When asked about the possibility of moving the Rams to LA when he purchased the rest of the team Stan Kroenke said......

Well, we all know what the honorable one said. So I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in what Davis says right now. If that's the best, maybe only option besides selling he could very well think differently. Who's going to buy the Raiders now, with a crumbling stadium, no hope of a new one in Oakland and Carson deal that's still behind Inglewood? I'd say everything's on the table for Davis right now, just to SURVIVE and stay an owner.

If the NFL wants to start the global expansion, why isnt Canada a destination? They obviously embrace the sport

Only downside can see is the two most likely cities already have franchises very close to them.

Toronto with the Bills and Vancouver with the SeaBitches.

There has been a lot of talk about the Bills possibly going to Toronto before the sale. Outside of that I wonder if the CFL would try and keep them out.

I agree, I just don't want any animosity from the fans abroad because we had to switch divisions.

I don't want that either, but some would rather us lose a team than change a conference. That's kinda cold too.

I saw this photo and it just made me laugh.

Stan is just getting ready to lap Spanos and Davis but they don't realize it.

He also said he's not selling, so we're both 1-1.

i never said he would sell

I must be losing track on who's saying what, I could have sworn you talked about Peacock becoming an owner.

Nope - I know Moosestache has.

lol I've never insinuated anyone trading ownerships, someone buying/selling, at most i've said about peacock's comment about kroenke not being an owner is curious

Davis won't sell the majority stake but open for another minority partner

Does he really have to pay inheritance tax like was mentioned before? That's what did in our former owners IIRC.

Al Davis took care of it before he died.

Does Oakland even have any businesses that can do that?

It's talking about the Bay Area so there are plenty of companies that could.

That's a good point, I wonder if he ever thought about reaching out to Google or anything like that? Talk about landing a heavy hitter, would be huge for the Raiders.
