Football Thread

I heard that the Raiders are leaving Oakland and moving back to Los Angeles. So I don't think it would make sense for the Rams to leave if the Raiders are moving and I know the St Louis fans would be mad.

The Raiders shouldn't be in the NFL. Also:

Mike Shanahan interviews with Oakland Raiders lol

Shanahan spent most of his career with the Denver Broncos taking shots at the Raiders, who fired him just four games into the 1989 season, his second as their coach. And Shanahan spent a lot of time beating the Raiders too. He went 21-7 with the Broncos and enjoyed every win. It wasn't too hard to get him to take a sideways shot at late-Raiders owner Al Davis leading up to those games. Shanahan for years claimed Davis owed him $250,000 from his contract. The Raiders claimed Shanahan actually owed them money. If Shanahan and Davis really liked each other behind the scenes, they put on one heck of a show for the media for a couple decades.

There's a story that Shanahan ordered 49ers quarterback Elvis Grbac to throw a ball at Davis' head during pre-game warmups when Shanahan was San Francisco's offensive coordinator, and Grbac just missed him. Or, it was Steve Young who threw it and he hit Davis in the leg. Either way.

Not only had the Raiders and Shanahan seemingly burned the bridge between them, they took the ashes, put them in a can and blew those up. Or, maybe not. Shanahan, out of work since being fired by the Washington Redskins after the 2013 season, is interviewing with Oakland

What gives the Raiders the rights to move back to L.A over the Rams?

Why not?

That's a good question because the Raiders started in Oakland. I don't know why they left Los Angeles because the LA residents seemed to be better fans than Oakland residents. LA residents definitely supported them because they were wearing their sports gear. I remember when rappers NWA wore their sports gear like caps and t-shirts. I liked the LA Raiders when they had Bo Jackson and Art Shell as the coach. Who was the LA Raiders running back before Bo Jackson came there? I think his first name was Marcus but I can't remember his last name.

Marcus Allen, only one of the best RB's to play in the NFL.

Alright thanks. He retired with Kansas City I remember. I wish Bo Jackson had only played football because he was very good. It sucks he had to quit early because of a injury.

Before he got injured he was going to retire from football, and only play baseball.

That sucks he only wanted to play baseball because I think he was better at football. I feel the same way about Deion Sanders. I don't know why he played baseball.

If I was him I would have played football over baseball, because he was a better football player than a baseball player, but maybe he wanted to play baseball over football, because the risk of injury is higher in football than baseball, and also the pay is better in baseball.

It's too bad he got injured in a time when a hip injury was a career ender.

Do you think he will have a decent career? Turn out to be a draft bust? Or will head back to jail?

LOL@Check Two said Jerry Jones gave the refs some money hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Detroit should've won the game because the refs should've called pass interference on that defender for Dallas that was all over the wide receiver for Detroit. If Detroit would've won, they might've lost to Green Bay. I was surprised Detroit scored 20 points because I didn't think their offense was that good.

Kurt Warner to train Colin Kapernick to be a better QB:
