Kind of like "The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka."
(Obscure South Park reference)
Those idiots think they have the power to do any damn thing they want. I'm a life long die-hard Niner fan, but I'd love to see them tell "Carole" to F-off and then move to Sacramento.
Just what is the purpose of this legislation? It makes absolutely no sense! She must have a monetary personal reason for this..............
A majority of the Niner's fan base is in the South Bay and peninsula. I think the move is a sound business decision.
"As a Lions fan I feel your pain. "
No doubt about it. There is one subtle difference... the Lions seem to want to win, but they're just incompetent. The Browns, they just don't care. The owner is Al Lehner's son. Randy Lehner couldn't care less about football. In the NFL you make money if you don't win a game and play to an empty stadium. So, ol' Randy bought himself a European Soccer Club to keep his interest. The Browns just provide cash.
I don't know which situation is worse, Lions or Browns. But, there are only a few teams of such monumental failure... Browns, Lions, Cardinals, (the Saints used to be in the club, but seem to be poised to leave).
Pity, the Browns and Lions used to be such good teams.
LOL
LOL!!!.....But they could change their name to the SF Homeless Persons...........Mascot would be a big dancing cardboard box........
This woman would gladly give up my right to vote to get rid of liberal women.
That's the Roselle NFL......Now even the Saints get to be "good". Seems to work for every team except Arizona Cardinals..........
I never even thought of that. It's pretty good spin.
Well, that's because they moved about 500 miles closer to Dolly Parton's home town.
What, back in the 50s? (I wasn't even born then)
Actually, Oilers would work in San Francisco. :)
Didn't they (and Baltimore) have a contest to propose the new name? I think the Texans did too. I wish the Texans were known as the Dreadnoughts.
LOL
The Cards' time will come (pass the Kool-Aid, please).
I root for them. It's hard not to like them. They have some impressive candidates for coach. Rivera, Cameron, Sherman, Whisenhunt, even Norm Chow. The belief that he will be the one to finally turn the Cardinals into a winner is a strong incidentive in luring candidates there.
"What, back in the 50s? (I wasn't even born then)"
Up until the 70s the Lions had some decent teams. The Browns had some good teams up through the 80s. Now both are in the same miserable abyss.
The Saints turned it around, but I can't see the Lions or Browns doing it for a loooong time.
Whoever brings in the most tax revenue has the most rights. There's a certain, twisted logic to it. Must be what the Democrats mean by "fundamental fairness". ;)
The Dreadnoughts would be a great name!
Oh once in a blue moon Detroit would make the playoffs, but I don't think they ever made it in back-to-back years. Although I did enjoy the one year with "Cocaine" Wayne Fontes at the helm when they destroyed the Cowboys in the playoffs before losing to the Redskins in the NFC Championship Game.
