The Golden State Warriors entered Wednesday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs in dire need of a win; they also entered Wednesday’s game with virtually no one expecting one.
Denver Broncos LB Alex Singleton failed a PED test (boo) but it was a false positive (yay) caused by testicular cancer (boo) but they caught it early (yay). Don't forget to check your juevos, fellas.
MVP announced during the MLB awards show tonight hosted by Mookie and Roy Wood Jr. Ohtani is a lock but the AL is between Judge and Cal Raleigh. I'm going to vote for Cal Raleigh because catching is a much harder position.
Tarik Skubal confirmed his greatness in 2025, while Paul Skenes affirmed his is just beginning.
Skubal, the left-handed ace for the Detroit Tigers, won his second consecutive American League Cy Young Award on Wednesday, while Skenes, the second-year right-hander for the Pittsburgh Pirates, followed up his Rookie of the Year season by winning his first National League Cy Young Award, getting all 30 first-place votes in voting conducted by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Oh I think I heard about the castle when I lived there. 2028 is when Cal goes back to Louisville. I thought it would've been later than that. If the ACC doesn't implode by then.
The Hostess Ding Dong - the hockey puck shaped "cake" is called Ding Don in Canada. They all used to be wrapped in foil. They now come in clear plastic.
Boy howdy, those Hostess C-cakes, were a rare treat for me back in the day. My mom would pack my lunch in elementary and JR High. And every April 1st, she included a Hostess C-cake, oblivious to April 1st as far as lunches go, I always bit into the cake to discover, in my mouth, that the cream filling had been replaced with cotton.
She'd freeze them and surgically removed the cream then packed it with cotton, carefully replacing the bottom.
Getty Watanabe's character from 16 Candles was one of the most iconic/damaging Asian stereotypes from the 80s. How many times have you heard "Donger needs food"
I do. Similar to many of the TV shows I watch, I just want to turn off my brain and just be entertained. They're not as good as the original books, but they're not bad.
California men's soccer forward Luka Lukic was named to the All-ACC Third Team, the conference announced Wednesday, after he recorded career highs in goals and points through the regular season and the first two games of the ACC Championship.
A heartbreaker today. Cal controlled the ball for most of the game but came up just short, as Virginia got a couple of late goals and held on to defeat the Bears 2-1.
Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Keenan Allen became the franchise record-holder for receptions during a home win over Pittsburgh to highlight the accomplishments by Pro Bears in Week 10 of the NFL season. Allen, who has played 12 of his 13 NFL seasons for the Chargers, has 956 of his 1026 career receptions with the franchise.
And he did so on what most folks assumed was a running play. It was a play where Allen was in motion (left to right), passing in front of Justin Herbert (shotgun formation), who tossed the ball forward like a shovel pass with Allen catching the ball and gaining something like 8 yards.
Two prospects with championship pedigrees who are ranked among Golfweek's top-50 recruits in the country have joined the Cal women's golf program, head coach Sofie Aagaard announced Wednesday.
The California softball team signed five incoming freshmen in the class of 2026, announced Wednesday by head coach Steve Singleton, who officially welcomes his first signing class as the leader of the program.
The California men's and women's cross country teams head to Sacramento for the NCAA West Regional Championships that begin Friday at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex, hosted by Sacramento State. The event begins with the women's 6k race at 9 a.m. PT, followed by the men's 10k at 10 a.m. PT.
The California volleyball program signed three new players Wednesday to join the team for its 2026 campaign, adding Abby Zimmerman, Anna Flores and Nicole Milosevic to its incoming freshman class.
California football quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele added to his honors Wednesday for his performance in the Golden Bears' 29-26 overtime victory at No. 14 Louisville in a Week 11 game on Saturday. Sagapolutele was named the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week.

"If the ACC doesn't implode by then."
Exactly. In these turbulent times in college football, anything can happen.

The Hostess Ding Dong - the hockey puck shaped "cake" is called Ding Don in Canada. They all used to be wrapped in foil. They now come in clear plastic.
Loved these when I was a kid. This and the Hohos.
same. Hohos and Ding Dongs were good. the chocolate Hostess cupcakes were my favorite.
in HS you could get a 2-pack of cupcakes for 50 cents from the vending machine and 2 cartons of milk for another 20 cents.
so for under 75 cents i had a pretty excellent afternoon snack.
also at Campo we had a extra long 10 min passing period in the afternoon before the last 2 periods, so this was the optimal time go get such a snack
Boy howdy, those Hostess C-cakes, were a rare treat for me back in the day. My mom would pack my lunch in elementary and JR High. And every April 1st, she included a Hostess C-cake, oblivious to April 1st as far as lunches go, I always bit into the cake to discover, in my mouth, that the cream filling had been replaced with cotton.
She'd freeze them and surgically removed the cream then packed it with cotton, carefully replacing the bottom.
Max Muncy, Miggy Ro, and Will Smith all hit one in game 7!

DING
Dong the witch is dead
Hey, now! Don't get my hopes up!
One of the characters in Tom Clancy Jack Ryan novels.
Ding... Chavez, right?
Yup. John Clark's son in law.
Just curious, do you read the new books with his characters? I eased off when he started with co-writers and quit totally when he died.
I do. Similar to many of the TV shows I watch, I just want to turn off my brain and just be entertained. They're not as good as the original books, but they're not bad.

Looks like we beat Pitt on Sunday and play #1 Virginia in the semis this afternoon
https://theacc.com/feature/mens-soccer-championship
A heartbreaker today. Cal controlled the ball for most of the game but came up just short, as Virginia got a couple of late goals and held on to defeat the Bears 2-1.
I got home as they were doing a post game interview. Looked like one of Virginia’s goals was an own goal by Cal.
