drivingfuriouslyI am reminded of the line from The Man Who Walked Through Time, Colin Fletcher’s account of his traverse of Grand Canyon National Park lengthwise. Toward the end, he began to feel depressed. “I finally realized that I had overdosed on beauty, and resolved to go home by way of Los Vegas.”
Ah yes, the Raiders once again trolling various cities to get Oakland to build them a new stadium. Several months ago they were here in San Antonio, getting the local powers all excited about finally getting a NFL team to use the infamous Alamodome, which the city built many years ago on the promise that if you build it they will come, except of course, they did not.Or they were looking at land half way between San Antonio and Austin.The only fly in the ointment is that Jerry Jones will never allow any other NFL team to move to Texas to grab some of his audience
Every time I think of Las Vegas, I think of the scene in Frasier when Lilith announces she’s going to marry a man whose family lives there, and Niles says, “You’ll have someone to show you the museums.”

the Raiders aren’t trolling anyone. They’re going somewhere, they have to, because the chance of a new stadium in Oakland is very close to zero.

“A football game never seemed so incidental.” Well, except every year at the Super Bowl!
