Lost my drink with that one.

You say you don't f*** on the first date, well f*** you b***h I ain't goin to wait'. Shake your ass, and me so horny for sure. But on the fun and light frivolity side, I always appreciated 'It's your birthday'', though I don't remember if that was a luke solo joint.

Goodell would like them to share the stadium much like the meadowlands. There have been periodic rumblings in the local press that the Imperial Grand-dad isn't down with that. Don't know why though. Based on the last game I attended at the Stick, the 9ers fanbase has the about the same criminal content as that of the Raiders (minus the Vader fetish wear).

The Angels franchise started in the City of LA before moving to Anaheim and changing their name to the all encompassing 'California' Angels when they moved to Anaheim. They were the LA Angeles for 5 years when they actually played in LA. The latest name switch is a gimmick. None of my friends or relations living in the OC consider it 'LA'; and friends and family who live in the city and county of LA certainly don't cop to some geographical naming reciprocity with the OC. Only folks without an understanding of an area make such assertions. When the Giants were holding out for a new publicly funded stadium prior to Pac Bell, SJ came a courting. The Giants were prepared to replace their 'SF" with 'SJ'. And justifiably so. San Jose is a larger city than SF and merits its distinct team status: we don't call the Sharks the SF Bay Area Sharks.

The proximity to SF is an issue vis a vis name retention, but the crux is that they're moving on the doorstep of a more populous city. Outside of the cynical marketing ploy of the Angels, I can't think of a precedent in major league sports.

Run Juice, Run!!!

Does it go to eleven?

Santa Clara borders San Jose which is the 3rd largest city in the state.

Besides the point. We had the Warriors cross the bridge and drop the SF tag (while trying to garner state-wide support with their naming convention). The Raiders moved to LA and became the LA Raiders. Had the Giants been lured to San Jose before Pac Bell Park, they would have used the SJ prefix. I concede though in all likelihood, the 49ers have more season ticket holders on the Peninsula and Valley than in the City and County of San Francisco

You're probably right. But remember, the Chef is a johnny come lately to Yerba Buena.

Absurd argument. Call the team SF when they are essentially are hqed and play 50 miles away in San Jose? Conceptually, I get the whole Bay Area vibe thing, but it would be like the Bills moving to Hamilton and retaining the Buffalo place-name. As preposterous it is for the Jets and Giants to call themselves NY, NYC is 12 miles away and still by far the most populous city in that region.

Jet and Gints play in Metro NY. If the Niners move 45 miles to Santa Clara, they are 5 miles from San Jose which has a larger population than SF. There's no way they could legitimately claim SF in their moniker.

I bet leif larson can squat 8 large.

Bad thing, man.

That hurt, but the obsession with a guy who distinguishes himself more for his homeboy haiku than his play is baffling to me.

In five years, no one will even know Donte existed.

OJ mach 1.

One of my favorites as well. I had a 45 single that Lou put out called the 'The Sounds of the Season' during the Knox era: Chorus: "These are the sounds that a winning team makes, we're making lots a noise cause we got what it takes. We're the knock em down, run around, talking proud, Buffalo Bills'.

Well, sink your teeth into that. How about Lickity Split or Bricks/Mortar?

No Talas?

Gamecocks

Wonder if this pick was just to spite A.J.

Brian, Lauri and I send our love.

The City is hardly fogged in all the time, especially during the bulk of the football season when we see our best weather. Candlestick is in the Southeastern part of SF among the most sunny of micro-climates in the City. Part of the SF stadium brouhaha is exactly about accessibility, and how the Stick, though on a major transportation artery, has major egress problems (and is antiquated and is perched on a toxic site). I'd like the Niners to move back into the park with an updated Kezar - now that's centrally located.

You should have been a consultant to Shane Conlan.
