Ellis, who was drafted a year ago in the third round by the Jets, is charged with attacking a fellow student while at Hampton University. Ellis reportedly faces deportation if convicted of a felony because he’s not a U.S. citizen.

Davis declined to go into specifics. However, he made it abundantly clear that Los Angeles remains a viable option as long as the Raiders don’t have a better option than the Oakland Coliseum in its current state. “Los Angeles is a possibility,” Davis said. “Wherever’s a possibility. We need a stadium.” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell splahsed a tub of cold water on the Raiders, or any other NFL team, moving to Los Angeles by saying, “We want to keep our teams where they are.” Further, Goodell said if the NFL returns to Los Angeles at some point, it likely would be with one or two expansion teams.

Barring a major setback – such as construction delays, or a legal ruling against changes from the deal Santa Clara voters approved in June 2010 – the 49ers will be heading 40 miles south by the 2015 season. In terms of government assistance, the 49ers are getting a deal they could not have dreamed of attaining in San Francisco. Santa Clara’s City Council has agreed to provide an $850 million loan for the stadium. A group of Santa Clara stadium opponents has demanded a referendum on this change in scope of the city commitment, but the council has refused, and its attorneys maintain that it is consistent with the intent of the voter-approved Measure J.

U.S. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater sentenced Vollers in federal court in Dallas on Friday, almost two years after pleading guilty to conspiracy to sell more than 100 kilograms of marijuana. He could have received a 40-year prison term. The 31-year-old played for Dallas from 2002-04 and appeared in two games for Indianapolis in 2005. Prosecutors say Vollers helped three other men in delivering marijuana to the Dallas area from January 2006 through May 2008.

At his annual Super Bowl news conference, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said talks continue in a bid to resolve the impasse over adding HGH to the NFL’s testing program—six months after the labor deal ending the lockout included a provision to allow checking for that performance-enhancing drug once players approved the process. Originally, the league hoped it could start testing for HGH as soon as Week 1 of this season. Now there’s no certainty it’ll happen by the beginning of next season. “No one will bully us into a test,” Smith said Thursday. “No one will force the players to accept something that’s unfair. How could we?” The union has raised questions about the detection methods and appeals process. “We are going to continue to fight and ensure that due process is something that is not thrown away at the expense of just having the test,” said Smith, who is up for re-election in March.
