NINERS TO L.A.?
Posted by Mike Florio on June 1, 2008, 10:19 a.m.
It might be time for the informal list of teams that could fill the 13-year hole in Los Angeles to be expanded by one.  Maybe two.

With the San Francisco 49ers moving slowly toward their goal of gaining a new stadium, residency in Ed Roski's "If They Come I Will Build It" venture on the outskirts of the City of Angels becomes a possibility.

Bill Soliday of InsideBayArea.com wrote the story that we'll summarize in superficial, sound-bite-seeking fashion right here.

John Semcken, a Roski partner who is in charge of the project, was tight-lipped regarding the situation.  "We are not at liberty to talk about which teams we are or are not talking to," Semcken told Soliday.

In our view, the list of franchises that could relocate to L.A. include, loosely speaking, the Vikings, Saints, Chargers, Jaguars, and Rams.  (We've removed the Bills from our unofficial list because they seem to be destined to move to Toronto, or to at least split time between Ontario and Buffalo.)

Though Semcken wouldn't talk specifically about whether the Niners are one of the teams that could make the move, he implied that the San Fran franchise has yet to commence discussions by addressing the possibility that, if the 49ers wait until after November 2008 to commence discussions, it might be too late.

"I would say if they were not ready to talk to somebody until after that, they would be behind the 8 ball," Semcken said.

Another possibility for the L.A. stadium is the other Bay Area team — the Raiders.

"No comment" is all that Semcken would say about the team owned by Al Davis, which is probably the safest course as to any matter relating to the unpredictable organization currently located in Oakland.

So who will make the move, if anyone?  If we had to guess, we'd say that the Vikings will eventually join their purple-and-yellow predecessors who have done fairly well for themselves as the predominant basketball franchise in Los Angeles after leaving long ago the land of 10,000 lakes.

I always knew the time would come when Brett Favre retired. However, that didn't stop me from secretly hoping he'd keep playing until after I was long gone and dead in the ground.

What can I say. I'm a died-in-the-wool Cheesehead and Brett and the Pack meant the world to me.

I feel like I've lost my best friend. Sundays just won't be the same anymore.

I'm thankful though that I got to see him play in person.

And don't forget kids...it's FAVRE not Farve! ;)

That's how I felt when Steve Young left the 9ers.  It was never the same watching them.

I felt it more with Joe Montana - but Steve was a loss, too.  I used to go to the games when I lived in San Francisco.   

I followed the Jets for years, too... and felt a real loss when Chrebet retired - but his poor contused head couldn't handle another concussion.

ESPN is reporting Favre wants to play for the Packers this year.

DO BEARS WANT FAVRE? "NOT RIGHT NOW"

Posted by Michael David Smith on July 31, 2008, 3:25 p.m.
Even if the report that the Packers would consider trading Brett Favre to a division opponent is correct, it appears that the only NFC North team that wants Favre is the Vikings.

The Bears could also use a quarterback, but they appear set on going into the season with Kyle Orton or Rex Grossman as the starter and don't want to add anyone.

''Not right now,'' offensive coordinator Ron Turner said when asked if he could picture Favre as a Bear. ''Not with what we have. I like our quarterbacks. That's not to say he's not a great player, he's one of the greatest players of all time. I love him. I love watching him. He's a great player. Not at this time and in this situation. We've got two good quarterbacks.''

A whole lot of fans and NFL observers would take issue with Turner's claim that he has two good quarterbacks, but the point remains: The Bears say they're not a part of the Favre sweepstakes. At least, not right now.

QVC is now selling Brett's NY jersey shirts, #4 expensive if ya ask me and I know you didn't! :))

[FreecellFanny]

I tried to buy my Jets jersey the day the trade was announced and the site was down. They sold well over 6,500 within the first few hours.  :)))

However, hubby and I already have our tickets for the Jets v Patriots game on November 13th, my birthday!  :^*

He has been impressive this preseason. Certainly not playing like a rookie.
