*Sudden-death overtime.
 
You know, the most irritating thing were 2 of the last 3 Raiders appearances, a decade apart, both losses, in which we scored a sum total of 6 points. Grrrrrrr.

The funny thing is, neither gets my blood pressure up anymore. They used to.
 
Who made up those odds? I wouldn't go to Vegas with those odds. Absolute CRAP. We got better odds Gruden's 3rd season 100-1, and we had a team that was in its 3rd year of transition. Now we've got a brand new coach and a team coming off 3 consecutive crap seasons. Are we better off than some of those other teams? Yeah, but the odds of us going to the Bowl are worse than 40-1.

I agree. Vegas is getting a little tenative since seeing the Rams go from worst to first and a few other anomalies. Like they're not making enough money as it is! :eek:
 
I don't remember if I read it correctly, but I think they made more money off their new entertainment ventures than they did off gambling last year in Vegas. They're turning the corner from gambling to family destination, and might never go back.

I thnk you're partially right. But the gambling is the thing that lures the masses. Besides I'm sure the tables pay the rent and the electricity with a little left over for a 2500 room hotel! :eek:
 
Well, after a brief review, I found a study by UNLV that says only 5% of people go to Vegas for gambling, 51% just go to vacation (that must be what all the wives said), 21% go for conventions.

If I can find figures for revenues and expenses I'll tell you what I find.
 
That might be what they say they are going for but the fact remains those casinos in Las Vegas are jammed packed. I mean you can't even find a 21 table to sit down at. Unless all those folks are winning, the casinos arre making a lot of money.

It would be interesting to see what they say regarding revenues. Let us know.
 
Here is a story on Chad Slaughter right before our Super Bowl....

January 26, 2003

Ex-Alcorn star Slaughter awaits day in spotlight


By Rick Cleveland
[email protected]

SAN DIEGO — Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Chad Slaughter, all 6 feet, 8 inches and 340 pounds of him, won't play in today's Super Bowl.

If he does, it will be the first time he has played in an NFL regular season or playoff game.

But don't feel sorry for Slaughter, a former Alcorn State football and basketball player. He's drawing the NFL minimum salary of $300,000, and he'll earn $63,000 more if the Raiders win. He will receive $35,000 if they lose.

That's pretty good money for yelling or being a cheerleader. Slaughter, a Dallas native, wants to earn his keep.

"I'm going to be a player in this league," says Slaughter, who was on the inactive list for all Raider games this season. "Everybody can't be on the field at one time, but my time will come."

Meanwhile, he says, "This is an awesome experience to go through. I'm having a great time here."

Raiders offensive line coach Aaron Kromer says Slaughter has the potential to become a contributing player, but also says Slaughter has much work to do.

"He's raw," Kromer says. "He's got the size and then some. He's got the long arms you need for pass blocking.

"But he's got to work on his technique. He's got to get stronger. It's up to him; every player in this league is his own corporation. If Chad puts his mind to it and works, he'll be a player."

Slaughter doubled as a football standout and a basketball substitute at Alcorn. He did log valuable minutes for Dave Whitney's 2000 Southwestern Athletic Conference basketball regular season champions.

"I knew my role," Slaughter says. "I was supposed to rebound, play defense and set picks. I was no scorer."

Undrafted, he signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys. He was a late training camp cut with the Cowboys and signed with the New York Jets. He spent the 2000 season in New York and then went back to 2001 summer camp with the Jets. The Jets cut him and Dallas signed him again.

Dallas released him for a second time on their last cut of training camp. Slaughter was out of football for a month before Oakland signed him. He has been with the Raiders ever since. He says his best football is ahead of him.

"I've been a knucklehead at times in the past, but that's behind me," he said. "I'm gonna play in this league. I know I won't play Sunday, but I hope this isn't my last Super Bowl."
