Be careful. Those trophies are antiques now.

I miss Al so much

apparently they finally uninstalled the overhead projector this year

part of me feels like the team should just be ground up for pet food
and i hate even saying it

but...it's the same bullshit, again & again & again! i'm so fed up

http://deadspin.com/report-oakland-raiders-to-file-relocation-papers-for-m-1791206853

After months of gross negotiations between craven billionaires, what was all but official is reportedly one step closer to being actually official: the Oakland Raiders are preparing to file relocation papers for their move to Las Vegas, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

The NFL gave the Raiders a window of about five weeks to file for relocation—from their playoff elimination last weekend to February 15. After their paperwork is submitted, the team will need approval from three-fourths of NFL owners to make the move a reality. That vote should come this spring.

The news comes three months to the day after the Nevada State Assembly approved a bill raising taxes to help pay for a new NFL stadium. That tax increase will give the Raiders a record $750 million in public money for the proposed $1.9 billion stadium, with casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson chipping in a reported $650 million of his own to help cover the rest. (Though the Raiders have promised the NFL that they have commitments from Goldman Sachs to cover Adelson’s share if he pulls out, which is a possibility that Adelson has discussed in his up-and-down negotiations with team owner Mark Davis.) The Raiders will be responsible for the remaining $500 million for the stadium, almost none of which will come from the team itself—a sizable loan from the NFL, plus the sale of new personal seat licenses, will take care of much of that.

thinking of ways to make this more evil, coming up short

;_;

oops!

Got to wonder if this is the beginning of big money betting that NFL's peaked and the mega deals starting to slide.

so

boy the nfl sure is a dumb league

;_;

this is really lame. nfl SUCKS

mr veg said he's done with them But idk if i can quit them? lame, right? Theyre the whole reason I started watching football

ugh

It's too soon to decide but i am so fkn bummed

don't miss out on your chance to see them before they move - ticket prices have only been increased by a mere 40%.

as if i would miss that are u kidding

picking up marshawn is kind of the only way i could imagine them getting oakland goodwill right now, kudos

seems . . . excessive

Raiders are giving new head coach Jon Gruden a 10-year contract, the longest coaching deal in NFL history, sources tell ESPN. The deal is likely to be worth about 00 million.

yeah it is incredible. so raiders

i'm calling 2 years before he's gone. may need to be a poll on this.

i hope there's a clause compelling him to adopt the mark davis bowl cut

i feel weird & annoyed about this whole thing

like, i dont like the way the Del Rio firing was handled, let alone that it happened at all

doubling down on Gruden who has not coached in almost 10 years feels like a doomed exercise. like, sure he’s a good dude but this is a total fanservice move. if this doesn’t work & there’s a good chance it won’t, then we are so fucking ~nowhere~

wow, i just realized that jon gruden with a mark davis cut would look exactly like...mark davis???

joke's on you for calling them 'we'

xp

yeah sorry veg this seems like a horrible move. also the raiders just seem to be in bad shape generally after this season, like anything that seemed to be a bright spot after 2016 gradually faded.

just gonna walk into the ocean right now thx guys

at least they didn't hire bill cowher i guess

:/

sorry veg

honestly i would MAAAAYBE consider this contract with belechick but 10 years for any coach just seems insane, like even good coaches things can get stale, like I dunno, tom coughlin or someone like that who did great things and was a good coach it just felt like the air had gone out of the thing

lol @ raiders

This reminds me of when the Washington football squad brought back Gibbs.

i'd bet three years

gruden had them over a f'n barrel didn't he

Does this mean my boys are finally getting Don Shula back

everyone gets their favorite old coach back

sam wyche is only 73

tbh idk why we didn’t just go for Madden

According to three sources, Jon Gruden spent round 1 of the draft imploring the #Raiders: Draft Johnny Manziel. Just imagine #whatif

LOL @ RAIDERS

I think this is a solid move. The Raiders are in the same position the Chargers are in ... even if they're good, fans will be slow to convert to them. Vegas is Cowboys/Broncos territory imo. A famous big personality head coach isn't a terrible idea if they can keep him away from personnel decisions. Raiders are pretty drab when you get down to it so maybe he can help reinvigorate them somewhat.

yr drab

i can't wait for the first time gruden motions 5 different guys to get 4 yards on a screen pass.
