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. Nike Air Max 98 Supreme Snakeskin .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 seasons, either the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum or the 27,000-seat StubHub! Center in Carson. 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 ;Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 Snakeskin .

MINNEAPOLIS -- Adrian Peterson was hoping his faster-than-expected return would help catapult the Minnesota Vikings into the playoffs.Instead, the Vikings fell flat in a 34-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, a curiously uninspired performance that all but eliminated them from postseason contention. Peterson, who had not played since September because of a torn meniscus in his right knee, had just 22 yards on six carries, including a crucial fumble in the first half on a rare trip into Colts territory.Before he came back, Peterson said he would not play the remainder of the season if the Vikings were out of contention. He didnt want to risk any further injury with an uncertain future. But after the Colts loss, Peterson said he planned to play Saturday in Green Bay.Definitely not what I envisioned coming into this game, Peterson said. Its unfortunate that it ended the way it did.The U.S. Bank Stadium crowd gave him a rousing ovation when he was introduced before the game, but he had runs of 2, 1, 0, 2 and 4 yards behind an offensive line that has struggled to open holes in the running game all season long. He popped one solid run -- a 13-yarder -- but had the ball stripped out by Mike Adams to stunt one of the few drives the offense had going in the first half. The Vikings managed just two first downs in the first two quarters and trailed 27-0 at the break.There were some runs he probably needed to do a little bit better, and there were some times where there wasnt much there, coach Mike Zimmer said Monday. He only had 12 plays.With the Vikings facing such a big deficit, they had to shift to a pass-heavy offense in the second half. Air Max 98 Buy Online. Peterson watched nearly the entire half from the sideline while Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata -- backups more proficient in receiving and pass blocking than Peterson -- shared the workload.It was tough. You look at the scoreboard and youre down by a couple touchdowns. The running game is irrelevant at that point, Peterson said. Of course I dont like being on the sideline, but I have faith in Matt and Jerick. Those guys do a great job.The Vikings (7-7) have two more games left, at Green Bay on Christmas Eve and home against Chicago in the season finale. While he was rehabbing his injury, Peterson gave thought to not playing at all for the rest of the year. He will enter an intriguing offseason, when the 31-year-old is due to make $18 million in the final season of his contract in 2017. Most believe he will have to take a significant pay cut to stay in Minnesota, but it remains unclear if the Vikings will want to bring him back.Should Peterson get injured again, or even if he has two more low-production games, his stock could take a hit.While Peterson did commit to the Packers game on Saturday, he said it was too soon to think about the finale.Im not going to jump ahead two weeks, Peterson said. Just look forward to this week.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL. ;Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
