It’s still a little weird typing “Las Vegas Raiders,” but that’s because the team’s first season in Las Vegas was surreal (no fans at the games and all that).<\/p>\n

Now, though, we’re looking at the team’s first “real” season in our shiny new Allegiant Stadium, and even people who don’t care about sports are excited.<\/p>\n

We’re referring to us, of course. Let’s look at the schedule!<\/p>\n

\"Raiders
Of all the teams we don’t care about, we don’t care about the Raiders least!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, that’s the home game schedule, but home games are really the only ones that matter. Because Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Oh, stop your whining.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full schedule, you big baby.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cheat sheets like this were created because concussions can cause memory loss. Yes, we have to ruin everything.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

See it bigger on the Las Vegas Raiders Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lost in the shuffle of the excitement of the schedule announcement is the fact our new team isn’t all that great.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the Raiders batted about .500. Which we’re pretty sure: 1) isn’t spectacular, and 2) is a metaphor from an entirely different sport.<\/p>\n

Last season, the team lost five of their last seven games.<\/p>\n

Honestly, the Raiders couldn’t be worse if we personally played every position on the team and we have the physique of a pregnant manatee.<\/p>\n

We are imploring the Las Vegas Raiders to be better so we have a reason to attend a game because we really want to check out the new Raiders stadium.<\/p>\n

We’re all helping pay for the stadium with room taxes, so we deserve a look. Free. Not paid tours<\/a>, that’s lame.<\/p>\n

\"Las
Allegiant Stadium has been equipped with a giant metal detector. It’s on the Internet<\/a>, so it has to be true.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s been a lot of hype around sports as the financial savior of Las Vegas, which we hope comes to pass.<\/p>\n

The Vegas Golden Knights have been an unmitigated success, on pretty much every level, despite the fact hockey is a sport nobody has cared about since 1980.<\/p>\n

There have been lots of rumblings recently about other pro sports teams eyeing Las Vegas, including MLB (hello, Oakland A’s<\/a>) and NBA (hello, Timberwolves<\/a>). We told you about all this, but we know you don’t listen because we pretend to hate sports and that somehow undermines our credibility in breaking news about sports. Rude.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the Raiders! Take out that second mortgage, gird your loins and get ready for some football in Las Vegas!<\/p>\n

Speaking of loins, here’s a fun fact: NFL players don’t wear protective cups. See? We can even make football fun!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
