ROOMIES: The idea of the Chargers sharing Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s Inglewood stadium once seemed far fetched. Now, it’s one possible brokered solution to satisfying two of the three teams eyeing the L.A. market.
ST. LOUIS STADIUM: St. Louis city aldermen are threatening to block the city’s financial commitment to the proposed stadium project there until the mayor presents a plan to deal with more pressing problems, namely the city’s skyrocketing crime rates. That project did land a naming rights sponsor, but it’s far from a done deal.

PUNCHES: The Bills accused Odell Beckham of throwing punches during last week’s game.
THE BAT: Even the Seahawks were surprised by that illegal batting rule.
