If you hate the Raiders, this is some funny stuff...

Raiders' 2020 draft class has chance to be historically embarrassing

Go to the link, but it starts like this:

Jon Gruden has a $100 million contract. If that money was lit on fire, how long would it burn for?


Apparently, the answer is 10 years.

I saw the following article earlier this morning and laughed

Raiders waive Tanner Muse after 2020 third-round pick never played a snap for team, per report

Two of the Raiders' third-round picks from 2020 are no longer on the roster

It makes me wonder how long until Mayock tires of Chuckie's shenanigans?

Psst... forever... make it so.

Daddy's Money does not seem to care if Gruden wins or not so he is safe no matter what happens.


Mayock will be the guy who takes the blame.

I think Gruden was hired to help sell the PSL's for the Las Vegas Stadium, and it worked.

Concur. I had thought about going down for the week 3 game. Then, I found out it was $400 per seat for the nosebleed section.

Sadly, I think you are right. Some of these personnel moves reek of Chuckie.

p.s. I liked Mayock on NFLN.

As it played out, the Raiders had no trouble quickly selling out all the PSL's , which (depending on location) ranged from about $7,000 to $80,000 per seat. Maybe having Gruden as a coach helped a bit but the demand for seats in Las Vegas was so strong I think it surprised everybody. The Raiders probably could have retained Del Rio as head coach (he still had 3 full years of contract remaining) and still sold all the PSL's no problem. Now going forward the Raiders are set financially, having a guaranteed sell out of all tickets for all future games.
