For reasons I’m still not yet sure of, I decided to watch Comcast Bay Area’s “Life of Brian,” the new reality show starring (and mostly filmed by) San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson. Still not quite sure what to make of Wilson, whether he’s refreshingly honest or perpetually...

On August 7, 2004, I was present for Greg Maddux’s 300th win at Mays Field. As far as milestones go, it was pretty anticlimactic. Maddux had owned the Giants in the years leading up to the game, he was going against the completely forgettable Brad Hennessey, and even then Maddux only pitched 5...

Can’t say I saw that one coming. You probably can’t, either. Based on the Lakers’ pattern coming into tonight’s Game 6 at the Pepsi Center, pretty much everyone who follows the team expected to see a Game 7 on Sunday. That, along with an early double-digit lead for Denver, a technical...

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for Kobe Bryant last night that meant passing. In his postgame interview with ESPN’s Doris Burke (who’s so good at her job as a sideline reporter that it’s unsettling, both for the viewer and Phil Jackson, who’s used to treating...

Before my week-long tour of Southern California, I declared that Aaron Rowand’s contract was actually even worse than Barry Zito’s. That was mostly due to Zito losing 2-1 in San Diego, in part because Rowand struck out in feeble fashion as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning. Then I sort of...

Sports Illustrated recently called Zack Greinke the best pitcher in the game. Johan Santana’s dominance is again paying dividends. Teammate Matt Cain has a better record and a lower ERA. It seems insane to say the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner is flying under the radar, but that’s...

Now that I’m back from my tour of Southern California (question: how many Del Taco restaurants does one area need?), it’s time to see what I missed around here. Let’s see, not much on the baseball front besides a Pablo Sandoval injury scare, the NFL is in its deadest part of the year...

David Stern probably woke up at 4 am this morning in a cold sweat. Nike is rapidly putting together a Carmelo Anthony puppet and debating whether a Hedo Turkoglu doll would scare children. Mike Breen just asked himself, “If nobody’s even watching the games, do I really need to wear my toupee?” We’re...

Besides Damon Bruce and Mychael Urban, this site probably doesn’t have a lot of fans at KNBR 680. Ours is probably the biggest area in the United States where the media refuses to really criticize each other too much. It’s a pretty sensitive area, so even though I probalby consume as much...
