02:13 AM ET 11.21 | No way would Mark Davis allow his team be this awful for the sake of netting new digs in a familiar location. We don't fully know his ownership style just yet, but I'm giving a 100 percent guarantee that's not a play in his book. The news of the Rose Bowl being voted on to expand from 12 to 25 events a year has begun to stoke a few previously cooling coals. This would mean the sacred grounds in Pasadena could be used to house a team in transition as the NFL returns to its biggest missing market. Naturally any time there is talk of the NFL returning to Los Angeles, the Raiders come up in conversation. Some are so disgusted with what we've been seeing on Sundays that it might be more tolerable to pass off the Raiders' poor play as intentional. That too is impossible. This team might not be playing with much pride these days but no professional would ever roll over so the men at the top can get richer. As we know there isn't one man whose job is safe once this season ends. So, intentional tanking is a great way to get a pink slip. Who wants that?

I disagree. A move back to LA would lose a good portion of the Oakland fanbase. It stung the first time, but a second time? Fool me once...

You don't suck for a ticket to LA. You suck to get a high draft choice.
Suck away, Raiders.

That would be horrible. Dodger fans are bad enough; we sure as hell don't need Raider fans. Raider fans in Pasadena? Blasphemy!

Ugh. No thanks. We have enough riffraff as it is. We don't need to import 60,000 of them 8 Sundays a year.

Riffraff? Not a kind way to speak of your fellow Californians and NFL fans. A little tolerance Willie!

Tolerence is overrated. It's just another way of saying we should just accept mediocrity. Although, in fairness, the Raiders and their fans would have to improve by leaps and bounds to approach mediocrity.

Happy Thanksgiving, Steeler.
