The puck stops here — on The NOR CAL Report! This week, top NHL goalkeep, 2010 Olympian, and Sharks stalwart Evgeni Nabakov joins the lads for a special peek between the pipes. Plus, updates from the land of the hoopsters, as the boys debate NBA ROY and MLB fortunes to come.
The Sharks come back flat from Vancouver, having dropped a weekend set to two pedestrian squads. With the postseason finally in view, is this dry spell worse than it looks — or just some Sharkies playing with their food?
The Warriors feature a lone win against a deadening Toronto squad, but at least Monta and "rookie" Steph Curry are learning to share floor space...
The Kings win some, lose some, and generally seek out the left-handed compliment of passing the Clips in the standings.
There's no compliment too small, and flattery will get you everywhere — on The NOR CAL Report!
UP NEXT:
More Sharks weigh in on the Report, as they swim toward Lord Stanley. Plus, a special look at baseball season, 2010 version — and the MLS, barring the dreaded work stoppage. By this time next year, will there be any leagues left?
The NOR CAL Blog:
All the latest info, anecdotes and opinions from the Report's own Jess Zitrin.
Sadly, there's no photo available online; no way for me to embed the video. All I can say is, click here to see double-Cy Tim Lincecum gaily model a wizard-print Snuggie...
Speaking of the G-Men, if your complaint is that their lineup is constantly in flux — keep complaining...
That explains it: JaMarcus Russell is seeking treatment for a lethargy addiction. Okay, so the original story's a joke — but hit close enough to the mark that some news outlets ran with it, straight-faced. Admit it, you read my first sentence and weren't sure...
It looks like Bobby Crosby's back in Oakland. He's not... but it looks like he is. (To quote dear, departed NOR CAL friend Jules Tygiel, scouting Ozzie Canseco, identical twin to Jose: "Looks like a ballplayer...")
Looks like a ballplayer.
Where are the A's on new ballpark details, you ask? A piece by the reliable John Shea says this: (1) the league is laying the groundwork for cramming San Jose down the Giants' throats (not to mention A's fans;) and (2) they're nowhere near ready to do that. In other words, with viable sites rotting by the Oakland waterfront: same old, same old...
And what's this about the Niners and Raiders NFL teams sharing a Santa Clara stadium? It's no sure thing S.C. citizens want even one of them. But Oakland says it can house both — assuming, of course, the Raiders can still prove they're in the league...
You've always got a home, so thanks for hangin' your hat — on The NOR CAL Report!
