Oakland Raiders
Did I say Oakland? Yeah, I meant Las Vegas Raiders. It’s time to get used to it, folks because the move is really happening—the Black and Silver are on their collective way to Las Vegas to play in Darth Vader’s dog’s water dish. 2019 wasn’t an incredible sendoff for the Oakland bunch, unfortunately, with the team struggling to grasp any consistency on the way to a 7-9 finish. Josh Jacobs was a bright spot, and Derek Carr showed signs of capability at quarterback. But the offense didn’t score a lot of points—a “drive for show and putt for dough” type of dilemma.
2020 Resolution: Take comfort in the fact the referees will call them Oakland at least 100 times. At least 100! The Chargers had to go through this for two seasons, and it would be crazy to assume that other teams making a move to a new city won’t get the same treatment—especially one as iconic as Oakland. And truthfully, I have no idea how the fan base should (or will) react to this movie, and can only guess that most are disgusted. So, yeah. Sometimes a good laugh is better than a cry.
