Jon Gruden has 'a feeling' about the Raiders and L.A.

Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden said it is “inevitable” that at least one NFL team will be playing in Los Angeles next year, and he seems to have reason to believe the Oakland Raiders will be one of them.

“I have a feeling, just being with the Raiders for a few years, that something’s going on down there,” Gruden, Oakland's coach from 1998 through 2001, said Wednesday on a conference call to preview the upcoming season.

“I have a couple of my sources down there that say it’s inevitable.”

Gruden was responding to a question in which he was asked to rank, on a scale of 1-to-10, the likelihood the MNF crew would be calling a game in Los Angeles next year.
