    No, that was Woltz, the movie mogul.

    "Johnny Fontane never gets that role!"

    Geary was the guy who tried to strong arm Michael when he moved to Vegas.

Even if the Terds went to San Antonio and it was Jags who came to SD, or even if no other team came to SD, wouldn't it be in Kroenke's interests to dump Spanos as soon as he can, or as soon as he can afford to (if he faced some kind of lawsuit, league sanctions)? I just wonder what the penalty is that would prevent him from dumping Spanos ASAFP going forward so he can have it all to himself.

    And the topper, Al Davis's devil spawn saves the San Diego Chargers!!
    What would happen to the LA Span-terds though? Since a turd by any other name stinks as sweet, they'd probably become the popular team in town. Would Kroenke be cool with that, or could he boot out his tenant even if he had to pay a fine (which would probably be in his best interest in that scenario)?

    Yep. Spanos is no different than any other owner, they are all goons and greedy AF.

    In the last 20 years, 29 teams have received public funding for stadiums. With everyone already proclaiming how cheap Spanos is, and that he is the least rich owner. I am not quite sure why anyone thought Spanos was ever going to pay for it himself. And in all honesty, there is no motivation for Owners to build there own stadiums as long as other cities are willing to fund stadiums.

    Spanos was never going to be the one owner to break that tradition. I don't see the motivation for them to pay for it themselves.

    And it is absolutely despicable. NFL and owners have enough money to build stadiums on their own. Fans and cities should not have to pay for it. But unfortunately that is the current business model - almost any other owner would have done the same in Spanos shoes.
    Thats why I said... "Fuck them all with a cattle prod..."

    In my mind there is no difference among them, fuck'em all with a cattle prod.

    You're just being small minded. Can't get out of the small city mindset. Oh, but the library, what a waste.

    "Ronnie Lott, the leader of an investment group keen on keeping the Raiders in the East Bay, tweeted Monday that he remains devoted to gathering funds for the construction of a $1.25 billion, 55,000-seat seat stadium in Oakland."

    Lott plans will fail as well because Davis would have to split earnings with the investment group.

    If Sachs won't do it in Vegas, they won't do it in Oakland either.

    The NFL should have let Oakland go to la and San Diego stay here.
