    The FBI got involved because they were on international soil.

    The other questions I have no fucking clue.

    I didn't read the story, so in my head I'm going to pretend this international reporter was from Russia and he was bringing the uniform back to go with the Super Bowl ring Putin stole from Kraft.

    I'm guessing the guy had an on-field press pass, saw that Brady whipped his jersey off for his Champs shirt, and grabbed it as a keepsake/memorabilia piece.

    I think I read he had the jersey from the Seattle year also.

    Shouldn't the CIA be involved then not the FBI?

    I'm kinda excited to see what his heist display room holds. :wink:

    CIA isn't law enforcement and theft took place on US soil.

    It will end in tears

    Still making for vegas is dumb as NO one walks away from there rich
    Sending the team to San Diego would be a middle finger to the chargers and if they help the city rebuild qualcom or build a whole new Stadium would be an even larger middle finger to George Pernicano and Alex Spanos
    The last one is in real estate and could not work out a deal with the city no wonder he is going to LA he wants to lose

    They're also planning on banning any jumping over the line of scrimmage on extra points and field goals.

    They've already got rules in place for the long snapper and I don't remember seeing anyone get injured on one of those plays in a long time.

    Why are they even bothering?

    Didn't the Raider's stadium plans in Vegas all implode? So would they be voting on some future move in a few years? Or is there another venue there that can hold them till they get their own 'real' stadium.

    The rich guy bailed because he realized he was being used by Al's weird son and wasn't really needed at all (twist was he was correct), they have the funds needed from supporters and the location, and now looks like they have all the votes needed, beat writers assuming It's Happening.

    If there was any doubt left:

    "I think we will have a vote, and I think we will have a positive vote. I think we are in pretty good shape," Goodell said.

    More quotes from owners today:

    Robert Kraft on possibility of Raiders to Vegas: "I think it's great."
    Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Monday is "going to be an exciting day for Vegas."
    #Chargers owner Dean Spanos said #Raiders in Las Vegas would be a "great thing" and that he will vote for it

    So the Raiders will have a new stadium soon, and now it seems like the norm that a couple years after a new stadium opens they let that city host the Super Bowl.

    So that means that in a few years we might get a Super Bowl in Las Vegas. That will be bananas.

    They'll probably be better attended than Chargers games, but they also might have more visiting fans than anywhere else in the league.

    Tom Brady is going to turn 40 this August. For most athletes regardless of sport, this is long past the point where competing over the course of an entire season is feasible. For Brady, this is nothing, as the Patriots’ quarterback doesn’t plan on letting his age get in the way of his career.

    Brady, who has expressed his desire to continue playing for a long time, has reportedly told Patriots owner Robert Kraft that he doesn’t see retirement on the horizon. According to Kraft, Brady plans on playing for another 6-7 years.

    “As recently as 2-3 days ago, he assured me he’d be willing to play 6-7 more years,” Kraft told the Boston Herald. “At the level he performed, there’s no one that would be happier than I and our fan base. In some ways, you think about, I think there’s one player at the age of 40 who had one good year: (Brett) Favre for the Vikings. But he didn’t do so well before (turning 40). I think Tommy’s sustained excellence is just unbelievable, and it’s a lifestyle. He’s in training now. It’s not like he’s stopped. He works out.”

    The oldest NFL player ever was George Blanda, who played until he was 48, and if Brady makes it another seven years, he’d join Blanda and Morten Andersen as the only players to take the field after their 47th birthday.

    Of course, just because Brady plans on playing for another 6-7 years doesn’t really mean anything – there’s no way of knowing what Brady’s body will do even if he’s in great shape right now, and it’s possible that he moves his timetable for retirement up based on any number of factors. Maybe he’ll want to spend more time with his wife and children, or maybe he’ll decided to focus all his time towards selling meals that cost way too much money.

    But we can’t really assume anything other than what the four-time Super Bowl MVP told Kraft, and for that reason, we should assume that Brady’s going to continue his NFL career through 2023 or 2024. Whether he’s able to keep up his current level of play and whether he’s still a Patriot by that time remains to be seen, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

    Tom Brady is the Undertaker of the NFL.

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

    I mean, Celine Dion and Brittney Spears can set up residence in a casino and sell out 5 shows a week. Plus it's really cheap to get to vegas from most places.

    So you'll have the locals and some of the die-hards who can drive from Oakland and then you'll have people who decide to just make a weekend of it whatever weekend their team plays the Raiders. Football season is a pretty good time of year to go to the desert.

    This has been the book on him for as long as I can remember.

    Problem is, 99% of the time he gets rid of the ball so damn fast that nobody gets a chance to touch him.
