It would be the most Spanos thing to do that after not budging on it for years in San Diego.

Which honestly would be a step up because the Chargers' current Navy unis look like Penn St. hand-me-downs.

They should wear their color rush jerseys from last year permanently

It'd never happen, but i'd really love for him to work for the Chargers in some capacity. He has a serious eye for talent, and frankly Telesco could really use some help in that department...

Talent isn't Telesco's problem.

He just needs to focus on players who aren't permanently hurt and had giant red flag injury issues coming out of college

Oakland's OL is, at worst, top 5 in the league.

Derek Carr's left tackle gave up one sack on the entire season and Carr broke his leg on it.

You do not want to imagine Derek Carr playing behind Indy's offensive line. Or hell, Oakland's OL minus a Donald Penn and plus one Ereck Flowers.

Watching a real good QB behind a poo poo line is sad

Seems like maybe a 50/50 split on people who will continue to follow the Raiders and people who want fire and brimstone based on comments sections.

Most Raiders fans I know are about how I am with the Chargers. Really wanted them to stay, annoyed they're moving, will still be Raiders fans.

There's a little more gently caress Spanos than gently caress Mark Davis talk though

Tennis players playing at advanced ages are super impressive because the prime of the sport is so much younger. Federer winning the Aussie Open was amazing. It's just not as taxing as some of the other sports mentioned.

It's not a shot at Tennis, which is a cool and good sport
