Newsmakers: Two Pro Teams Looking To Bolt Bay Area

THE DAILY each Friday offers our take on the performances over the past week of some people and entities in sports business. Here are this week’s newsmakers

Goodell Quickly Asserts
Authority As NFL Commissioner
WIN: ROGER GOODELL — New NFL Commissioner is establishing his authority early. Fines this week against scuffling players follows a hefty one a few weeks ago against key ally DAN ROONEY for criticizing officials. Broncos Owner PAT BOWLEN: “Roger’s reacting quickly, rather than letting things hang in the air.”

LOSE: BAY AREA SPORTS — There’s still time to get things done, but the A's and 49ers appear to be headed out of town, and what's left may not be all that attractive. The Raiders, whose dismal showing in a 16-0 defeat to the Seahawks leads to the least-viewed "MNF" game ever, are called "irrelevant" and "classless" by ESPN's crew, and it appears increasingly likely that BARRY BONDS will be hitting No. 756 somewhere other than AT&T Park.

DRAW: BREEDERS' CUP — Event sets handle record and third-best ever attendance upon return to Churchill Downs. But while organizers trumpet unprecedented promotion with move to ESPN, ratings don't hold up and the broadcast loses over half its audience from last year. Add to that another racing tragedy, as Pine Island breaks down during the Distaff and is later euthanized.
