This must be of concern to someone in the league office. I was surprised to see a number of empty seats yesterday in the upper regions of Soldier Field. The Jags and Falcons games were ghost towns. Jets were not much better |

I honestly don't know why anyone would want to go to a football game. Much better to just watch at home. |

Yup Frankie. The tailgates are fun, but the game is better on tv. |

I still wouldn't have had enough points to beat you. Maybe next year I'll get a heads up that the day of the draft changed. |

The thought of the Raiders being a dome team is maybe the most galling part of the Las Vegas move. Both Coliseums were the oldest of old-school. Sometimes Oakland had dirt. |

It's a rendering. On time, on budget. Mark Davis getting things done. |

Tailgating is the best part of attending live football. If you have centrally located seats, even in the bleeders, it's a great experience. You can see plays develop. However it's such an exhausting day. You have to go in knowing your Sunday is totally shot. The camera angles used on TV are the biggest issue with broadcasted football. They miss so much of the action. But watching on TV is so damn convenient. Better food, easier to piss and switch the game if current one sucks |

Last time I went to an NFL game was a November 1996 battle between Dave Krieg and Scott Mitchell. |

Hell, in the great old days it was damn near a prerequisite to being a Raider. Villapiano, Tatum and a dozen plus others immediately come to mind. |

He kinda liked watching basketball for a few months 5 years ago and he stopped wanting to play sports not long after then. I should probably get a DNA test. |
