No way Jose  ;D Carr will be the one for now and let's hope he can be like the Brady, Manning, and Rodgers type. O0

But it's good to have Cook, did you know the Cowboys wanted him in the draft but we took him.  ;D Imagine that, someone else could have had Prescott. It's still too soon to say if he is really good.

Despite what happened in the last couple of games of the regular season and the wild card game, I'm still proud of my Silver and Black boys as the did something they haven't done in 14 years...

..Now I'm hoping my Sac Kings can make the NBA playoff this season as they are hovering around the number 8th seed thus far in the Western Conference...I t's been double digit years since the last time they made the playoff too.

Still proud! We were just unfortunately plagued with too many injuries.

The NFL finance and stadium committee had a meeting in New York City today and here's the latest.


The Raiders have made “impressive” progress on a potential move to Las Vegas, NFL executive vice president Eric Grubman told Bonsignore.

Mark Davis should be announcing something this week.

The Raiders have officially filed for relocation to Las Vegas. That's the first step. Now they will need a total of 24 votes from NFL owners to formally make the move. When all is done, when they are giving the green light, the team will continue to play in Oakland the next two season while the stadium is being built.

As fans, how do you guys feel about that?  Would you retain loyalty or jump on Chargers or 49ers?

Won't affect me much as I'm a real...Just like when they moved to L.A., I still support them just the same...No bandwagon jumper here.. O0

Will never tamper with my loyalty. I am a fan of the team not the city.

That actually happened here with the Hornets. The fans were supportive of the team when they moved to NO. When Charlotte started up the Bobcats the fans were torn. But eventually some of my friends remain loyal to the city and not the team and when Michael Jordan brought back the name Hornets to the city of Charlotte the fans forgot about NO team. For me, if that ever happen to the Raiders, I am pretty sure I will remain a fan.

You still have time, the Raiders will still play in Oakland for another 2-3 years. I know it's pricey at times but it will be worth it.

It might happen..   The funny thing was. during mid semester I told my classmate (die hard raiders fan).  Once I get a job, lets go to a raiders game together. He said "only if you wear black and silver" I told him sure, I would not wear 49ers gear, I'm not trying to die. lol .  Sadly it might not happen now...

Not trying to pay an arm and a leg to go to a 49ers game. I'm a big fan, but that's a bit high lol.  I think he said his raiders tickets this season was something like 100 bucks and then he got hooked up for some "legends package" for 200.

Although the Raiders are still playing in the 50 y.o. falling apart Coliseum, their tickets could cost more than 49ers tickets mainly because of their success. Therefore in the next couple of years, the ticket prices of both teams might be pretty similar or Raiders tickets might likely cost more if they continue success as stated in this article:

(KCBS) — Tickets to see the Oakland Raiders used to be easy to find and easy on the wallet, but now the team is red hot – and so are the tickets.

Stubhub says tickets to Raiders games at the 50-year-old, dilapidated Oakland Coliseum are out-pricing San Francisco 49ers games at Levi’s Stadium.

Oh. the move isn't instant (if approved)?

Well. 100-300 isn't that bad.  can save up for it once I get a job.

Once approved by 24 votes from NFL owners in June then the stadium will have to be built.

The road to LV just got difficult, one of the investor Adelson just pulled out of his plans on funding the stadium deal. The result of that made Goldman Sachs pulling out of financing the deal. Davis is still all in but he will need to come up with the money, I believe they are short $650 million.

After losing the Chargers to L.A., San Diego is looking to get the Raiders too. Judging by the last game my Raiders played the Chargers at Qualcomm stadium, there's a good amount of Raiders fans there already..
