    It always makes me weirdly sad to hear about this kind of thing. My hometown only has one team of note and the Spurs are never leaving. I don’t even know what the proper grieving process is.

    And I’ll be a little sentimental about this given that I was a Raiders fan for about 3 hours when I lived in Oakland and sat through one of the worst Super Bowls I’ve ever seen (that’s not actually an impressive stat since I’ve seen less than 5 Super Bowl games).

      I really wanted to see the Raiders move to San Antonio. I wanted Red McCombs to buy the team. I wanted this to happen with all of my heart.

      This pulls at my heartstrings. On one level, I like that all of San Antonio’s love is poured into this one awesome team. It’s beautiful. On the other hand, I have a rage stroke every time I pass by the lonely Alamodome for how it displaced people on the east side and barely did a damn thing for them. I might be assuaged if they put it to good use.

    This move will end up like a bad gangster movie, players will be gambling their millions away. Going to the games will be like going to boxing matches.

    The arena will be air conditioned with neon signs and slot machines all over the place, including bathrooms. High rollers will be walking around the sidelines with beautiful women on their arms. Guys in shiny suits and sunglasses will be giving players and coaches advice and tips for covering the spread.

    One advantage that this team will have is the caliber for women trying out the cheerleaders, considering all of the showgirls and exotic dancers. TV cameras will be trained on them.

      Sorry, homie- that’s a negative. I’m from Oakland and spend time in Vegas every few months because my brother works at the Air Force base. The desert is the desert, and dry Nevada skin is rampant. Showgirls are generally selected for distant, shadowy aesthetics; long legs, propped up boobs, flexible wigs and such. I met a super popular showgirl in Vegas and was surprised to find out she has crossed eyes! If we need head shots, you might want them to visit the motherland for talent. Oakland women are way cuter.

      I’m not saying I’m pretty because I’m from Oakland. Okay, nevermind. I’m saying it. Lol.

    See, I look on this as a positive thing. Having gambling and hookers legally and locally available means they’ll be able to save all those hours driving from Oakland to Mound House and do some extra training instead!

    BTW…

    The over/under on the first arrest is two weeks after the move, but that might be a little optimistic.

    I’ll put $50 on two days!

      Sure, Oakland has card clubs and cheap, plentiful, high-quality weed, but Vegas has whores, too!

      Whores! Right there!

      not yet. GSW is still there (for the time being). they have the A’s and if they’re not too lazy they can catch public transportation to see the 49ers, GSW (after the move), San Jose Earthquakes and w/e NHL team exists there (I’m black).

      Manhattan doesn’t have a NFL team!

      See I just chose to believe this was a joke about the A’s not being a pro team.

    On the bright side, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so if any players knock their fiances out in elevators, that tape stays with the Casino as betting collateral and the NFL doesn’t have to scramble around pretending it cares about domestic abuse.

    Im not sure it will be a disaster, players have to exist in exciting cities like NY, Miami, LA, and do so without much problem. Vegas does offer far more vice than any of those, but the types of incidents players already get into wont be magnified by Vegas, if anything it will be underplayed by casino types interested in keeping discretions hush hush.
