They should just move up north to Sacramento

We dont have room for two failure franchises.

Homeless Raiders

Turn the Raiders into the London Silly Nannies

San Diego told the NFL that they'd happily take the raiders. lol

It's almost like they wanted it to fall through. They cant be that stupid...can they?

Are you really questioning it ?

What kind of haircut is that? It looks like he puts a bowl on his head. That is the classic bowl cut.....

It's one of those hair club for men partially living hair pieces. You have to get a special haircut when you have one of those. A guy I know did it and gave up on it after 6 months.

It is.

I don't want Raiders moved to San Diego or LA or Oakland. California can't afford for two teams. They need separate other one by city than two teams in area city. I want Raiders should move to Las Vegas and better will earn good business the tickets in Las Vegas. It is very important to business tickets than two team in SF and Oakland. I don't like to see 49ers fans and Raiders fans fight each other in Oakland and SF city area. It is not good for business tickets games.

They better not come to Levi's!

NFL teams demand something for nothing. By last count Sheldon Adelson was worth 31 billion, even he is not about to throw away 650 mill for the privilege of an NFL team in his backyard. The Raiders wanted a one dollar lease, I'm surprised they asked for that much. The Golden Goose does not last forever.

It was a little more than that too. Adelson was willing to put up $650 mil of his cash but Adelson apparently wanted part ownership of the Raiders and that is something that fell on deaf ears with Davis and the Raiders. There was already tension between Adelson and the Raiders building shortly after the approval by Las vegas officials to move forward.When Davis submitted the lease agreement without having Adelson's family involved, Adelson felt they were going behind his back which apparently was the last straw. Adelson also has a very strong relationship with Goldman Sachs which probably influenced them to pull out as well. From what I read the Las Vegas Stadium Authority is still gonna push on to secure the financing for the stadium somehow. I doubt they will have done that by the time it goes to vote next month though. It certainly wont come by an increase in contribution from NV taxpayers. gov. Sandoval had made that clear. The 750 mil from the increased hotel taxes are all that the state is gonna contribute.

You are right though. the Golden Goose doesn't last forever.
