Um, isn’t “Knights” going to be offensive to someone? Some Brit or all non-whites?

I don’t know, but I DO know that every time they fail to cover the spread because of a missed FG, extra point, or fumble there’s going to be a problem.

Yup brings back images of Knights of the KKK. But there’s also the Knights of Columbus...that may offend some though.

Put MLB in Las Vegas, have Pete Rose throw out the first pitch. You bet!

If I were involved in an NFL franchise, California and New York would be the last place I would want to be. The tax laws are punitive for both the franchise and the players.

Vegas is going to fun for the sports writers. The stadium will have to be air-conditioned. At least 2 college bowl games in Dec.-Jan. each year. A final 4 in basketball. College basketball tournaments each year. Conference college football play-off games. The Vegas domed stadium will be an entertainment bonanza for the local community. And how about some summer rock concerts. And a Raiders themed hotel with pirate motifs. An absolutely powerful tourist magnet.

Fair or not, this will be part of ineffectual mayor Libby Schaaf’s legacy

I see they changed the Chiefs/Stealers game time because of the coming ice storm. Batten down the hatches!

You think Oakland is a cesspit?

You ain’t never been to Vegas I guess.

“Why has LV never had a team?”

Because of gambling and that not that many people live there.

Oakland is going to lose the same team twice. Absolutely terrible thing to do to the die-hard Raiders fans in the East Bay, and there’s no way moving from one of the largest media markets on the country to a desert tourist town makes sense, but Mark Davis sees other NFL owners fleecing their communities and of course he’s going to want his share.
