Yeup, Oakland was doomed once Goodell quickly rejected the new proposal from them. It had stuff better than the Vegas deal but league didn't care and was already set on moving the team once Sheldon Adelson dropped out for Vegas.
Only team it seemed the league really didn't want to move was the Chargers which is why they were supposedly furious when the Chargers owner grabbed the 2nd LA spot. Also think they were offered the most money by the league to stay. |
I hope that dumbshit fan from that XFL video is happy.

Raiders way of celebrating today's news was to announce ticket prices for the next couple of seasons got raised by 50% on average with cheaper seats going even higher to over 200%.

Haha. Hope everyone boycotts.
|
At least the Rams and Chargers were shit when they moved so it was a good time to move on for fans. Also, the Chargers moved like 3 hours away so no big deal really.
The Raiders finally have a good team with a bright future and they're leaving. Sucks for the fans. |
Wrong thread.
|
What eventually will happen now is sports betting will be legalized and the leagues will get a cut of it to supplement the fact that tv contracts are going to fall off with everyone dumping pay tv. There's really no other perpetual money stream for the NFL and other leagues to tap into to replace it.
|
It'll suck for the Raiders fans even more when the NFL adjusts the broadcast maps to make the Chargers the main team in Oakland instead of the Raiders.
|
I like it. Always hate watching the Raiders play on a baseball diamond.
|
Jerry Jones rumored to have played a major role in getting the league to approve all three teams to move due to his marketing company having connections with these teams. Also the rumored reason why the Miami owner voted no for the Raiders move was because Jones cut into his business there and/or beat him to a lucrative deal with Vegas.

Oakland losing the Raiders and Warriors will suck for fans in that city. Always liked the Raiders (not as much as the Cowboys) and think Las Vegas is a great place for them.
Are the A's looking to get a new stadium? Oakland should do everything they can to keep them. |
Quote:
Might have just been the vibes, but the mayor sort of implied the NFL gave an ultimatum of them dropping the As and doing everything pro-Raiders just to have the chance of keeping the Raiders. |

According to reports, teams have been dropping Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon from their potential 1st round pick choices and its related to a domestic violence incident he had in 2014. Dolphins and Pats already came out publicly saying they won't take him in the 1st round while experts think he's probably now a 2nd or 3rd rounder at best.
Supposedly NFL teams were upset he never got a real punishment from the NCAA nor Oklahoma while in college. He did get redshirted but teams felt Oklahoma only did it because they already had enough talented RBs on their roster to not feel any effect. They were upset the most of Mixon not showing any remorse till the tape of the incident got released last December and felt he only did so in order to salvage his draft stock. |
I ordered my proxy service for the 2017 Westgate Super Contest. Going to las Vegas over July 4th to sign up. Can't wait to do this and win some big money
|
I just saw that as of the Oakland As home opener the stadium will be known as Rickey Henderson Field at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum. I wonder if the Raiders get to name it for a player for Raiders ganes
|
City of St Louis currently suing both the NFL and the Rams in regards to claims of Rams failing to follow NFL's relocation rules and NFL for being actively involved in getting the team to leave.
City is pissed the most about being on the hook for $144 million left on the stadium's debt and Rams breaking the terms of their lease the moment it became possible because of the NFL. Quote:

Hope they win.

Let that be a lesson in public funding of stadiums

Eli Manning currently dealing with some legal issues after it was revealed he has been active in selling fake game-worn merchandise to memorabilia buyers.
Giants also dealing with similar legal issues after an equipment manager was outed as helping Manning with the scam. Quote:
|
What a dick.
|
So does Eli get suspended? He almost has to or Pats fans are going to be impossible
|
Apparently this issue became a big deal at least in regards to the memorabilia side mainly because Eli and the Giants are near the tops when it comes to supplying game-used stuff for purchases.
Cowboys have more interest and popularity overall but Giants stuff sells the most in regards to demand for NFL merch. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...5&postcount=19 http://www.sportsmemorabilia.com/sna...bilia-industry Giants got dragged into the lawsuit because they forgot to delete one email between Eli and the equipment manager out of all the emails deleted on this topic. Had they also deleted that email, there would have been no known concrete or strong evidence of what Eli was doing for the scam. |
Feel bad for Todd Heap.

Yep. Was only a matter of time for that. No idea why he waited so long.
|
Just watched. They had a time out. Run off should have been negated and one final play.
|
... No they didn't.
|
Ah nvm. Looked at the thing wrong. The new set up of time outs and posessions made it look like they had one.

Seriously, it's the dumbest fucking rule in football. If you control the ball and make a football move, it's a catch. If you have the catch, by those rules, and then reach for the goalline, it's a touchdown as soon as it crosses the plane.
... If the guy falls to the ground and the ball hits the ground and moves slightly after all of that has already happened, you basically retroactively did NOT catch the ball. |
Crazy idea: A guy catching a football should be ruled a catch.
|
He didn't make a football move. He stumbled into the endzone while catching and it hit the ground and turned. No football move, no control, no catch. No new rule to correct it.
|
Just stick to making fun of Droford and the Ravens.
|
He did make a football move. He turned his body, went to a knee and lunged for the touchdown.
Like I said, if it happened to the Patriots, you'd be bitching because that's what you do. You defended Gronkowski assaulting a defenseless guy after a play, FFS. You're a Droford-level delusional homer. You don't get to have an opinion on this. |

Blind homerism. Gotta love it.

Who was the homer in New York watching every angle?

Also, who was the blind homer in New York handing down the punishment for Brady?
Thought so. Guilty. |
They refused all the science of that case. Different.
|
No bias possible when it's in the Pats favor.
Definitely bias when it's against the Pats. Blind... homer... |
So, you deny that they ignored the Ideal Gas Law and the crazy weather that happened during the game?
|
Proving my point more and more.
SUCH a blind homer. Keep going. |
Let's not forget the whole situation where you defended Rob Gronkowski intentionally concussing a man. Doesn't get much more blind homer-tastic than that. Your blind homerism shows as much as Droford's.
|
He's been sent to the hospital because defenders know they won't get calls for holding and roughing him up.
When that guy maybe lines up in the playoffs maybe he follows the rules a little more closely. |
... Seriously? lol
|
If Gronk is guilty of pass interference and it doesn't get called and the defender reacts by driving his elbow into Gronk's neck and head while he's on the ground defenseless and leaves him concussed, or worse, you'll totally defend that guy's actions, right?
Blind homer to an insane level. And THAT'S why your opinion on stuff like the Steelers non-catch doesn't matter. |
STD is one of those fans who would get happy if the quarterback on the other team became paralyzed due to an illegal hit from his team.
|
Serious idol worship from std

How the hell is no one posting in here.

Cause everybody talks about the NFL, casually.

Fuck

Pats lost Amendola, Butler, and Dion Lewis. All good though! I forever have faith in the Belichick way
|
Edleman will be back but if you were really a Pats fan you'd remove that MURDERER from your CP.

ravens are looking like they could sign Bell
part of me doesnt like it |
The Raven's are always the pick of every player to be signed, most times they don't sign with the Ravens.
