After negotiations with SF mayor Gavin Newsom, yes that Gavin Newsom, broke down, the team announced it’s decision to pack up and move. Theoretically, this could be as soon as 2008 when their lease runs up, although they could always renew it for another few years if need be. So, now the great debate starts. Do they go to LA, Anaheim, or leave California altogether? If they do decide to relocate to, say San Antonio (which wants a team), do they keep the 49′ers name and legacy or do they retire it and become something else entirely? This is Roger Goodell’s first big challenge as commish. Let’s see how well he handles it.

Yeah, and the Saints were actually thinking about moving to San Antonio. Or the Vikings back when McCombs still owned them. It’s a negotiating ploy. And it will more than likely work.
Of course if it fails and they do move Jorge Sedano had a good idea last night…move to LA and become the Gold Diggers. An apt name for the current/future state of affairs that still alludes to the history of the great Republic of California.
Lol!
From what I’ve heard, they’re just moving to Santa Clara. No name change, still going to be the San Francisco 49′ers. Only the 49 will refer to how far away from san fran they are.
