AT LEAST WE STILL GET WASHINGTON ST. EVERY OTHER YR. L.A. DAILY NEWS City Hall reporter Rick Orlov scoops the sportswriters in SoCal by noting today that NFL officials have finally(!) abandoned the prospect of renovating the L.A. Coliseum (at $1B) for a future NFL franchise.

Disgraced former Los Angeles police chief Bernard Parks, who now reps the Coliseum district as a City Councilman and has been using the NFL issue as an attention-grab, received a letter from the NFL three months ago confirming the league had no intention of moving into the decrepit, dilapidated dump.

NFL Senior VP/Strategic Planning Neil Glat wrote that “league owners think the ‘economic risks’ are too great to commit $1[B] to renovate the Coliseum.”

Ya think? And of course, none of that money would go to cleaning up the war zone that surrounds the building.

But brain-dead Bernie Parks isn’t giving up, saying of the NFL’s communique, “All this means is that it will be team-driven and not NFL-driven.”

No NFL team would ever move to a stadium in L.A. without the blessing of the league and other owners. But that doesn’t prevent Parks from continuing to grandstand.

And because of the fine citizens of Pasadena, rebuilding the Rose Bowl is also off the table. So what option is left? Begging AEG (which built Staples Center and is redeveloping downtown) to finance and construct a downtown stadium.

One small problem with that: AEG already proposed a facility five years ago, promising a private venture to erect such a ballpark. But Parks and other local, political parasites dumped diarrhea on the initiative, thus ensuring no pro football for Los Angeles in our lifetime.
