That Alex Smith bootleg fake to Ware in the 3rd quarter was Andy Reid trolling.
Just pure gaming the defense with everything. It was a joke.

Was basically just the Governor signing the 2 bills for the stadium and convention center.

Just heard on 957 that the vote for the move has been pushed to the middle of 2017.
I think the NFL are pushing it to see what Oakland/Lott/Debartolo have to come up with in the interim.
Last I heard, the Lott group had til the end of November (?) to formulate a plan and he has been working with Oakland & Alameda County.
They also got a Sports Business Consultant on now, and he doesn't see Vegas happening...doesn't even see an owners vote taking place, which is crazy. Dude is really going in on why Oakland is so much a better market than Vegas.

I've been trying to tell yall man, Vegas isn't going to happen. Obviously I'm biased and want the team in Oakland, but that has nothing to do with my outlook on Vegas.
Las Vegas is a relatively tiny market that's geographically isolated. The Bay Area is a massive market and probably the wealthiest geographic region in the world.
From an economic standpoint, which is the league's only interest here, It would be an extremely poor business decision for the NFL to move from the Bay Area to Las Vegas.
Let's hope NFL ratings continue to trend downward. Make the prospect of relocating from a national top 5 TV market, to a fringe top 50 TV market, appear even more absurd to owners.

Unless someone is offering Mark a free stadium in Oakland I don't see it, only the owners vote can save us

The NFL doesn't care if the stadium is free or not, owners are going to vote in their best interest. A free stadium in a poor market isn't in their best interest.
It serves Mark's interests, and if he commanded the respect or influence among owners to earn favors or facilitate some kind of quid pro quo for votes I'd be more concerned, but he doesn't.
I'd be on some kind of legal battle over control of the team and/or the right to relocate before Mark gets 75% of NFL owners to make a decision that's not in their best interest.

I agree, I suspect the NFL and owners are prepared for a legal fight with Mark if it's necessary.

I'm pulling for y'all to stay in Oakland, Vegas is no place for an NFL franchise.

The only way the Raiders stay in Oakland is if the league pays for the stadium.

It's against Mark and Adelson(31 billion dollar man).

I mean the leagues not paying for a stadium. That would be unprecedented.
Raiders path to staying in Oakland is unchanged, only way it gets done is with more private money.

I hope they stay, being a Bay Area native. It's a long shot for Oakland now. They would have to give in to all of Marks request. Plus we still have the A's stadium issues. They want control over the same land the Raiders want to use for a stadium.

Not sure if tryin to strong arm relocation is the best play for Mark but see you in court.

Mark has to say that at this point, no way he backslides on Vegas publicly after all this.
The decision is still not his to make.

He's just digging himself in such a big hole right now, if the NFL owners deny his relocation then what? He's going to be walking with his tail tucked between his legs...Plus he's totally making season ticket holders feel like ****. this dude is so out of touch with his fan base and so out of his league in being an NFL owner that he seriously thinks these comments are benefiting him and his cause

Maybe the Guggenheim group wants to buy a football team.

So on point. At this point mark should just sell the team. Get your cash and get the **** out.

The Davis family is the Raiders...NFL wouldn't even be the NFL if it wasnt for Al..with all the disgusting nepotism in the league this is the dude yall choose to hate.

Giving Mark a pass for being incompetent and out of touch because he's Al's son pretty much defines nepotism.
