1 year agoYou can literally hear the entire crowd boo calls that help the raiders. And the stadium overwhelmingly cheers when the Chiefs score. Vast majority of the the stadium is in red. Same for every other home game in Las Vegas.
I get they’re still newly transplanted, but I don’t see this changing. Raiders are a vanity team that is a destination city for opponents. Great for the casinos/hotels/ticket sales though. I also don’t blame ownership for wanting out of Oakland (i.e. Oakland Las Vegas A’s)
Does icing a kicker even work? Kickers expect it, so it’s almost counterintuitive to do it. Just make him kick on the spot with the play clock running down.
I feel like it’s something that started before computerized statistics and now teams just do it out of habit. Wasting a timeout when you desperately need seconds before OT seems so dumb.
