Talk » until after the season to announce a decision on the t

Australias captain Steven Smith has not given up hope of a redemptive fourth-innings chase at the WACA, particularly as South Africa have been shorn of Dale Steyns speed by a shoulder injury.The hosts were sustained by thoughts of putting pressure back onto South Africas bowlers, even as JP Duminy and Dean Elgar made Smiths side pay for their latest shuddering batting collapse on the second day. Smith conceded that his bowlers had been placed under undue pressure by the fact the batsmen didnt do the job, but looked to day four for better tidings.We let ourselves down yesterday, to only get two runs in front of their score wasnt good enough, Smith said. After the start we got with Davey (David Warner) and Shaun (Marsh) we got a great opportunity to post a big first innings score and we werent good enough. Credit to the South Africa bowlers at the same time, they came out yesterday morning and bowled really well, but the batters didnt do the job.[No Steyn] is certainly going to help us, hes a quality bowler, and this isnt the traditional sort of WACA wicket. Its been pretty slow, the balls got soft very quickly. Weve got to get the wickets in the morning, then if we an keep them out there, tie their two fast bowlers down and be a little more positive against the spin, theres no reason why we cant chase down a total on that. So far the balls that have misbehaved have been quite wide, so its still a pretty good wicket.Smith, speaking at the end of a difficult day that has piled further pressure on his team after their failures in Sri Lanka, spoke also about his first innings dismissal, an LBW well down the wicket to Keshav Maharaj that resulted in a stunned response from the captain - something the ICC match referee Andy Pycroft may yet pursue further.I was a bit disappointed at the time, Smith. When you come down the wicket like that you kind of think youre going to be okay, but Aleem (Dar) made the decision and it was backed up by the Hawk-Eye. Not much I can do about it, just going to have to use my bat in future.There had also been suggestions that the umpires had spoken to South Africas captain Faf du Plessis about the way the ball was being looked after on day two, and Smith said reverse swing had played an unusually large role in this match so far. That was his primary reason for ignoring Nathan Lyon until after lunch on day three.It started to go pretty quick and the umpires handled it or whatever was going on out there, Smith said of day two. I think [reverse swing] has been a pretty big player during this game for both sides, very uncharacteristic of the WACA.But when the balls reversing its a tough one, you want to bowl spin but the way he holds the ball can soften that side and stop the ball reversing. Youve got to use the quicks as long as you can and make the most of the ball while its going.Adam Voges appeared to suffer a hamstring strain midway through the days play, but Smith said he moved far more freely in the middle after going off the field briefly for strapping. Im sure the medical staff will be all over him, Smith said, and be able to get him okay. Air Force 1 Scontate . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Chargers were paid just more than $1 million by the city to play at Qualcomm Stadium in 2015 thanks to various credits, meaning theyve made $4.6 million off their lease since 2007.Without the various credits, the Chargers, who are threatening to move to Los Angeles, would have had to pay $28.7 million in rent in that span.Figures for the 2015 season, when the Chargers finished 4-12, were provided to The Associated Press by the citys Financial Management Department.The teams $3 million rent for 2015 was more than offset by $1,364,350 in its cut of concessions, $1,244,231 in miscellaneous credits and $1,416,753 in credits stemming from a settlement between the city and plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the citys expansion of Qualcomm Stadium in the late 1990s.In February 2001, the city settled a lawsuit by a disability activist by agreeing to make $5.3 million in modifications, including removing 985 seats. While the Chargers werent involved in that suit, they requested to be compensated for seats lost or obstructed because of the ADA changes. The city also compensates the Chargers for lost concession and merchandize revenue for those seats.The last time the city made money from the Chargers was 2006, when the team paid net rent of $20,369. Income from a home playoff game was just enough to offset the rent credits and ADA money.Last season was the first time the Chargers were paid more than $1 million by the city.Before the teams lease was renegotiated in 2004, the Chargers had received more than $36 million in rent credits from a controversial ticket guarantee approved as part of the deal that expanded the stadium in 1997.The Chargers have until Jan. 15 to exercise an option to move to Los Angeles and join the Rams in a stadium scheduled to open in Inglewood in 2019. If they move, the Chargers would have to find a temporary home for the next two seasoons, either the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum or the 27,000-seat StubHub! Center in Carson.dddddddddddd. Its not known how much in rent theyd have to pay at those stadiums.On Nov. 8, voters overwhelmingly rejected Measure C, the Chargers-written initiative that sought $1.15 billion from increased hotel taxes to help pay for a $1.8 billion downtown stadium and convention center annex. After the vote, team chairman Dean Spanos said that hed wait until after the season to announce a decision on the teams future.On Tuesday, four city councilmembers sent Spanos, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the other 31 NFL owners a letter offering a 99-year lease at $1 a year for the entire 166-acre Qualcomm site in an attempt to restart talks between the team and the city to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium.In 2015, the city and county offered Spanos $350 million toward a new stadium at the Qualcomm site. The team walked away from negotiations and focused on trying to get approval for a stadium in Carson that it would share with the rival Oakland Raiders. Owners rejected that plan in January while approving the Rams plans for Inglewood, but gave Spanos the option to move to L.A. They also gave Spanos an additional $100 million to add to $200 million available from the league in a loan to try to get a stadium built in San Diego.After that rejection, Spanos asked Mayor Kevin Faulconer to add $200 million to the city-county offer. When Faulconer declined, the Chargers began crafting Measure C, without input from other stakeholders, including the citys powerful tourism industry. The tourism industry opposed the measure.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
