The Raiders Just Pulled Off A Master Stroke And Hardly Anyone Realizes It
Mark Davis has never brought up images of Michael Corleone, but his latest move does kind of remind me of a scene from Godfather II. Davis recently ticked off everyone in Las Vegas, most notably Sheldon Adelson, by going before the Las Vegas Stadium Authority last week and making a lease agreement proposal that only a Corleone could love — $1 annual rent and complete control of stadium operations.
CORLEONE: “My offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.”
Ouch.
