There is a delicious metaphor in Oakland and the Raiders holding a news conference to announce no news.
Oh, they want you to think it’s news, they want that desperately. But it isn’t. They announced that the Raiders, who want to leave Oakland but cannot because Mark Davis hasn’t the money, power or window to leave, are staying for at least another year, and for an undetermined number of years to come.
Undetermined, of course, because they are waiting for clearance from Dean Spanos, Stan Kroenke, the other 28 NFL owners and any one of a million cities in the world that Davis calls “Raider Nation.
