What I don't understand is how they plan on staying in Oakland for 2 years in the meantime.  Huh?  How could those people support them for two more years.

ticket prices have gone up also (between 20 and 80% depending on where you're sitting). The one downfall of finishing with a 12-4 record.

Raiders fan base is kinda weird(shocking statement I know) and they really seem to be of the Raider Nation philosophy. Most are Raider fans. Not Oakland Raider fans or LA Raider fans, just Raider fans. The outrage in STL and SD was 100x greater.

It's only one report from a radio guy that works in Oakland but I'm hearing that it's not sitting well at all.

I assume that even Raiders are human beings but maybe not.  Honey I am filling for divorce but will still live with you until my new spouse is ready in a new mansion?  Fug no!!!!

They should go to San Antonio for two years then.  The logistics may make little sense, but better than despicably staying with a market you've just $hat on.

I'm from Vegas so I can say that we only have one realistic temporary venue where we could host the Raiders and it's a bit of a dump. Of course, if the Chargers are really going to play at Stub Hub next season, anything is possible.

Wow, the next 2 season in Oakland are going to be extremely awkward. 

Surprised the Raiders didn't decide to play at UNLV's stadium, it has 10k more seats than the Stadium the Chargers are playing in next year. 

Visiting teams are going to have fun enforcing curfew in Vegas....

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
