Chargers on the block? The sister of Chargers controlling owner Dean Spanos has filed a petition in LA Court arguing that mounting debt has imperiled the family’s finances and the only solution is to put the team up for sale. Filing suggests Jeff Bezos could be interested. Twitter was abuzz with all the Chargers hoopla.

Via Pro Football Talk:

“Dean refuses to consider a sale of the Trust’s Interest of the Chargers, insisting that the Co-Trustees continue to borrow more and more, and to force the charities and beneficiaries to wait for years and to ‘hope’ while Dean speculates further on a football team,” Berberian’s court filing said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “Dean has failed to present any plan to address the Trust’s bleak financial picture, because there is no other plan than the one urged by [Berberian]. Dean simply refuses to discuss it. . . . His plan is hope.”

Dean Spanos' sister, who is one of the Chargers' co-owners, is going to court in an effort to force the sale of the team. https://t.co/av6aupv4l5

Jeff Bezos has been named as a candidate to purchase the #Chargers if they go up for sale. It would be the best moment in franchise history. https://t.co/CxcgnwjHjN

Lol the Chargers are not going back to San Diego. Even IF Dean has to sell, why on earth would the new owner leave the LA market and a brand new stadium?

Spanos siblings statement regarding their sister trying to force them to sell: "Our sister seems to have a different & misguided personal agenda. If Dea no longer wishes to be part of the family legacy, the three of us stand ready to purchase her share of the franchise."

Jeff Bezos as an NFL owner just seems inevitable. Let’s just give him his team already.

Bezos > Spanos.
