Re: NFL Football
I read today the Raiders are figuring on slinking back to Oakland even though the city is suing them. A big difference from back when I was out in the Bay Area in the late 70's when the Raiders were riding high. Sigh. Ken Stabler Lester Hayes Fred Biletnikoff Mark van Eeghen Ted Hendricks ahhh, the good old days. And Madden was the coach.

Raiders reportedly negotiating to return to Oakland for 2019 season, despite opposition
This comes just months after Oakland filed an antitrust lawsuit against the team
... According to NBC Bay Area's Raj Mathai, City Council President Rebecca Kaplan said that "if the Raiders wanted to offer us a huge increased lease payment -- much more than we previously discussed -- in exchange for dropping the lawsuit, we might be willing to consider it."

Wow.
So many wingnuts, so little time.

Re: NFL Football
Well, that don't sound like a welcome. If they had guys like those I noted earlier, it would be a win win but it not gonna happenVrede too wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:38 pmneoplacebo wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:17 pmI read today the Raiders are figuring on slinking back to Oakland even though the city is suing them.

Re: NFL Football
I wonder if they would even let Blanda play in the current NFL. He did have that deformed foot that could be construed as an advantage. But then again he could claim discrimination. It would be a real quandary that Fox News would be uncertain about.....they'd probably wait until somebody make a sexual faux pas. Fuck that.

George Blanda, placekicker and QB. My Mom, just 4 years younger than him, loved and was inspired by Blanda.
Are you thinking of Tom Dempsey?

Re: NFL Football
Bob Costas says he was removed from Super Bowl broadcast due to comments on concussions, CTE in NFL
Yeah, I still watch, but I don't give any money to the NFL or college ball in any way.
