I was staying in Reno after burning man and the hotel slipped letters under all the doors that said literally "please don't scare the squares."

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
It's been like thirty years and I still think of the "he touched my breast!" scene from The Wizard whenever anyone mentions Reno.

John Mara, owner of the New York Giants, was quoted by Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post as early as March 20th of this year as calling the Raiders possible move to LV a "non-starter" issue and that most owners would dismiss it because of gambling issues. Fast forward 2 months and he is hedging his original bet on Vegas.

"I'm open-minded. I would want to hear a presentation about it and the pros and cons, and obviously there are some concerns, but I am not going to rule it out. The gambling, is the market deep enough to support an NFL team, what kind of stadium would be there, what kind of support are they going to get from the community? Those would be the concerns."

Mara didn't go as far as to endorse the idea, he says he wouldn't bet either way on it until after he sees a presentation that addresses the "pros and cons" of the move. However, he does admit that it might not be as big of an issue as he thought when Vrentas asks about whether the attitudes had changed about the gambling in Vegas.

I hope the Raiders stay in Oakland and just spend the money on modernizing the coliseum. (when I say modernize I'm picturing modifications a Warhammer 40k Ork would make with a half billion dollar budget)

Ronnie Lott is putting together an investment group to build a new stadium in Oakland and apparently has Goodell's backing.

It's no secret that the Raiders interest in Las Vegas turned the corner from flirtatious to for serious long ago, but now Mark Davis has reiterated that threat promise in a much more indisputable way. Davis was asked if he would turn his back on Vegas if a new stadium proposal would emerge in Oakland, and the answer was clearly forward ho for the Raiders in Sin City.

"No, I would not, and I've made that clear," Mark Davis said at the Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame Induction Dinner in Las Vegas. "The opportunity came up in Las Vegas, and we're giving it full bore. This is not a pawn in a game. We are serious.

"Right now, I'm focused on Las Vegas. We think it could make a great marriage with Las Vegas and the Raiders."

If it's still there, Las Hadas in Gaslamp is Hawaiian Mexican fusion (or something like that). They also make killer sangaritas during hh.

Change of plans announced by the committee chairman at the most recent meeting. Maybe they aren't so desperate for an NFL team now that the NHL is coming to town. This plan, which I have dubbed the gently caress you Sheldon Adelson plan, is only 24 hours old.

https://twitter.com/thejdmorris/status/746034195814748160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

quote:

The introduction of this new plan did not sit well with County Commissioner Steve Sisolak, who argued it was too much to digest at such a late date.

"I can't digest this in this amount of time," said Sisolak. "I think it's unfair to bring this forward in this way."

quote:

This was not received well by the Raiders. One anonymous Raider Employee was quoted to say "This is a F'ing Disaster!" and Mark Badain shook his head and said "The Raiders are not happy with what we heard today."
