Mark Davis Has Talked Oakland Raiders Sale, NFL Stadium With Ronnie Lott, Oakland Officials - Video

Mark Davis Has Talked Oakland Raiders Sale, NFL Stadium With Ronnie Lott, Oakland Officials On Friday of last week, Jason Cole of Bleacher Report sent out a Twitter tweet reporting that Oakland Raiders Owner Mark Davis said he had not received an offer to buy part of the Oakland Raiders from Ronnie Lott, the head of Oakland Pro Football Group LLC. Having covered this story and been involved in Oakland stadium issues since 1992, I knew that was not the case, so I contacted a friend of mine who is head-deep involved in the deal and that person sent back this text: "n theory Davis is correct but in real world dialogue he's lying. There has not been yet an official written offer because we are working on getting the land deal done first. Without a land deal there is no stadium deal. So Mark is using all that for cover to keep the Vegas talk alive as leverage. Sent from my iPhone" So now we has a high-level Oakland-based official calling Davis out as lying. Mark Davis has done this before and in the case of the Carson issue. I called him out on his deliberate attempts to mislead in this video: Now, he is trying to do it again. But the truth is Davis has talked to Ronnie Lott and a number of times, and about the stadium and Raiders sale proposal. Mark Davis has certain reporters spinning for him. Don't believe them on this issue. I am told the land deal will be done mid-August and then the stadium deal can get done. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
