You can take the Raiders out of Oakland, but you can’t take the Oakland out of the Raiders.

Why would the Dolphins care? But then, why would any of the other teams care?

The Raiders owners and management are probably still kicking themselves in the butt for the fact that the Chargers got first dibs on L.A. after the Rams went back.

“The Miami Dolphins were the only team to vote against the move”

Why?

I don’t care where we beat the Raiders. We would beat the Raiders in Biscayne Bay.

The Dolphins care because this is going to be the best Superbowl location. Plenty of hotels and gambling.

Let’s just hope Vegas has genderless bathrooms.

Raiders - like of your money there. Wonder if they should change their logo to the Bellagio Casino.

It used to nice there when the Family was in charge. Now its just another urban sh*t-hole with as much smog as LA and congested roads as New York. Difference is its much hotter in Vegas and the Hoover Dam ain’t necessarily a perpetual provider.

who is getting stiffed for a new stadium?

I can see the NFL games now.. "The LV Raiders will win next week, or your head linesman might find himself in a car accident. "

"Take the cannoli, leave the penalty flag..."
