Now that the NFL has apparently bestowed not one but likely two roses upon long-loveless Los Angeles, San Antonio is now the top pro football bachelorette city, and it already has an ardent suitor. That would be Mark Davis, he of the strawberry blond Lego-man hairdo and recent-ish heir to the skull-encrusted throne of the Oakland Raiders.
With the Raiders’ lease expired in Oakland, the team, at this moment, is technically homeless. And Davis has said he is quite prepared to throw the whole organization in a silver-and-black bandana, tie it to a stick, and beat feet out of the East Bay. “We’ll see where the Raider Nation ends up here,” Davis told reporters. “We’re looking for a home. I don’t know where we’ll be. My lease at the Coliseum is expired … America, the world, is a possibility.”
By “the world,” Davis might be referring to London, but as of now, the Jacksonville Jaguars seem the likelier candidate to fulfill Roger Goodell’s dream of global gridiron domination. So will likely land the raiders stateside, more specifically, in San Antonio, a city whose leaders Davis and other Raiders emissaries schmoozed back in 2014.
