Well perhaps the Chargers will get a following in there new digs.Kinda of sad at least to me NFL greed snuffed out two of the great Cali franchises of AFL lore Raiders-Chargers

Dean Spanos is an idiot for leaving San Diego. Anyone with half a brain could have told you that this wasn't going to work. No one in Los Angeles gives a damn about the Chargers.

And they never will.

Hell they hardly cared for the rams or Raiders when they were there.Just something to do when the surf wasn't up

Nobody gives a damn about the Chargers. They went from being the beloved San Diego Chargers to the football equivalent of the Clippers or Mets.

I think the Raiders might do well in Vegas, though. People in Vegas are about as classy as typical Raiders fans already, so it should be a good fit.

Chargers absolutely need somebody like Brady to get anyone to care. Which is why I think they'll go all in in trying to lure him away from New England.

Raiders are already doing well in Vegas. The Raiders just recently sold the PSL's for their new stadium. They were projecting to get $175 million. They got FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY MILLION. 60% of the PSL's went to Nevada residents/companies.  All the casinos went in there and bought up the rights to all the expensive boxes. Raiders are going to crush it in Vegas.

Chargers might be screwed though if they don't get Brady and/or a couple Super Bowl wins. Only shot in hell they'll have at anyone in LA giving a shit about them.

The oral history of how Mark Davis pulled off the funding of the stadium is fascinating.
