Chargers owner’s plane in Florida, but not to pick up Joey Bosa

FAA Offers Inside Look At Air Traffic Systems And Management At Denver International Airport

DENVER, CO - JULY 14: A radar screen tracks incoming and outgoing flights for air traffic controllers at the Terminal Radar Approach Control center on July 14, 2011 at the Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is marking 75 years of federal air traffic control in the United States today. Beginning with just 15 employees in 1936, the FAA now has some 15,000 air traffic controllers and technicians working nationwide. In 2010, the Denver International Airport was the 4th busiest airport in the world, with some 650,000 flights per year and 52 million passengers passing through the airport.

In the absence of news about Joey Bosa’s contract negotiations, Chargers fans are scrambling for anything to cling to.

But the latest shiny object should not be confused with a glimmer of hope.

According to Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Chargers fans were stirred up by reports that the Spanos family’s private plane was in Fort Lauderdale, which happens to be Bosa’s hometown.

But there’s no indication the negotiations have moved, and a team official said the plane was in Florida on unrelated business.

Thus, the last remaining unsigned rookie has effectively turned Chargers fans into a bunch of reporters chasing college coaching searches, tracking tail numbers in search of clues.
