Las Vegas Raiders

[Lakers+USC=#1]

I understand that...but Oakland has had a few proposals & offers for a state of the art top notch modern stadium on the table. It seems the raider ownership wanted the city/county to pay for most of the bill....which is BS. He's trying to extort Oakland...and believes they'll fall for the bait by having the Sheldon Adelson and his dirty money bags behind him. I say fuck Mark Davis..if he wants to leave the bay area...good riddance. He & that team don't deserve or need a new stadium in Vegas.

* BTW: Isn't the NFL on the record as being against any franchise moving to sin city, or placing an expansion team there?

The NFL has soften their position on moving a team to Vegas. That's what Goodell said.

The whole Idea about not having a team in Vegas, is outdated anyway.

Jerry Jonea supports Raiders to Vegas, I believe the Rams owner does, and now Kraft does. Three power owners in support means odds of it happening isn't all that bad, unless they are all in cahoots using Vegas as a pawn against Oakland.

Raiders-to-Vegas idea has support of Pats' Kraft

As long as the casino mob is going to be in the NFL, why not the Raiders?????

I can't say for sure... But yes, If Jones and Kraft are behind the move, it's likely Kroenke is behind it as well...

If they move, should they leave the Raiders name in Oakland?

Nope, Las Vegas Raiders is the perfect name. They could go with Snake Eyes, or Ratlers but I'd try to keep it Raiders.

Las Vegas having a NFL team would make sense.

It would F up the whole vibe of that town in the fall. NFL gambling bets is what everyone roots for there. Along with their hometown teams.

It will be interesting to see how many new fans they pick up? Vegas being a melting pot of people from both the US and from foriegn countries. Will those Americans who lived elsewhere prior and were somewhat fans of their old teams now convert?

I'm excited for Vegas.

I don't think it'd F the vibe up. I used to live in Sin City & think an NFL team would be great for the place.

Right on. The only losers in this are the fans who live in and around Oakland that won't be able to go to as many games.
Sunday's are great in Sin City. Wake up to a sleepy town. Go get some breakfast. Find a place to watch games. Place some bets. Interact with all kinds of other fans... Nowhere else has the same vibe.

I wasn't a gambler when I lived out there but I loved watching the NFL action @ the local sports book.

I think the Las Vegas Flush is more fitting considering that's what happens to their season every year.

And the Cards have been the Gold Standard at success.

I'm sorry. I thought this was a Raider thread. Did I misread something?

Why would they leave the Raiders name in Oakland?

Not only that, Al Davis would come from the dead, AGAIN, and kill his son for taking the Davis family and name from the Raiders name.

Only that your comment coming from a Cards fan is very funny.

You are easily amused.

My comment still holds true.
