To truly enjoy the Vancouver Winter Olympics is to enjoy the imperfections. Sort of like walking to work in San Francisco. The weather isn’t always the best, and sometimes you see people yelling and crying for no discernible reason other than attention seeking. But the scenery’s pretty good,...

Anyone paying any sort of attention knows that hockey isn’t necessarily a hot-button issue on BASG. In fact, the Sharks are usually only mentioned when I throw out quantifiers while complaining about the state of Bay Area sports. As in, “Besides the Sharks, all the other teams around here...

A lot’s been said since Tiger Woods essentially said nothing today. Yeah, he said he’s sorry, but let’s stop acting like that’s the magic word everyone in this country seems to think it is. When you were a kid, and you broke a window, hit your sister or got in trouble in class...

I’m not one to jump on a trending topic and milk it for all it’s worth … actually, that’s exactly what I do all the time. It’s called “blogging.” So I figured there’s no time like 24 hours later to reprint the Q&A I did with Shaun White a year and a...

OK, so I don’t have any confirmation, but I’m about 98% sure I saw Dave Chappelle at around 6:15 yesterday evening. I was leaving work (I work on Market St, between 3rd and 4th), and sitting in front of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, drinking a coffee and smoking a cig, was a dude who looked...

Larry Ellison is rich, he loves attention and he’s a winner, as evidenced by his America’s Cup triumph over the weekend. Chris Cohan possesses only one of those three aforementioned traits. Regardless of what we’ve heard about those tax evasion charges, Cohan is clearly a very wealthy...

After a winter in which the Giants heard their fans’ wishes for a tropical vacation or a luxury car and answered those requests with a few nondescript household appliances, they finally made a splash by doing what we all knew they would: sign Tim Lincecum to a tidy little “stay of arbitration”...

I was in the kitchen a couple nights ago with the radio on when I heard the latest Warriors catastrophe. In a year where season-ending injuries have been as plentiful as wins, the pain in Tim Roye’s voice was evident as Monta Ellis writhed in pain on the floor, clutching his knee. Whether Ellis...

From a 49ers-centric perspective, the right team won tonight. And not just because they defeated this generation’s Dan Marino (more on that later). Ronnie Lott served as the Saints’ motivational speaker before the NFC Championship. Sean Payton played the role of bellhop as his team arrived...

You can have Anna Kournikova, I’ve always been a Martina Hingis fan. It’s not that I have a thing for big foreheads — Tyra Banks is my least favorite non-criminal in the world. I don’t know if it was because I’ve always been a brunettes-over-blondes guy, Hingis’ slightly...
