Floyd Landis is the worst kind of cheater: a rat who lied and solicited money from ordinary people to further his cheating. Shame on him.

Bonus tweet!
The Giants should just forfeit the rest of their games against the Padres. Rest up and save everyone some aggravation.

SF Free Movies

I see a ton of free movies. Some of them are great (Dark Knight) others suck (Ghost of Girlfriends Past). Even with the bad movies you can't beat the price -- Free!

The new apartment

Here is the inside of our new apartment. We've got some work to get it ready for visitors (and for living).

I saw an NBC11 news van outside our place yesterday. We'll share that story later!

A lot has been made about 95% of blogs have been abandoned and have not been updated in the last 90 days. I've got some fun stuff that will be posted in June. You'll want to stay tuned.

Stars out at Haas Pavilion

The Cal Basketball season finale versus UCLA was bound to have a huge crowd because of ESPN's national coverage and the assignment of the College Gameday show at Haas Pavilion. Among the folks that we saw...

Gameday Staff:

Rece Davis - the host genuinely enjoyed the Haas crowd and was seen mingling with students after Gameday

Bobby Knight - 'the General' wore red (he loves to play the villian) and was "play-choking" one of his friends at halftime of the game (video to come)

Jay Bilas - the Dukie was very professional and gave high fives to the audience as he walked through the crowd

Digger Phelps - brought the house down during a commercial break when he danced with a pair of blonde Cal Dance team members. It must be nice to be the zany guy on the Gameday crew.

Hubert Davis - I wish he would show some of our players how to play in his smooth, in-control manner.

Erin Andrews - She spent most of the evening far from the student section but looked very cute in a dark suit. She gave the occassional wave to the fans.

Former Bears:

Anwar McQueen - he's been at several games this season and I hope he continues to be a fixture.

Kevin Johnson - the Mayor of Sacramento was courtside in a smart brown blazer. He was definitely into his date, Washington D.C. school superintendent Michelle Rhee. They exchanged a couple of (edited) of kisses and he was definitely sharing his basketball insights with her during the game. I'm glad that he's "dating" someone his own age.

Others:

Tracy Murray - this former UCLA sharpshooter was probably doing color for the UCLA radio broadcast. He looked like he could still drop 50 points on the Warriors. I think he made good investments, his suit and shoe game was still tight.

Jamaal Wilkes - the father of Jordan Wilkes (and UCLA alum) has been a mainstay of Cal Basketball games. Here's hoping we see him at Haas even after Jordan's graduation.

Here is some video from the game.

Photos from South America

We've finally gone through and prepared our photo collection from our South American trip. You can see them here!
