Don’t expect a full season from Stephen Curry
Don’t expect a full season from St...
Stephen Curry’s got it all: the pedigree, the looks, respect from coaches and media members, a starring role on a Warriors team that will let him do whatever he wants, the ability to write “Member: Team USA” on his resume, and recently, the No. 7 spot on Matt Buser’s fantasy basketball...

5 reasons why Warriors fans need to Melo out
5 reasons why Warriors fans need to Melo...
Carmelo Anthony will not always be a Denver Nugget. He will play for a different NBA team, maybe this season, definitely the season after that (whether that season would start in 2011 or 2021 is anyone’s guess). But regardless of what Adrian Wojnarowski tosses out there, anyone who believes that...

You have to think we’re in for at least another year or two of having Brian Sabean as the general manager of the San Francisco Giants, increasing to what is already the longest tenure of any active GM in Major League Baseball. Aubrey Huff was signed before this season for far below what his market...

Surviving my first high school reunion (and some links)
Surviving my first high school reunion (...
When I told people I was taking off for my old hometown of Eureka for my 15-year high school reunion instead of a standard 10-year or 20-year shindig, most of them figured I was a part of the most spirited high school class of all time. Exactly the opposite, in actuality. We didn’t have a 10-year...

“I have a philosophy about building a basketball team. I, as you know, was involved with the Celtics. And I really believe that you need three great players if you want to go far in the playoffs and potentially win a championship. Two gets you in deep into the playoffs — two GREAT players....

The Warriors signing Jeremy Lin is a little bit like the Giants signing Shinjo. It makes more than a little sense for a Bay Area professional team to take fliers on Asian talent — however marginal — but you wish they’d throw in a Yao Ming or an Ichiro every now and then. Sorry to be...

Went beer tasting yesterday. OK, that’s not really accurate. When you go wine tasting, they have those buckets you toss your unused wine into. “Hmmm, this one is too young. No thank you, wine pourer. I’m leaving room for the food you aren’t providing.” (Yes, you’re...

Chris Cohan has never cared about winning a championship. One doesn’t do everything he can to avoid the luxury tax, swallow trade exceptions and allow people like Robert Rowell to negotiate contracts if the overriding goal is rings. Cohan won his version of a championship ring today, when he sold...

Well, it’s sort of our fault. Well, not OUR fault, since I doubt many of you reading this made it to the 2000 NBA All Star Game in Oakland and booed Chris Cohan when he and his son made their infamous on-court appearance. But Cohan seems like a vindictive soul, one who won’t rest until he...

Alright kids, before we get into this week’s edition of “Rampant Speculation,” let’s talk a little bit about JaMarcus Russell. I apologize for missing this while I was on vacation, but I laughed for 15 minutes straight after I just found out that Russell got arrested for sippin’...
