Wilt Chamberlain would have made an awesome Wide Receiver, and messed around with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Carry on. :P

 

Yeah, Wilt was an incredible track athlete as well. Sick athlete who happened to be 7' tall. They rewrote the basketball rule book to try to lessen his dominance, as I think you know...

should have stuck to football

Football got him hurt though! He could've been a hall of fame baseball player if he'd stuck to baseball, actually... His baseball highlight reel is every bit as impressive as his football reel...

Yeah, Wilt was once in a few lifetimes kind of guy; his feats read like something out of legend. It's a shame that the Chiefs couldn't get a deal done so that he could play football for them (he ran a 4.6 40 yard dash in his tryout, wearing silk pants and bare feet!) but playing football and basketball at the same time was never going to work.

yes let's get back to the Raiders leaving Oakland and coming to Vegas. will it work? i am wary that it will UNLESS the people who live there 24/7/365 really get behind them! i don't see a lot of people going to Vegas just to see an NFL football game. they go for the casinos, the shows etc. i live in a kind of really sad smaller Vegas and i don't go to casinos except once in a blue moon but if we had the Raiders here i'd go to more games for sure!

Looks like the stadium funding in Vegas fell through. So the move is not that official anymore.:P

that was what they said about the T Mobile Stadium and that happened so i am not betting against it! ( see what i did there? :P ) oh and T Mobile was where i saw GN'R....*swoon*

Hope they stay but hard to stop these things once they start rolling. Some other big money will jump in on it now.

I don't know man. That's a lot of cash backing out. But, all the legal stuff is cleared, so maybe someone will jump in with the cash... What ya say man- let's throw in our next couple paychecks- we should about make up the difference, eh?

Well I move to keep em in Oakland. With all this big $$$ we are gonna throw at them it should be enough to keep them there.

Yeah my first choice would be a new stadium in Oaktown...

Yeah but the E was down with the LA version... Although Ice Cube still loves em even though they moved back to Oaktown. Maybe the E would still be the same way these days...

well apparently if Vegas won't take them there is another contender:

 

The Raiders are not the only NFL team with stadium issues, though, and events elsewhere in California could provide a solution that would have seemed unlikely, if not outright unthinkable, not that long ago. The Chargers announced earlier this month that they will move to Los Angeles this year, eventually sharing a brand-new stadium with the Rams, leaving San Diego a possibility for a team viewed for decades as a despised divisional rival in that city.

“In the wake of Tuesday’s news that the Raiders’ bid for Las Vegas is in peril, [San Diego] Mayor Kevin Faulconer spoke with an NFL official to let the league know the city is eager to engage when appropriate,” San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Kevin Acee reported. “. . . It is well-known that Raiders owner Mark Davis loves San Diego, and some close to him believe he would prefer the market over remaining in Oakland.”

so San Diego Raiders?

Fuck no. That'd be like the Yankees moving to Boston.
