Fred Jones Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Is being in Oakland that bad? Maybe they should first focus on improving the play of their team and worry about moving after that is accomplished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckus Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 They should put if halfway between SA and Austin. 25 mins from each downtown. The fan base would be massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It would actually be a good move, San Antonio is a great sports town Oakland is not the long term answer we all know this. And I think if a team is going to be successful in LA it needs to be an organic, from scratch expansion where they get to pick the mascot, venue, owner, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Wow would be all I can and could say I say move them, nobody outside of San Fran area cares about their team in CA. Look at the Raiders move from LA to Oakland, Rams move from LA to STL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Is being in Oakland that bad? Maybe they should first focus on improving the play of their team and worry about moving after that is accomplished. That stadium is pretty ridiculous. However, I'ver never completely understood what exactly Al Davis (and now his son) want. They've been fighting for a new stadium seemingly since the 70s, have had multiple cities in the mix, and are still sharing a dump with the A's. It seems like they could have this problem solved 20 years ago if they wanted to. Jones and Kraft are already in a defensive posture. They don't want a new NFL team in Texas.

pjfootballer Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 My preference is the Raiders stay in Oakland. Rams move back to LA and the Jags go to St. Louis. Kahn is from southern Illinois, close to St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Wow. That is not the franchise I pictured relocating first. I could always see them going to LA again. The San Antonio Raiders. Wonder if they'd change it to the San Antonio Riders? Talk about a range in the athletes in the town though. The Spurs are the NBA's most clean cut team My preference is the Raiders stay in Oakland. Rams move back to LA and the Jags go to St. Louis. Kahn is from southern Illinois, close to St. Louis. moving the Jags to LA moves only one team It would actually be a good move, San Antonio is a great sports town Oakland is not the long term answer we all know this. And I think if a team is going to be successful in LA it needs to be an organic, from scratch expansion where they get to pick the mascot, venue, owner, etc. I doubt the NFL is looking to expand right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Well, I don't remember him freaking out too much when Houston got a team awhile ago. An expansion team in Houston (Still Oilers country IMO) is way different than a 3x Super Bowl team moving in. The Raiders still have a huge cult following despite not having a winning season since 2002, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 For some reason, I was thinking that LA would be in the mix for a NFL franchise again. They still can be. Oakland moves to San Antonio, probably takes on a new name after a season or two or maybe right away, and then LA gets a new team and it's the Raiders. Kind of like Browns moving to Baltimore and then a new team re-starting the Browns. Same with Oilers moving to TN, and now you have another Houston team, though they went further back and took Texans name. In fact, not having an Oakland team could very possibly make LA an even more attractive location for a new team or if a team like Jacksonville relocates, especially if they can become the Raiders and recapture that fanbase as well as LA folk.

pjfootballer Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 moving the Jags to LA moves only one team I never said move the Jags to LA. I'd send the Rams back to LA and the Jags to St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Bob Mcnair already said he would support a move. Jerry can live with it. Texas is big enough for 3 NFL teams. The Raiders name will go away and Mark Davis will not retire that name or let someone else have it. The NFL probably will be all in favor of this move because they don't want the Raiders to be the team moving back to L.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger.Staubach Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have always been of the belief that the people of L.A. just don't care if they have a football team. Now, never did I imagine that San Antonio would be an option. But if it works....do it. Better than Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 How in the world can a grown ass man think that hair style is good? He looks like a child. He probably played the ginger kid, Sam on Different Strokes when Mr. Drummond remarried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
