Report: Many owners 'very upset' with Chargers' move to L.A.

Roger Goodell may have backed the move publicly, but what else was he supposed to do?

As the dust settles on the Chargers' official announcement of a move from San Diego to Los Angeles, it appears as though the NFL is actually quite irked about the development.

The league has been "beside itself" since Chargers owner Dean Spanos officially announced his club's relocation last week, and "there are a ton of owners very upset" with the move, a pair of sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

League officials would never admit to such feelings on the matter, as it's undoubtedly now in the best interest of all to ensure that both the Rams and Chargers can both succeed in the nation's second-largest media market.

As unlikely as it may be, Schefter explains in his Championship Round notebook that there are even some prominent executives still holding out hope the Chargers end up in San Diego long-term.

But some NFL owners and some league officials are still hoping that, now that the move has been made official, Chargers chairman Dean Spanos will wake up one morning soon, recognize this situation has been "bungled so bad" and take his team back to San Diego, where it spent the past 56 years. Again, the chances are at best remote that this happens.

But there are owners and league officials still praying that the longest of long shots comes in and the Chargers bolt back to San Diego.

Whether Spanos would truly ever consider calling off the move remains to be seen, but perhaps nothing can be ruled out, given the back-and-forth nature of the several relocation sagas that continue to dominate league headlines.

The Chargers are scheduled to play the next few seasons at the 30,000-seat StubHub Center, home of the LA Galaxy, before joining the Rams in the $2.6-billion stadium in Inglewood.
