For Chunged, it's all about matchups
Chunged would have an easy time with a lot of the other memes in the field. But Chunged doesn’t really have an answer for The Maharg. Chunged is very Marshawntastic, as we all know, but The Maharg gives TuckNJersey an unstoppable force that Chunged might not be able to overcome.

With that matchup, we didnt think TuckNJersey would blow up like this. Afterall, it was just a minor joke from like 9 months ago. Nobody really brought it up much after September. Thats why the seed was so low. But I guess conceptually it was such a hit that the rebirth looked past the fact that it hadnt been used much in so long.

On Barcelona's defeat of Chelsea
The Champions League got its dream final.
Manchester United will face Barcelona at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on May 27, giving soccer fans a showdown between the top clubs in the English Premier League and Spain’s La Liga standings.
While United had little trouble defeating Arsenal 4-1 on aggregate Tuesday in the semifinals, Barcelona was minutes away from a Champions League exit at the hands of Chelsea on Wednesday.
The Spanish club would live to see another day thanks to midfielder Andres Iniesta, who scored in the third minute of injury time.
Game ended up on a 1-1 tie. Chelsea supporters are pissed off at the refs, with some allegations being floated that the refs were bought.
I don’t really watch much soccer, but this was an exciting match and controversy is always fun.
JAI HO!
Chelsea blew it...
They had enough chance to put the tie away over the two legs….Iniesta’s goal in the 93rd minute shouldn’t have mattered….
Even though, some hilarious bad sportsmanship from the Chelsea players after the final whistle…ho hum. Drogba shouting into cameras about it being a “fcking disgrace” haha…
Waaaaaaa
Chelsea are a bunch of babies. Never mind that Abidal’s red card was because he standing 3 feet away from the Chelski player. Not a red card in this or any other universe.
Was the ref crap? Sure, but the Blues have gotten their fair share of dodgy calls over the years so I’m certainly not crying for them.
Joe Starkey...Scholar, Humanitarian, Cal legend, worst radio play by play man of all time.
exactly...
all this nonsense about the ref being in Barca’s pocket and trying to get them through ignores the fact that he (wrongly) sent off a Barcelona player prior to their goal….
I was laughing long and hard when Iniesta’s shot went in…
Ballack was a f'in baby
he should’ve been sent off during the injury time when he basically pushed the ref for not calling a hand ball in injury time and followed him down the field yelling in his ear – all when it was obvious the ball hit the back of the dude’s shoulder. Chelsea blew it! Stop your whining cuz you’re a “fin disgrace.”

The beginning was even worse when he actually made more physical contact with the ref
he does deserve at least a 5 game suspension.

I thought it was funny how the ref thought he could outrun a soccer player
[although pro soccer refs are in good shape].

Darius Heyward Bey vs/ Michael Crabtree
Obviously, these two have been linked together by the fact that the two teams that picked them are right across the Bey (hohoho) from each other. You can find tons of articles out there about this. Youtubing, though, I thought these were interesting:
And you don’t even have to watch a draft party for this… listen to the reaction to the Raiders’ pick
JAI HO!
And an awesome comment on youtube:
but i think heyward bey will be good when he is a vet cause you can work on cathing, he has good work ethic already…and u cant teach speed.
Yeah, it’s okay if the WR can’t catch… we’ll teach him that!
JAI HO!
Lashaun Ward
is a testament to the fact that “you can work on catching, he has good work ethic already…and u cant teach speed.” All his hard work has made him one of the top receivers in the NFL!

So I’m looking at NFL draft stuff. I was looking at who had the best results for certain drills. I came across this webpage at the NFL.com website which attempts to explain what is a 60 yard shuttle drill.
Specifically, look at the picture:
And look at the text:
The only difference between the 60-yard shuttle and the 20-yard shuttle is that instead of running five yards, 10 yards then five yards, the players run 10 yards to one side, then back 20 yards and then 10 yards to the starting point.
Perhaps I’m missing something, and I really might be missing something because I’m not exactly good with numbers aside from measuring cups (culinary school), but isn’t 10+20+10=40? And 40 =/= 60, right?
Am I really that stupid or did NFL.com just explain a 60 yard shuttle with only 40 yards?
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
I don't get that graph either
Alternate graph
The 60 Yard Shuttle is the same thing as the 20 yard shuttle but instead of 5, 10, and 5, it is 10, 20, and 10. The 60 Yard Shuttle is the combine’s best test of conditioning.
The Drill: From a starting line, a player runs 5 yards and back, then 10 yards and back, then 15 yards and back. He must bend down and touch the line at each 5-, 10- and 15-yard interval, for a total of six touches.

WHAT THE FUCK?
Rishi, royrules, this news is bumming me out.
“Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler’s autobiography, is flying off the shelves at Indian book stores as business students look to Germany’s former dictator for inspiration, the Telegraph reported.
Indian students see the book as a self-improvement and management strategy guide, sources told the British newspaper.
“The initial print run of 2,000 copies in 2003 sold out immediately and we knew we had a best-seller on our hands,” R H Sharma, Jaico’s chief editor told the newspaper. “Since then the numbers have increased every year to around 15,000 copies until last year when we sold 10,000 copies over a six-month period in our Delhi shops.”
Self improvement and management strategy guide???
Bork bork bork!
Have you ever read it?
I haven’t so I can’t comment but I’ve seen comments from many famous people about haw fascinating it is. Tiger Woods being one.
Joe Starkey...Scholar, Humanitarian, Cal legend, worst radio play by play man of all time.
I'd have to say it is interesting
but definitely not a “self improvement and management strategy guide.”
But I can’t blame the students in India, it’s not like they can look up to any modern day Indian heroes who led to the peaceful overthrow of British imperialism or anything.

Um, it was with his relatives...
As part of these experiments, he initially slept with his women associates in the same room but at a distance. Afterwards he started to lie in the same bed with his women disciples and later took to sleeping naked alongside them.42 According to Gandhi active-celibacy meant perfect self control in the presence of opposite sex. Gandhi conducted his experiments with a number of women such as Abha, the sixteen-year-old wife of his grandnephew Kanu Gandhi. Gandhi acknowledged "that this experiment is very dangerous indeed", but thought "that it was capable of yielding great results".44 His nineteen-year-old grandniece, Manu Gandhi, too was part of his experiments. Gandhi had earlier written to her father, Jaisukhlal Gandhi, that Manu had started to share his bed so that he may “correct her sleeping posture”.44 In Gandhi’s view, the experiment of sleeping naked with Manu in Noakhali would help him in contemplating upon Hindu-Muslim unity in India before partition and ease communal tensions. Gandhi saw himself as a mother to these women and would refer to Abha and Manu as "my walking sticks".

Avinash, you failed to explain here (although you did it below) that when you said the word “sleep” you literally meant “sleep.” Theres no evidence that Im aware of that anythign sexual went on. It was like a test.
I never made a joke about this in the Digger Phelps DBD.
So, you think being the man who both birthed and saved America would be enough? No, he had to take his show on the road. He’d fought Britain before, he said “LET’S DO THIS THING! AND THIS TIME LET’S DO IT AFTER LOSING 100 POUNDS!” So, going undercover as a street-wise gutter punk, he got his cotton, he got his salt marchers, and he challenged the British to a Swaraj-off. SWARAJ-OFF! IT’S A SWARAJ-OFF! He swarajed like he’d never swarajed before. And believe me, nobody has ever swarajed like Digger Phelps. Not even Swaraj Jones. And that is a guy who has been caught swarajing a time or two.
Plus (!), salted cotton was this centuries’ stove top hat! Except less delicious.
Plus (again!) (!), he covered his bald head in oil and rubbed it all over women for sexual pleasure. Ok, thats merely a Seinfeldian fabrication, but Digger Phelps did sleep (merely sleep) next to teenaged women to test his purity. That Digger Phelps, he so non-kinky!

Gandhi was a great man and did a lot for the country. He did, however, screw up a lot of important issues that have played out in modern-day India.
I feel that him and, more importantly, Nehru screwed up a ton in India’s future.
Also, the view that is taught in schools in America, that Gandhi basically fought the British himself, is both inaccurate and a slap in the face to patriots like Bhagat Singh, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, etc.
Not at all that this is reason why Mein Kampf is flying off the shelves. Just wanted to provide some colour.

American history is written from the point of view of the individual — Washington, Lincoln, Rosa Parks. For some reason we can’t possibly fathom movements of people or changes in ideals. I’ve heard that English history is taught this way, but it all seems like a pipe dream.

it is (from the point of view of a personal biography, not really an auto biography) a book about self-improvement and management/governance strategies.

There are thousands of fine books on self-improvement and management/governance strategies. They chose the dude who was responsible for the deaths of 20 million people and the total destruction and dismemberment of the country he utilized these strategies for.
It’s a fine look into the psychology of Hitler. But self-improvement? His persona didn’t really change from the moment he couldn’t sell his first art painting.

APR Info:
BERKELEY – Each of the University of California’s 25 NCAA-sponsored athletic programs exceeded the required minimum score on the 2007-08 Academic Progress Rate (APR) report announced Wednesday, with 18 sports showing gains from last year’s figures.
The APR was developed by the NCAA to gauge schools’ academic accountability and provides a “real-time” snapshot of academic success each semester by looking at the current progress of every student-athlete. Now in its fifth year, the APR measures the eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes competing on each team, in addition to serving as a predictor of graduation success.
To earn a satisfactory grade, teams must have an APR of at least 925 on a scale of 1-1000, and teams that score below 925 can be subject to loss of scholarships. The scores are based on a multi-year rate that averages scores from the past four full academic years.
Women’s soccer received special recognition for its academic performance after placing among the top 10 percent in its sport with a score of 995. Others scoring 990 or higher were women’s rowing (995), lacrosse (994) and volleyball (990).

Nathan Adrian on TV:
BERKELEY, CALIF. – University of California sophomore standout Nathan Adrian will be featured on tonight’s (Wednesday, May 6) MythBusters, “Swimming in Syrup” episode at 9 p.m. on the Discovery Channel. Adrian, one of the nation’s premier sprint freestylers, swam in a 25-yard pool with regular water and then swam in a pool filled with Guar gum to prove or debunk the myth that Guar gum would slow him down.
“It was a really fun experience,” said Adrian, who along with the general public does not know the results of the test. “It was cool hanging out with the show’s hosts, Jamie (Hyneman) and Adam (Savage), and getting treated like a T.V. star. It was a nice day in November and it allowed me to miss practice.”
Adrian was named 2009 Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year and Pac-10 Swimmer of the Meet after claiming the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle titles at the conference championships. He went on to become the 2009 NCAA champion in the 50 free with an American record 18.71 and the 100 free in an American record 41.80. The Bremerton, Wash. native became the fourth Golden Bear to earn Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year accolades (Ugar Taner in 1996, Anthony Ervin in 2002, Duje Draganja in 2005). This past summer in Beijing, China, he was an Olympic gold medalist as a member of the United States’ 400-meter freestyle relay team.

Womens Soccer gets NZ recruit:
BERKELEY – The California women’s soccer team has signed Betsy Hassett to a national letter of intent, Cal head coach Neil McGuire said. The New Zealand native will join the Golden Bears this fall.
“I am extremely pleased to have Betsy join our team,” McGuire said. “Her experience at the international level will add a great deal to our team dynamic. Betsy is a player who is fast, tenacious, and hard working and has many high-level pieces to her game. She can play both sides of the ball and has a winner’s mentality. She will add tremendously to our midfield.”
Hassett was a member of the New Zealand squad in 2008 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup. She played in all three group games including a 4-3 over host Chile a 1-1 draw with England as a 3-2 loss to Nigeria.

At last weekend’s Payton Jordan Invitational at Stanford, Cal gained two more regional qualifiers and won four events. Sophomore Kari Karlsson and junior Tracey Stewart were the regional qualifiers, in the 5000 and the triple jump, respectively. 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).

Beat me to it on here. I posted the FanShot over at McCovey Chronicles, and we are up to like 75 comments already. This is a great day. dodger fans can NEVER, EVER criticize Barry bonds again! LOL DODGERS!
Alright, fine, I admit it! "Hydration Technician" really DOES just mean "water boy!"
Why not? They're both fucking cheaters!
And before you get all huffy, so were Canseco and McGwire, two of my fave A’s growing up.
It’s just a fucking shame no one is clean from that era. It makes you appreciate guys like Rickey, Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken and even degenerate gambler Pete Rose.

If you're a baseball fan I don't know how you can call it a "great day."
Seems a little vengeful, short sighted, and doesn’t take the stain away that Bonds put on the game either.
"Stanford has no fear of losing versus Cal, as they have done so every year but one for the last 20 years. They are, however, very afraid to get injured and indeed fear for their safety." - Furd Rugby Coach on forfeiting 2001 Rugby game vs. Cal
I can call it a great day
Because I am a GIANTS fan. Anything bad (short of serious injury or tragedy) that happens to the dodgers is cause for celebration to me, since I hate the dodgers with every fiber of my being.
I didn’t like manny as a player, even before he quit on Boston to force a trade, I absolutely hate the dodgers, and this actually will be likely to help my team have a better chance at winning the division. So good all around.
Its definitely vengeful, and I think Giants fans have good reason to feel this way after having to take shit from fans of every other team (ESPECIALLY the dodgers) for years, many of whom made out like Barry was the only great player in the game to ever take steroids (allegedly), and that he and the Giants were single-handedly responsible for permanently staining baseball.
Alright, fine, I admit it! "Hydration Technician" really DOES just mean "water boy!"
Yea you can call it whatever you want
It just seems immature that’s all.
Look, I hate the Dodgers too – mostly b/c every time a Dodger fan finds out I’m an A’s fan they fucking having to bring up that Kirk Gibson bullshit. Yea but who’s in the HOF bitchez! I have other reasons to hate them too, but that’s besides the point.
Anyway, I think its obvious that so many of the “great” players were doing it, starting with Canseco and McGwire, through Barry, ARod and Manny. That’s what is depressing to me as a baseball fan and hence why I don’t think it’s a good day. Also, to think that Barry or the Giants singlehandedly stained baseball is stupid. The owners knew it, the players knew it, the Union knew it and everyone turned a blind eye because of $$. However, it appears you are in serious denial about Bonds obvious PED use by your statement “allegedly.” The evidence against him is pretty damning. As a Giants fan I would highly recommend Game of Shadows. Maybe you wont’ like what you hear, but its pretty objective and pretty damning.

Well
There must be a LOT of immature Giants fans out there. The second thread about it on McCovey Chronicles is already up to 500 comments, mostly filled with ROFLcopters and LOLcanoes.
And the “allegedly” was because Manny, Palmiero: caught by the drug-testing policy; A-Rod: admits past use. Barry: neither of those. There is evidence, sure, but I’d argue that its even less compelling than the evidence against Clemens. At any rate, whether or not Barry juiced is not really what matters to me at this point.
Alright, fine, I admit it! "Hydration Technician" really DOES just mean "water boy!"

then come tell me if you still agree with this statement:

BTW having your friend sit in jail to protect your butt is real admirable. Take the blinders off about Bonds already.

I’m not just attacking Bonds, the A’s had plenty of cheaters as well. And the comment about Anderson isn’t “character destroying crap” it’s character destroying truth. Stop being in denial and accept the fact that Bonds was a cheater, just like Canseco, McGwire, and Giambi.

I think it's easier to be a fan when they're gone as Canseco, McGwire and Bonds are
and FWIW Bonds did get the brunt of the attacks, for a lot of reasons: his run at an historic record; his bad relationship with the press, and I believe also cuz he’s black (but his attitude didn’t help matters either).
I have a pretty good friend who made it as high as AAA and he was having a real hard time getting a shot at the bigs. He says before testing, half the players on each team were trying something illegal. Hard to believe but he was with three organizations so I believe him.

Does Scott Boars think everyone's an idiot?
Look at his comment:
Scott Boras, Ramirez’s agent, told ESPN’s Peter Gammons that his client did not test positive for steroids, but for a drug that was prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition.
So lame!
"Stanford has no fear of losing versus Cal, as they have done so every year but one for the last 20 years. They are, however, very afraid to get injured and indeed fear for their safety." - Furd Rugby Coach on forfeiting 2001 Rugby game vs. Cal
Boras is at least reasonably confident that there are enough people who will still continue to buy into any flimsy excuse that their favorite sports star isn’t actually a cheater, but instead a victim of the system, because they still want to believe that none of this steroid crap is true.
Of course, when a rival player gets caught, these same people will scream that they knew the guy was a dirty cheat all along.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Manny's conversation with his doctor:
Dr: What can we help you with today?
Manny: I’m having trouble hitting for average, hitting for power, and driving runs in. Can you help me with that?
Dr: I have the perfect thing. Some of my other patients take it and they’re in the same line of work as you.
Manny: What is it doc?
Dr: It’s called Androstenedione, Epiandrosterone, and Deoxycorticosterone. Just have Big Papi inject your ass three times a day.

In your defense, I noticed he had been pitching decently as of late. I don’t root against Zito. I have noticed there is no animosity really between the A’s and Giants. Some light-hearted jabs but no real dislike. I really don’t mind when the Giants win. It pains me a bit when I hear some analysts say that they have a better future than the A’s, but I guess I lightly root for them. It is the very definition of lightly though. I mean, the Giants really don’t have very many unlikable guys on their team. I cheer for Matt Cain to get run support haha.

But for Chavy it wasn’t really his fault. The man just can’t stay healthy. My 3 favorite A’s of my lifetime: Chavy, Scutaro (the trade was totally indefensible. we traded away a solid guy for nothing. Not saying he deserved to get a good prospect in return, but when the reason for a trade is to get Donnie Murphy more playing time, the trade shouldn’t be made), and Swisher. I also had a serious SERIOUS mancrush on Carlos Gonzalez. I have a fetish for 5-tool centerfielders. Its pretty bad. I am already salivating over Rashun Dixon.

I don’t know why I’m trying to argue that Zito deserves being paid 17 million a year, cause he absolutely doesn’t.
But I don’t think that pointing at him as a jab at the Giants (as I assume you intended) is effective. Why didn’t you point at Randy Johnson? Or Uribe? For all the suck Zito has had the last two years, I think this is the worst time to single him out as a Giants weakness.
And as far as I know, Bonds is more than welcome at ATT park. They made a big deal about him being in town for the LA game last week and the Giants ended up winning that game.

This is a fake Auburn Twitter run by Bama fans.
Taylor: Half the staff was scared, and the other half was excited when Coach Chizik told them he was giving them a Hummer on Tuesday.
Makes me think maybe we should set up a fake account for Stanford.
“Harbaugh: On the road recruiting. Need more TEs. Can’t have enough TEs. Heard of a cluster of great TEs in the Salt Lake Area.”
“Almost out of money. The school says they wont give us any more. Might have to fire O-Line coach. Oh well, how important could an OLine coach be?”
Or we could do a fake USC one. This could be quite the Humor Possibility Opportunity.

BOOMER!
Don’t laugh…I found this over at Crimson and Cream (…the fuck?)
12. Louisiana Monroe @ Texas, September 12th – The Big 12 has a history with the Sun Belt Conference and its mostly filled with boring games against lesser teams. Expect the trend to continue in this one.
11. Kent State @ Baylor, October 3rd – The Golden Flashes are coming off a 4 win season in 2008. Delaware State, Miami (OH), Temple and Buffalo were the wins for Delaware State and their lone experience against the Big 12 was a 48-28 loss to Iowa State.
10. Colorado @ Toledo, September 11th – Toledo did beat Michigan last year but this game makes the list because Eastern Michigan and Miami (OH) were the Rockets only other two wins. The other thing that baffles me about this is that the Buffs are going to Toledo to play. I know that things have been down in Boulder recently but seriously, on the road at Toledo?
9. North Dakota @ Texas Tech, September 5th – The Fighting Sioux won six games last season but only beat Idaho State by three points. That says a lot because as we’re going to discuss in a minute the Bengals are one of the worst teams in all of college football. What does all this mean? The game will be over by the half.
8. North Dakota State @ Iowa State, September 3rd – The Bison are members of the Summit League and finished the 2008 season with a 6-5 record. Even if it’s a game against Iowa State this is a team that has no business playing against Big 12 competition.
7. Northwestern State @ Baylor, September 26th – The Northwestern State Demons finished the 2008 football season with a 7-5 record including an embarrassing 51-6 loss in Waco. Expect nothing less than the same this year.
6. Massachusetts @ Kansas State, September 5th – Bill Snyder is back and so is the watered down scheduling. The Minute Men finished 7-5 in 2008 and were blown out 56-14 when they stepped into Big 12 competition against Texas Tech.
5. Furman @ Missouri, September 19th – Furman played Virginia Tech within seventeen points last season, losing 24-7 in Blacksburg. They finished the season 7-5, losing their final two games to Georgia Southern (17-10) and Wofford (35-10).
4. Tennessee Tech @ Kansas State, September 26th – Tennessee Tech finished 2008 with a 3-9 record by losing seven games in a row by an average score of 39-17.
3. Northern Colorado @ Kansas, September 5th – The Jayhawks are really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. The Bears are from the Big Sky Conference and enjoyed a lone victory in 2008 over Idaho State (More on them in a minute). This will be nothing more than sixty minutes of stat padding for the Fighting Manginos.
2. Grambling State @ Oklahoma State, September 26th – Grambling’s only two losses last season were at the hands of Nevada and Northwestern State but they saw nothing like Oklahoma State’s offense. The Cowboys could score points in historical proportions.
1. Idaho State @ Oklahoma, September 12th – The Sooners open the 2009 season with a more than respectable game against BYU at Jerry World but follow it up with their home opener against the Bengals. As a Sooner fan let me just say that I wouldn’t even want to see the Idaho Vandals come to Norman much less Idaho State. This may be the worst home opener under Bob Stoops. The Bengals one just one game last season and the defending Big 12 Champs should be embarrassed to be hosting them.
I guess a decent MWC oppononent is “more than respectable” in their eyes. Yes, they actually have a Top 12 patsies list.

I take it you are not fond of Div 2 schools playing Div schools? (and yeah I realize they aren’t called D-1 and D-2 anymore) And…actually I’m not either. But wins must be on the crappiest schools schedules, and Big Schools don’t want to go Home and Away against the smaller D-1 schools anymore, and the smaller D-1 schools don’t want 4 non conference road games
So in comes the Nancies. I’m so glad college football added a 12 game. (that’s sarcasm folks!)

patsies I love the blog, but man I get sick of these articles every year. Yeah, schools have to play cream puffs EVERY year. It’s damn near impossible to schedule D1 schools every year. From what I heard OU was scratching and clawing for one, but had to settle on Idaho St. Same with Chattanooga last year. So what?
Is it ugly? Yeah. Is it avoidable? Not really. It’s not like OU really really really wanted to play Idaho St.

Speaking of emo longhorn
The Big 12 coaches do not want to change the tiebreaker rule.
Meeting at a resort on Wednesday, they voted to keep the Bowl Championship Series standings as the method to break ties between more than two teams. Under that rule, the Sooners edged the Longhorns by 13 thousandths of a point in December.
Fuck Bob Stoops and his cronyism (he’s supposedly buddy buddy with every Big 12 coach). Gotta feel bad that Texas got shafted.

A couple things:
typo at this sentence
Towards the end of the season, even with the teams passing game and struggles on offense, Nyan was becoming a team leader.
It should say “team’s” not “teams.”
Also how about something like the following:
Nyan is considered to be one of the strongest wide receivers in the country. It is believed he can bench press over 400 lbs. Such mythic strength led many fans to start using the expression: “Do you have the Nyan in you?”
Then cite to CGB as your source.
p.s. I’m not sure how much he can bench press.

YO reviews the OL.
WHERE WE STAND: Cal is set at both tackle spots and at center. Tepper will be the Bears’ left tackle while redshirt sophomore Mitchell Schwartz will play right tackle, where he started last season before moving over to the left side early on. The questions are at guard. Mark Boskovich took most of the first team reps at left guard after starting there last season when Guarnero went down. Chet Teofilo is penciled in at right guard for now but was in and out of spring practice as he still recovers from his ankle injury. The backups – Matt Summers-Gavin and Justin Cheadle — both came to Cal with major press clippings and are talented. They should both push for playing time in the fall.
MOVING FORWARD: The competition for the guard spots will be one of the most closely followed in the fall. Boskovich has the experience, but he struggled at times last season and wasn’t at his best in the Emerald Bowl to close the season. Teofilo has only played tackle at Cal so guard will be a transition for him. Coach Jeff Tedford lauded Summers-Gavin for having a good spring and he could be the next in line to compete with Boskovich or Teofilo. Galas is a wild-card. Could he do what Guarnero did last season, move to guard to get his talents on to the field? Or would Cal still consider keeping him at center and moving Guarnero back to guard? Those questions will be answered during fall camp.

The weirdest sports story of the day?
Dirk Nowitzki and his jailed, supposedly PREGNANT lover.
Cristal Taylor is more than just Nowitzki’s "house guest.’’ She is/was his girlfriend and her side’s claim that they are/were engaged seems legitimate enough given the large diamond she’s recently worn on her left ring finger.
She may be duplicitous – and she may have deceived the Mavs star — but she is not a "stalker.’’ Their relationship dates back more than a year, when the two allegedly met at a hotel in Houston. Last summer, Dirk told reporters that he had a girlfriend.
It was Nowitzki himself who, in a sense, started the legal ball rolling by hiring a private investigator to look into Taylor’s background. Almost certainly, that agent came into contact with Dallas authorities who were working with an FBI task force.
Taylor was arrested and taken into custody on several outstanding warrants. One is a probation violation from Missouri, the other second a theft of service charge from Jefferson County, Texas. From what we can gather, there is a $20,000 bail set for one of the charges as Taylor is at Lew Sterrett, but the other charge does not allow for bail.
Reports say Taylor has used at least eight different aliases in the past, including Chrystal Ann Taylor, Crystal Ann Taylor, Debra Johnson, Shana Mancini, Krista Santiago, Crystal Ann Santiago, Cristal Westerhaus and Crista A. Westerhays. It is our understanding that Nowitzki was unaware of the aliases until he was informed of them by his private investigator.
