I almost never open this threat but luckily the convo dovetails nicely with what I wanted to mention.

Isn't Buffalo Wild Wings a huge NFL sponsor? At least I seem to think I see their spots on the minimal NFL I view (eagles, sometimes in the bar monday nights).

SO, does the NFL have anything to say about the dude publicly shaming BWW with the fried chicken head? You'd think they'd be pissed.

Ravens have fired OC Marc Trestman and replaced him with our old friend Marty Mornhinweg.

Nevada Legislature will agree to pass the Las Vegas Stadium Bill for $750mill for the Raiders.


Now on to the NFL for the Raiders to make their pitch in January....

Migraines related to that game where he passed out at halftime?

Lions signed Justin Forsett

Senate Vote 16-5, Assembly will vote on Thursday for final say.


I'm like 90% sure the Raiders are moving to Vegas.

Assembly voted 28-13 to pass a hotel tax to help fund the stadium

They comin

Yes, that's why a lot of people use a hotel in Vegas

I'm on mobile so I don't have the picture handy but they raised the Hotel Tax 1.8ish% going from #14 to #10 in the country as far as % of Hotel Tax.

I think they will be insanely successful as far as popularity and not just because of the novelty of it. Should be interesting.

The extension of the monorail to Mandalay Bay will make things so easy and smooth getting to the stadium without having to even take a cab or Uber or rental car your entire stay.

You'd have to stay on a East side property (or west side and cross the strip) but I'm telling ya visiting will be a breeze.

Which was actually the one thing that I was sort of wondering about.

Funny that it FINALLY looks like the Raiders are going to be really good for a while too. The stars and $ all aligned in Vegas.

The flip side is that the NHL team is probably even more likely to fail. But, whatever...

Predators are doing okay with the Titans. They'll be fine.

You going to be a semi-fan? Fan?

I've always wondered about how places like OKC react when they get their own team when most already have loyalty elsewhere.

If you've been to the city this map might make a bit of sense. The Bali Hai land is a no go because of Southwest Airlines.

Philly teams will always be #1. I'll be more attached to the new expansion hockey team than Raiders because it's an expansion and not some other cities team. I'll root for the LV Raiders in any game not against the Birds.

Lots of Raiders transplants already in Vegas and a great portion of Raiders fans live in SoCal, 3 hour drive. Not worried about how stadium will shake out with fans.
