Raiders expected to fire offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and promote QB coach Todd Downing as their new OC. Main reason appears to be due to Musgrave not willing to go more heavy in rushing attack when the team started to struggle on the offense after Carr got hurt.

I don't like the Chargers moving to LA but I completely understand. If San Diego doesn't want to build a stadium then it their loss. At least the Raiders won't be in LA now. Hopefully they can get a stadium built in Oakland although I do like the sound of Las Vegas Raiders.

Damian Rey 2.0 01-12-2017 04:17 PM

I'm not a huge football guy. I know that they've been trying the last number of years to get a downtown deal done, and even went as far as trying to add on a waterfront property as part of an extension of the convention center to benefit comic con.

Little did I know they've been on a year to year lease for 16 years. That's ridiculous. Especially when the NFL has made it clear they would bring the Super Bowl here regularly should a new stadium be built.

The biggest clash was ownership wanted downtown and public officials wanted to rebuild on the current property.

It sucks since I am a casual charger fan but looking at it objectively it's the city's fault and more so the publicly appointed officials for consistently not budging and calling ownership's bluff.

Now they have egg of their face. But of course fans are blaming ownership.

There's also this silly claim that the Chargers won't have a fan base in LA. Even though up to a 3rd of their season ticket holders reside in the Orange county area. No reason to think they won't maintain that part of the fan base moving forward.

Yeah its very similar to the As situation in baseball with them desperately needing a new stadium but have too many problems in the way.

Chargers biggest break was Raiders deciding they'd rather be in Vegas than LA for relocation. Was rumored a bit the Chargers might have considered moving to Oakland if the LA option was closed.

NFL currently rumored to be fining the Seahawks a draft pick due to the team failing to properly report injuries on the team.

The Seahawks are cooperating with the NFL's investigation. Sources say the club is contending that because Sherman never missed a snap during the season, the team should not be severely penalized.

The league had already handed down a fifth-round forfeiture to the Seahawks on Sept. 19 for a repeat violation of rules governing offseason workouts. Sources tell Mortensen that an elevation of that penalty to a second-round forfeiture is under serious consideration.

Also under consideration are additional fines for the franchise and Carroll, who made the admission after the Seahawks' NFC divisional-round elimination to Atlanta.


Emperor Smeat 01-21-2017 01:51 AM

Pats might not be the most despised team in the NFL anymore based on a recent report about the NFL being livid the Chargers decided to move to LA.

Turns out the NFL never actually wanted 2 teams to be in LA this quickly even though it was implied they did during the talks involving the Rams, Raiders, and Chargers. Might have been a huge reason why the Chargers/Raiders shared stadium never had strong support with the owners as an option. Also gave them the most money to stay out of the 3 teams even though it wasn't close to bridging the gap of money needed.

Rams struggling in their first season in LA in terms of support was a huge reason why things quickly went sour for the league.

According to ESPN.com, pretty much everyone in the NFL hates the idea of the Chargers in L.A. One source told ESPN that many of the league's 32 owners are "upset with the Chargers for moving."

It's not just the owners, either. The league office is "beside itself" over the Chargers' move.

In what might be the most surprising part of the report, the NFL actually wants the Chargers to move back to San Diego, although the league doesn't actually think that's a realistic possibility.

Chargers owner Dean Spanos is probably going to be horrified when he hears this news, because he used to be one of the league's most beloved owners (among the other owners). Instead, he's now viewed as a villain in San Diego, no one seems to care for him in Los Angeles, and it seems that he's lost the backing of his fellow owners. That's a trifecta of ugliness that's going to be difficult to recover from.

The fact that the league was completely against the Chargers' move shouldn't come as a surprise. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear on several occasions that he wanted the Chargers to remain in San Diego.

Not only did Goodell say that keeping the Chargers in San Diego was a priority, but he also promised to give the city a Super Bowl if it could figure out a way to build a new stadium.

As for the owners, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora can explain why they're upset. As La Canfora reported in early January, several owners had "grave concerns" about putting a second team in L.A. so soon.

After 21 years without a team, the league didn't want to rush into L.A. The owners and the league also didn't want to put a second team in the market with the Rams still trying to win fans over after a rough season. If the NFL starts to struggle in L.A., the owners are going to blame Spanos.

Casino mogul who is the main reason why the Raiders are moving to Vegas recently pulled out of the deal he had with the team.

Apparently its due to recent terms the Raiders proposed for the stadium which would have meant less power and money for Sheldon Adelson. Raiders now need to come up with an extra $650 million in order to honor their side of the stadium deal made with the city.

Another big investor recently pulled out of the Raiders' Vegas deal with this time being Goldman Sachs bank. Now the Raiders owe even more money on the new stadium unless they can find a new rich investor or group soon.

The bank was meant to be a backup plan in case the stuff with Adelson fell apart but since they have very close financial ties with Adelson, they decided to leave the Raiders than risk future business with Adelson.

Seahawks escaped the Wrath of Goodell in regards to them hiding legit injuries from the league. Got off with just a warning instead of the potential loss of a 2nd Round draft pick.

NFL found out they were hiding a serious injury Richard Sherman was suffering and were listing different injuries and/or reasons for his official status in order to stay eligible for games. Only noticed the deception when the Sehawks suddenly changed his injury to something different one week.

The league had considered docking the Seahawks a second-round pick for failing to disclose the injury, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen last month.

The violation was determined to be the result of a misinterpretation of the policy's reporting requirements, a source told ESPN's Adam Caplan.

Sherman never missed a game last season. The Pro Bowl cornerback was listed on the injury report in 11 of the team's final 12 games (including the playoffs), but the knee injury was never listed. In 10 of those weeks, he missed practice time, but the Seahawks listed the reason as "non-injury related." In Week 12, Sherman was listed with an ankle injury.

The NFL's rule says, "If any player has a significant or noteworthy injury, it must be listed on the practice report, even if he fully participates in practice and the team expects that he will play in the team's next game."

Some recent NFL news:
* Jets released Darrelle Revis although team states it was due more to costs reasons than his recent legal mess.

* Jets rumored to be interested in signing Colin Kaepernick once he opts out of his deal with the 49ers. Browns were also rumored to be a possible team interested but they ended up deciding to look elsewhere for a new QB.

* Chris Long is leaving the Pats after just 1 year with the team. Pretty much said its due to him achieving everything he wanted to do there with going to the playoffs and winning a ring.

* According to reports, Pats are keeping Jimmy Garrappolo for at least next year and Belichick wants to raise his trade value price to a kings ransom level.

* Both the Vikings and Raiders are currently interested in signing Adrian Peterson. Vikings are only interested if they can get him for less than what his previous deal was paying per year.

* Steelers resigned James Harrison to a new 2 year, $3.5 million deal.

You just gotta poke Romo these days and he gets injured. Especially that collarbone of his.

Nope. Don't want Cutler back. Unless some sucker team picks him up, he's got zero value.

I wouldn't mind taking a risk on Kirk Cousins. But his price will be too high.

So, unless John Elways works some magic, I'm content with Trevor Siemian back behind center. Unless Paxton Lynch beats him out during the pre-season.

According to ESPN, Cowboys are rumored to be pulling Tony Romo off of the trade market. Main reasons are due to nobody else really wants to take on his contract unless he took a huge pay cut and Cowboys honoring Romo's request of only being tradeable to a few teams.

Once Texans backed out of possible trade talks, made it almost impossible for a trade to happen any time soon. Only other major team was the Broncos but were not as interested in doing a trade since they rather grab him for free.

Fox Sports also trying to convince Romo to retire and sign an announcer deal with them instead.

Oakland submitted a new plan to the Raiders to help sway the team to stay instead of leave for Las Vegas.

Basically the stadium would cost less than the Vegas planned stadium but Raiders wouldn't need as much money on their end for the deal and don't have to worry about sharing the new stadium with the Oakland As.

Only problem is the new stadium wouldn't be ready till 2021 at the earliest and league is still expected to pick the Vegas plan. Even offered a reduced relocation fee to keep Vegas on board with the plans.

Not a baseball or football season goes by where you don't hear a horror story about pipes bursting in the locker room or sewage flooding the dugout at O.co Stadium.

Raiders want out, Athletics are looking for a way out.

It's not rigged at all, in my opinion. Cities these days just not gonna play ball (no pun intended) with sports teams. Others are are willing to complement them. This is just another one of those cases.

How much money does the owner of the Raiders have?

And what services would be cut for this deal to work?

It's a bloody con game. Hell, Atlanta has been conned twice here recently by this horse shit.

Owners have approved a Raiders move by a 31-1 vote. Miami was the lone dissenting vote.
