The Emperor's Pants are down

Does anyone else think Gavin Newsom was caught with his pants down on this one? A new 49ers stadium was a centerpiece of the city's bid for the 2016 Olympics. I believe they have to submit a key piece of the bid by January. As I recall, the Greek's built a small baseball stadium for the 2004 games and now it sits relatively unused. I don't see San Francisco ending up in the same situation, which probably means no Olympics for them. I have no problem with a city playing hardball in the stadium game, but nonetheless the city has certainly created a bit of a mess for itself.
