Slight chance Raiders don't file but most likely all 3 teams file.

Could ESK provide Davis with an incentive that causes the Raiders not to file for relocation? If so, doesn't that pretty much slam the door on the Spanos man-child?

Farmer was saying while some owners may like the addition of Iger, others are concerned about Richardson's involvement and wonder why Carson needs outside help.

Farmer also pointed out that he's hardly talked to every owner and that a lot of them probably aren't paying a lot of attention to L.A. ...


Alrighty, that makes sense.. Not shocking that most owners don't really care much about LA, or paying a lot of attention. That probably helps Kroenke to be honest, because his project is more extravagant.

I think that Davis has more incentive not to file, because he probably knows that he's the one that the owners most likely don't want in LA.. If he files, and gets denied, that makes it hard for him to make it work there.

This Bob Iger thing may be the biggest bullshit topic of the entire stadium fiasco. What the hell is he going to do to promote filling stadium seats more than a winning team? Yes, I get he's a successful guy, but who cares.

If delay hurts Carson more, than Stan has the advantage if he can hold onto 9 votes.

That gives him the better bargaining position cutting deal.

I think the takeaway here is my biggest fear. Majority of owners don't care. Ambivalence leads to poor decisions.
Im not sure how it affects them but if Chargers/Raidrers means realignment that could negatively affect some of them

I'm taking that as...It's somewhat helpful and somewhat not as in six of one and a half dozen of another. Iger a good name to add, but with all the back dealing Richardson has done, it's not going to mean as much. Again, my take only.

I don't think the Iger hire for $1 is much of anything. Policy was also brought on board to boost Carson. Iger can't even contribute until 2018. He's committed to Disney up until then. How much work can he do before that?

It's Iger's connections in LA. His ability to get corporations and sponsors on board. He made a lot of connections at Disney. No he is not responsible for making Disney better in anyway that I know of, he just made a lot of deal and garnered respect via association.

That project is still a bunch of hot gas with negative intentions.

This whole thing is crazy, but one thing I am 100% confident about is that Kroenke has the 9 votes he needs to block. If he wants to block, he can.
