Oakland Raiders file trademark applications for Las Vegas
 

So this explains the NFL PR hype-machine this off-season...all the narratives these "pundits" parrot is premeditated in the league offices. It's getting as bad as CNN and Fox....

O god, I think LA can barely handle one team... This is going to be so bad

:rolleyes:

Huh? The Raiders have been rumored to Vegas for a while. This would be one step that way.

The Raiders in Vegas make a lot of sense.

Yeah it worked out so great the last elevbilitie times

You clearly have no idea what happened in Los Angeles with the Rams.

What does Las Vegas have to do with Los Angeles?

Thats what Im trying to figure out.

I do, but clearly you don't remember the Raiders stopping in town.

LA has way to much other stuff going on for two teams in my opinion.

Las Vegas is not Los Angeles...or am I missing something...

O weird for some reason I thought it was LA........ Doh

Do the dumbasses realize that the teams moved from Los Angeles because of stadium issues and one owner was a whore, the other Al Davis. It wasn't fan support. They will have a Jerry World type stadium in a location known for Los Angeles sports. No brainier decision.

Not LA, Las Vegas makes little sense to me... I think San Antonio would be better (Selfishly want to go to Chiefs game every years that is only 2 hours away)

Your opinion is invalid.

171,000 people attended the Rams home PRESEASON games.

The Rams are sold out for 2016. Ticket demand is insane.

When the new stadium opens, the ticket prices and demand will only increase.

Your ass must hurt from all the talking its done this morning

........... Staying power my friend........

Hey your Cuck expert, I'll leave the ass pain judging to you ROFLROFLROFLROFL

English, mother****er! Do you speak it?

So, let's review: You confuse Las Vegas with Los Angeles, claim that Los Angeles can't support an NFL team despite the fact that the Rams have sold out 2016 and had 171,000 people attend two preseason games and when confronted with facts, your response is to call me a cuck?

:rolleyes:

You're definitely not Houstonwhodat. He was about 10x smarter than you.

You are definitely a Cuck, I said LA couldn't support two teams. I admitted my mistake already.

And you are arguing for the two preseason games with a NFL team in LA for first time in how many years?

Lets see how it looks when Rams don't win for a while....... Jesus you a touchy ****

The Raiders have treated their fans like shit over the years. What a bunch of carpetbaggers. Then again, the City of Oakland is a giant cesspool, so they deserve an abusive relationship.

Bleeding Red getting his ass handed to him...

In the last 4 years before moving to St. Louis the Rams were 22nd, 25th, 25th & 28th respectively in a 28 team league. Even before that the were routinely around 15th. In order to get to a point where they were perennially a top 5 team in attendance you have to go all the way back to the mid 70's

Between 1994 & 1978 they finished top 10 in attendance 2 times (10th in '86 & 8th in '80)

Yeah it's the new shiny thing in LA, give them a few weeks of watching the Rams play & we'll see what their attendance looks like.

Thank you

Let's not put on like the Lou gave them a hell of a lot of support over the last few years. Going to a game at the Jones Dome is like going to the ****ing opera. It's not terrible but it's not a hell of a lot of fun either.

Do I need to show you their record the last 10 years or so?

No show them Jeff Fishers record as a head coach, that will surely inspire confidence

Who's your adopt-a-ram?

:facepalm:

Dipshittery

More dipshittery

I can't stand the Rams, especially with that lump of a coach in Jeff Fisher

Whose mult is this?

The destiny of the Raiders to Vegas is already sealed .

Why does everyone you disagree with have to be a boogey man from your past?

LMAO

Boogeyman?

:facepalm:

ROFL

So much Truth in this post!

Yea, but if they move to Vegas they don't need that many fans. Just fill the stadium with the other teams fans.

If the NFL gets over the gambling aspect, I think it could really work.

I hate to say it, but they are the most impressive Hard Knocks team in a while.

They have skill positions. Goff looks ready to grow. Their D-Line is beastly. I'd trade ANYONE on the Chiefs for Aaron Donald right this moment, and just about anyone on the Chiefs for Gurley.

Hate to say it, but the appeal of LA might be JUST the difference between wallowing in mediocrity and moving to the top for the organization.

I liked the Rams in the 70's and 80's, didn't dislike them when they made their incredible Super Bowl run but Jeff Fisher is just such a crappy coach with zero charisma that it makes it difficult for me to be even remotely interested in them.

Now, if Reid or Arians or Carroll or even a Mike Zimmer or Jay Gruden was the head coach, I'd have far more interest. But Fisher's just a lump.

That said, the Rams are all that anyone can talk about, even while the Dodgers are in 1st place and have a record number of injuries.

The NFL rules the roost.

I have the same thought being in Austin. Besides, the Spurs use the same colors so it would have been a solid match. But they would have had to fight with Jerry. He does not want to lose fans in state because you know, Texas isn't big enough to support 3 NFL teams! :rolleyes:

It's no different than the SF Giants not allowing the Oakland A's to play in San Jose, as they claim it as their territory.

I can't blame Jones in that regard. The Raiders would likely have significant appeal that state, especially the merch.

Why would Las Vegas be bad? I'm actually excited for the move.

If you're "excited" for the move, you're clearly not a Bay Area resident, nor have you ever lived there before.

Shocking.

A tree stump is as well.

I've never met a Cowboys fan from Texas or Raiders fan from California. The only differences between those fan bases is that one requires a criminal record to be a part of and the other one is optional.

When have I claimed to live in the bay area? I'm tired of the shithole there. Vegas would be a great venue and actually easier for me to fly to from Fresno.

I've lived in California since 1993 and know tons of Raiders fans from Los Angeles and the Bay area.

I don't think I've ever met a Cowboys fan.

At least you will build up some frequent flyer miles jetting into Vegas to watch your sorry ass team lose. Silver lining for the Silver and Black trash nation.

Only requirement for a chef fan is you must have built in excuses and conspiracy theories on why your team has been dog shit for many years.

Again, I think this is a great move for the Raiders and the NFL. People who might never go to a game will hit one in Vegas. The Raiders brand is perfect for selling all sorts of merch. I imagine they will do very well there.

Plus lots of booze, hookers, gambling and drugs-perfect fit.

So they will feel right at home. :)
