![]() When Rose Bowl GM Darryl Dunn was asked who will pay for this new NFL playpen, Dunn said, “Not us.” The ridiculous and not-very-well-thought-out plan calls for an NFL team in another city to pay for the renovation of the Rose Bowl and then pay rent to use the stadium so the Rose Bowl doesn’t go out of business. IT’S ONLY February, but I believe we already have the Bogus Story of the Year for 2002-with news the Pasadena City Council has unanimously approved a three-year plan to lure an NFL team to play in the Rose Bowl. ![]() Then it was Kobe versus Michael one-on-one, everyone in the place coming to their feet, and Kobe drilled a bomb to finish with Jordan’s number-23, and I was having so much fun I forgot to wave goodbye to Salma.
