Farewell
Who is going to keep up updated now that xmas1997 is gone? We need someone to pick up the slack.
What happened to Glenn?
He asked Kori to ban him. She obliged.
Now who's going to officially let us know that the Raiders have moved to LA, tbh..

100,000 nfl estimated fan base in Paris ?
ya sure....
this PAPER magazine has been out for nearly 20 years:
http://www.footballamericain.com/
100K NFL fans of foot Americain in Paris metro area of 10M for could be low. There's probably 100K+ AMERICANS in Paris, but not the typical Joe and Jane SixPack NFL types.
There are 50k Americans in Paris, most are indeed not the typical NFL dudes...
There is no place in Paris for a second soccer pro team so Ya a pro NFL team in Paris ... Sure
Define fan tbh
100 000 guys in paris watching the superbowl? Sure. It's even on national TV now.
100 000 guys watching the NFL on a regular basis and knowing the name of 5+ teams? I don't think so
I think there are limits on popularity of football in Europe given the lack of foreign players (unlike NBA), though games are in the early part of the soccer season and kickoff is Sunday evening so could gain popularity then. Europe is all a play for TV markets, and will take time for a local team there to build up a fan base.
Madrid and London all support four soccer teams (and pretty good attendance compared to league average). Is soccer just more popular elsewhere in France, or is PSG support just that strong?
French like soccer but nothing close to spain England or even Germany. PSG has a solid fan base but not that strong, it's just french do other than going to stadium tbh
Like I said, Financially speaking, the Raiders are not going to get a better deal. It would take Davis and company 10+ years to recoup what the would have to spend to stay in Oakland whereas SA is offering public funds, plus private investments from McCombs, Holt, and Co.
As someone posted the Quote from Tim Brown, whom I assumed was privy to the actual offer made by SA:
"I'll tell you, the wild card here, I believe, is San Antonio. I know people don't want to hear that, but from what I'm hearing the package that San Antonio put on the table was far better than any package they could have ever imagined.
I still think the idea of having one home game played in Mexico City during the week for Dia de los Muertas would be an awesome idea if the Raiders moved to San Antonio. Mexico has a lot of NFL fans, especially near the bordering states. The Raiders could monopolize the market down with a move like this.
How come OP stopped posting updates?

Roger Goodell told Chargers, Raiders and Rams that there will not be a team that moves to Los Angeles for next season. (via AdamSchefter)

Because OP no longer exists. Got the old ban from Kori.
I don't see anyway that Jerry lets the NFL put a team in San Antonio, tbh.
