NBA-76ERS

Sixers add Brand

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former overall No. 1 NBA draft pick Elton Brand is back in the game after inking a pact with the 76ers.

NFL-LOS ANGELES

Rams, Chargers, Raiders apply for relocation to LA

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Rams have filed an application to relocate to the Los Angeles area after 21 seasons in the Midwest. The San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders also filed in an effort to move closer to L.A.

Owner Stan Kroenke is part of a group planning a $1.8 billion stadium in Inglewood, Calif., and the team said on its web site that it sought to relocate to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, where the team played from 1946-94.

The Chargers and Raiders have teamed on a joint venture for a stadium in Carson, Calif.

The Rams, Chargers, and Raiders have all called the Los Angeles Coliseum their home at some point in their history.

NFL-COACHES

Who's next?

UNDATED (AP) — You can add the New York Giants to the list of NFL teams in the market for a head coach. Meanwhile, San Diego and Indianapolis are keeping their head coaches.

Tom Coughlin has resigned after 12 seasons and two Super Bowl victories with the New York Giants, saying it was in the best interest of both sides that he step down. The 69-year-old Coughlin was 110-93 with three division titles with the Giants after going 72-64 in eight seasons as Jacksonville's original head coach. The decision comes after the Giants completed a 6-10 season and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

Coughlin's announcement came a day after the Browns fired head coach Mike Pettine and the 49ers dismissed Jim Tomsula.

Mike McCoy will return as head coach of the Chargers despite a 4-12 record this season, their worst since 2003. McCoy is 23-27 in three seasons with San Diego, including a playoff win and loss in his first season, 2013. He has one year left on his contract. The team also announced that offensive coordinator Frank Reich (ryk) has been dismissed.

And Colts owner Jim Irsay has announced that he's given coach Chuck Pagano a four-year contract extension, ending speculation that he would be fired this week. Pagano guided the Colts to 11-5 records in each of his first three seasons and reached the 2014 AFC title game. But several injuries led to an 8-8 record this season, one game behind the AFC South-champion Houston Texans.

NFL-DOLPHINS-GM

Dolphins promote Grier to GM

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Chris Grier has been promoted to general manager of the Miami Dolphins, replacing the recently-terminated Dennis Hickey.

Grier has spent 16 years in the organization, the last nine as director of college scouting. One of his first tasks as GM will be to hire a head coach. Interim coach Dan Campbell is a favorite among most players, but the Dolphins also interviewed former Atlanta coach Mike Smith for the job on Monday. Super Bowl winner Mike Shanahan will get an interview Tuesday, and Chicago offensive coordinator Adam Gase (gays) is expected to be a top candidate.
