Well, A Fella Can Dream - Kings to San Jose

From Ray Ratto's blog.

"Now the fun part. If the Kings were to move, which given their inability to coax a new building out of Sactoville is a possibility, the two leading possibilities are Anaheim, which is 30 miles from two other teams, one of which is the Lakers, and San Jose, which is 40 miles from the thing we call the Warriors."

TO is going to be getting his own reality show on Vh1. Will you watch?

Terrell Owens is joining the celebreality roster at VH1. The Dallas Cowboys star is being filmed for a new show on VH1, the cable network announced on Tuesday.

Terrell’s show, which will be filmed in the off-season, will also feature two of Terrell’s pals, Monique Jackson and Kita Williams, as “matchmakers and therapists” for the NFL star.

Would you want another team in the Bay Area?

Could we, would we have another basketball team in the Bay?

Rick Bonnell: Thoughts on Bobcats' future in Charlotte

Where would you move an NBA team right now that would guarantee profitability? Oklahoma City is gone as an option and the league obviously has sports-book misgivings about moving to Las Vegas. Kansas City has a new arena but it's doubtful that market can support three major-league teams.

So, would any Warrior fans welcome another NBA team to the Bay Area, probably in San Francisco or San Jose? Would you adopt a new team if the the W's continued to stink, the new team played well and/or the new team was closer to you than Oakland? Is it even realistic with the W's and Kings just in Sacramento?

The Bay Area does have two MLB and NFL franchises, could we also support two NBA franchises?

Mike Leach

tenjay — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 22:16:21 -0000

In his weekly MMQB Peter King says an NFL team should hire Texas Tech's Mike Leach.

2. I think if I were an NFL owner looking for a new coach in January, I'd want to interview Texas Tech coachMike Leach. Every NFL team is using a version of the spread offense already, and this guy's got his doctorate in it. His football brain is obviously way ahead of its time, and he might be the next big thing in coaching. What would San Francisco, St. Louis, Cincinnati or Detroit -- or any number of other teams who might make a change -- have to lose?

Think he would be good for the 'niners? Maybe he could get Alex Smith right.

49ers likely to move?

According to this Forbes article, the niners are the most likely NFL team to move, and #6 most likely pro sports franchise to move.

According to this Forbes article, the niners are the most likely NFL team to move, and #6 most likely pro sports franchise to move. I don't think they would count Santa Clara as a move since it's still in the Bay Area. I doubt the niners are going anywhere soon, and I hope I'm right.

Forbes rationale for a move:

San Francisco 49ers
NFL

Value: $865 million (30/32)
Value three years ago: $699 million (26/32)
Market size: 2.2 million (No. 12 nationally)

The Niners have dropped four spots in the valuations rankings since 2005. Revenues are second lowest in the league. If a new football stadium doesn't rise in the Bay Area to replace either San Francisco's Candlestick Park or Oakland's McAfee Stadium (both ancient by modern standard), one of the two teams will undoubtedly move. The Raiders' more passionate fan base makes them more likely to stay--though quirky owner Al Davis has already taken them to Los Angeles and back once.

Alex Smith's future

tenjay — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:43:22 -0000

I still think Alex Smith can be a decent NFL quarterback but we all know it won't be with the 49ers, at least not next year. Since he won't be here, where do you think he could go to succeed? Tim Keown of ESPN and formerly of the Chronicle had an interesting idea in his recent article If you need a quarterback, you probably shouldn't draft one. He said that a team like the Colts with a solid starter like Peyton should pick him up, let Alex sit and learn for a few years under a single offense and coordinator and see how he ends up then. Your thoughts?
