    Looks like the Raiders are going to roll the dice in Vegas

    CNN's Dylan Byers reports that NFL owners are expected to OK the move of the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas as soon as today.

    The vote is expected around 3pm our time.

    Unfortunate. To me, the Raiders just belong in Oakland, like Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills.

    One of the writers at the San Francisco Chronicle ended her piece on the Raiders exit with the words(may not be the exact words, but the sentiment is there) "Get out of here. Right now."

    I'll say it again. Oakland city gov had plenty of time to retain them and dorked around. It's the city's fault. They absolutely should have remained the Oakland Raiders, and tried to.

    This covers 7 years :

    Mace: Mark Davis is no saint either. If memory serves, the 49ers were prepared to have the Raiders be co-tenants at what would become Levi's Stadium. But Davis wanted no part of it.

    If that's how it went down, then it's a spoiled billionaire acting like a 4 year old. "NO! I'm not going to share! Everyone else's city bought them a stadium- why won't you buy me one? You're so mean- as soon as I'm big enough I'm running away!"

    I'll tell you what, that guy certainly has the haircut of a 4-year-old.
