Oh that's right, I now remember why : N - O - L - A - N.
The 49er's real problem isn't N - O - L - A - N -- It's John York and Denise Debartolo-York. As long as those two morons own this team they will never see the playoffs.
They now want Santa Clara do build them a new stadium. They said that if the South Bay doesn't build it then the Niners are virtually sure to leave.
I would be willing to let them leave so long as the team name and logo stay in SF (the "Cleveland Rule"). Then we could bring in new owners and build a quality franchise again.
