Marshawn Lynch, Real Life Buffalo Bill
There’s some grumbling in Buffalo about choosing Marshawn Lynch with the #12 pick, considering the Bills have had past character issues with running backs (Lynch’s so-called troubles are plenty exaggerated) this decade. But it seems the city is starting to warm up to him after his press conference: Marshawn Lynch was so eager to get […]
Believe: Golden State 111, Dallas 86
There aren’t many words we need to describe this good ol’ fashioned ass whopping the Warriors just handed the 67-15 Mavericks. Baron Davis turning in a Willis Reed-type performance with his injured hamstring (and still looking more energetic than any of the Mavericks), Stephen Jackson shooting out of his damned mind, Jason Richardson nailing daggers […]
Alright Dallas, Now It’s So On
Oh my God. We thought our first Warriors post would be enough to motivate the crowd to show up tonight, but no, Dallas fans had to raise the stakes. Well, they are raised my friends, they are fucking raised. [youtube yrK6aLA1HgA] Ok, Warriors fans. Can you now imagine if the Mavs come back and win […]
So It Comes Down to This
Perhaps the biggest event in Warriors history goes down tonight in Oracle Arena (I’d count the time Rick Barry won the NBA Finals, but no one remembers that series). Now that the series is at 3-2 and in Oakland, the Warriors essentially control their own fate. They’re 48 minutes away from history…or from a return […]
Rocky Topping Into Primetime
Everyone in Commifornia just loves to make fun of the Deep South, mocking their archaic lifestyle, their firecracker fetishes, their deadbeat trailer trash. It might also be true that inbreeding does not produce the most prodigious of offspring, as evidenced at the right. Nevertheless, people can say what they want about the rednecks of the […]
And Mark Cuban Still Breathes
You know, if someone asked us who could come back from a 21 point deficit, we’d probably say the Phoenix Suns. If someone asked us who could blow a 9 point lead with about three and a half minutes left, we would probably say a Rick Adelman-coached team (trust us, we have plenty of experience […]
At This Rate, Baron Davis Will be Our Next Governor
[youtube eqQiu4J1sms] Baron Davis love has become contagious at this point in Northern California, but we can’t wrap up our posting today without showing you this lovely video of him taking a day to work at a local McDonalds, a la Mark Cuban at Dairy Queen. By the end of this video and certainly by […]
Falling In Love All Over Again
(Special from your editor’s sports journal, Get Up Eight Times. This was written after Game 4.) You know, it seems at every point in my life, a basketball team comes along at just the right time to rein me back into the NBA. In the American sports climate, basketball continues its steady decline into the […]
He Isn’t Exactly the Minister of Defense
It’s a late pick and probably the last Bear going to the pros in this draft (only Tim Mixon is left), but hey, we’ll take what we can get–Cal rarely gets this many people out in one year. With the 192nd pick overall in the 6th round, Ted Thompson grabbed Cal linebacker Desmond Bishop. He […]
The Bears Are Whimpering
Well, we promised you a draft update when a Bear got drafted…and, about eight hours later, we deliver. Two more Bears are heading to the next level, one overvalued, one seemingly undervalued. With the 85th pick in the third round, the Seattle Seahawks select Cal defensive tackle Brandon Mebane (6’1â€, 305 pounds). Filling a desperate […]
