Like...original costs from when it was built or have they done renovations at some point? Agreed that it probably shouldn't matter if they could actually get a plan in place for new stadiums, but that sounds like a pipe dream itself.

No Safe Word posted:My gut tells me that #1 is a far more likely situation. Even the high school football games in town weren't all that well-attended. Everywhere else in the world this would mean absolutely nothing, but since it's Texas I do actually find this pretty worrisome.

Eh, you could say that about comparing Reggie White to a 3rd year player too, even though those three years have been pretty amazing.

Random thing I just learned (or forgot and was reminded of) about Reggie White looking him up just now, he had 21 sacks in 12 games in 1987. That was the strike year but I don't think he broke the picket line to play against scabs if I'm reading things right. Yeah in the end Watt is Watt and White was White.

How did no one mention Las Vegas on the last page? Sure it won't happen because the NFL likes to push away the idea that gambling has anything to do with the popularity of the sport but it seems a lot more likely than some of the places that were brought up.

Well, it's really dumb but we're talking Mark Davis here. For whatever it's worth I do remember reading a bunch of stuff about how close Jerry was to Al, it's at least superficially believable. And again, Mark Davis.

I guess I was referring specifically to the highlighted part, which is way over the top and probably the writer purposely framing it that way more than anything. Although in the last decade it's hard to see where going to Jerry for advice on anything other than making money is worthwhile.

So, something is going on. Apparently there's a plan for a new stadium, maybe.quote:For months, Quan has been predicting that a broad agreement for a new Raiders stadium, costing $900 million to $1.2 billion, would be worked out by the summer's end. What do land and infrastructure improvements go for these days? I love the non-answer on the 120 million, 'Great question! Moving on,' and absolutely ignoring the A's.
