The answer, as recorded
Transcript. What follows is a transcript of the video above, in Sir Mells’s own words. It has not been rewritten, and no part of it was drafted for them.
What's going on guys, it's Sir Mills, Georgia State University defense lineman. One time my town has really made me proud was when we bought our first NFL team, the Oakland Raiders that came to Las Vegas. Now they're known as Las Vegas Raiders. But yeah, that was one time that I really was proud of that because we never really had an NFL team before. And Vegas is not really known for sports, you know, we know for all our nightlife and things of that nature. But when we finally bought the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas, the city was beautiful. The city has been supporting the Raiders through their games and stuff through the season. So it's definitely a big thing out here now that the Raiders are here and now that they are finally where they need to be. But yeah, that's one time that my town has actually made me happy.
