2016 Raiders Warship Where The Hell Will They End Up Thread

Reading a story on Sports Illustrated about how theyre getting the Memorial Coliseum ready for the rams return and thought this was pretty funny

The visitor’s locker room offers a classic bit of Coliseum lore. It was last renovated in 1994 after the Northridge earthquake did damage to the stadium’s infrastructure, and the Raiders were then the NFL tenant. Raiders owner Al Davis, never shy when it came to a little skullduggery designed to get in an opponent’s head, personally handled the design of the visitor’s locker room, with predictable results.

The locker room is cramped and confusing, configured with a series of rows of lockers, much like a library layout, with no open spaces for coaches or players to gather and talk face to face. An “Al Davis special,” in other words.

“As the story goes, they’re laying it out and modernizing and renovating the locker room, and they kept saying to Al, ‘This is kind of small, and a little cramped,’ ” Coliseum general manager Joe Furin said. “And Al said, ‘That’s the way I want it!’ You can’t even have positional meetings in there. A coach can’t stand anywhere and talk to all of his players. They have to spread out and into the hallways and things like that, so we’re going to have to come up with some creative solutions for that. We might have to blow out a wall and create more cubes.”

He got huge $ for the Ravens. Rumor is the offer here was abut 6 mil a year.
 
I felt like we were banking on him and then never talked to Casey Hayward?

all speculation but they said on the radio he took less to go to the ravens
 
Glad to see Penn back. Really enjoyed his interviews and he seemed like a true team player kind of guy. I thought he faded a bit towards the middle to end of the year so I hope he still has enough juice.
 
Aldon Smith can sign with any team but still can't play until November. We should reach out...
