Mark Davis is VERY different form his dad. Al was formidable. Mark is not.
I hate the Raiders and I hated Al, but Al was a big part of why the leaguie exists as it does today.
Mark is a joke.

Did we really need another team in California? Texas has 2, California has 3. A joint move would even it up at 3 apiece.

Al WAS a big part of why the league exists.........in the 60's and 70's. He spent the last years of his life being a pain in the ass suing everyone and everything inside and out of the league.
That's what I'm talking about.

But, obviously Oakland would have to want to work with them for a stadium.
The city of San Antonio seemed to be working hard to get a team - and Mark Davis seems kinda soft, so I could see them luring him there pretty easily if Oakland doesn't work with him.
Though, he will probably wait to see what Spanos does and take up as a tenant in Inglewood if Spanos decides to stay in San Diego.

He was...but even at the end Al was 10 times more formidable than his son ever will be.

You guys have turned this into a "which Davis was better" argument, and I'm not saying that Mark is the same as Al.
I'm saying this is EXACTLY what Al would have done when he didn't get his way..............threaten to move and sue.

Inglewood for the Raiders and the Chargers staying would mean three NFL teams in two hours of each other in a region that has barely ever been even able to support one NFL team.
As for Oakland, they've already stood in front of the gun, and it shot a blank, there's no way they'll be dumb enough to start ponying up public funds now. The issue is that a) Oakland's not dumb enough to build the Raiders a stadium, b) Davis doesn't have enough money to build himself a stadium, and C) the NFL won't even put up the money for it as a loan because they know the thing that only a few rubes haven't caught onto yet: It's not simply worth the financial investment to build shiny new football stadiums in replace of perfectly functional existing football stadiums.

Davis is going to be forced to sell off a rather large portion of the Raiders to someone with deep pockets that can help fund a stadium build or move.
