Didn't he lose a bet? what was it, change that tag for like 1day? At least when you, me, trips, RP make bets we honor it... usually through the seasons end and sometimes to the next season.
But in all fairness... he ranks NFL players based on Madden, He thought the NFL sentenced Vick to Jail and he's 12... so we should probably go easy on him..

1) I fail to see how it was a bad business move on her part. Clearly she got a great deal to move to STL and the performance of the team has little to do with it's location.
2) If LA is always talked about as this great football market and she made a bad business decision by leaving, then why hasn't a team gone back? Expansion or a moved team...
I just don't see the argument as to how it was a bad business deicison, the only thing brought up was Merchandise sales... The Raiders are one of the top every year, it has little to do with their teams performance, has a lot to do with it being popular gang colors and even still it's a moot point because (unless it changed and I missed it) NFL Merchandise sales are pool'ed and split evenly. This was the whole basis of Al Davis Law Suit againt the NFL, the Raiders sold so much do to the popular colors and the gang use he didn't want to split the funds, it's like the NFL had (maybe still does) a deal with Pepsi and it was for every single stadium in the NFL and Jerry Jones went and struck a deal with Coke for his stadium...
So, yeah, I don't see how she made a bad business decision and is a bad owner... but I'm open to hearing reasons to prove otherwise, maybe she's done a lot I don't know about... maybe they're always 50% under the cap, or she spend money for a good coach (who wouldn't have known Martz was a great #2 but a horrible head coach...)...
