I felt like today was a perfect time to re-release this old vintage story, a feature I wrote about Nate Schierholtz back in May of 2007. The headline above is the same one used in the now-defunct Danville Times, the weekly insert in The Contra Costa Times that I used to write for, and I found it rather...

In the 1995 NFL Draft, the defending Super Bowl Champion San Francisco 49ers traded a boatload of draft picks to the Cleveland Browns to move up to the No. 10 overall pick and select the wide receiver they coveted above all others (including Joey Galloway): J.J. Stokes. We make fun of the Raiders’...

Adam Duritz, Chris Kirkpatrick…Manny Ramirez? The former two are singers who’ve gone the way of the weaved dreads. In Duritz’s case his fake locks helped him bag a pretty shocking list of hot actresses, while Kirkpatrick’s phony-farian look simply made him the most ridiculous...

Utah’s precipitous fall from title contenders to getting waxed in the first round was one thing, but it was another game last night that showed just how wide open the Western Conference might be next season: the New Orleans Hornets losing by 58 points to the Denver Nuggets. It was a home loss so...

I guess I could call customer service, but I have a bunch of links to dump here so I figured I’d vent about my cable box here first. First off, congratulations to Brian Wilson for apparently dominating the Dodgers in the ninth inning tonight for a nice little comeback save after blowing one yesterday....

Watching Lamar Odom tonight as the Lakers finished off Utah four games to one, it seems like he’s changed. One nearly forgets last year’s Finals, when he was out-hustled by everyone from P.J. Brown to Leon Powe. It was a series of missed free throws and hangdog expressions for Odom, such...

Athletes have long complained about the media, likening them to a group of opportunistic leeches gleefully detailing their every misstep. The athlete/reporter relationship will never return to what it was decades ago, when beat writers drank with baseball players in train cars and hid their personal...

In my six years living in Santa Cruz (1998-2004), my favorite source of cheap entertainment was the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (along with the Skyview Drive In, which closed unfortunately after a glorious run of $6 double features under the stars). 50-cent night, which changed to 60-cent night during...

The first day of the NFL Draft was an absolute tour de force by the San Francisco 49ers, who lucked into Michael Crabtree with pick No. 10 and followed that up by trading their second round pick (No. 43 overall) and their fourth rounder (No. 111) for Carolina’s first round pick next year. Wow....
