SAN DIEGO (AP) — At the last minute, a group of corporate sponsors stepped up to bail out the struggling San Diego Chargers and make sure that Thursday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs will be televised in Southern California. Depending on the outcome, they might regret guaranteeing to cover a whopping 10,000 tickets that remained unsold 72 hours before kickoff.
Already prime-time flops twice this year, the Chargers (3-4) will try to get it right against the staggering Chiefs (1-6), arguably the NFL’s worst team. Although the Chiefs have the same record as Jacksonville and Carolina, their issues run deeper than that. Playing under the lights might merely illuminate what’s wrong with these AFC West rivals, who play in the NFL’s weakest division.

Thousands of hunters are moving through the fields and woods of Iowa now with several hunting and trapping seasons underway. The coordinator of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources “Turn in Poachers” or TIP hotline, Steve Dermand, is asking hunters to help ensure all the activity is legal. Dermand says those who are not hunting can also help out by reporting activity or people who don’t seem right. “A landowner who comes across a big deer carcass lying in his field with the head removed, you know wondering about a buck that was probably poached there on his property. We encourage people who see things, who see other individuals who are doing things that are maybe contrary to the law,” Dermand says. You can call the TIP at 1-800-532-2020 and anonymously report what you saw.
He also encourages hunters and those who fish to be ready to warn the D-N-R of people they see breaking the law. “Have the cellphone number of your conservation officer programmed in your cellphone so that you can hit it quickly on a speeddial, and when you come across that (illegal activity) it’ll be something that you can report immediately,” Dermand says. “The one thing we’ve learned over time in this business as far as fish and wildlife poaching goes — the long you wait — the less likely we are to make a case.” He says it’s important to write down information like a description of the person involved, the license plate number and color and make of a vehicle, and the area where the crime happened. That way you won’t forget it later and the investigators won’t be left without key information.
“It just seems like evidence will disappear, or it gets cold and you are not able to find the things you need to find in order to make a case,” Dermand says. You may not think it’s a big deal if someone shoots an extra deer illegally, but he says helping stop poachers protects the rights of those who legally hunt and fish and even those who just like to enjoy nature. “The big deal about the fish and wildlife and deer included is that they are our Iowa natural resources, they are the things that are out there in the field that belong to all of us. Every citizen, every individual in this state,” Dermand explained. “And we should be proud of that. We should be proud of the resources that we have available to us, for viewing, for harvest by legal means, and just enjoyment.”
The TIP number is a 24 automated system. You can also report poaching online at: www.iowadnr.gov/tip, and it will send a report directly to the local officer. In cases where officers investigate and write a ticket, the individual who reported the violations can be eligible for a reward.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s offense has been dreadful all season — and now the Hawkeyes are slipping on defense. Iowa (4-4, 2-2 Big Ten) has allowed 66 points in the past two weeks in losing decisively to Penn State and Northwestern. Though the Hawkeyes only need to split their last four games, it certainly feels as though the combination of a poor offense and a leaky defense has left them in serious trouble. Iowa travels this week to face Indiana (3-5, 1-3). Coach Kirk Ferentz says the defense needs to trust each other more and play better as a team.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa running back Mark Weisman will likely miss Saturday’s game at Indiana with a leg injury. Weisman, the leading rusher for Iowa (4-4, 2-2 Big Ten) with 661 yards, hurt his leg during last week’s 28-17 loss at Northwestern. Weisman rushed for over 100 yards in four straight games this season, but he has been hobbled since spraining his ankle in a 19-16 win at Michigan State on Oct. 13. Last week, Weisman had just 21 yards on nine carries. Damon Bullock, who opened the season as the starting running back, had 107 yards rushing in the loss to the Wildcats. Bullock is listed as the starting running back against the Hoosiers (3-5, 1-3).
AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State isn’t necessarily rebuilding and it isn’t really reloading. The Cyclones are seeking to reinvent themselves in 2012-13 by reverting back to a more traditional lineup. Iowa State lost standout Royce White, who is now with the Houston Rockets. The Cyclones also lost their second and third-leading scorers in Scott Christopherson and Chris Allen, a pair of shooting guards who were also forced to handle the ball so they could play together.
Iowa State will replace their unconventional trio with a true point guard in Korie Lucious, a traditional wing forward in Will Clyburn and more depth than the program has had in years. The Cyclones, who won 23 games and reached the third round of the NCAA tournament in 2011-12, open the season Nov. 9 against Southern.
Jim Field and Chris Parks have the call of the second round Class A playoff game played in Woodward.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel will start Thursday night’s game at San Diego after Brady Quinn took a blow to the head in last weekend’s loss to Oakland. Coach Romeo Crennel said Tuesday that doctors have not cleared Quinn to practice, so Cassel will be the starter and Ricky Stanzi the backup. Cassel was the starter the first five games of the season before he sustained his own concussion against the Ravens.
Quinn started one game in Cassel’s place, and then Crennel made the switch permanent going into last Sunday’s game against the Raiders. Quinn was hurt late in the first quarter, and Cassel played the rest of the way in a 26-16 loss. The Chiefs (1-6) have lost four straight games.
