Who Had The Better Week 1, Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre?

You are likely to hear these two names mentioned in the same sentence a lot this season: Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. There is really no way around it for Rodgers, the unproven new Packer starter, who is going to be under the public microscope for the entire season as his stat-lines are compared to [...]

Can He Still Ghost Ride?

In the grand tradition of smooth public relations, Marshawn Lynch’s vehicular saga concludes on a Friday afternoon. Marshawn has issued a public statement, pleaded guilty to “failing to use due care towards a pedestrian,” and received a whopping $150 fine. The only punishment of any consequence is that Marshawn has to surrender his brand new [...]

Cal Gals: Ryan Langdon

Our contributor Danzig is currently indisposed, so I’ll be reviving this long popular series. Ryan Langdon is another one of those rare talents that we just never get to see enough of at our esteemed University. She emerged with degree of architecture from Cal, and is now down south in LA to become a successful [...]

The Bears are Lawyering

For a lawyer, it’s a little surreal to see the Cal fan community so completely immersed in legal issues of late.  I take this all as proof that we’re collectively going through a dangerous bout of offseason withdrawal.  In any case, legal news is the order of the day and, being a Cal-bloggin’, law-talking guy, I gotta [...]

POWE-ND

So I just got back from Vegas, and despite all the money I’ve lost right now, I feel quite vindicated. While some of you doubters might have thought that the NBA Finals was the Powe-show, I don’t think any of you are doubting now. Oh yeah. As we get ready for Game 3, it’s time [...]

Leon Powe is Roaring

The NBA, where 4 points 4 rebounds in nine minutes happens. They might be talking about Paul Pierce’s fake knee injury and KG’s thunder dunking and Kobe making nine of the most amazing shots ever (and missing seventeen of the most amazing shots ever). But on the Best Coast, this day belongs to Leon Powe, [...]

Breaking News: Marshawn Lynch’s Car Involved in Hit-and-Run

This sadly does not involve a football cart, Beast Mode, or a stampeding herd of bison. Nope, this is serious business. Multiple sources tell 2 On Your Side that the Buffalo Police Department is investigating a hit and run accident involving a car registered to Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch. Sources close to the [...]

Cal Girls: Sumi Das

Listen, I’ll be the first to admit: I can’t watch Bollywood movies without breaking out into open laughter. Whenever I see guys doing Jazz-hands, I’m gonna start cracking up no matter what.* However, that doesn’t mean Indian ladies don’t have their laurels. Sumi Das is probably one of the most striking and recognizable Cal grads. [...]

Cal Gals: Morgan Webb

Morgan Webb is one of those Berkeley treasures that makes you happy to be alive. A true hot nerd who loves playing video games. She’s the only reason I’ve ever stopped to watch G4. She makes me feel love inside. She makes me hope that one day, I will be able to associate with beautiful [...]

Cal Gals: Iliana Fischer

The audience asked for beautiful Cal gals, and I have obliged. From the Superficial (and thanks to Bear Insider), meet Playboy Playmate and Psychology-grad Iliana Fischer. You can view better pictures of her from the Superficial link, but it seems the tiny dog gets the best of this image. This is just to show proof [...]
