The Silver Lining has a Silver Lining!
Not only are the loathed Niners going to go away, but the collapse of the whole new stadium proposal means that San Francisco is withdrawing its bid for the Summer Olympics. As regular readers know, my dislike of the Olympics has grown to, well, Olympian heights. So, if the silly games came to the Bay Area, we would be forced to put up with many hours and hours of delays, traffic snarls, business closures, etc., etc., just to have bragging rights over an event that should have been put out of its misery twenty years ago.
Los Angeles wants it, and I say, let it have a permanent home in Los Angeles. A perfect fit, if ever I saw one.

So what about the Athletics move to Cisco Field in farthest Fremont? Pro, con, awaiting further details?
