Many moves in professional sports just don't jive with the names- the jazz scene of Salt Lake City, the Blues clubs of St. Louis and the indigenous Grizzly Bears to Memphis; to name a few. Conversely, the San Francisco 49ers are contemplating a move to Santa Clara, CA. While the name may make sense, the move seems rediculous. Moving from one apathetic town to another will put the NFL and the Santa Clara ownership group in a similar position in about 5-7 years (if not sooner). While Steve Nash will be in the front row doing his best Jack Nicholson impersonation, very few others will be there to enjoy Alex Smith pass for over 105 yards/gm (ref. 2006 game v. Vikings).
Go Niners...to another state!
