Conrad Dobler & his cast...

Promoter deserves to be severely criticized. Hope On Ice Entertainment lost millions.

Pro football in LA is challenged because the area is just so freaking big. Areas a hundred miles from downtown LA are still considered a part of the metro area. The weather is generally always nice with so, so, so, so much to do that trying to fill an 80,000 seat stadium can be a challenge.

How far is the drive to Vegas from Oakland?

He skewered the promoter in his column today. I hope he really fried him on American sports radio. That guy should never be allowed to promote another sporting event ever again.

No, not the same. the entire field was ruined in Mexico. We're talking about 2 patches 2 feet by 3 feet.

That would have been a text book tackle 2 years ago.

The whole city works for minimum wage in the gaming industry or in the casinos. How will they afford season tickets?

If they checked the field last night they may have cancelled.

The NFL may never come back to Winnipeg but for sure it's never coming back to Oakland.

Nice tribute to the history of the Raiders with Gruden. Except the team is moving to Vegas next season. Thanks for the memories, Oakland & **** you. Lol.

That certainly doesn't look dangerous but then I'm no expert.

Gruden made a comment earlier today about his concerns with the field. He sure looks like he can't wait to get outta here after the game. We may hear more about this fiasco on Hard Knocks.

What I don't get is when they had the Bills playing at SkyDome they never had an issue with the goalposts. So, who's fault is it anyway?

Gruden has a permanent "I'm So Pissed Off" look on his face.

Nah, that'll be fixed properly. They just never thought it would be a problem. They probably should have converted the field days before to give them time to fix problems like this.

Pisses me off that we had such a loser promoting this game. How bad it's making us look.

I agree our turf is better than Oakland but at the same time there are no holes in the field in Oakland.

Shame that this **** show happened. Watch the promoter sue the Bombers for his ineptitude. No way this is on the Bombers or CFL.

Well, I'm not apologizing for what I said. I don't like NFL bashing any more than CFL bashing. Sort of like Rider fans telling us how great the City of Regina is & how great it is to live there. If it's so great then why the need to tell us? We should already know, if it was.

How come people who complain about a sales tax will happily pay a carbon tax? A tax is a tax is a tax.

Most fans are footballed out after the Super Bowl. I honestly think they want a break from football with it being late winter, the Final Four Tournament gets going in March, MLB spring training starts mid February & then the NBA & NHL are in their final third of the season leading to the playoffs. Another spring football league doesn't excite a lot of fans because a lot of sports are going on. .

Whoa. LOL

Nope.

Four hundred dollar tickets on the 50 yard line in the upper decks. Absolute insanity.
