NFL: 2024-25 NFL News, Notes, Other Probably Dumb Stuff and the Like (Bryce Young starting again)

Plus their issues with tickets.

Houston got 2004 and 2017. From 2028 working backwards.
Atl, SF, LA, AZ, NO will have hosted 2 since Dallas hosted. Wonder if Texas is still going to be in the loop from 2029 to 2035?

Atlanta
LA
SF
NO
LV
AZ
LA
TB
Miami

I'm guessing there's basically no chance Detroit ever hosts it again?

 

[Spring in Fialta]

This team needs a better OC, Telesco and Pierce are fine, just need better football decisions on personnel. They need to draft a QB this draft. Brady didn't invest his time in the Raiders just to make money, he wants to win football games.

Brady owns 5%. Is he really going to be heavily involved in the Raiders' football operations when he's got a 10-year contract has a broadcaster and other engagements?

Min, Indy, Det were awarded a SB due to their cities contributing to a new stadium. They are not getting another SB. It's a one time thank you to give the city a one time boon on tourism for SB weekend.

It does seem like the NFL is preferring LA, SF, LV, AZ, Mia, NO and their main 6, with ATL (they have some bad weather at times in mid Feb.) with Ten likely to be part of the mix when their new stadium opens.

I do wonder if the 2 Texas stadiums are going down further on the list moving forward. Dallas, will be 17 years at least for them. Houston, LA will have hosted twice since they last hosted, and SF who hosted the year before Houston did last time, is getting another one.

If this is a way to oust that stank ass Mark Davis, so be it

 

[GKJ]

The experience in Dallas must be much worse than we heard at the time for them to have never gone back there. And I can’t imagine that it’s because of the city itself.

Well, the partnership agreement with the other minority owners gives the Davis family control over decision making. That's why he can afford to drop his ownership stake below 40%. He had 47% before the sale to Brady and his partners.
And does Brady really have $300 mill to drop into the Raiders? Because, using the Wash comp at $6 billion, then 10% is $600 mill and half that is $300 mill.

The arena itself is fairly isolated from the urban areas, and last I recall the only way to get to it was via car. Maybe that changed for the Super Bowl, but I'm sure something like that might've rubbed some league officials the wrong way.

Didn’t Dallas build stuff around the stadium? But it is Texas and they have plenty of land. Thus a lot of driving so large parking lots needed.

Levis stadium is in Santa Clara so not in SF. Yet they’ve gotten a second game coming up.

The stadium is in Arlington, which is between Fort Worth and Dallas.

Same area as the Rangers' stadium and Six Flags.

lost in all of the brady news is that his former teammate (and former raider) richard seymour also acquired an ownership stake with the team

If we use a floor of valuation of $6 billion to match Washington, for each 1% ownership stake is $60 million. Seymour earned $90 mill in his playing days. Brady earned $333 mill from his playing days and much more than Seymour in endorsements.

seymour's made some extra $$$ in recent years playing poker

Cowboys had been playing in Arlington for 40 years to that point, they needed a Super Bowl to figure that out?

So Raiders are finally hiring football people in ownership? Good.
The hell with Mark Davis.

wasn't the old stadium in irving near the airport? a bit closer to dallas proper than arlington is

 

[Troy McClure]

Correct. The Rangers had been in Arlington since the 70s, but even the Rangers hadn't built up much around either of their ballparks until very recently.

random question, anyone know a good replica jersey site? Really not trying to pay $70+ for football jerseys for my toddler

Well, this will be getting used too

With Davis, not sure what he thinks Brady will do to help solve QB issue. Personally not a major fan of this year’s crop. Don’t think anyone is worthy of trading a Young haul to move tup to get as I don’t see LV being bottom 3 terrible. So if one isn’t there not sure I see help coming unless they fall into a Dak, Cousins, who steps up post round 1 into a starting caliber QB.

Like in prior years where raiders drafted for position vs taking the top talent for their many wholes. Could have taken Wirfs over Ruggs as a year later they draft Leatherwood. Took Arnette at CB when waiting a year later they could have take n Newsome.

You can thank Jon Gruden for those ratchet ass picks, Mayock was there just to toss his salad.

I know. Just pointing out that just because your team needs a position, it doesn't mean that it's the best use of the asset to draft that position, when you have many holes on the roster and should be taking the player who is likely to be the best of that group.

WR/CB/OT is what they drafted over 2 drafts. But, timing wise, in terms of the player and position value, the better value player wasn't what they took, they took the position they wanted.

As for brady, he knows what drove him to greatness. No QB in this class or many classes will have the intangible qualities or drive, dedication, etc. that he had. Maybe the best he can do is identify QBs whom he believes won't be good and stay away from them. Won't get mesmerized by the raw talent like Mark and his dad Al (in his day) would be.

I don't think Brady is being brought in to do much of anything. Davis probably sees Brady as a wonderful PR helper. They'll land a bunch of sponsors because they'll have Brady show up to meet and greets. They'll have Brady do press for the Raiders.

So when you combine the Watson deal and the losing, you'd think the Browns owners would be hated enough already. They've decided to go all in by moving to the suburbs.

This is beyond stupid. That stadium isn't even 25 years old is it?

Opened in September of 1999.

Sadly, has never hosted a playoff game.
