Combining a few queries into one question, I’ll answer it here:
If Dean Spanos wanted to bring his NFL team back to San Diego, how would San Diego’s leaders respond?
Answer: Gosh, I wouldn’t be optimistic. Not even if I put on blue-and-gold glasses.
Set aside that Spanos is probably more disliked in San Diego than he was 10 months ago.
I doubt Mayor Kevin Faulconer would be of much help, even if he wanted to be.
To his credit, Faulconer had the political chops to cruise to re-election in June 2016.
