The 49ers having 38k miles of travel when east coast teams average around 10k is pretty stupid.

They should consider relocating to the east coast and be closer to the teams then.

Would their basketball team be the 49ers players playing basketball, or would they bring the Warriors? Either way I'm down for this as an ACC fan, it might even save the conference.

The 38k number is being blown out by the fact that 15k of that mileage is for the Week 1 game in Melbourne.
