SAN FRANCISCO – The Texans are expected to play a regular-season game against the Oakland Raiders in Mexico City next season.

It is an obvious choice to have Oakland play a home game against the Texans in the international series that's being expanded beyond the United Kingdom, according to league officials familiar with negotiations.

The Raiders should just become a traveling team without a true home, like the Harlem Globetrotters.

Play home games every year in Mexico City, Toronto, London, San Antonio, Portland, San Diego (when they play the Chargers, of course), Las Vegas and Oakland.

They could play it in either city and the same amount of Mexicans would show up.

It would not surprise me at all if the NFL puts a team in Mexico in the next 15 years. Either Mexico City or possibly Monterrey which is closer and wealthier per capita.

Neither make much sense.

I'm not sure Mexico City would support a team and I'm very confident they would be at a significant disadvantage attracting coaches and free agents.

We care about the health of our players!!!

Now make them go play in the most polluted city in North America.

This is why Davis threw out San Antonio as a possible new home for the Raiders.

If the Raiders moved to San Antonio, the Mexicans would swarm to watch. Rich Mexicans, too. Tons of affluent Mexican nationals live in the Dominion (upscale, where ppl like George Strait and David Robinson live) down in San Antonio.

But of course Jerry Jones would never allow it, he has the Mexican market cornered in these parts.

Indeed

I love Latinos, though. We know how to party down here

sounds dangerous, but hey both of these two fanbases will fit right in.


The typical Texans fan still struggles to understand why a score is worth 6 points rather than 1.

You tried way too hard, KK, and should feel bad about it.

Klark absolutely hates Latinos and Houston. I've heard he keeps his hood on when he posts sometimes

Well, he's kind of right. You can imagine the Raiders.

Late Thursday afternoon, the Texans announced a new tailgate policy that prohibits people being in the tailgates without a ticket or one of the limited new tailgate passes.
