I'm happy Vegas has a team but I long for the days when no city steps up and gives the NFL and their owners public funds for stadiums.

I think I saw where since 1980 NFL teams have moved ten times and the other leagues had like a combined five

Oh and $6.7b in public funds have been used on NFL stadiums the last 20yrs

Rome

50% of the billionaires who own NFL franchises have received public handouts for new stadiums. 

They're worse than any welfare queens I've ever heard of.

why pony up 750 mil when its going to be given to you

the game is out there
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

So, Vegas is official? I've been practicing not watching any news lately.

Owners approved them to move but I don't think there's actually a done deal between the Raiders & Vegas yet. And I think they're looking at 2 years minimum to move anyway.

Ok.

Out of curiosity, was it a unanimous vote or did the Rams vote against the move?

dolphins cause their gazillionaire owner was butthurt about the fact that he couldn't get public funding for his stadium and had to pay out of pocket and doesn't see why a welfare baby like Mark Davis does.

Side note:  It really can't be stated enough just how unsightly Mark Davis is.  He is one of the absolute ugliest motherfargers I've ever seen and his Lloyd Christmas haircut makes me want to murderdeathkill his barber.

Romo is retiring and going to CBS

QB Eagles

I'm not seeing the CBS part confirmed anywhere. If he replaces Simms this is the best move of the offseason.

Also good for Romo. I was fascinated to see how much he had left in the tank, but continuing to play clearly would have been idiotic from a health standpoint.

Tomahawk

Fox needs to get him so we can have a Romo/Aikmen duo

Rome

That would probably be just the incentive I need to gouge my ears out permanently.

Hallelujah he's replacing Simms
