Many thanks to Ian for his recent Playoff Pulse update as well as his suggestions for things to do this weekend because the away game against Houston got canceled. I’d like to toss out one more to-do suggestion as well. Straight from the fine folks over at FuncheapSF, the Final SF Cardboard Tube [...]

The Part Where I Write a Review or Something

Twitter has changed my life. For reals. Basically, anything that I can accomplish via text message is a win win situation for me. And I twitter all the time (if you’d like to read my gibberish, it really shouldn’t be too hard to find me on their site) so this review will [...]

Finally, the Buck Shaw home game is here. Finally, there’s a reason for me to go to San Jose that doesn’t involve sitting in a data center for hours on end. Finally, the weather has cooled down enough for me to rock a neon blue wig at this thing. But don’t expect [...]

I was on my way to The Parkway and I got this text message from a friend:
The report from Salt Lake is that your own guys are running into and injuring each other and RSL is up 3-0
