Wow, two teams in one weekend... Is the "Golden State" Warriors next since the Kings are moving to Anaheim temporarily until Stern allows them to move to Vegas (they could have unis with clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades!)

No way an NBA team ever makes it to Vegas. The benefit of having a pro sports team doesn't nearly outweigh the money they'd lose from having to take all of the NBA games off the sports books. I don't blame the A's or the 49'ers for moving... in fact, I applaud the fact that they're building privately funded stadiums elsewhere. I wish every team in sports did this.

remember you said this after the NBA all-star game in February... Vegas is a smart enough town to work something out. Not like the Maloofs are big players in the town or anything...<sarcasm/>

Do you think they will draw better in Sillicon Valley?

depends on the stadium and the team... You can put a gold ring in a pig's nose, it's still a pig.

The Kings, 49ers, and A's all move in a week. What is going on in California?
