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 […]

Marshawn to Plead

While I was watching the ridiculous finish of the Croatia – Turkey match, news broke that Marshawn Lynch will plead guilty in his hit-and-run case.  Not at all a surprising result.  It’s definitely in Marshawn’s best interests to put this business behind him.  Then we can go on associating the terms “Marshawn,” “Hit” and “Run” with Oregon ’06 rather than May 31st […]

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. [youtube NWy1gcJ9d_0] Oh yeah. As we get ready for Game 3, […]

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, […]

The Bears Are Hiding (Links for 06/04)

There is still no big update on the Lynch investigation, but it is looking grimmer the longer time goes by. Check the Buffalo Rumblings link below for more details. Buffalo Rumblings: If Lynch positively absolutely wasn’t anywhere in the area–much less in the vehicle–I can’t see a rationale for him not stating publicly that he […]

Should College Athletes be Booed?

So I’m staring at pictures of 3-4 defenses, trying to dissect what exactly to expect from next year’s defensive them, when Hydrotech comes along and troutslaps me with these nuggets from the San Francisco meeting. *Tedford emphasized that no player on the team should ever get booed. The players are giving their best and have […]

The Bears Are Roaring: Week of 5/21

Big movement brewing to Gold Out Memorial Stadium (with the students in blue to have a Gold C form the stadium). I was thinking about travelling next fall, but if the fans keep on coming up with great suggestions like this, I might just buy season tickets. I’ll have to ponder it. DeSean Jackson sits […]

KC Cal’s Weekly Super Fantastic Happy Explosion Awesome Article: On Bloggins and Hearing From Nasty Nate

Yesterday, Avinash wrote a trite and insightful piece on his take about the Bissinger-Deadspin controversy. It is true that sometimes we like to mock and joke on our favorite team when they’re down in the dirt just a little. Yet at the same time, I also ask the question: is that so bad? Lately, there […]
