Now that the 49ers and Santa Clara have shaken hands on a feasibility study for a new NFL stadium, it's time for state Sen. Carole Migden to abandon what is probably the dumbest bill introduced in the Legislature so far this year.
The only good thing we can find to say about her legislation -- SB 49 -- is that it's aptly numbered.
The bill would block cities (read Santa Clara) or counties from using public land to attract NFL teams within a 100-mile radius of an established team's home stadium. Santa Clara's city council Tuesday voted unanimously to conduct a six-month feasibility study with the 49ers on a new stadium on city-owned property near Great America.
Simply put, the San Francisco Democrat is doing her part to try to block the 49ers from moving anywhere in the Bay Area, or even Sacramento, for that matter.

Here is something completely different...

Ok i'm lost after reading that plus I just woke up and suck at geography. Is Santa Clara in San Francisco? Or will they be called the Santa Clara 49ers? How about the San Francisco 49ers of Santa Clara like the brilliant move by baseball's Angels?

Santa Clara belongs to the San Francisco Bay Area, which includes Oakland, San Jose, Fremont, Alameda, Concord, Pittsburg(spelling is correct, this is not the home of the Steelers), Santa Rosa, etc. The pro sports teams in this area are:

1. 49ers
2. baseball Giants
3. Athletics(A's)
4. Raiders
5. Warriors
6. Sharks

I'm sure everyone has heard about at least these teams. If you are interested in the area, Google has a pretty good map search system, including satalite overheads.
