NFL commissioner Goodell makes it clear odds are against Las Vegas

HOUSTON -- Roger Goodell's position on Las Vegas is evolving.

Now he can at least say the city's name without a look of disgust spreading across his face.

Actually, the look may be more of a knowing smile now that the deal to move the Oakland Raiders to Sin City is teetering precariously on the verge of collapse. The sudden withdrawal of casino operator Sheldon Adelson from the grand plan he and Raiders owner Mark Davis hatched to move the team to Las Vegas made it a lot easier for Goodell to evade, er, answer questions about it Wednesday at his annual meeting with the media.
