Chiefs flag buried under Raiders stadium site in Las Vegas

August 27, 2020 - 3:49 pm

One of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries has literally taken on new depth. A man buried a Kansas City Chiefs flag near what is expected to be the 50-yard line of the new Raiders stadium going up on the Strip. Chiefs fan Chris Scherzer posted a photo of his friend wearing a white hardhat and dark glasses and holding a red and gold Chiefs banner with the inscription “Chiefs Kingdom” on his Facebook page. The Facebook post read, “Flag buried in dirt, encased in concrete, with a stadium built on top of it. Chiefs 1, Raiders 0. Las Vegas.” Scherzer says his friend was at the stadium site when another acquaintance snapped the photo. The plan was to bury the flag where they presumed the 50-yard line would be. The Raiders’ Las Vegas stadium is set to be completed by the 2020 season.

August 27, 2020 - 3:50 pm

Hoda Kotb Joins Savannah Guthrie as Co-Host of NBC’s ‘Today’ Kotb is now officially co-host of the popular morning show after temporarily filling in for Matt Lauer who was fired in November over sexual harassment claims. This has to be the most popular decision that NBC News has ever made. Hoever, Kotb isn’t a completely new face as she co-hosted the fourth hour of the show with Kathie Lee Gifford since 2008. I am pinching myself,” Kotb said. “I think we should send some medics to Alexandria, Virginia, where my mom has likely fainted after hearing the open of that show.” Having two female co-anchors is rare in morning news with the first instance occurring from 2006-09 when Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts co-anchored ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
