  1. 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.

  2. Important question: will the Raiders be playing in the new 49ers stadium? I was kind of hoping they'd be the team to move to LA (and Jacksonville to Toronto). I don't see the Rams or Vikings moving, and Beerball's post above me suggests that the Chargers will be staying in SD. Yes...rooting for team relocation is a terrible thing, but my priority is first and foremost seeing the Bills stay in Buffalo.

    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).

  3. Well the Anaheim Angles were the Los Angeles Angels for a long time despite being about 50 miles from LA and in Anaheim...so its not that unusual, however, given there was already the Los Angeles Dodgers who played close to Los Angeles they decided it was time to destinguish themselves...the 49ers dont have to do that as their isnt another San Francisco named franchise.

     

    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.

  4. From what I understand, Arlington is about 20 miles from Dallas.

     

    San Jose is about 50 miles from San Francisco.

     

    Right now I can't think of a team representing one city that plays in another city that would be farther than 50 miles.

     

    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.

  5. The 49ers haven't moved to another state, let alone another country.

     

    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

  6. Sure they can. As you say the Jets & Giants play in Metro NY.

     

    The 49'ers will still be in the Bay Area, and they can still keep the SF in their moniker.

     

    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.

  7. The Santa Clara 49'ers? Hey, I guess if the Giants and Jets can be HQ'ed and play in NJ and still call themselves NY...

     

    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.

  8. 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'.

  9. San Fran is stuck on a peninsula, fogged in all the time, and the team has a great history and is accessible.

     

    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.
