today with the birth of our 5 lb 5 oz bundle of love and joy. Mama was a warrior through labor and delivery and we are so thrilled to be parents to this beautiful little nugget. Our hearts are full of love and we are blessed beyond belief
If Joe Dumars and company have any credibility, Dillon Brooks gets suspended for Game 4. His track record is as spotty as Draymond and in far fewer games.
With the heaviest of hearts, we say goodbye to my mom Susan Jane Dibley (Giles), mother of four, grandmother of seven, after a bout with lung cancer. She taught me the power of language, how to dream, and so much more. I love you Mommy. Our kids will live your legacy.
Warriors guard Klay Thompson is expected return to the court Sunday, after a nearly 31 month absence, my eyes and ears told me, as I watched

#BREAKING
#DibsBomb
I raised two kids in Oakland and spent many nights at the Coliseum enjoying A's baseball. As a kid, I many many treks to Oakland for a taste of the American League. Hearing this news today is a final gut punch from the worst owner in pro sports. Fisher is a weasel; MLB complicit.
I went to Mychael Urban's funeral today and a lot of people (many household names) came out to say goodbye. One old friend of his flew out from Nashville for the occasion and that man has earned my eternal respect. Barry Zito is a real one.
I've lived in Oakland for 21 years.
I have loved the
@Athletics
for longer than that.
Their current ownership is untenable.
I want them to get a new stadium.
I want them to have a new owner.
I can't support their current 2nd rate product.
What am I supposed to do?
#quandary
Stunning news from the NBA. Draymond's history of unsportsmanlike acts cited as a reason for the suspension. Announced from Joe Dumars, a teammate of some of the dirtiest players of all time
#irony
I don't know the details but I know I will miss Greg Papa doing
@Raiders
play by play. Brent Musberger is a legend but Papa is the voice of the team. And the way they did Tom Flores is downright disrespectful. Didn't let an icon go out on his own terms? Shame on you Mark.
#Shame
The fact that this
#warriors
DYNASTY happened while they were still in the TOWN will never be lost on me. Oakland NEEDED it. Oakland DESERVED it. In my mind, they have more than paid the debt. You're free to go. Thank you Joe. Thank you Peter.
#DubNation
@warriors
Warriors in 5. Boston SHOULD be a tough matchup but they refuse to play up to form consistently. Marcus Smart is an ongoing problem: poor shot selection and overall lack of discipline. Wiggins can slow Tatum.
Thank you Oakland. It was an epic 21-year run that included raising two wonderful sons, many great memories, fabulous meals, thousands of miles of hikes, tremendous laughs and libations, and a lifetime of good times. It's time for a new chapter in a new place.
#GoodnightOakland
I said on
@957thegame
that Shanahan would run Trey Lance into the ground but I didn't think it would happen this soon. Now Jimmy G is in, having taken zero snaps in the preseason or in practice in camp. Terrible mismanagement by Shanahan and the front office. This is disastrous.
Today is One Year to the day since my mom passed away and there have been many stories told today. Her legacy of excellence grows with each passing day. She was an incredible mom. Thanks eternal...
It turns out, it was YOU
@Athletics
. It wasn't us. Took less than 5 years for you to show your true colors
@DaveKaval
, and your shambolic, penny pinching boss John Fisher.
No conspiracy theory: The league isn't trying to make the Warriors lose. I think the top execs at the league are just really upset with Draymond. And some of this I can understand. But to affect a playoff series like this? Seems extra.
Where is the response from
@LibbySchaaf
to this ATTACK on youth sports in Oakland? With our ever-growing tax base, she should be proactively working to offset the shortfall. She's already losing 2 pro teams from OAK in her tenure, now a landslide of HS programs? Truly Troubling.

launched as a brand new Bay Area sports talk station. I was there in the beginning and I'm still here today. I'm SUPER proud of our team and even more appreciative of all the listeners who have made us what we are today. Thank you from all of us.
Of all the Draymond cheap shots and flagrant fouls, this one feels like the cheapest and the most flagrant. On the heels of the Gobert Choke, I think the league puts down the hammer and Green gets a 10 game suspension. Enough is enough.
I'm excited to be moving to middays on

made me feel worthy and important. Come home my brother. Wishing and praying for you to be safe and sound.
Shambolic offseason for the
@SFGiants
. Missing on Judge is forgivable but to botch the Correa situation at this level is a fireable offense. Farhan still hasn't signed any player of a significant length and to lose out on this one like this is beyond embarrassing.
I am deeply appreciative of all the love and support since my mom's passing. I will be off the air this week, tending to family matters. I look forward to being back on

I met Ray Fosse in the press elevator at the Coli in about '07. Before I could fanboy on him he was dropping knowledge about my show with
@GaryRadnich
and how HE was a fan of MINE. Turns out, he made everyone feel that special. What a great man and a great loss.
#RayFosseRIP
I will never take the 4 titles for granted. Never. I will add that this loss is as frustrating as any I can remember in this great run. Feels like big changes need to be made and will be made, assuming Joe Lacob is angrier than I am.
A very sad tweet to read. Ralph was very supportive of me when worked for the same station and he gave me great career advice. I also enjoyed our discussions about vegetarianism and animal cruelty. He was one of a kind. RIP Razor.
This one hits especially hard. Urbs was a HUGE part of the early days of
@957thegame
and an absolutely great dude. He and I shared many laughs and even more big hugs, and he was a great hugger. My heart breaks for his family, especially his two daughters. RIP Big Urbs.
Oh man. I’m really sad to hear that Mychael Urban — former Oakland A’s beat writer and NBC Sports Bay Area insider — passed away yesterday on his 55th birthday, according to his brother Dan on Facebook. I enjoyed chatting with him last year on
@RizzoCast
. RIP, Mychael.
Draymond Green was spectacular tonight. Typical stellar defense but his offense was better than it has been in years. Aggressive and efficient and absolutely the key to the win. Close out game on Friday.
Best of luck on your retirement. Many of us would not have the careers we have without your encouragement and support. On behalf of the countless who you "made", thank you and godspeed.
@GaryRadnich
T-minus 3 days and counting until I turn 50 years old. Today's Life Tip is to make the effort to SPEND TIME WITH YOUR PARENTS. My dad died 3 years ago today and I would love to have spent more time with him but too often I didn't make the effort. I miss my parents every day.
I appreciate everyone's support for

Having a QB who can't throw the ball is akin to pitching with a position player in Game 7 of the World Series. This is a joke and an unfulfilling end to the season.
This is hypocrisy in a nutshell. Big business can go on as usual but little people must bow? Shame on you
@GavinNewsom
. I've known you since we were kids. You used to be better than this. Please channel your inner-Marin and right this ship.
Bar owner in Los Angeles CA is livid to see that mayor Garcetti has approved an outdoor dining area for a movie company directly across from her outdoor dining area (which was shut down)
Who are the best One Team Only athletes in Bay Area history? Steph Curry (so far) and Buster Posey are at the top of the list but who else belongs on this Bay Area One Team Rushmore?
Losing Vida Blue hits me hard. In 2006, when I was a balldude at the Giants game, I was getting heckled by a fan. After a couple of fun taunts I looked over to see it was Vida, having a ball at my expense He was always very supportive of me and my career. He was my idol. RIP Vida
6 years since my dad Dwayne left us. Time goes fast, time slows down, but the one constant is how much I miss him. He was the most clever, hard working, old school father a young precocious wise-a** could ever want. This one's for you, Dad.
Jordan Poole was unplayable but so were many of his teammates. What is Kerr to do? Wiggins was a non factor, Klay was good early then average, Draymond was ordinary, Steph not efficient, and the bench brought nothing. They've got 40 hours to figure it out. I'm down right now.
I was lucky enough to meet Dwight Clark in 2008 at a game at Candlestick. He came into our suite and worked the room, giving everyone his complete attention; gregarious and fun loving. He connected with everyone. I'll never forget the conversations we had over the years.
If Caitlin Clark isn't bothered by Angel Reese, and she clearly wasn't then and hasn't seemed to be now, then why are all of you so offended? She is a self-proclaimed trash talker, her team lost, and she took it very well. It was a very entertaining game and the better team won.
So, KD is gone. Sad to see him go but what an incredible three year run it was. I've always lived life in the moment so I truly appreciated the era. Doesn't lessen today's hurt but we will always have this run to remember.
#ThankYouKD

@warriors
. Strikes me as a perfect "change of scenery" guy who can rewrite his narrative. Almost 25 yrs old, former Rookie of the Year AND they get a 1st Round pick in 2021 and a 2nd in 2022. Well done Bob Myers.
To all the bandwagon-jumper-offers, you STILL need to win 4 games in the

#SeeYouThursday
Niners lost this game in the 1st half. The defense was dominant and the offense did not hold up their end. They should've scored at least 17 if not 21 points. And Kyle did the offense no favors with the play calls to open the 2nd half. Tough one. See you at 1:45 on

First Mother's Day without Sue and even though she never hyped up these Hallmark Holidays, it's still tough not being able to call her and wish her well on this day of days. Miss you much mommy.
I've officially cancelled my off day. I'm not getting Wally Pipped by Santangelo. Not. Gonna. Happen.
I'm all seriousness, I'm stoked to have this O.G. on our air. Nice to have someone older than me on the team LOL.
I’m excited to announce I’m back on the air in the Bay Area baby! I’ll be doing some shows here and there with

Raiders have donated $250,000 to save Oakland youth sports that were eliminated by the Oakland Unified School District due to budget constraints. Raiders will allocate funds through East Bay Community Foundation. (). Donation will be coordinated w/ O.A.L.
That was an embarrassing way for the season to end. They showed very little fight in the 2nd half. Warriors run out of the gym by an undermanned Kings team. Let the off-season chatter begin.
Curry can't do this alone. Klay has been terrible, Poole is unplayable, yet they're only down by 2. Gotta get contributions from other sources or the Dubs will lose.
This goes down as one of my favorite moments in my 20+ year radio career. I don't RT this to showcase my obvious athletic gifts but to remind myself of just how big I was 9 months ago. Down 30 pounds and ready for a rematch.

Thousands of singers in L.A. and we go with Fergie? What, Carl Lewis wasn't available? Trash. Sounds like she's trying to make the anthem sound sexy.

Watched Once Upon A Time in...Hollywood last night and it was bad. Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning "how can I get those 150 minutes of my life back?" bad. Beautiful sets and retro feel but Tarentino should be ashamed. Huge waste of a great cast. An absolute turd.

Last day for me in my 40's so this will be the last of the Life Lessons. The final piece is simply this: SEEK HAPPINESS. You have to work at it but you can find joy in almost everything. Hunt for it. Appreciate life and the opportunity to live freely. Smiles are free. Laugh it up
