If a team needs to be moved to LA, it is that shithole of a team. Al Davis deserves nothing in compensation for it either. He needs to be beaten with his catheter tube, and then shot. Problem solved.

The Raiders to LA is more likely when Davis passes. His son doesn't want to run the team. The guy building the stadium in LA (Roski) wants to own a team. AD doesn't want to sell.
If Roski is able to buy the Rams, Jags or Saints then I could see him renting his stadium to the Raiders for additional revenue.
LA would be a 2 team city again.
When I lived in SF the Raider stories on the local radio cracked me up.
APPARENTLY - Davis stays up late and gets to work late. This proved to be an issue when he wanted to can Kiffin because practice was over by the time Davis got to work. Kiffin was gone. Hard to fire someone who isn't there.
Another radio story was that JaMarcus Russell was known to be lazy. The coaches started to get the idea that he wasn't watching the dvd game films they were giving him so they gave him a blank dvd. The next day they asked him if he watched film and he said he did.
Tim Brown was on a show and was livid that Russell takes a check and doesn't do the work.
Don't forget about #1 draft picks in this decade - Derrick Gibson, Michael Huff, Fabian Washington, Robert Gallery (#3 overall) , Philip Buchanon, Nap Harris, and DRUM ROLL Sebastian Janikowski!
