Why is that the case in Reno? I haven't spent much time there other than driving through. Usually fly into Reno and then drive to Lake Tahoe for skiing or even a summer vacation. I wouldn't guess that vibe for Reno. But maybe you are correct. What causes that for Reno? I wouldn't see it as a super rich entitled town. It's more of an at the base of the foothills and mountains town. So it's like want to pretend to be rich and entitled? Lake Tahoe really is rich obviously. They don't have to pretend there.

Reno causes that vibe..lol.
Ppl are just kinda ugh there anyone that visits from out of town for any length of time, gets it. Reno has gotten kinda more upscale or higher priced with Tesla, Google and whatever moving up there. Overpriced for crappy weather and distant ppl vibes. Idk I hated it. Was so glad to get out of there. Tahoe is nice though, besides the winter. BA went to McQueen High..NW Reno zone. Entitled ppl in that area haha. Idk Reno was not for me. Place is an overpriced dump lol.

That's interesting. But I heard they are building a lot of new retirement housing. Even for people who have money. Because not everyone wants to live in hot Las Vegas. Plus not everyone is a billionaire to live in Lake Tahoe. LOL. So it's the cooler option and close to the mountains and skiing but not right on it. I guess you could look at it like it's far from places. Depending what you want to be close to. I never minded it much. But I usually just go through the airport and then the rental car counter to get to Lake Tahoe to ski. So I don't have a total realistic view of the place. Just passing through doesn't teach you as much as living there obviously.

"So at this point they get into the practice schedule this week, and they're going to practice this afternoon. Sort of the understanding was that at this point he would practice."pic.twitter.com/T3ogY07hxY

REMINDER: Today at 2:45 pm PST John Lynch will speak to the #49ers media.

Interesting about the practice part. Let's see if he shows up. But the 49ers do usually do a GM conference after the 53 is announced.

What I expect Lynch to say; "No updates here. We are in good communication, still trying to get things done. We love Brandon, want him to be a part of our team. We all understand this is a business..."

Is ther some odd rule that they can only do an extension with BA up to a certain point then have to wait until the off season?

No don't believe so

Someone chimed in on 95.7, that BA was practicing with the team today .

Cam Inman to interview at noon

that would be great news, if so. i don't even care if he gets a contract or not. I just want him to play this year. lol

yeah… If true, it's great either way

Would be interesting if they mutually decided to just have him play on his 5th year of the current deal and become a free agent in the offseason without a franchise tag.

And that is when you fire the FO, why would they agree to that?

That would be really really dumb for the FO to do.

We want to keep BA locked up for as long as we can. You don't just give him away. In that case if you do, you want compensation back for him.

yeah, he has no control over that and would be ridiculous if they did that. if he's playing on the fifth year - we are tagging and trading him next season. no other option.

even if he decides to hold out all year - that's what is happening.

Just throwing out unlikely scenarios since everything else has already been discussed ad naseum.

I hear you, but if I am the 49ers I am not giving up any leverage. Lynch and Paraag have jobs to do themselves. Technically they have been very soft with him.
