| San Francisco, CA (MySportsbook) - The San Francisco 49ers may be relocating to the city of Santa Clara. The team announced that it will shift its efforts to build a new stadium from San Francisco to Santa Clara after deciding to not go forward with the public approval process to undertake the project at Candlestick Point. The 49ers, their development partner, Lennar Corporation, and San Francisco officials had been studying over the last year to see if Candlestick Point could support a new stadium. The 49ers' |

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -The San Francisco 49ers intend to replace dingy Candlestick Park with a state-of-the-art stadium - and now they want to do it in Santa Clara. After years of planning for a stadium in the city that has been the franchise's home for six decades, owner John York officially changed his club's focus Thursday from Candlestick Point to this Silicon Valley suburb 30 miles south of San Francisco. While insisting the 49ers never will leave the San Francisco Bay Area or change their name, Yor |

But in a news release announcing the decision issued late Wednesday night, York said the team will not change its name even if he decided to move. ``Nothing will persuade us to change the name of the San Francisco 49ers, one of the most storied brands in the world of sports,'' he said. According to the release, York made his decision after a yearlong study of the area around Candlestick Park determined that the area needed too many infrastructure and public trans |

The longtime backups were added to the San Francisco 49ers' starting lineup on defense last week, and both played big roles in revitalizing one of the NFL's worst schemes. Moore was named the NFC's defensive player of the week after the linebacker had 14 tackles and a sack in the 49ers' 9-3 victory over t |

The Cardinals are coming off their bye week, and have lost seven in a row since a season-opening victory against the San Francisco 49ers. Dennis Green will have his team ready for this one with quarterback Matt Leinart, running back Edgerrin James and wide receiver Anquan Boldin in the fold. |

| (MySportsbook) - The next time a San Francisco-Minnesota sporting event produces a final outcome of 9-3, the box score had better include names such as Torii Hunter, Joe Mauer, or Barry Bonds. The Minnesota Vikings' road loss to the now-3-5 San Francisco 49ers was a dull clunker for the ages on Sunday, with the two teams combining for just 371 yards of total offense, four field goals, and of course, zero touchdowns. Whether the Vikings will admit it or not, it has to be disheartening to see their offense post j |
