Raiders owner thinking of moving to San Antonio

The talk of moving NFL teams irks the crap out of me. The Raiders have slipped a ton since the days of Stabler/Lamonica/Blanda. I loved the KC-Oakland rivalry when I was a kid, it was as good as Cle-Pitt. I remember the Raiders derailing the queer Dolphins in a playoff game, basically ending a few seasons of Miami dominance.Stabler heaved an underhand pass into the endzone in the last seconds, and an Oakland running back caught it- it was Weeden-esque, but worked out.
Goodell should encourage these owners to stay put. It seems the only franchise that is having fan base problems is Jacksonville, but that doesn't mean they need to relocate either.

Not sure why the big outcry about the tax status of various states. The big chunk of taxes on these guys comes from the Feds, not the state, which is miniscule in comparison.
And any state that doesn't charge an income tax? Where do you think they get their revenue from? Tax on liguor? Hardly.
I know that is some of these states the real estate taxes are triple what a non income tax state pays. And licensing fees? Example, in Ohio, you have to pay like $54.00 to renew your vehicle license plate each year. In some states that would be 10 times as much. (I know that is the case in South Carolina where my father in law owned a car).
Besides, while Oakland proper may not be very good, the rest of the East Bay area is still some pretty prime real estate....with a lot of people with a lot of nice homes etc.
Talking about state tax, not fed. Nissan just left for Texas. Read up magistrate. Fuck Californication.

Yes, I was talking about state taxes, which are miniscule compared to what the Feds take......
And fyi, these companies like Nissan will jump around to anyplace where they can save a few pennies.
.....and that has nothing to do with the income tax rates that are placed on their employees. It all has to do with tax incentives, union labor etc.

Dream sheet: anywhere but Norfolk.
Got sent to Norfolk.
Loved it anyway. Navy towns are good.

had a friend from ft. devens get transferred down there. visited her and her husband down in norfolk for a weekend before moving to AZ. went to VA beach (wasn't impressed). funniest thing happened at some dive bar in the back woods outside of norfolk and 2 drunks started a fight out in the dirt parking lot. one of them ripped off the downspout of the bar's gutter system. hilarious seeing this dude swing around this hollow sheet metal piece of tubing, like what would happened if he hit someone, it would bend right?

If the Raiders were to go there, what should they be called? Still The Raiders, or a new name.
USFL had Gunslingers.
They could just translate the name of that team up north of them and be the Vaqueros or the Gauchos.
The San Antonio Slurs.
The San Antonio Stirrups
The San Antonio Commandos
The Chicos

lol...
SA was one of the top USFL cities... loved their Gunslingers led by Jim Kelly. They have an outdated, yet ready for move-in, domed stadium that'd do until a new one was built. Still a geographic fit for the AFCW.
It'd be a great choice... but I'd hate for Oakland to lose the Raiders... again.
Jim Kelly played for the Houston Gamblers, not the Gunslingers . (and fyi, the NFL would probably not now allow that name to be used....hell the "Bullets" had the change their name)
But....good point.....would they still stay the Raiders? Or change name.
The point about the color scheme is right though...it would match the Spurs.

Yup... major brainfart por moi...
SA's QB was Neuhisel (sp?)...

No man, I said I was home ported in San Diego. I did like going to Chargers games, and Padres. But San Diego is not indicative of CA liberal homo's like Piglosi, etc. Was a grunt in the Army and a Squid in the Navy. Got it? Okay.
No man, I said I was home ported in San Diego.
Is that what they call it these days? Not that there's anything wrong with being home ported.....
