TAGLIABUE SETS DEADLINE TO KEEP SUPER BOWL IN SAN DIEGO

          NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said that San Diego has
     until the last week of February to settle its stadium
     controversy or the '98 Super Bowl will be moved, probably to
     Pasadena, according to Barry Bloom in the SAN DIEGO UNION-
     TRIBUNE.  Tagliabue said that if the $78M expansion of Jack
     Murphy Stadium is halted, the league will have "no choice
     but to move the game."  L.A. Mayor Richard Riordan sent a
     letter to Tagliabue offering the L.A. Coliseum, but Bloom
     calls that option "not a likely venue for the game" (SAN
     DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 2/1).  The UNION-TRIBUNE's Gerry Braun
     examines the effects of the city's sports situation on San
     Diego Mayor Susan Golding's desire to run for the U.S.
     Senate.  Braun: "The downside is steep indeed"  (SAN DIEGO
     UNION-TRIBUNE, 2/2). Columnist Tom Cushman, noting a bumper
     sticker seen in the city: "Go Chargers, and Take the Padres
     With You" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 2/2).
