Let's just say relations between the 49ers and San Francisco could be a bit better right now.
The legal claim is basically saying the city of San Francisco was your everyday basic slumlord in regards to Candlestick. Nothing got fixed, everything fell into disrepair and things kept on breaking. To which the city of San Francisco referred the matter to their legal people which is what people say when they know they're in legal trouble.
In other news, the idea of the Raiders and the 49ers shacking up together quickly got shot down by pretty much everyone involved. And thank God too because somehow the name Santa Clara Raiders just doesn't seem as intimidating. Actually, there's a part of us that liked this idea only because it would be like some "Odd Couple" sitcom with two people moving in with each other, one a wine sipping Yuppie from Marin and the other a beer-bellied biker dude with an affinity for wrestling. Talk about hilarity.
