Besides obvious issues like the stadium just giving way to visiting fans constantly, being in the city that was perfect for facilitating the Henry Ruggs disaster disqualifies it as working out "really well"

Not thrilled to see how Vegas life works out for other young players in the future

Chargers should have gotten Vegas, Raiders should have gotten LA and it will always be dumb

There was no way Kroenke was going to let the Raiders take over his building

I'm not trying to be lovely but come on. People dont drink and drive late at night anywhere but Vegas? We had news just this week of an NFL player getting arrested for drinking and driving late at night. Rich people with fancy cars do stupid poo poo all the time regardless of where they are.

I'm fine with being wrong about the Raiders moving to Vegas working out "really well" but Henry Ruggs driving drunk isnt one of the reasons why.

Hell I might even say you're less likely to drink and drive in Las Vegas if you consider the available sources for alternate forms of transportation combined with the traffic gridlock and walkability.

Right, the NFL's political reasoning behind it doesn't make it any less stupid than the teams also not being in their original cities because the public has to foot the bill on stadium funding

When it comes to drunk driving, the numbers speak for themselves. Las Vegas, Nevada, holds the unenviable title of having the highest DUI arrest rate in the United States.Nov 22, 2023



edit: although you could argue I suppose that Las Vegas does not make an individual more likely to drink and drive but rather the sheer number of drunk people raises the total number of instances up? I suppose you'd need percentages of DUIs per drunk people and frankly I leave advance stats to others.

something something expected DUIs

Agreed.

It's kinda why I never had a big problem with the Rams moving back to LA, because they had like 50 years in LA before the St Louis move.

The Raiders should be in Oakland and the Chargers should be in San Diego but c'est la vie

I don't mind the Raiders being nomadic, but there is something seriously off about them playing in a dome. The Chargers too. Raiders-Chargers games used to be muddy, gritty affairs, and now they're in these billion dollar sterile domes.

Their main problem is their talent is old af. A lot of their core is now in their 30s and even someone like demario Davis who is still good, is over 35 years old. How do you restructure that contract out when dude may/should retire this year?

Spread that over a whole team and you have a future that is subpar at best and disastrous at worst.

Based on how they acted in FA this year, they very likely try and bear a lot of the pain in 2024 and give a free year to their new coach in 2025 and then start mostly fresh in 2026 with a reloaded deck.

My best friend (Broncos fan) and I went to every Broncos at Chargers game from 2002 to 2016. I think we saw every kind of game you can think of, from blowouts to come from behind wins to clear skies to downpours. We saw the Brees injury game, the Tomlinson setting the TD record game, the Msnning comeback on MNF game.

Gambling lines are not predictive. Instead they're made up of a balance of what gamblers will put money on.

Bears at +4000 means that there's a lot of people from Chicago dropping dollars on that bet. This moves the line.

Conversely, absolutely no one is betting on the panthers to make it. Instead, everyone is betting on the panthers to not make it. So the oddsmakers have to shift that line far out to ensure they have roughly 50/50 on each side of the bet. If the panthers start winning this season, that line will shift left, but we all know that isn't going to happen.

Oh I know, that's why I'm saying gambling is stupid. Well, gamblers are stupid I guess is what I'm saying.

How many Championships?

They have about 3 contracts left they can mess with this year. Kamara ($8m), Taysom ($8m), Juwan Johnson ($3m). They're about $8m under the cap now and can free up about $19m with those restructures. But that's about it, basically every other non rookie or minimum contact has already been restructured.

In 2025 they're about 73m over as of now but they have a bunch more contacts they can restructure. I'm not sure how it ends but it's going to take more than a couple years to fix this. The contacts might expire but the can is still there from being kicked so many times. Even worse, they lack premium draft picks this year to help get young cheap talent.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Eagles almost certainly weren’t going to pay what Reddick’s new extension demanded.

Still, though, a 2026 conditional third rounder? That’s a fleecing.
