Just spoke to Mark Davis outside the presser. He sounds like a man who has no intention of keeping the @RAIDERS in #Oakland. @CBSSF

STL Raiders

Is owning a sports team considered a sound investment? I always thought it was a frivolous, luxurious, egotistical type of thing.

Depends on the league and/or the team.

NFL team? Yes. Prints money, and will continue to print money for the foreseeable future.

 

[BlackGhost]

So Hue wants the Giants job and Cleveland is his fallback? Browns need to pull their offer if he takes the Giants interview. They won't stop being second class until they stop letting the league treat them as such

This sounds like your opinion on the situation ?

Does Cleveland have an actual offer on the table?

Not that anyone knows of

the only option he legitimately has is the Chargers taking the deal and then he begs San Diego for a stadium because Oakland is broke

So do you.

Depends on the sport/team. The NFL is a cash cow

 

[ampere]

Dat Presidential stress.

Right. The question was sort of rhetorical in that sense. Unless there's any evidence of an offer..Cleveland has very little to do but wait.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Mark Davis is asked if the #Raiders will definitively be in Oakland this year. He says, "No." Raiders don't have a lease at the Coliseum.

Guess he could jump to San Antonio and play at the Alamo dome temporarily

I mean I still wonder why he is giving up a home game next season to play vs the Texans in Mexico

Except he doesn't have a relocation permit he can't move the team

 

[CrocMother]

Right now, but as a long term investment it seems terribly risky.

 

[squicken]

Well of course who knows? But CLE let Chip play them last time. Seems like Hue would take the Cleveland job, but wants to see if the Giants offer him a better deal

 

[Godslay]

I am pretty sure the Bowlen family cares strongly about Denver and the team. They will keep it. So, yeah, f Kroenke having the Broncos.

Kroenke did open his wallet big time for the Avs though before the salary cap era. He will pay to win which is nice if it is your team.

Yeah, he was part of the Colorado Crush with Elway and Bowlen. So there is some potential life to the rumors.

I'd rather him stay out, and one of the kids take over. Johnny Bowlen is the guy supposedly, but the sister is the brains of the family. I don't know how much of that is just rumors though. Either way, I hope one of them is good.

Maybe he'll take San Antonio up on that offer.

Jerry bought the Cowboys for $140m in 1989 and the team is now worth $3b, and has had positive cash flow the whole time. Seems like a really really really good investment to me

True, but the Cowboys are not the Buffalo Bills either

No idea, but. Are they going to keep Bowlen as the owner until he dies? I mean my grandpa had alzheimer's recently and died a few years back. It seems strange to me if he technically would own the team during the late stages of the disease. I mean, the person is hardly a person at that point from my experience.

You read up on this?

 

[Angry Grimace]

Guys

why do you think they just had a vote that took 2 years

you can't just move the team to San Antonio because you feel like it

 

[Godslay]

Dat Presidential stress.

Obama actually died about 2 years into his presidency.

They replaced him with a double, and Biden had been running the show. This was all fine and well until his double decided to balance the budget during a meeting on a whim. It was impressive from what I could gather and Biden was pretty upset.

We need to send you somewhere other than here.

I do not want Johnny Bowlen as the man in charge. He went to my high school. Not impressed.

I got this reference too Slay.

Dave was a pretty good movie.

 

[RBH]

Despite all the talk of Davis considering all options, odds of Raiders playing next year in Oakland/Bay Area pretty high.

Elway will buy the Broncos and we will live in a never ending Orange and blue sunset.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Yeah Coughlin has done great with both the Jags and the Giants I just worry about his age. The Giants beat guy that was on BGN radio said the Giants felt he was still a great coach Monday through Saturday, but that he had definitely lost something on Sundays. That really worries me because the situation in Philly isnt anywhere near as good as in NY. There he had Eli, here we have no idea who the QB would be. I like that this seems like a very un-Lurie type move.

Has a coach ever switched to an in-division rival before? I mean, I can't even fathom John Harbaugh ever taking over the Steelers. Like, he would be booed out of Pittsburgh. Same with Tomlin to Baltimore.

I just think TC ought to have shut the door on this immediately. Why even take the interview? I get that he's salty, but damn, that's just ... wrong.

 

[MechDX]

It's a family trust right now.

So either they are going to have to sell it or someone in the family will have to step up and become the owner. What I've gathered is just bits and pieces of info here and there.

Everything points to Johnny being a mega douche, but I don't know. I saw him at the game I went to and he was pretty friendly with the players and seemed fine. That's just outward appearances though.

Panic probably knows better than I do what he's like.

The other brother (Patrick III) and sister (Brittany) work for the Broncos as a facilities coor., and a business analyst. Brittany is supposedly pretty savvy, so if true it would be cool to see her take over.

There is another daughter Christiana, but I don't think she's involved at all.

It will be interesting to see who lands it, but I think Johnny is the frontrunner good or bad.

We scoff.. But The man walked out with 100 million when he came in with nothing.

Pretty impressive and I wouldn't be surprised if he finds a way.

 

[Starphoenix]

I'd be conflicted on the Raiders moving to SA. After years of wanting to see SA get another major sports team, I'd hate for it to be the Raiders of all teams... At least they'd keep the black and silver motif with the Spurs.

 

[Vyer]

In my Madden season the Raiders moved to Mexico City and became the Conquistadors.

food for thought, Mark Davis

Rex went from the Jets to the Bills

Hmm. Good point.

Edit - although everyone is so focused on hating the Pats that I'm not sure they haven't stopped hating each other

If it dosent happen it dosent happen. We interviewed a good amount of guys, only 1 really took a HC offer as of now. And i know there's other guys they like. I'd personally like Hue though. Don't really think it's a situation were we're left looking like fools.

 

[Godslay]

Elway will buy the Broncos and we will live in a never ending Orange and blue sunset.

I wish, if he only had the money.

If I win the Powerball, I'll loan him some dough.

Uncle Bob getting really chatty about drafting a QB. twice he has mentioned in an interview in the past month

With how NFL thinks and logistics work, would be an upset if the Los Angeles Rams didn't open 2016 season at home on Monday Night Football.

If you could go back would you take Clowney or a Qb 1st pick?

I was fine with Clowney, but thought the Texans would make a bigger effort to trade back up into rd1 and take a guy.
