    Las Vegas Raiders

    The Raiders have filed trademark applications for "Las Vegas Raiders" at the US Patent & Trademark Office.

    I think it's a good bet that this happens.

    $750 million from the government for a billionaire and a millionaire to build a stadium. Unbelievable.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Vegas is stupid enough to build them a stadium.

    If you've watched ray Donovan, a great show, you know how this will go down already.

    In the good old days, The Mafia would have built the stadium.

    would the tax payers pay for the stadium, or would the casinos and tourists?

    750 is nothing for the casino folks, and the tourists are already there to throw away their money

    and the team would have repaid them by throwing a few games, shaving a few points, etc.

    Pretty sure, like the NFL, the mafia never put up most of the money itself.

    There it is. NFL = mafia, only with duller characters running the show these days.

    I miss Pete Rozelle. DeNiro could play him.
