Social media had plenty of jokes after a Las Vegas Raiders reporter revealed the unique gift the team sent to its season ticket holders for 2025.
The Las Vegas Raiders are gearing up for their sixth season in Sin City, looking to make the playoffs for the first time since 2021. The rebuilt Raiders have a new head coach (Pete Carroll), front office (led by GM John Spytek), quarterback (Geno Smith) and prized rookie running back in Ashton Jeanty.
Optimism is brewing again in Las Vegas, with the legendary Tom Brady also coming aboard as part-owner. The Raiders begin their 2025 season with a road game against Brady’s old team, the New England Patriots, on Sept. 7.

As some folks pointed out, the book was likely finished before Carr announced his stunning retirement. His tenure with the Silver and Black...
