FTB’s own Mike Meezy got another spot on
the Warriors’ pregame show highlight montage recently. But this
one was different. Given that the track is a slow jam about not being able to let go, it was eerily apropos of current events ...

I don’t have time for this. I was going to write about the Detroit Pistons having better fourth quarters of late than the Big Three, but now I’m forced to leave basketball behind for a minute. To take a look at scared suburban nerds packing heat. Legally. In California. Under ...

Even though I’m trying to direct a little less hate the way of the reigning NBA champions, I find it hard to resist. Especially after last night. The Lakers were on cruise control through three quarters and up by a grip at the break. So they take the starters out.
And all hell breaks ...

Before Stephen Jackson went “off-script” at the beginning
of this season, everyone here in Warriorsland knew that
he could jump off the campaign bus at any minute. Ric Bucher pretty much laid it out back in 2008 when he wrote a very ...

Stephen Jackson goes rogue. Gets traded by his own ego.
Dock Ellis achieved the single greatest athletic feat ever accomplished by a man who admittedly was under the influence of psychedelics. Recently deceased, this version of his tale, animated by the good folks at our NYC-based kindred spirits at No Mas and narrated by Ellis himself, is an ...

Around this time in 1989, we here in the Bay Area were still reeling from all the concrete that fell down as a result of the Loma-Prieta Earthquake. Half a world away, another seismic shift was taking place, as the Gorbachev-sponsored Glasnost ...

In the age of Survivor and Fear Factor we’ve established that plenty of people will do stupid shit for money or 15 seconds of fame. So, it’s nice to know that someone out there will do something stupid for a good cause. Like this guy who’s running across the country ...

This video, shot last summer on a promotional tour of China for Li Ning shoes, pretty much synopsizes the ease with which Baron danced through the Warriors defense last Friday. Like they were a bunch of confused citizens of Shanghai out shopping for vegetables. You will also note a ...

Over at our favorite public radio station, KCRW, they have a nice thing going with their “5ive Things” lists. Recently, they posted this: 5ive best beards in music . Honestly, I would have picked a different starting five. For one, leaving both ?uestlove and Rick Rubin on the ...

While the Warriors were getting their first win of the season, I was cruising at 31,000 feet getting my Sudoko on in the back of Spirit , Southwest’s in-flight Magazine. When I got off the plane I checked the score and saw that not only did we get the W, but four Warriors had 20 plus ...

A couple of months ago, we helped spread the word about Rafael’s thorough accounting of Bay slang, “The Grinch Song.” Folks lost they minds off that one and our mole in the PDX went on a major Rafael Casal bender as a consequence. Now he’s got an album. And ...

This suit alone is reason enough to hate the man, but well-known author, Bill Simmons, aka “The Sports Guy” has really taken his hatred of Mike Dunleavy, Sr. to new levels lately. Maybe the man we like to call The Cryptkeeper is hearing the messages. Remarkably, Dunleavy ...

As I write, it’s the end of the third quarter in the Lakers/Clippers game, with the Clips down one. Portland had an uneven game up north against Houston, but pulled out the win. Did I mention that NBA League Pass is free this week? Hallelujah. It’s on.

Ah, the start of the season is upon us. And we’re making sure to hedge our bets here at FTB. So comes this, from The City That Works, Portland, Oregon, via our friend and sideline mole, one Mr. Clement Uduk. Dude watches every game from like 15 feet behind the visitor’s bench. ...
