I really can't understand why everyone has been so adverse to sports teams in Vegas before.
Gambling is everywhere. Is there a genuine fear that a "gangster" is going to try and fix a game?

Works for me. Vegas is only a 6 hour drive. Oakland is 11 1/2 hours.

I read that they will play two more seasons in Oakland. Would you pay all that money to watch a team that's abandoning your city? I damn sure wouldn't.

And how pissed are the fans that as soon as the team becomes competitive, they are leaving

Got a bad feeling that once Brees and Benson are gone then the Saints will be the next team to move

I think when/if Benson's grandkids get a hold of the team, that's exactly what happens. Although, there now being 2 teams in L.A. kind of takes a little wind out of that sail.
