The Facts: If even a sliver of doubt that the San Diego Chargers would not apply for relocation to Los Angeles lived, it has been dashed. Mark Fabiani, point man for the Chargers' LA efforts, told The Mighty 1090 AM in San Diego that the team will indeed file the paperwork to request relocation, the next step in a potential move.

Diehards Line: Part of Fabiani's reasoning was that the St. Louis Rams and Oakland Raiders both also appear intent on moving to Los Angeles and the Chargers want to keep their stake in Southern California safe. Fabiani noted that there remains a chance the Chargers stay in San Diego, which would take a big push by the public. "I think going forward if there's a solution here in San Diego, it's going to have to come from the citizens' initiative process," Fabiani said. "It's pretty clear at this point the city's leadership doesn't really listen to anything the Chargers have to say." The NFL announced last week it would host public hearings in all three cities as part of the relocation process. The hearing in San Diego will take place on Oct. 28.
