Getting approval on the $375 million was doable with the Chargers, who were here for 56 years. I'm not sure it would get approval for a team most San Diegans have hated their entire lives. Again, I'm excited about the new plan for the MLS franchise that would set aside land for a potential NFL stadium. If this could work around that plan, then I'd be for it. But putting that plan at risk to pursue the Raiders? No thanks.

One of the biggest rules in Vegas is "Don't screw over Sheldon Adelson!!!" That's exactly what Davis attempted to do by cutting him out about a week ago. Apparently Davis proposed a lease agreement to the Las Vegas Stadium Authority where Adelson was completely excluded. On top of that, Adelson wasn't even told that Davis was considering such a deal... Adelson is friends with the bigwigs at Goldman, so when he found out about this deal, he called his guys at Goldman and told them he was pulling out. I'm sure advised them to do the same and without Adelson's blessing, no way they go ahead with this deal...

Is Davis going to give up shares with the Raiders? If he does he could easily come up with money but everything I read seems he wants a massive loan but essentially giving nothing to the investors or the city except saying you got a NFL team.

So how many cities does that make that the Raiders/Davis have fucked? A couple in LA, San Antonio, Vegas, and Oakland probably about 17, 18 times.

Surprisingly, OAK keeps coming back for more.

In the case of Vegas, I think he just fucked himself.

He only owns 35% of the team. He's by far the poorest owner in the NFL.

Davis is out of his league with Adelson. Davis just preserved himself...

I need a fucking drink. Just when "Bowl Hair" Davis got on my good side, the last couple of years, he does this bullshit. Do the Davis family just love fucking people over? Why did I ask that stupid as question, of course they do! See, this is why the gay ass, punk ass Chargers should've stayed their asses in San Diego, and my Raiders would've came here in LA. This is bullshit! I don't give a damn if Davis have to suck their dick, he better get those billionaires back on the play.

He sure did...As I posted earlier in this thread, it's a VERY bad idea to mess with Shelly Adelson and expect to come out unscathed...

Or work for him... he put a lot of subcontractors out of business when he built the Paris & Venetian casinos. The league is better off not having his hooks in one of their franchises.

Depends...I know people who have worked for him for almost a decade now and are VERY happy...They may not be union, but he actually pays better and gives better benefits than the unions do... As long as you don't do something stupid like use drugs, you should be ok...
