You have the right url, just don't put any tags around it. This site has a built in feature where if it sees a link it knows what to do with, it shows you the content that link refers to (Youtube, Twitter, etc.). No tags required...

Apparently the Raiders are close to selling part of the team to an LA investor.. Which begs some questions, if he sells and they don't get the green light to move, what happens? Or is the sale conditional on saying yes?

If Davis' preference is to stay in the Bay, why doesn't he sell part of the team to someone like Larry Ellison and keep the team up North?

So this one smells a little Fabiani/fishy to me but we'll see...

I don't buy it. It's such a random thing at a random time and it just doesn't make sense. I think it's just Mark being Mark.

This whole thing smells fishy. I just feel like the whole Spanos vs Kroenke thing is made up. Like a conspiracy theory.

For example. They both talk in 2013 about Inglewood and Stan buys it and Dean gets surprised then in January 2015 Dean gets surprised again? Something doesn't add up.

Or Dean is an idiot son.

Dean is an idiot son, no question about that.

This is not new today, Vinny reported it Sep 30. Based on how he lays it out, I expect it is contingent on them moving to LA - which means it is also possibly totally meaningless.

One thing that’s been made very clear to me: While the mystery person could invest money into the club, I continue to be told Raiders owner Mark Davis will not sell controlling interest in the team. This isn’t a move out of desperation, The Chargers and Raiders have the necessary financing in place to get the stadium done. And the Raiders are well positioned to operate successfully in L.A.

Whoever is brought on, it will be as a minority owner who will increase the Raiders and Chargers ability to maximize non-game day revenue opportunities. Think surrounding development and entertainment possibilities.

Do they even have space to expand the project for the surrounding area?

Yeah, if I were some self-respecting rich dude, there's no way I'm going to put millions of dollars into a company and have Mark Davis remain in control -- heck, I don't think I'd want Deano in control either. Two silver spoon babies, really.
