26.5KCal hopes to earn first winning streak since 2012
Well, the Bears won a game, so they’ve got that going for them. This week they try for win No. 2, and if that happens it’ll be their first “winning streak” since defeating UCLA and Washington State in consecutive weeks in 2012 (the Wazzu win was also their last win versus a BCS opponent until […]

We here at Bay Area Sports Guy have opted to stay quiet when it comes to the Penn State scandal. After all, this is a Bay Area sports website, and Happy Valley, PA isn’t exactly the East Bay. Or maybe it’s just that a story as ugly as the one that Jerry Sandusky laid out […]

CSN Metrics: June 25-July 1
I have always found what Deadspin did with the “Bristolmetrics” pretty interesting, so I decided to take a page out of their playbook and take a closer look at how much time and to which sports our very own highlight show spends its time on. I set the DVR to record every late night SportsNet […]
