Raiders relocation to Las Vegas

[duaneh1]

I am winding down my car's restoration including its full floor pans, inner & outer rockers, rocker supports, front pedal area with bracket, bearing brackets, fender joining panels, door hinge post bottoms, door lock posts, rear left quarter panel, both jack tubes, various parts or metal parts that don't exist that I fabricated in my garage with limited tools, and both inner fenders. Soon to have all refurbed suspension parts with ventilated brakes added. When I get some more time I will post some pics of the process from beginning to end. The car is in epoxy gray so since the Raiders are relocating to town I placed a facetious sticker on & here's a pic.

Why would one owner vote against receiving 50 million (per owner) in relocation fees?

With 50 million, you could make quite a few Outlaw 911s. Would be really pretty in silver and black with a Raiders sticker on it. Or perhaps now the logo will be a pair of dice?

I would assume the Miami owner will still receive his 50 million. He was able to make a statement and still get his money.

So if you paint it silver and black and slap a Raider sticker on it, Will it quit running?

Thanks for the thought. I will stick with the original Irish Green. I put the faux sticker on because of the epoxy color matching the news of the day. I don't particlularly care for pro football. Bringing a pro football team to Las Vegas brings jobs & other income other than gambling, so while I feel for Oakland, I am excited for the change in landscape for LV.

The Raiders will head to Tijuana -- if the money is right. They have been adrift since the immaculate reception loss to the Steelers. John Madden often said he and others never truly recovered from it. (...Franco's mother said she sang to a record of Ave Maria in the living room to offset the stone quiet of her family watching the set. )

HAHA I used to have a soft spot for the Raiders until they got clobbered by the Bucs in the SUper Bowl. That did it for me

Shame on Oakland's​ idiots of authority. They've lost the Warriors and now the Raiders (twice). Better take care of the A's just to prevent rioting.

Good for the leadership of Oakland to not fall to the blackmail of the NFL to enrich the owners out of the pockets of taxpayers in Oakland. Those in Oakland that want to drop $500 plus to see a NFL game live can just drive across the bridge?
Same thing in San Diego. The only losers of that deal are going to be the Chargers or LA #3, whatever they will be called.
