TK Show: Amy Trask on how Raiders could have stayed in Oakland

But Al Davis knew the Raiders needed a stadium and all those exotic revenue streams. “This gives us the ability to achieve that”. “It truly is an exciting time to be from Las Vegas”. It’s like moving the Boston Celtics from Boston or the Lakers from Los Angeles.

JUST MOVE AGAIN, BABY: Davis’ son Mark took over the team after his father’s death in 2011. “WE will be resilient and WE stay together because that is what true Raiders do”.

PHOENIX (AP) — One day after approving the Oakland Raiders’ move to Las Vegas, NFL owners got busy passing several rules changes and adopting resolutions they believe will speed the game and enhance player safety. They also support lobbying efforts by fans on the rare occasion that the Cowboys and Texans play on the same network at the same time.

Vegas Hockey Hotline with Brian Blessing, the Golden Knights’ owner attacked the $750 million in public funding suggesting that money could be put to better use for the residents of the Silver State.

Nevada brothel owner Dennis Hof plans a brothel inspired by the Las Vegas Raiders.

Though many fans are angry at the Raider’s for this decision, can you really blame the team?

The city of Oakland does have a small part to play in this, because the Coliseum is way passed it’s prime.

But the presence of the A’s in that sports complex was particularly troubling to the NFL, Goodell said. The news of the move may have cost them some fans in the Bay Area, but winning could help them keep most of Raider Nation. “But we hope that they do not direct that frustration to the player, coaches and staff”.

Las Vegas is not at all the ideal solution-it’s probably the wrong city, with too much debt, it harms Oakland yet again, and it possibly stretches out the Raiders’ far-flung fan base a bit too far. The mayor and her team have worked incredibly hard to save the franchise.

Johnston told HuffPost since the Raiders are a “famous brand”, they likely have dilution and tarnishment rights, which means they could argue that having a brothel associated with the brand might tarnish its image.

Davis on Monday thanked Adelson for his “vision and leadership”, saying the entire deal might not have happened without him. The city would certainly have more prep time than the last time it hosted National Football League regular season games: When the New Orleans Saints played three games at the Alamodome in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina.

Jerry Jones loved Al Davis, and he was helping Al’s son get that stadium, at last. By adopting a rule that teams would have to change names if they change cities, the National Football League would be sending a message to relocation-minded owners that while they might gain major new streams of revenue, they would have to lose something in the process.
