But Grubman and several owners have indi- cated no timetable is set in stone and that a vote on re- location could come in Feb- ruary or March or beyond. A vote by March would be almost a necessity for Los Angeles to have a fran- chise or two playing there in 2016. No relocation fees were discussed Wednesday; that could come at the Dallas meeting before the full ownership. "A league meeting is a different dynamic than having 15 owners in a room with the mayor ..." Grubman said, adding that among team owners there has been "a common dis- cussion of, 'this is a really tough judgment to make.'" Grubman projected that the Dallas meeting will in- clude plenty of dialogue among the owners about the merits of each cities' proposals to keep their teams, as well as the posi- tives and negatives of each LA stadium plan. He added that there are a myriad of issues within the plans of Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego that still must be dealt with. Mayor Kevin Faulconer represented San Diego. "Most importantly the owners got to hear the strong commitment politi- cally and in the community to get this done in San Di- ego," Faulconer said about getting the Chargers a new facility and keeping them in San Diego. Faulconer said he felt the discussions were "robust." "Everyone in that room was fully engaged," Faul- coner said. "We talked a lot about the momentum we have in San Diego." While representatives from the three cities out- line plans for potential new stadiums — St. Louis already has a state-backed project costing about $1 billion — the league seri- ously contemplates a re- turn to Los Angeles for the first time in more than two decades. Coinciden- tally, the Rams and Raid- ers were the teams that left the LA area after the 1994 season. The Raiders-Chargers proposal added some fire- power Wednesday by an- nouncing that Disney CEO Bob Iger has agreed to lead the effort to build the sta- dium should NFL owners approve the teams' move. Iger is set to serve under a five-year contract as non- executive chairman of Car- son Holdings LLC, the joint venture to build a stadium on a 168-acre site. "That says very strongly that an NFL return to the Los Angeles market is ex- traordinarily attractive," Grubman said. Meetings FROM PAGE 1 much more we feel like we could do," Carr said. "The stats and all that are fun for people to look at. But for us, we turn the film on and are like, 'Man, we missed that opportunity or that play or that chance.' That's what hurts us." There could be fewer op- portunities for big plays if Murray or Hudson is side- lined Sunday. Murray left last week's loss in Pittsburgh in the third quarter with a con- cussion and was only a spectator at practice on Wednesday. He must clear the league's concussion protocols before being al- lowed to play. This is the second con- cussion in as many seasons for Murray, who also was knocked out of a game last November against Kansas City. Murray missed one game after that hit. Fullback Marcel Reece and backup tailback Tai- wan Jones would likely share most of the running load if Murray can't play. Hudson's absence could be more problematic. He left last week's game in the fourth quarter with a sprained right ankle. Hud- son had a walking boot on his injured foot and did not practice Wednesday. Tony Bergstrom took his place with the starters af- ter getting his first offen- sive snaps since 2012 at the end of the loss to the Steel- ers. Bergstrom missed the entire 2013 season with an injured foot and was a healthy inactive for all 16 games last season. Berg- strom has played exclu- sively on special teams this season until Hudson got hurt. Starting left guard Gabe Jackson, who got work on snaps in practice, is confi- dent the line can weather the loss of Hudson if he is unable to play Sunday. "We just keep doing what we've been doing and that's working hard," Jack- son said. "Tony will be fine. He knows exactly what he needs to do and the calls to make." Hudson has anchored one of the league's best lines. With Hudson han- dling the protection calls, Carr has been sacked just eight times all season. Hudson has allowed just four quarterback pressures on 524 blocking snaps com- pared to two in just 16 for Bergstrom, according to Pro Football Focus. Carr said his close work with Hudson throughout the year will help if Hudson does not recover in time for Sunday. "We solve problems to- gether, we do things to- gether, we sit by each other in the meetings and talk through things," Carr said. "If he wasn't able to go for some reason, there'd be no problem." Notes: • S Charles Woodson missed Wednesday prac- tice as usual as he deals with shoulder and knee injuries. • LB Neiron Ball (knee) also remains sidelined. Raiders FROM PAGE 1 2012 and 2013 and kept them out of the conference championship game and the chance for that coveted shot at the Rose Bowl. "The last four years the winner of this game has won the Pac-12 champion- ship so it's everything. For us our ultimate goal ev- ery year is to win the Pac- 12 and we have a chance this Saturday so it's huge," Stanford linebacker Kevin Anderson said. Adams said it's hard not to think about the possibil- ity of a conference champi- onship berth. Oregon went to the national champion- ship game last season. "We don't want to be just completely thinking about the Pac-12 North, but it's in our minds, definitely," Ad- ams said. "Hopefully, we just get this win and things happen. We've got to win one game at a time and go from there." Washington State (6-3, 4-2) is out of contention for the North title because of how the tie-breaker rules play out, but the good news for the Cougars is that they are already bowl eli- gible. It looks as if coach Mike Leach is finally turn- ing the program around in Pullman. Also out of the picture are Oregon State, Wash- ington and Cal, which will have to upset Stanford for the Ducks to get in. The Pac-12 South is a bit murkier. Utah (8-1, 5-1) is a game up on the Southern Califor- nia schools and basically controls its own destiny. If the Utes win out they win the South. The Utes play Arizona (5-5, 2-5) in Tucson this weekend before return- ing home to face UCLA in a game that will go a long way in determining how the division will shake out. Utah wraps up the season with South bottom-dweller Colorado (4-6, 1-5). "We still stick to a game- by-game approach, but we see the big picture," Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said. "We understand what we want to accomplish and that's to try to get to the Pac-12 championship game, which requires win- ning the south. That's not something that we ignore, but our focus on a week-to- week basis is completely on the next opponent." A combination of losses by the Bruins (7-2, 4-2) and USC (6-3, 4-2) could also get the Utes into the Pac- 12 championship game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on Dec. 5. Utah was just one win away from clinching the South division in 2011, the team's first in the league. If the Bruins can defeat upstart Washington State at home on Saturday, it will set up a pivotal game against Utah at Rice-Eccles Stadium, before the finale at USC. The Trojans, who visit Colorado on Friday, are also still alive, but they'll have to take care of their own busi- ness, including a winning trip to Oregon, while root- ing for a Utes loss. Pac-12 FROM PAGE 1 and Memphis got within 55-53. But Curry, who con- nected on a 62-footer at the end of the third quarter in the deciding Game 6 of the conference semifinals between the teams last season, made a 40-footer as the horn sounded at the end of the third quar- ter Wednesday night. That gave the Warriors a 74-63 lead. Memphis stayed within single digits in the early stages of the fourth, but consecutive 3-pointers from Klay Thompson and Draymond Green stretched the Golden State lead back to 86-71 with 6:29 left. That was the last gasp for Memphis, which lost for the sixth time in the last seven regular-sea- son games against Golden State. Tip-Ins Warriors: Golden State matched the 9-0 start by the 1960-61 Philadel- phia Warriors. ... Andrew Bogut, who returned Mon- day night after missing six games with a concussion, played 15 minutes and fin- ished with three points and seven rebounds. ... The Warriors committed a sea- son-high 23 turnovers. Grizzlies: Mario Chalm- ers and James Ennis, ac- quired in a trade with the Miami Heat on Tuesday, were not available. That, coupled with three injured players, including forward Brandan Wright, left the Grizzlies with only 10 play- ers dressed out. ... Allen's 15 points marked the first time he reached double fig- ures this season.
