Your Daily Dose of Sunshine

California Governor Jerry Brown on the (now unlikely) possibility of using state redevelopment funds to help finance new stadiums for the Raiders and 49ers:

Jerry, I hate to break the news to you, but Stanford Stadium no longer seats 80,000 people. Then again, the 50,000 or so that Stanford can accommodate today is still probably 20,000 more than the Niners will need in 2011.

    Based on what I see...a team with no QB, a pending lock out and no early opportunity for a new coaching staff to introduce new offensive and defensive scheme's, Jerry Brown could have thrown out the notion of the Niners playing at their old digs at Kezar Stadium!
