sign with another team. Although he'd slipped from his form during those winning years with the 49ers, he's a proven quarterback -- and proven quarterbacks are a must for NFL success. No one knows that better than Kaepernick's fellow players, who are starting to wonder why he still doesn't have a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My original position was I thought that the situation last year with him taking a knee didn't have anything to do with it [Kaepernick not being signed],\" Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin said last week. \"After viewing what's going on, I've got to take that back. I definitely think that the league, the owners are trying to send a message of, 'stay in between the lines.' It's frustrating because you want to have guys who are willing to speak out about things that they believe in, whether you agree with it or not. But I think that's definitely playing a role now, more so than I thought it was going to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also last week, Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Malcolm Jenkins \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-malcolm-jenkins-calls-teams-cowards-for-not-signing-colin-kaepernick/\">blasted teams for not signing Kaepernick\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is just some other teams being, quite honestly, cowards,\" Jenkins said. \"To say that they're afraid of backlash to sign someone to make their team better, when fans' input has never been in the equation when it comes to signing people in the past. It's certain owners' way of making an example out of [Kaepernick] to discourage anybody else from doing what he did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Idea of collusion is \"crazy\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, New York Giants co-owner John Mara, who's been with the team for nearly 25 years, waded into the \u003ca href=\"https://www.si.com/mmqb/2017/05/25/nfl-colin-kaepernick-new-york-city-support-rally-nfl-headquarters\">Kaepernick controversy\u003c/a> with comments about fan reaction to the quarterback's protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All my years being in the league,\" Mara said, \"I have never received more emotional mail from people than I did about that issue. [People wrote] 'If any of your players ever do that, we are never coming to another Giants game.' It wasn't one or two letters. It was a lot. It's an emotional, emotional issue for a lot of people, more so than any other issue I've run into.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Mara this week \u003ca href=\"http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2017/08/giants_owner_john_mara_says_idea_of_colin_kaeperni.html\">denied any collusion\u003c/a> by him or other owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Anybody that thinks that there's been any conversations going on among teams about Colin Kaepernick is crazy,\" Mara said. \"That just is not the case. I think there are certain issues obviously that go along with Colin Kaepernick, and that may have scared some teams away, but there is absolutely no blackball going on here. I just don't see that at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>History repeating\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kaepernick's supporters say it's hypocritical for owners to be scared away by Kaepernick's politics, considering the examples of bad behavior by players and others tied to the league in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It doesn't really matter if it's collusion or culture,\" said sociologist Harry Edwards. \"But you cannot have people [in the NFL] associated with double murders, dog fighting, rape, drug use, vehicular manslaughter and violence against women, from owners all the way down to rookie players ... [and] a man who takes a knee, and says we can be better [as a society], cannot even be given a chance to compete for a roster spot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edwards is a professor emeritus in sociology at UC Berkeley. He's been a staff consultant with the 49ers since 1985, has advised Kaepernick since the player's rookie season in 2011, and has been a leading figure at the nexus of sports, politics and activism for the past 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Edwards sees history potentially repeating itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the league's handling of [the Kaepernick situation] has been atrocious,\" Edwards said. \"I think the sports establishment has learned nothing in the last 50 years, going back to Muhammad Ali.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By vilifying Ali and his controversial political stands, \"the sports establishment made Ali a martyr,\" said Edwards, \"so he became widely celebrated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edwards said he sent an email to Roger Goodell \"urging him not to make Colin Kaepernick a martyr.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let him play football,\" he said he told Goodell. \"Let him do what he's going to do and manage it. We have to manage these things we can neither eliminate nor avoid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly \u003ca href=\"http://nebula.wsimg.com/1abf21ec51fd8dafbecfc2e0319a6091?AccessKeyId=DAC3A56D8FB782449D2A&disposition=0&alloworigin=1\">70 percent of the NFL's players are African-American\u003c/a>. Edwards said if support grows among those players for Kaepernick and Kaepernick's message, \"it could get too complicated for them [the league] to manage at any level.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Kaepernick appears to \u003ca href=\"http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18805744/colin-kaepernick-stand-national-anthem-next-season\">have moved beyond protest\u003c/a> to programs, Edwards said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He [Kaepernick] has \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2017/04/20/colin-kaepernick-donations/100699392/\">spent almost $2 million\u003c/a> in money, time, material support. All kinds of things in order to wake people up that we can all do better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That seems to be something the NFL would want modeled,\" Edwards said. \"Not only should they be embracing him [Kaepernick], they should be looking for his input. How do we [the NFL] get better in terms of how we manage these situations?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL did not respond to an NPR request for comment on the current situation with Kaepernick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Protest still to come\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaepernick has not spoken publicly during this period of time; he hasn't weighed in on the discussion about why he doesn't have a job and possible collusion. Edwards hasn't spoken recently with Kaepernick but said he has talked to members of \"his inner circle and management team.\" Through them, Edwards says Kaepernick is focused on getting a job in football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters, however, are speaking up. This week, several groups announced they'll hold a public rally in support of Kaepernick on Aug. 23 in front of the NFL's New York City headquarters. Among those announcing support for Kaepernick was filmmaker Spike Lee, although Lee denied he's \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailynews.com/social-affairs/20170808/spike-lee-denies-organizing-colin-kaepernick-support-rally\">organizing the rally\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a new petition is targeting the NFL and its sponsors. Petition organizers are trying to get a million signatures by the start of the NFL regular season on Sept. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they're urging people to boycott NFL games if Colin Kaepernick doesn't play this season.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We have to manage these things we can neither eliminate nor avoid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly \u003ca href=\"http://nebula.wsimg.com/1abf21ec51fd8dafbecfc2e0319a6091?AccessKeyId=DAC3A56D8FB782449D2A&disposition=0&alloworigin=1\">70 percent of the NFL's players are African-American\u003c/a>. Edwards said if support grows among those players for Kaepernick and Kaepernick's message, \"it could get too complicated for them [the league] to manage at any level.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Kaepernick appears to \u003ca href=\"http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18805744/colin-kaepernick-stand-national-anthem-next-season\">have moved beyond protest\u003c/a> to programs, Edwards said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He [Kaepernick] has \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2017/04/20/colin-kaepernick-donations/100699392/\">spent almost $2 million\u003c/a> in money, time, material support. All kinds of things in order to wake people up that we can all do better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That seems to be something the NFL would want modeled,\" Edwards said. \"Not only should they be embracing him [Kaepernick], they should be looking for his input. How do we [the NFL] get better in terms of how we manage these situations?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL did not respond to an NPR request for comment on the current situation with Kaepernick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Protest still to come\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaepernick has not spoken publicly during this period of time; he hasn't weighed in on the discussion about why he doesn't have a job and possible collusion. Edwards hasn't spoken recently with Kaepernick but said he has talked to members of \"his inner circle and management team.\" Through them, Edwards says Kaepernick is focused on getting a job in football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters, however, are speaking up. This week, several groups announced they'll hold a public rally in support of Kaepernick on Aug. 23 in front of the NFL's New York City headquarters. Among those announcing support for Kaepernick was filmmaker Spike Lee, although Lee denied he's \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailynews.com/social-affairs/20170808/spike-lee-denies-organizing-colin-kaepernick-support-rally\">organizing the rally\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a new petition is targeting the NFL and its sponsors. Petition organizers are trying to get a million signatures by the start of the NFL regular season on Sept. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tourists will pay increased room taxes to fund $750 million of the cost of a new $1.9 billion stadium as part of a deal rammed through a special session of the Nevada Legislature by powerful casino owner Sheldon Adelson's family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stadium will be just off the glittering Las Vegas Strip, where the Golden Knights will begin play this fall in a new arena of their own. The expansion hockey team is the first major sports franchise to call the city home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Without the Golden Knights I don't know if the Raiders would have thought this was a viable market,\" Sisolak said. \"They kind of broke the glass ceiling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If approved, the move would be the third announced by an NFL team in a year as the league undergoes a geographic shift unlike any in recent history. The Rams returned to Los Angeles from St. Louis this season, while the San Diego Chargers will begin play in L.A. next season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(Raiders owner) Mark Davis is a man of his word, and the filing of the Raiders' application for relocation of the franchise with the NFL is a significant step in bringing the team to Las Vegas,\" Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL has long been opposed to any association with Las Vegas, to the point where just a few years ago it refused to allow the city to advertise on the Super Bowl telecast because it offered legal betting. But the league's opposition has softened, and so has the stance of Commissioner Roger Goodell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there are some real strengths to the Las Vegas market,\" Goodell said at an owners' meeting last month. \"It's clear the Las Vegas market has become a more diversified market, more broadly involved with entertainment, hosting big events. And there's a growth to the market.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Vegas, which has about 2.5 million people in the metropolitan area, would be a smaller market than the Bay Area. But fans from other cities are expected to fill a third of the proposed 65,000-seat stadium, and the team will also be able to draw on Raiders fans throughout California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Influential owners like Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots have spoken favorably about the prospects of a move, and Raiders owner Mark Davis has been lobbying behind the scenes to secure the votes of three-fourths of the 32 owners needed for relocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote is expected to take place during league meetings March 26-29 in Phoenix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis did not comment Thursday on the relocation application, but has made no secret of his commitment to Las Vegas. At a stadium meeting last year in the city he brought along a program from a 1964 American Football League exhibition game in the city, where the Raiders beat the Houston Oilers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis has said the team will continue to play in Oakland until the Las Vegas stadium is finished, likely by the 2020 season. There are two sites currently being looked at for the stadium, both adjacent to the Strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One possible hang-up could be Adelson's participation in the project. He's the one who initiated conversations with Davis last January, and was instrumental in getting a tax increase passed by the state legislature in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adelson's family has offered $650 million toward the stadium, but has reached no deal with the Raiders yet. Team representatives say they have secured the funding to replace Adelson's investment in case a deal isn't reached. NFL rules prohibit casino operators from having ownership roles in teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy Abboud, the executive working on the project for Adelson, called the filing \"one of those moments that makes it real\" and vowed that necessary negotiations will be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The people of Las Vegas should be excited that the NFL is coming to town,\" Abboud told AP. \"Business deals take time to work out, but everything will work out in the end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders have two one-year options to play at the Oakland Coliseum in 2017 and 2018 and are already taking season-ticket renewals for next season. But the Raiders have largely ignored a proposal by former player Ronnie Lott to build a new stadium in Oakland to keep the team permanently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are in this game and we are playing to win,\" Lott's group said in a statement, vowing to push ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Davis' father, Hall of Fame owner Al Davis, the Raiders moved from Oakland to Los Angeles in 1982, and then returned to the East Bay in 1995.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press Writer Ken Ritter in Las Vegas and AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in San Francisco contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Tourists will pay increased room taxes to fund $750 million of the cost of a new $1.9 billion stadium as part of a deal rammed through a special session of the Nevada Legislature by powerful casino owner Sheldon Adelson's family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stadium will be just off the glittering Las Vegas Strip, where the Golden Knights will begin play this fall in a new arena of their own. The expansion hockey team is the first major sports franchise to call the city home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Without the Golden Knights I don't know if the Raiders would have thought this was a viable market,\" Sisolak said. \"They kind of broke the glass ceiling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If approved, the move would be the third announced by an NFL team in a year as the league undergoes a geographic shift unlike any in recent history. The Rams returned to Los Angeles from St. Louis this season, while the San Diego Chargers will begin play in L.A. next season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(Raiders owner) Mark Davis is a man of his word, and the filing of the Raiders' application for relocation of the franchise with the NFL is a significant step in bringing the team to Las Vegas,\" Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL has long been opposed to any association with Las Vegas, to the point where just a few years ago it refused to allow the city to advertise on the Super Bowl telecast because it offered legal betting. But the league's opposition has softened, and so has the stance of Commissioner Roger Goodell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there are some real strengths to the Las Vegas market,\" Goodell said at an owners' meeting last month. \"It's clear the Las Vegas market has become a more diversified market, more broadly involved with entertainment, hosting big events. And there's a growth to the market.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Vegas, which has about 2.5 million people in the metropolitan area, would be a smaller market than the Bay Area. But fans from other cities are expected to fill a third of the proposed 65,000-seat stadium, and the team will also be able to draw on Raiders fans throughout California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Influential owners like Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots have spoken favorably about the prospects of a move, and Raiders owner Mark Davis has been lobbying behind the scenes to secure the votes of three-fourths of the 32 owners needed for relocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote is expected to take place during league meetings March 26-29 in Phoenix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis did not comment Thursday on the relocation application, but has made no secret of his commitment to Las Vegas. At a stadium meeting last year in the city he brought along a program from a 1964 American Football League exhibition game in the city, where the Raiders beat the Houston Oilers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis has said the team will continue to play in Oakland until the Las Vegas stadium is finished, likely by the 2020 season. There are two sites currently being looked at for the stadium, both adjacent to the Strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One possible hang-up could be Adelson's participation in the project. He's the one who initiated conversations with Davis last January, and was instrumental in getting a tax increase passed by the state legislature in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adelson's family has offered $650 million toward the stadium, but has reached no deal with the Raiders yet. Team representatives say they have secured the funding to replace Adelson's investment in case a deal isn't reached. NFL rules prohibit casino operators from having ownership roles in teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy Abboud, the executive working on the project for Adelson, called the filing \"one of those moments that makes it real\" and vowed that necessary negotiations will be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The people of Las Vegas should be excited that the NFL is coming to town,\" Abboud told AP. \"Business deals take time to work out, but everything will work out in the end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders have two one-year options to play at the Oakland Coliseum in 2017 and 2018 and are already taking season-ticket renewals for next season. But the Raiders have largely ignored a proposal by former player Ronnie Lott to build a new stadium in Oakland to keep the team permanently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are in this game and we are playing to win,\" Lott's group said in a statement, vowing to push ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Davis' father, Hall of Fame owner Al Davis, the Raiders moved from Oakland to Los Angeles in 1982, and then returned to the East Bay in 1995.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press Writer Ken Ritter in Las Vegas and AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in San Francisco contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And on Saturday afternoon, downtown positively thrummed with bodies and life. Football fans advertised their allegiance with head-to-toe merchandising and spilled out of BART stations headed to Super Bowl City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In front of the Metreon, buskers beat on drums and plastic buckets, while upstairs in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityviewmetreon.com/event-venue-questions/\">City View\u003c/a> event center, celebrities mingled with sports power brokers sipping cocktails and nibbling sushi and sliders. At the heart of this celebration of American culture: \u003ca href=\"http://www.steinbergsports.com/\">Leigh Steinberg\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no breakfast. I’ll have no lunch. I have no dinner. I have no life,” he said. It was his party, after all, and it didn’t look like he wanted it any other way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/18/magazine/show-leigh-steinberg-the-money-again-.html\" target=\"_blank\">a sports agent to top all sports agents\u003c/a>, Steinberg represented a roster full of superstars, like former 49ers quarterback Steve Young and champion boxer Oscar De La Hoya.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Steinberg's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/sports/ci_29485567/super-bowl-50-steinberg-bash-brings-star-athletes\">29th Super Bowl Party\u003c/a>, former players like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart and 49ers and Raiders defensive back Ronnie Lott chatted with Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio and Giants CEO Larry Baer. And former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder Chuck Liddell, sporting his trademark mohawk, hung out on the balcony near a table offering sliders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few years ago, the scene would have been nearly impossible. In 2012, the former boy wonder -- the model for Tom Cruise’s character in \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/01/11/leigh-steinberg-the-real-life-jerry-maguire/\">“Jerry Maguire”\u003c/a> --- filed for bankruptcy. After a 10-year battle with \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/espn/commentary/story/_/page/munson-120202/former-super-agent-leigh-steinberg-battle-back-bankruptcy-alcoholism\">alcoholism\u003c/a> and a messy divorce, his life was in a shambles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone loves a comeback, but to Steinberg the event on Saturday was also a return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, I’ve lived here half my life, so it’s a homecoming,” said Steinberg, a UC Berkeley and Boalt Hall grad. “It’s a unique opportunity to put together family friends. And I love the Bay Area -- it’s got a special magic to it and I think it’s hosting the Super Bowl beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the circle complete, the agent who has specialized in quarterbacks over his 40-year career has got a new client -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/paxton-lynch?id=2555316\">Paxton Lynch\u003c/a>, the University of Memphis signal caller who's now a top prospect in the NFL draft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paxton Lynch is 6-feet-7,” Steinberg said. “His hands are almost a foot long. He’s got an incredible ability to escape the pocket. So he’s in the new vogue of robo-quarterbacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was a chance for celebrities to schmooze and mingle, but for Steinberg it was also about highlighting causes he cares about, chief among them athletic concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a crisis of conscience back in the 1980s,” he said. “Because I’m representing half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and they keep getting hit in the head. And we were going to doctors and asking them, ‘How many are too many?’ and they had no answers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he started holding conferences to find out the answer to that question. In 1994, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sports/league-of-denial/the-frontline-interview-leigh-steinberg/\">white paper\u003c/a> was issued that recommended the NFL change its rules to disallow tackling with the head and neck and called for more research into preventing concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steinberg said the NFL was slow to respond. In 2007 he held another conference to highlight the science showing that three or more concussions result in \"an exponentially higher rate of Alzheimer's, ALS, premature senility, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg said the NFL needs to do more to prevent the “ticking time bomb” of concussions. Better helmets and keeping kids from playing too young are key, he said, but the real leap needs to come from recognizing the trauma caused by \u003ca href=\"http://www.traumaticbraininjury.net/sub-concussive-hits-are-causing-serious-brain-damage/\">sub-concussive\u003c/a> hits -- repeated blows to the head that don't cause concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Steinberg, causes are now the point. He can’t compete with his former self. So, he said he’s looking to just work with a few clients and help them become role models.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while that’s commendable, players might be coming to him to get a deal like the one he \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24138206/flashback-steve-youngs-43year-40million-usfl-contract\">struck\u003c/a> for Steve Young back in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the owner of the U.S. Football League's Los Angeles Express, Bill Oldenburg, was trying to sign players who could help make the fledgling league a viable competitor to the NFL. Young was a player who fit the bill, being highly sought by teams in both leagues after starring at Brigham Young University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg says the deal wasn’t going through quickly enough for Oldenburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He [Oldenburg] got so angry he went up to Steve and said, ‘I don’t know if you’re man enough for this team.’ And he had us escorted unceremoniously out of the building, and we sat on California Street at 3:30 in the morning. That was a deal that did not seem likely to come back together,” Steinberg said, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal that eventually came together was the largest contract in football history up to that time: \u003ca href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1825502-steve-young-will-make-1-million-in-2014-from-usfl-deal-signed-in-1984\">$40 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now time will tell what Steinberg’s second act will bring. But as the party swirled to a close, he gave his parting thought: “I think all of us in our lives can envision a world that we would like to have, and then realize it’s better to light candles than curse the darkness.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Football fans advertised their allegiance with head-to-toe merchandising and spilled out of BART stations headed to Super Bowl City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In front of the Metreon, buskers beat on drums and plastic buckets, while upstairs in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityviewmetreon.com/event-venue-questions/\">City View\u003c/a> event center, celebrities mingled with sports power brokers sipping cocktails and nibbling sushi and sliders. At the heart of this celebration of American culture: \u003ca href=\"http://www.steinbergsports.com/\">Leigh Steinberg\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no breakfast. I’ll have no lunch.

In 2012, the former boy wonder -- the model for Tom Cruise’s character in \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/01/11/leigh-steinberg-the-real-life-jerry-maguire/\">“Jerry Maguire”\u003c/a> --- filed for bankruptcy. After a 10-year battle with \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/espn/commentary/story/_/page/munson-120202/former-super-agent-leigh-steinberg-battle-back-bankruptcy-alcoholism\">alcoholism\u003c/a> and a messy divorce, his life was in a shambles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone loves a comeback, but to Steinberg the event on Saturday was also a return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, I’ve lived here half my life, so it’s a homecoming,” said Steinberg, a UC Berkeley and Boalt Hall grad. “It’s a unique opportunity to put together family friends. And I love the Bay Area -- it’s got a special magic to it and I think it’s hosting the Super Bowl beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the circle complete, the agent who has specialized in quarterbacks over his 40-year career has got a new client -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/paxton-lynch?id=2555316\">Paxton Lynch\u003c/a>, the University of Memphis signal caller who's now a top prospect in the NFL draft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paxton Lynch is 6-feet-7,” Steinberg said. “His hands are almost a foot long. He’s got an incredible ability to escape the pocket. So he’s in the new vogue of robo-quarterbacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was a chance for celebrities to schmooze and mingle, but for Steinberg it was also about highlighting causes he cares about, chief among them athletic concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a crisis of conscience back in the 1980s,” he said. “Because I’m representing half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and they keep getting hit in the head. And we were going to doctors and asking them, ‘How many are too many?’ and they had no answers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he started holding conferences to find out the answer to that question. In 1994, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sports/league-of-denial/the-frontline-interview-leigh-steinberg/\">white paper\u003c/a> was issued that recommended the NFL change its rules to disallow tackling with the head and neck and called for more research into preventing concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steinberg said the NFL was slow to respond. In 2007 he held another conference to highlight the science showing that three or more concussions result in \"an exponentially higher rate of Alzheimer's, ALS, premature senility, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg said the NFL needs to do more to prevent the “ticking time bomb” of concussions. Better helmets and keeping kids from playing too young are key, he said, but the real leap needs to come from recognizing the trauma caused by \u003ca href=\"http://www.traumaticbraininjury.net/sub-concussive-hits-are-causing-serious-brain-damage/\">sub-concussive\u003c/a> hits -- repeated blows to the head that don't cause concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Steinberg, causes are now the point. He can’t compete with his former self. So, he said he’s looking to just work with a few clients and help them become role models.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while that’s commendable, players might be coming to him to get a deal like the one he \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24138206/flashback-steve-youngs-43year-40million-usfl-contract\">struck\u003c/a> for Steve Young back in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the owner of the U.S. Football League's Los Angeles Express, Bill Oldenburg, was trying to sign players who could help make the fledgling league a viable competitor to the NFL. Young was a player who fit the bill, being highly sought by teams in both leagues after starring at Brigham Young University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg says the deal wasn’t going through quickly enough for Oldenburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He [Oldenburg] got so angry he went up to Steve and said, ‘I don’t know if you’re man enough for this team.’ And he had us escorted unceremoniously out of the building, and we sat on California Street at 3:30 in the morning. That was a deal that did not seem likely to come back together,” Steinberg said, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal that eventually came together was the largest contract in football history up to that time: \u003ca href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1825502-steve-young-will-make-1-million-in-2014-from-usfl-deal-signed-in-1984\">$40 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now time will tell what Steinberg’s second act will bring. But as the party swirled to a close, he gave his parting thought: “I think all of us in our lives can envision a world that we would like to have, and then realize it’s better to light candles than curse the darkness.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>News that the NFL's owners approved a plan to move the St. Louis Rams back to Los Angeles next season is causing excitement in California — and bitter dismay in St. Louis, where fans and officials alike say they feel betrayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late on Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/12/462848857/nfl-votes-to-move-rams-to-los-angeles-with-option-for-chargers-to-join-them\">the NFL endorsed Rams owner Stan Kroenke's proposal\u003c/a> to build a $1.86 billion stadium in Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles. It also gave the San Diego Chargers an option to share the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, St. Louis fans vented their sadness and anger, mixed with appreciation for the franchise that won a Super Bowl in 2000.

The rating is called Special Event Assessment Rating 1 (SEAR 1) and is mostly paid for by the federal government and staffed by federal, state and local law enforcement. The only event to get higher security preparations is the Presidential Inauguration, the NFL says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That will be clear to anyone with a ticket to the Super Bowl, says Jim Mercurio, general manager of the 49ers and Levi's Stadium. Law enforcement will be visible in a big way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As you arrive in the parking lot you'll see security.

So, even though he knows his Niners won't be in February's Super Bowl 50, he's going to the big game at Levi's Stadium. Nothing -- including the specter of recent terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino -- will deter him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a lifelong dream of mine ever since I was a little kid,\" says the 28-year-old San Jose native. \"I get to cross the street and come to the Super Bowl, so the terrorist attacks lately aren't something I'm concerned about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making sure those attending Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7 don't have anything to worry about has been the top priority for dozens of federal, state and local agencies in charge of security for the event. They've been working on plans and preparations since Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara won the bid for Super Bowl 2016 more than two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Few Super Bowl security details are being discussed by a coalition of agencies, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhs.gov/\"> Homeland Security,\u003c/a> the FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local law enforcement, headed by the Santa Clara Police Department. But it's a huge undertaking, made more complicated by the fact that pregame events aren't confined to one city and terrorist attacks have been grabbing headlines lately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The rating is called Special Event Assessment Rating 1 (SEAR 1) and is mostly paid for by the federal government and staffed by federal, state and local law enforcement. The only event to get higher security preparations is the Presidential Inauguration, the NFL says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That will be clear to anyone with a ticket to the Super Bowl, says Jim Mercurio, general manager of the 49ers and Levi's Stadium. Law enforcement will be visible in a big way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As you arrive in the parking lot you'll see security. As you walk to the entry gates of the facility you'll see them,\" says Mercurio. \"You'll see them on the concourses and you'll see them on the field.
