In news you don't actually need, I have completed my tour of duty at NBCSports Bay Area en route to whatever the next thing is. Regards to those I worked with for 8 1/2 years; you're all pros and friends . . . except for four of you.
Buster Posey's decision to put his family's health and safety ahead of baseball's half-assed masterplan is a dangerous precedent that will only provide support and satisfaction to sensible people.
The last time the Giants lost 11 straight games, they won the National League pennant by finishing the season winning 39 of their last 47. This year, they'll have to win 39 of their last 15.
1. Trust no league when it counts test results.
2. Trust no team when it comes to obeying protocols.
3. Trust no commissioner under any conditions.
4. Trust nobody applauding any league for figuring it out.
4. Do not underestimate pure dumbassed luck when it comes to the virus.

Such gaps aren't that unusual. Warriors haven't seen Capers since Game 14. Plus Warriors don't like Foster either. Point is, NBA sent two sure Finals officials to a second round second game, so they're taking it seriously.
A decent human being would have not posted this until my death, which is still loosely scheduled for March 27. And frankly, your kids deserved better as well, you human mudslide of a parent.
I don't normally give much a damn about commemorative awards and what they are called, but it seems to me that the WNBA ought to name its MVP trophy after Maya Moore.
Gwen Knapp was an underappreciated giant in the journalism gig, and that was the least of her attributes. She was just a solid sender as a human being, and that’s more than good enough for me. Rest well, you goofy hero.
I would like the NBA to review the Stephen Curry travel call and put out a press release that says, "Of course James Harden does the same thing all the time, but we like him and we hate you, so piss off."
In all of sports, nothing is more satisfying that a stadium full of sad people leaving and vowing never to return -- seven consecutive times. And no, this is not because it's the Astros. This is just being pro-sadness.
Everyone who writes, speaks or watches basketball officially knows nothing. All knowledge is anti-knowledge. Reason is a lie. We are all doomed. Merry Christmas, bitches.
From what I am gathering on Twitter, Sue Bird is winning a basketball game by herself while chain-smoking Parliaments and holding a tumbler of Glenmorangie in her non-shooting hand.
Warriors are also announcing they will be without Wilt Chamberlain (dead), Rick Barry (old, but day to day) and Joe Barry Carroll (missing, assumed well).

It's a great idea, with the caveat being that the replacement hitter and the manager be devoured by tigers if the game isn't tied as a result.
ESPN has thoughtfully reduced my need for viewing by one half-hour five days a week. I'll miss High Noon, but at least I can add 30 minutes of "God, television eats metric tons of rhino ass" to my daily litany of complaints.
Poll: Who are the Warriors better without?
1. Durant
2. Curry
3. Green
4. Thompson
5. Iguodala
6. Speights
7. Barbosa
8. Floyd
9. Chamberlain
10. Naismith
11. When does this idiocy cease?
12. No seriously, when?
Attention everyone who is complaining they need to go to bed but can't because of the game: You CAN go to bed. The laws are clear on this. They are also clear about not whining to strangers about needing to go to bed. Go to bed or shut your flap.
