PrintIt's true, it's true. There's a hot new crazy that is sweeping the nation. All the kids are doing it!
Pandemics. Pandemics are all the rage right now. And yes, swine flu is a very serious illness affecting many people all over the globe. But oinkfluenza is so 5 minutes ago. Hello, I'm TwistNHook and I have Otter Flu. Not Beaver Flu, that's the mental illness currently afflicted all known Oregon State students, staff, and alumni. Otter Flu. It's toads a diff thing.
Symptons of otter flu: Opening nuts on your stomach; Hardcore Atheism; Incredibly mild flu like symptoms
"PUT YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR AND WAVE THEM LIKE YOU JUST DON'T CARE......ABOUT PERSONAL HYGIENE! via media.thedaily.com.au"
Known cures of otter flu: None.
Side effects of all known cures: Death. Inane media panic.
But don't cry for me, CGB. I had a good life. Just try to learn from my example and live, dammit, LIVE!
Wait, I'm feeling better, I must have survived Otter Flu. IT'S A MIRACLE! Let me check and yes, I'm doing toads great, but now I have Stegosaurus Flu. OH NOSE! STEGOSAURUS FLU!
Transmitted by fucking a prehistoric dinosaur (sorry, Mrs. TwistNHook, luckily you won't have to get a Stego Flu test, because, we're married, so, yknow), Stegosaurus Flu aflicts over 6 people in the continental United States. 6 whole people! Better shut down the school systems! And Alabama sports teams!
It's a terrible, terrible disease, giving most people re-dick names for online chats. Known side affects are being the only person in Jonathon Okanes chats and, also, annoying Jonathon Okanes.

Luckily, there is a known cure for Stego Flu. Interglobal extinction. It's a bit extreme, but it's the only way. I mean I'm not a doctor.................anymore.
PS It's true, I did fuck a stegosaurus. What can I say, I've always been attracted to prehistoric beasts with giant green scaly spikes on their back. That's probably why I dated Cher for those great months back in 2001.
Alright, alright, I'm just joking. Well, not about fucking Cher. That was hot. But the only animal related fever I'm suffering from is Golden Bear Flu. And you don't get it from nailing an animal. You don't get it from going to OSU.
You get it by rocking out to the greatest college in the Marshawniverse. You get it by going Bears. And if this fever spreads, hopefully, soon the entire nation will be going Bears. Heres a potential simulation.

If these numbers hold true, we'll be dominating the East Coast like some sort of modern day Abraham Lincoln. Except less depressed and assassinated-y. GOLDBEARFLU4LIFE! GO BEARS!

Baseball loses to Arizona:
TUCSON, ARIZ. - The California baseball team lost the third game of the three-game series at Arizona, 12-8, Sunday in Tucson. The Golden Bears dropped to 19-26 overall and 6-15 in the Pac-10 with three straight loses (13-4, 8-4, 12-8) to the Wildcats. Arizona improved to 22-21 and 8-13 in league play. Sophomore shortstop Brian Guinn was 2-for-5 with a triple and three RBI, and junior designated hitter Blake Smith went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in the sixth inning and two RBI. Junior center fielder Brett Jackson and sophomore right fielder Mark Canha also had two hits apiece for Cal.
The losing pitcher for Cal was junior left-hander Michael Bugary (3-4), who made his second career start, going 4.0 innings with nine hits, seven runs, two walks and five strikeouts. Freshman right-hander Dixon Anderson pitched the final 4.0 innings with eight hits, five runs, one walk and three strikeouts. The winning pitcher for the Wildcats was starter Daniel Workman (2-1), who threw 6.0 innings with five hits, two runs, two walks and three strikeouts.
Cal scored the game's first run in the top of the first inning when Jackson led-off with a double down the left field line and later scored on Canha's RBI single to left field. The Wildcats came back with four runs in the second inning, one run in the fourth inning and two runs in the fifth inning to take a 7-1 lead. The Bears tacked on a run in the top of the sixth inning on Smith's solo home run to center field to get within, 7-2. But, the Wildcats ran away with the game with four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Cal Rugby falls to BYU in championship game.
Fans of the BYU men’s rugby team poured over the fence just after the final whistle sounded. Cal’s supporters stayed frozen, just like the Bears players themselves.
In one of the more remarkable upsets in the history of collegiate rugby, the Cougars scored 13 unanswered points in the final 18 minutes Saturday night to stun top-seeded Cal 25-22 in the Division I national championship game at Steuber Stadium.
Scrumhalf Shaun Davies converted a penalty kick with less than 90 seconds left in regulation time to give No. 2 BYU the eventual margin of victory, as Cal’s string of consecutive national championships ended at five and its streak of wins against American collegiate opponents ended at 115.
“There was no one deciding factor in the game,” said Bears coach Jack Clark, who was seeking his 25th national title in 30 years. “You’re playing a good team, and they were able to take advantage of little mistakes, I thought. (BYU) played awfully hard in the end.”SFGate’s story on men’s rugby.
The Cougars won their first championship by denying Cal its 25th. BYU’s Shaun Davies converted two big penalty kicks in the final 10 minutes – the second with just over a minute to go in the match – to propel the Cougars to the comeback victory.
“This was the best game we’d played all year,” Davies said.
Cal and BYU have met in the championship three years running, and the Cougars came out on the wrong end the other two times.
“This is massive,” said BYU coach David Smyth, whose team finished 18-0. “This is a monkey off our backs, and we made hard work of it. Four yellow cards against Cal … if I read the story in the morning, I still won’t believe it.”
The Bears (30-2) might share the disbelief, having had virtual ownership on the Division I title since the first one was awarded in 1980. Cal has won 24 since then and had claimed five in a row. The Bears lost their first title game since 2003 against Air Force mainly because they couldn’t score.
“They certainly earned this win,” Cal coach Jack Clark said. “They played awful hard. We are a team that prides ourselves on playing hard, but they matched us.”
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
This might be one of the best DBDs you've put out recently Mr. TwistNHook!
I congratulate you
In other words, Go Bears!
Nate having trouble in Dolphin camp?
Tryout QB Nate Longshore has a very strong arm, but he doesn’t seem very accurate. The Dolphins need a practice squad quarterback, but I suspect they might wait till the first round of camp cuts to poach a draftee from another team. If [Pat] White is going to be learning the offense and running the Wildcat, exactly who is going to be running the scout team offense that prepares the defense? It can’t be Chad Henne, can it?
Sparano said he likes to carry just three quarterbacks in camp because that guarantees his two youngsters will get enough reps….Williams injured to start 49ers mini-camp
Cal linebacker Worrell Williams was at camp today on a try-out basis. Williams, however, is hurt and did not work out. No word yet on the injury.NFL-bound Bears say Best is key for 2009 season.
When I asked Rulon Davis what the Bears’ strength would be, it was surprising to hear a defensive player say, “Jahvid Best.” He went on to say that he thought that Best would carry the team next season.
Sometimes, you fool yourself when you ask a question. Sometimes you think you’ve already figured out what the answer is and you’re only asking it because you’d planned on asking it to begin with. Everytime that you do that, you end up surprised by the response.
When I asked Nate Longshore a similar question, I seriously believed that we’d be talking about quarterback play in 2009. That didn’t happen. “It depends on how well Jahvid Best does,” he answered. “I think he’s the…as usual with most of the good Cal Bears teams, I think we’re as good as our running game.”
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
I’m shocked – verily, SHOCKED I tell you, that Longshore isn’t very accurate.
(Hey guys, does this mean we should stop polishing the statue?)
Still holding out hope that Ryan Anderson will capitulate and grant him that interview he's been asking for for months now.
Don't you know polishing your statue is a sin?

I certainly cannot speak for him, but I would be less than enthused about it. He doesnt want photos of him taken down in general, because he kept the second photo of him in that post still up. But he did, for whatever reason, not want that photo up. So, for you to continue flaunting it is probably not the best course of action.

Yeah
I thought Mayweather Sr’s training would change Hatton’s “go straight in with no defense” style. It worked so well against Kostya Tszyu…. but even in that fight I thought Tszyu could have won just by using some straight rights while Hatton was coming in.
Plus, is it just me or does it seem Hatton’s chin is getting weaker. He used to be able to take an immense amount of punishment…. now he seems to get dazed. Knowing this, you would think he would learn some defense.
Hatton’s career is now over. He got worked over too easily during a PPV fight and didn’t give anyone a show. Plus getting KO’ed in back to back PPVs is guaranteed to get you in the doghouse with HBO executives.

I heard Hatton was pissed with Mayweather's training
Supposedly Mayweather was frequently late to training sessions. But apparently Hatton has used him before so it should not have been a surprise.

Hatton should blame his own damn style. Going straight in works if you can take alot of punches… but if you got a glass jaw, you should learn some defense. I’m sure Mayweather tried to change Hatton but Hatton has to want to change.
Of course it maybe wasn’t Hatton at all… but rather Pacman’s ability to slip the jab and counter with hooks. He kept tagging Hatton over and over with that counter and that’s how Hatton eventually got caught. Embarrassing loss for Hatton… easy victory and great exposure for the Pacman.
Yeah, they’re going to have start finding serious fighters for Manny to fight. It was clear one boxer was on just another level. Hatton was slow, he couldn’t respond off his feet, he didn’t move much laterally. Manny was dancing around him and opening up salvos like a Hellcat fighter.

Serious fighters? Like Morales, Barrera, Marquez, De La Hoya, Diaz, or Hatton? Manny has perhaps the best resume in boxing and has fought everyone. The only guys left are Mosley, Cotto and Mayweather and it’s unclear whether any would come down between Welter and Jr. Welter to fight Manny.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
I'm talking about the last two fights
De La Hoya was way past his prime, and Hatton just looked silly in that fight. Mayweather hasn’t had a serious fight in two years, so we’ll see what type of form he’s in when he comes back. Mosley is probably where Manny should go next.

Hatton was a titleholder though...
…so the fight had that going for it. He may not have been in his prime, but anytime you defeat someone for a title, it’s a big deal.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
I've never seen someone fight the way that Pacquiao does...
…maybe that’s just ‘cause I don’t watch smaller fighters that much, I dunno.
I’ve just never seen someone dodge and punch at the same time. Even if you look at the pic below, his head isn’t where’d I’d expect it to be. It doesn’t seem like he’s stepping into the punch at all, but he still generates power. I can’t explain it very well, but if you go onto Youtube and look at the fight, sometimes it almost seems he’s not looking where he’s punching.
Does that make any sense? Maybe someone who’s seen more of his fights can explain it better.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
If you aren’t watching smaller fighters you are missing the best boxing. Lightweight to Super Middleweight has contained the best fighters for nearly thirty years. The Heavyweight division has become irrelevant because no longer are those fighters between 200 and 225 pounds, they are just too big and too slow.
As for Manny’s punch, indeed it looks like he threw it blind but he knew what he was doing.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
The final punch:
via dailymail.co.uk
Absolutely wrecked. As soon as that punch landed, Hatton was completely out – his body had no movement on the way down. Hell, you can see it in the picture – look how far his head turned with the punch. There’s no reaction to the pain of being hit or anything – he is out. From start to finish, Pacquiao was basically landing punches at will. It was brutal. Good fight to watch though!
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
The shots you take mid-punch or while going in are always the most devastating.
Any chatter on who Manny could be fighting next? I think he should go after Floyd right away… instead of having another pushover inbetween.
He's at the top of his game right now
Floyd would probably put up a better fight, but I don’t like guys who come out of retirement for prize matchups. Pacquiao is in impeccable shape and form right now. I’d say Floyd should wait a year or so before going after Manny.
Bork bork bork!
by Avinash Kunnath on May 4, 2009 1:03 PM PDT up reply actions
I actually think Floyd would win… but I"m not certain… that’s why it’s going to be such a great fight. Floyd may be the only top contender with faster hand speed than Manny and he’s also a great counter puncher.
Floyd is sched to fight someone later this year… this is why the earliest date for Pac/Floyd fight would be Sept-ish 2010. So Floyd would be 33ish and Manny would be 31.
Which is why I want Manny to start negotiations with him now. But that’s prob not going to happen… I bet Manny’s people will want to milk this and put about two fights in between himself and Floyd.
It's savvy though
You can analyze how good of shape Mayweather is in after the two year layoff, see if his form and movements are still at an elite level. Maybe he isn’t as good as he once was and Manny schedules the fight sometime this year, but I’m guessing it’d be early 2010 at best. If Manny’s people negoitated to get Floyd first you’d have NO idea what type of shape Mayweather is in, boxing-wise, and there’s too much risk involved in that.
Mayweather’s scheduled to fight Juan Marquez this July.
Bork bork bork!
by Avinash Kunnath on May 4, 2009 1:18 PM PDT up reply actions
That’s true… but I don’t really care about what kind of shape Floyd is in… before or after Marquez… I just want Manny to kick his ass and shut his big mouth up. That being said, I still think Floyd would win in a decision.
I completely agree. I seriously doubt Floyd is in poor shape, he has fought sparsley for the past several years and stayed on top of his game. I see no reason why that should change.
As for the matchup, it’s a bad one stylistically for Manny. Pacquiao does better with fighters that are more willing to engage and Floyd is a pure defensive counterpuncher. The way Manny attacks, Floyd is going to catch him coming in. The thing we don’t know about Floyd is whether he could take Manny’s power. Floyd has never been hurt and has certainly never got hit by a punch like Manny’s.
It’s a really fantastic matchup and the biggest boxing can put together, I just hope Floyd is man enough to make it happen and go even on the money.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Sugar. Shane. Mosley.
I need to see this fight happen. I know Floyd is back now, but I think it’s interesting that he’d come back to fight Marquez, but allegedly turned down offers from Mosley’s camp. Mosely was never as popular as De La Hoya even though Mosley beat win twice – a pity. I don’t whether Pacquiao would move up in weight or whether Mosley would come down – but Mosley/Pacquiao would be awesome.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
Fighting Shane is dangerous for Manny, I think. When Manny fought Oscar, I already thought the size difference was too great. Shane is not only bigger than Manny, but he’s really, really fast…. much faster than Oscar.
Doin’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to see that fight. However, I think Manny should stay away from Shane.
I just don’t see this happening unless Shane can come down a few pounds to say 144. At 147 that’s a really dangerous fight for Manny. BUT, Shane is no longer a great defensive fighter and keeps his head way to still. I have a feeling Manny takes Shane out in a really fantastic back and forth fight. Note, Shane has a phenomenal chin.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
WE GOTZ A FULLBACK COMMIT FOR 09. YES WE CAN!! SANCHEZ DORELL A-11 BLAH BLAH
Bears Find Their Fullback in Harris
After losing mainstay fullback Will Ta’ufo’ou to the Chicago Bears and earlier jc commit Sean Quinn to eligibility technicalities, one of the biggest unanswered questions from the 2009 California recruiting class involved depth at the fullback position. In Riverside Christian running back Jon Harris, the Bears hope they have found their answer.
A prototype-sized fullback at 6-2/230, Harris was a virtual stat machine in ’08, rushing for 2189 yards and 30 tds on just 298 carries on the year on offense and an amazing 186 tackles, 4 sacks and 1 interception on defense at linebacker for the Cougars.
“I was really excited and pumped when I visited Cal,” said Harris. “It seemed like a great environment for me to be able to grow and I can really see myself being there. That’s not the case in a lot of schools.”
The Cougars, who play in the Division 5 Southern Section in the CIF were section runner-ups, losing 13-6 to Rio Honda in the championship game.
…
A stellar student, Harris will bring his 3.8 grade point average to Cal this fall, so no pulling of strings was necessary for Harris’ admission as a preferred walk-on, and he’ll have a chance to compete for a scholarship down the line if playing time is earned.
WOOT!
In other words, Go Bears!
Ridiculously productive as RB, though I guess it would be a bit of wishful thinking to think he’ll get meaningful reps as a backup RB with the depth the team has there already.

Track does great at Invitational:
The California track and field team gained two more regional qualifiers and won four events at the Payton Jordan Invitational Saturday at Cobb Track & Angell Field on the Stanford campus. Sophomore Kari Karlsson and junior Tracey Stewart were the regional qualifiers, in the 5000 and the triple jump, respectively. The Cal women also secured the top three spots in the women’s pole vault.
“We had some bright spots, but there were some disappointments, as well,” said director of track and field Tony Sandoval. “Kari PRed in the 5000, Martin (Maric) and Shane (Vereen) did very well. Kimyon (Broom) won the 100-meter hurdles fairly easily. Tracey (Stewart) looks like she’s getting on track in the triple jump. Ryan (Shuler) is starting to put it together with the pole vault. Our half-milers ran well considering it was a windy out there.”
Karlsson’s time of 14:06.61 was also a personal best, while Stewart’s mark of 40-6.25 (12.35m) was a season best. Stewart finished in third and Karlsson in 10th. Karlsson wasn’t the only Bear to PR on Saturday, as senior Kandi Bonty clocked a personal-best time of 24.23 in the 200.
In the women’s pole vault, Cal placed first to third with senior Katie Morgan taking top honors with a mark of 13-3.50 (4.05m). Sophomore Allison Stokke came in second (12-11.50, 3.95m) and sophomore Cyrena Giordano took third (12-7.50, 3.85m).

Rugby loses to BYU in National Finals:
STANFORD – California fell to Brigham Young in the national championship Saturday night at Steuber Rugby Stadium, 25-22. Five penalty kicks by flyhalf Keegan Engelbrecht and an Eric Fry try were unable to put enough space between the Golden Bears and Cougars, with Championships MVP Shaun Davies kicking the winning penalty goal for BYU with two minutes remaining.
In the ninth minute Cal (30-2) got the first of several penalty opportunities when BYU (18-1) was whistled for offsides at the Cougar 10-meter line. Engelbrecht booted it through for the Bears’ first points.
A similar infraction at the same spot led to the senior flyhalf’s second three-pointer four minutes later. A 17th-minute whistle for hands in the ruck afforded Engelbrecht his third attempt from inside the 22, and he connected to make it a 9-0 Cal lead.

Good job, you hit them with something that mattered to you (warranty package) but doesn’t really cost them anything. Those warranty packages are so profitable for the dealerships, that they could give them away and not lose money in the long run, and its one of the best things to negotiate.

nah…I’m just happy with a purchase that some could argue was a rushed decision. My wife and I knew we needed a new car…but we didn’t have a definitive purchase date.
We went to see Disney’s Earth…which was basically BBC’s/Planet Earth’s footage on the Big Screen. We decided on going to window-shop for cars.
We looked at the F150’s first (since I really wanted a pickup truck)…but we were shocked at how pathetic the dealership was, the sticker price, and the gas mileage.
Then we went to the Toyota dealership and the rest was history.
The new Tacoma’s are SICK though.

well, we needed to replace my commuter car eventually (239k on my Corrolla from college and it was burning oil). I always wanted a regular pick up truck but not to use it for commuting. We looked mostly to satisfy my inner desires and to get pricing. After buying the Prius, my wife and I both feel like we would have been uneasy with a new truck and a beat up commuter car. We’ll get the 3rd vehicle sometime I suppose when the baby’s ready for Little League and what not.
I like the Prius and how eco-friendly it is.
Screw ‘em. I’ll just enjoy me new back-up camera and other neat little gizmos.

I think American cars in other countries are actually more economical/ecologically-friendly than the ones here….has a lot to do with gas prices in other countries, and the American cars are predominantly 4-cylinder vehicles abroad.
Which just goes to show….if you want people to do the right thing, you have to incentivize them….and I’m all for having high gas prices if it means people make smarter decisions about how they get from point A to point B.

3 national telecasts for football announced:
BERKELEY – At least three California football games have been selected for broadcast on ABC or ESPN2 for the 2009 season, starting with the Golden Bears’ season-opener against Maryland on Sept. 5, the Pacific-10 Conference announced.
The Cal-Maryland contest will kick off at 7 p.m. from Memorial Stadium and will be shown nationally on ESPN2. In addition, Cal’s Sept. 26 game at Oregon will start at 12:30 p.m. and will be shown on ABC, while the USC at Cal matchup on Oct. 3 will start at 5 p.m. and also air on ABC.
Game times and television information for other Cal contests will be released when available. Preseason selections for games airing on FSN or Versus will be announced in early June, while additional games have the potential to be picked up by ABC, ESPN or ESPN2 through the 12- and six-day selection process.
Over the past two seasons, every Golden Bear football game has been televised live, and a total of 73 games have been on TV during Jeff Tedford’s first seven years as head coach.
Although Cal has had numerous games start at 5 p.m. in Memorial Stadium the last several years, the Maryland contest will be the first to kick off at 7 p.m. in Berkeley since the Bears defeated Washington State, 20-17, on Nov. 3, 2007.

It was a good performance by the team, and I’m proud of those guys.”

Softball loses to ASU:
The No. 13 California Golden Bears (34-16, 9-8 Pac-10) dropped their final home game of the 2009 season to the visiting No. 6 Arizona State Sun Devils (38-15, 8-10 Pac-10), 7-2, Sunday afternoon. Senior Gina Leomiti doubled to center field in the final home game of her career.
After a leadoff single in the top of the first translated to a 1-0 Sun Devil lead, the Bears answered in the bottom of the frame. Sophomore pitcher Valerie Arioto started things off for the Bears with a single to center. After Jamia Reid reached on a fielder’s choice, she stole her first of two bases in the game, putting her at second with one out. Senior Gina Leomiti drew walk. With two outs, Reid stole third, giving Cal runners at the corners. A single by freshman right fielder Elia Reid to her ASU counterpart scored Jamia Reid from third. The Sun Devil right fielder bobbled the ball, allowing Leomiti to score as well, giving the Bears a 2-1 lead.
The score remained frozen at 2-1 until the top of the sixth inning. With two outs and runners on second and third, the Sun Devils got a key single to center to take a 3-2 lead. After going 1-0 on the next batter, Cal’s pitcher, Valerie Arioto, was lifted for Marissa Drewrey. Drewrey walked the inherited batter, giving the Sun Devila a pair of base runners with two outs. She lost the next batter as well, loading the bases for Arizona State’s leading power hitter who hit a grand slam to right center to give ASU a 7-2 lead.

Softball beats ASU!
The No. 13/14 California Golden Bears (34-15, 9-7 Pac-10) defeated the Arizona State Sun Devils (37-15, 7-10 Pac-10) 4-2 Saturday afternoon at Levine-Fricke Field.
The start of the game was delayed two hours because of morning rain and poor field conditions after yesterday’s rain out. Once the game got underway, however, it was a crisp, dry day and fairly perfect softball weather.
The Bears took a quick 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when sophomore first baseman Valerie Arioto took a 1-1 pitch over the center field wall. The homer was the team-leading 10th shot of the season for Arioto.
The Bears plated a pair in the bottom of the third. Freshman left fielder Jamia Reid singled through the left side to start the inning. She stole second and then scored after senior DP Gina Leomiti singled into right field. Sophomore catcher Sanoe Kekahuna doubled to bring home Leomiti, staking the Bears to a 3-0 lead.
Arizona State had their an opportunity to take over the game in the fourth inning. After getting the first two runners aboard with no outs. The Bears got two outs without surrendering a run, but starting pitcher Marissa Drewrey had a pair of runners in scoring position. She battled the next batter, but ended up surrendering a walk. With the bases loaded, two outs, she was battling the batter at the plate again, only to brush her elbow with a 3-2 pitch to drive in a run. Drewrey induced a grounder to third to get out of the inning with just the one run.

that's just his style - Jordan was a douche too, but...
…you had to respect his skills. Kobe’s being a douche has to do with the one thing that he and Jordan have most in common – that competitive streak. I’m not saying LeBron’s not competitive, he clearly is. But while LeBron wants to beat you, Kobe wants to humiliate you. Kobe wants to blow by you and dunk that ball right in your smug little face, or throw up that J right in your face even though you’re guarding him like your life depended on it.
Jordan was the same way, but we tend to forget that over time. Doesn’t mean they’re evil people – that’s just how they play the game.

No, the opposite, he gets less criticism (from commentators, etc, if not from Jazz fans) than another player would because of all the drama with his daughter. I’m not disagreeing about the Jazz fans being douches.
Yeah, that’s probably true. He’s actually been slipping this year production wise and the Lakers point guard defense is so atrocious that he has no choice but to flop sometimes.

What free pass? It’s just rude to make fun of that.
Besides, it’s stupid to me that Jazz fans hate Fisher so much when he did so much for them. And the whole reason he went back to LA was for his daughter anyway.
The funny thing, I’ve always been a Lakers fan, and so I hated the Jazz because of Karl Malone and the Pasty Gangsta (aka John Stockton). Once they left, I could respect the Jazz again because they had Boozer and Williams and the hate subsided to a mild dislike. But after the way the fans treat Fisher now, i f***ing hate the Jazz again.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
I always thought it was a "way" for him to get back to LA. I understand
the daughter/family thing (family comes first) but isn’t he away from her 1/2 the year anyway. It just seemed a little fishy to me to cut out on the Jazz and then play for the Lakers right away.

Well, if the family’s in LA, I’m sure his daughter can get more specialized treatment than she can in Salt Lake City – so there’s that. If the family is indeed in LA, he’ll have much more time with her as a Laker than he would as a Jazz.
That said, I didn’t expect him to come back to basketball so soon either. It was surprising, but hey, I don’t know his mind.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
Man, the more you read about it, ........
Following the season, on JULY 2, 2007, Fisher announced that he asked the Jazz to release him from his contract so he could devote his energies to fighting his daughter’s retinoblastoma. play basketball again, he stated that his main concern was finding the right care for Tatum. The Jazz honored his request.1011
ON JULY 27, 2007 (25 days later) he signed with the Lakers.

I believe Derek said he was looking for a contract

Boozer specifically promised the Cavs owner Gordon Gund
That he’d be sticking around in Cleveland with LeBron. The next summer he signed a max deal with Utah.
Gund is blind by the way. Booze really should be sent to basketball hell for that double stupidity.

From wikipedia
After the 2003–04 NBA season, the Cavaliers had the option of allowing him to become a restricted free agent, or keeping him under contract for one more year at a $695,000 salary. The Cavaliers claim to have reached an understanding with Boozer and his agent on a deal for approximately $39 million over 6 years, which he would sign if they let him out of his current deal.
Once Cleveland eliminated the final year of Boozer’s deal, making him a restricted free agent, his agent began to receive calls. He received an offer from the Utah Jazz.
Boozer joined the Utah Jazz in July 2004 for six years and a total of $70 million. 1
Boozer has denied that he made any commitment to the Cavaliers: “There was no commitment. It’s unfortunate how the turn of events went through the media,” Boozer said shortly after signing the deal with Utah. “I’m not a guy that gives my word and takes it away. I think I’ve made that clear.”5 However, Boozer’s agent subsequently ceased representation, and in addition, the former Cavaliers owner Gordon Gund has said, “In the final analysis, I decided to trust Carlos and show him the respect he asked for. He did not show that trust and respect in return.”
I think afterwords even his agent said that he had promised the Cavs that he would stay with them. That’s why he quit Boozer.

JoePa...is he a radical visionairy, too?
Penn State coach Joe Paterno said Thursday night that he has pushed within the Big Ten conference to expand it to 12 teams as a method of leveling the playing field in college football.
[…]
“Everybody else is playing playoffs on television,” Paterno said. "You never see a Big Ten team mentioned. So I think that’s a handicap.
“I’ve tried to talk to the Big Ten people about, ’Let’s get a 12th team — Syracuse, Rutgers, Pitt — we could have a little bit of a playoff.’”
This was Doc Saturday’s quote:
The 12-team/two-division/championship game format pioneered by the SEC is clearly the future for the Big Ten and Pac-10,
Read the rest of it here.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
I would hate a championship game in Pac 10
It basically makes the season schedule somewhat meaningless. I mean Tex Tech/Okla/and Texas all had great conf records, but Missouri got to play in the Big 12 Champ game because they won the Big 12 Southeasternnorthwest division? That’s just lame.
Also, the schedule would be unbalanced and would potentially deprive Cal and USC from playing each other if there were divisions or 12 teams. Not a good idea IMO.

love mike tepper, tho weve all heard the hero story ad naseum.
2 Things worth mentioning:

2) one time at the Bear’s Lair I saw the dude double-fisting entire pitchers. awesome.

I was kind of diagnosed today. Got MRI results back. They think I have a cyst in my brain. Well, at least its not a tumor. Carp, do you want to fill me in on what this means?
I'm old enough to understand. Jerks.
I had a cyst on my neck once. It grew to the size of a high-bounce ball and I had it surgically removed. It smelled like Swiss cheese gone wrong.
A cyst is a benign growth (unlike a metastasizing tumor). It’s completely harmless other than the fact that it’s a growing mass of cells underneath your skin (which pushes other things away).
If they opt to remove it, I think it would be smart if you did it at one of the top notch places around due to the sensitivity of brain (for example, skip the “meh” hospital and opt for Stanfurd’s Hospital, UCSF Childern’s Hospital, or Children’s Hospital in Oakland). Mention it to your parents that you are concerned Sutter or Kaiser or whatever just doesn’t seem up to snuff for your brain surgery. At the very least, get a 2nd opinion from the top notch guys around.
Best of luck.

It’s certainly scary to have something in your brain that you don’t want there, but medical technology to take care of this sort of thing is really awesome. I had my brain surgery over 10 years ago, and I’m guessing things have continued to advance since then. Those surgeons and anesthesiologists get paid thousands and thousands of dollars for every surgery because they are amazing at what they do. So hopefully you don’t need surgery, but if you do, I’m sure they will be able to take good care of you.
Alright, fine, I admit it! "Hydration Technician" really DOES just mean "water boy!"

Over the weekend my girlfriend and I took a day trip up to Lake Berryessa. We drove up through Vallejo before connecting with the 121, 128, and other smaller roads. While in Vallejo I was filled up the gas tank, and paid in cash (to save 10 cents a gallon). Originally I put down a $20, and when I went back in to grab my change, the attendant was staring me down, had a smirk on his face, and an aluminum baseball bat over his shoulder. He gave me my $2.50 worth of change, but what the hell? Furthermore, I was dressed in jeans, a brown Volcolm Tee, and Rainbows.

Voice of the Warriors
A major turning point in King’s career came in 1962, when the Philadelphia Warriors of the National Basketball Association moved to San Francisco and hired him as their play-by-play announcer. King announced Warrior games from 1962 to 1983, through the Wilt Chamberlain, Nate Thurmond, and Rick Barry eras and the team’s only NBA Championship on the West Coast, in 1974-1975.
Franklin Mieuli, the owner of the Warriors upon their transfer to the Bay Area, had worked with King on Giants baseball on KSFO and the Golden West Radio Network, serving as executive producer for the broadcasts.
King was not shy about disagreeing with the referee’s calls during the course of his play-by-play work, and was a notorious ref-baiter. In his most infamous incident, he used an expletive on the air to describe a referee’s call, and the Warriors were charged with a technical foul. He may be the only professional sports announcer ever charged with an infraction during the course of play.
[edit] Voice of the Raiders
In 1966, while continuing to call Warrior games, King was hired as the play-by-play announcer for the Oakland Raiders, then of the American Football League, a post he held until after the 1992 season. For a time, he commuted to Los Angeles when the Raiders relocated to Southern California from 1982-1994. He announced the Raiders’ three Super Bowl victories, as well as countless other memorable games.
Perhaps King’s most famous call came during the Raiders’ infamous Holy Roller game against the San Diego Chargers on September 10, 1978. In the final seconds of the game, Raider quarterback Ken Stabler fumbled the ball forward, and tight end Dave Casper grabbed it in the end zone for a disputed, game-winning touchdown. King’s description:
" The ball, flipped forward, is loose! A wild scramble, two seconds on the clock…Casper grabbing the ball…it is ruled a fumble…Casper has recovered in the end zone!! The Oakland Raiders have scored on the most zany, unbelievable, absolutely impossible dream of a play! Madden is on the field. He wants to know if it’s real. They said yes, get your big butt out of here! He does! There’s nothing real in the world anymore! The Raiders have won the football game! The Chargers….they don’t believe it. Fifty-two thousand people are stunned. This one will be relived forever!

Going back to that Cal-Wazzu game in ’06, I went to the Slingbox broadcast of that game in Memorial, and they piped in Starkey over the loudspeakers. It worked pretty well, other than the radio delay not being in sync with the video delay, so things were really confusing at times.
I really enjoy listening to Starkey when I’m in the stands of the game, actually. Adds a nice touch of color, and I do get occasional injury reports and other information you don’t always get in the stands.

JO reviews QBs from spring practice.
WHERE WE STAND: Coach Jeff Tedford ended the spring by saying the position is still open and went so far to list all three quartebacks as equal on the post-spring depth chart. But Tedford did say that the depth chart as it stands right now is based on seniority, meaning Riley will enter the fall as the No. 1 guy, followed by Mansion and then Sweeney. That’s exactly how it went in the spring as well.
MOVING FORWARD: It’s hard to imagine a scenario where Riley isn’t Cal’s starting quarterback to begin the 2009 season. Yes, Mansion came on at the end of spring, but the sample size is too small right now to consider him a legitimate threat to Riley’s position. If Riley continues his steady play, his experience and leadership qualities should give him the advantage. If Riley’s performance were to drop off and Mansion picks up where he left off in the spring, it could be a different scenario. As for Sweeney, he had an encouraging first spring as a true freshman and looks further along than most quarterbacks in their first year in a program. That being said, inexperience showed up at times and his time appears to be a little more off in the future.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
As for Sweeney, he had an encouraging first spring as a true freshman and looks further along than most quarterbacks in their first year in a program

You have 36 hours in Oakland. What do you do?
This is what the NY Times did.
5 p.m.
1) ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY
Oakland, of course, is a port city, and there’s no better way to soak up some of its maritime history than with a drink at Heinold’s First and Last Chance Saloon (48 Webster Street; 510-839-6761; www.heinoldsfirstandlastchance.com), a waterfront shack built from the wood from an old whaling ship. The place prides itself on looking much as it did when it first opened in 1883. Soon, it was a watering hole popular with seafarers, dockworkers and a budding young writer named Jack London, who the proprietors say wrote notes for "Call of the Wild" there (the square outside is named for him). It’s also a monument to the power of the San Andreas Fault: the Great Quake of 1906 settled the pylons underneath, which is why the floor slants and keeping your drink from sliding down the bar can be a challenge.

Even tofu would taste incredible smothered in the signature peppery-sweet barbecue sauce at Everett & Jones (126 Broadway; 510-663-2350; www.eandjbbq.com), across Jack London Square — but don’t expect to find any soy-based products on the menu. Meat-heavy entree options include beef brisket, slow-cooked over an oak fire, with corn bread and two sides like warm greens and a briny potato salad ($14.50). The kitschy décor features plastic tablecloths and enough black-and-silver pennants to remind you that this is Raiders country. There’s also a back room with live music that ranges from R&B to a regular harmonica player who goes by the moniker Bird Leg.

The Everett & Jones on San Pablo is far superior to the one at Jack London Square. According to the cook there, they use an actual smoker rather than some sort of contraption that they have at their other locations.
Denver Post has a piece on Rulon Davis.
“I don’t even care about that anymore,” Davis said of not getting drafted. “I’m happy I’m with this team. I’m trying to make this team right now and that’s where my focus is.”
Turns out, Cal is one of the few major-college programs to play a 3-4. And Davis became the only pure “5-technique” defensive end the Broncos took last week, either in the draft or as a free agent.
Maybe he isn’t such an underdog to make the Broncos after all. Not with his experience as a 3-4 end. Not with all he’s been through. The challenge of going from undrafted free agent to a 53-man roster? Puh-leze.
“Nothing’s came easy in my life as you can see,” Davis said. “I’ve had to work for everything. Hard work is not something that’s unfamiliar to me.”

HaHa, You're uncomfortable.
Dear Random-Internet-Guys, I need your advice,
Carp, I need to trick my husband Ragnarok into having a kid with me. How did your wife do it?
Berklium, I need to convince Ragnarok that our current dog is lonely and needs another puppy friend. How did future-Mrs. Berklium do it?
Thanks!

That said, ballgame tonight?

it’s not a dollar game or anything, but I was just gonna head over to the stadium a little early and buy a cheap ticket.

I can’t get a response from Rags, but I think we’ll pass. It’s supposed to rain around 9pm… Goodluck and feel free to stop by if you want dinner, drinks. We’re having pork chops.

I'm not sure if this will work with Rags
But Mrs Berkelium said (in a relatively friendly manner) “We’re getting another cat and there’s nothing you can do about it” kind of like she did with the first cat.

She should be like Mrs. TnH and just show up with the animals (slash HD TV, which I was MUCH more fine about) one day.

Its funny
We (me and one of Rags friends) actually got the first dog when Rags was out of town. It went like this:
Me: ‘we should get a dog sometime’
Rags: ‘I guess that’d be okay’
Me on phone to Rags in L.A.: ‘Hey, we found this great dog! You’ll love him!’
and after 4+ years, he finally does
Honk if you think Rags is great!
I am completely expecting that to happen with the second cat. I had no knowledge about our first cat-to-be at the time until she said (on a Saturday), “hey, we’re going to go pick up this cat Sunday.” However, I am glad she asked for my opinion on whether or not we should get the white/black one or the orange one.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
I said we should get the orange: we got the white/black one…
but that’s because the orange one was already gone when we arrived.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
I’ve heard that orange/tabbys are much more popular at the shelters and are adopted much faster than others. Twist should adopt all the black cats that never get no love.
Honk if you think Rags is great!

Seduction + alcohol is an unbelievably successful combo.
I believe the night of conception was the evening following the loss to OSU. Even more reason to listen to Twists’s no-booze policy!
Of course, I haven’t run the DNA gel electrophoresis paternity test to confirm the UPS guy, CBKWit, the USPS guy, that Mark Sloan guy from Grey’s, or that emo kid from Baskin Robins isn’t the father.
Time (and DNA) will tell.

Although, upon reflection, to recreate your situation I suppose I’d have to hope for a devastating loss… pick a game we can sacrifice to this goal.

A game vs. Stanfurd would be more devastating, but I can’t wish us a loss against them for any reason, even one as monumental as this. Sorry.

Tip for rags & other males who want to postpone the baby
- At all costs, do not sit by young families with babies at restaurants, ballgames, coffee shops, movies, etc.
- Switch the subject back to reality (finances, additional schooling, etc).
- Don’t drink alcohol
- Wrap it up and / or invest in male BCP’s.
- Get snipped (Caution: this one’s permanent…mostly). Be prepared to look for new wife/gf.
- Abstinence is the best policy.

Honk if you think Rags is great!
I was gonna say DO sit next to them as, at some point, the baby will likely start screaming like a cat getting sucked into a vacuum cleaner tail first, and not stop, and then puke and poop itself.
i love babies, can’t you tell?

I have to second this advice from Spazzy. I’ve heard the horror stories from my med school friends. Natural birth is not pretty or glamorous. Just imagine screaming, yelling, blood, sweat, tearing, defecating, exhaustion, long hours, crying, all rolled up into one.

On the point of convincing him to have a kid: use me as an example. I am delightful. I was adorable as a baby. Apparently I was a very low maintenance baby as well. My mom said I just ate and slept. And look at me now. I am all you want in a child. That should be enough to convince him.
