Minnesota and Buffalo have a loyal fanabse, so I will go with Oakland. They have already been here before and a lot us Raider fans would love for them to come back. to Los Angeles.

I will keep it short since you did as well.

"Well, EVERY team has a loyal fan-base, not much of a difference there."

Forget what you said?

"I'll take Jax. They don't have a long history, and won't uproot a loyal fanbase."

Anyways....

"The problem with bringing the Raiders- is they have been there and done that"

They would be correcting a wrong. They never should have moved to Oakland, but Al got greedy. And things didn't exactly work out the way he thought they would in Northern California.

"Oakland is on TV. every week."

They might be on TV every week....because I have the NFL Sunday Ticket through DirecTV. But, here in Los Angeles? They aren't on CBS every week.

We actually get a lot more Charger games than Raider games. Nice try though.

"The Raiders can sign free agents."

Actually, no. They can't. At least not high quality free agents like you seem to be implying they can.

They are capped out. They released 2 of their main CB's last season in Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson who started a lot of games last season.

Why? Because they make too much in relation to their production on the field.

"Even MJD wants out of Jacksonville, and he might be a hall-of-famer."

He wants out of Florida because Blaine Gabbert sucks big time. And MJD wants to win, like most athletes.

"Part of the reason the Rai-dahs are in the cap situation they are in is because they are HORRIBLY run, and signed horrible deals, but players still want to play in Oakland."

They do? Please tell me what elite free agents are trying to play for the Raiders at below market value.

They aren't any clamoring to put on the Silver and Black. As much as it hurts to type that. It's true.

Al Davis wanted the PSL's in Oakland.

"Oakland is on TV. every week."

That was your original quote. They aren't on local TV every week here. Fact. I have the NFL Sunday Ticket so I no longer have to resort to CBS, but I was simply pointing out thge Raiders aren't shown that much here in Los Angeles.

The Raiders coming back to LA would create more interest here than the Bills, Vikings or Jags relocating here. That's just obvious. At least to me it is.
