Hi Tom...Have not heard one word of drama from Boys' camp. Everything OK down there?
I think so. Mets are actually in first, so I've been neglecting the Boys camp a bit. I recall a story a week ago about Dak tweaking something, not much since. At least they're staying off the police voter. Hope you're doing well, Keith! T
All I know is the sports talk shows here are saying the Bills are threatening to move to Austin. They say that both Jerry and Tom say "over my dead body".
They need to go to Portland, or Oakland, Toronto, San Diego, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Louisville.... and oh yeah, San Antonio.
I fear that you may be right. Mets struggle against fair to middling teams and on the road. Not exactly a recipe for playoffs success...T
OK. So, they're keeping the lawlessness under check until the 10th. I think one of the requirements to be on Hard Knocks is to not have been in playoffs the year before, no? T
Perfect. They suck for a quarter of a century, finally get good and now suddenly their stadium is no good?!? [emoji848] Gotta love billionaire owners! [emoji2] T
LA still loves the Raiders. LA has 2 NFL teams but there's still demand for Raiders merchandise sold there market. Probably outsells the Rams and for sure the Chargers I drive around in my LV Raiders hat in LA and get a lot of thumbs up and questions about the new stadium.
A team is exempt from the show if any of the three rules below applies to them: They have a first-year head coach in place They have a playoff berth in the past two seasons They have appeared on "Hard Knocks" in the past 10 years Eligible for 2021: The Broncos, Cardinals, Cowboys, Giants and Panthers. Billionaires become billionaires by getting OTHER people to spend money. The chances of getting a taxpayer-funded stadium are NIL, unless MAYBE you are in Green Bay.
Raiders game at Allegiant Stadium most expensive preseason resale ticket https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/stadium/raiders-game-at-allegiant-stadium-most-expensive-preseason-resale-ticket-2417317/ Although it’s only a preseason game, fans appear eager to finally see the Raiders in action inside Allegiant Stadium. The Silver and Black’s game versus the Seattle Seahawks represents the first game planned with fans in the building and has an average purchase price of $267.88 on TickPick’s site, the ticket reselling market announced Tuesday. That is good enough to be the most expensive NFL preseason resell ticket on record, according to TickPick. That price is 170 percent higher than the second-most expensive Week 1 preseason ticket of $99.45 for the New England Patriots against the Washington Football Team. The Raiders played their entire inaugural NFL season in Las Vegas at the $2 billion Allegiant Stadium sans fans. The fanbase’s excitement to get inside the stadium was evident Sunday, when season ticker holders were allowed in to watch the team practice. Team officials estimate about 20,000 people attended the invite-only event. The lowest priced ticket on TickPick to get into Saturday’s game at Allegiant Stadium is $108, which is more expensive than the cheapest ticket to get in half of the Week 1 regular season NFL games, according to TickPick. In addition to the most expensive average purchase price, the Raiders also own the second highest purchase price for a game, with their Aug. 29 game versus the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium. The Raiders are also among the top selling regular season games on the secondary ticket market. “Based on the significant demand we have seen for Raiders regular season games this year, it comes as little surprise that the Raiders vs. Seahawks Week 1 Preseason game is the most expensive preseason game on record,” said Kyle Zorn, TickPick’s marketing strategist. “This is the Raiders only home preseason game this year, so it’s the one chance for fans to get tickets at a lower price compared to regular season tickets, which are averaging $750.”
Having to take small loans out to see any live sporting event is just more reason to stay home. Since you're in vegas you have a better opportunity to turn that several hundred dollars into a thousand.
I agree, but almost certainly the average price is artificially high. You have casinos buying tickets to comp highrollers, and with all the conventions there are vendors/exhibitors providing tickets to their customers.
Pre-season Raiders vs LA Rams at Sofi LA. I swear there were more Raiders fans in the stands by far than Rams fans.
That's not a surprise is it? Mark my words, unless Rams become perennial Super Bowl contenders, the bloom will be off this rose quickly and their owner will be looking elsewhere. T
OK Boys. Cancel whatever plans you made for this evening. Eagles- Jets preseason and both teams aren't even dressing most of their first stringers. Now this is going to be professional football at the highest level.
Doesn't a team need 100% approval from ALL the owners to move? LOL, I first read this and saw 'first strangers'....... which may be appropriate.
Whiskey...game ended in 31 -31 tie. Start was delayed about an hour due to weather, most of us were hoping for a cancellation
