All good friend! I’ve just worked that job - breaking sports news - and an OT game and a second half comeback are about the hardest things because you have to rewrite your lead etc. This game had both. Go Valks! 💜 No more Peacock games!! My parents were mad too.

My ferry station! I’m at South Shore Mall & a Blue Angel just zoomed overhead. Alameda definitely a bad spot for scared dogs.

She is! Natalie = Valks Becky = Warriors After Kerr decides he’s through. He seems pretty close to calling it in recent years.

Same but also my shoes

You know how hard it is to write a game story when the narrative is changing moment to moment at the end of the game? Do you think the players & coaches are talking to local scribes before the national broadcasters? Show some patience. I’ve done it and it’s a very hard job.

Valkyries are like the villain in a horror movie. They keep coming at you. No let up. Relentless. The creativity of the Bay embodied. The values of the Bay embodied. The quiet toughness of the Bay embodied. BALLHALLA will be lit in the finals. S.F. will be at its best in the finals. 💜⚔️🌁

Peacock announcers just flashed to E-40 and said “Too Short is in the house!” Stay in Vegas. You lost all your Bay Area privileges.

I’m cool! It’s a win-win. If we lose we did it while resting our starters and making them work hard. (Also I can muster no dislike for any of the Aces. Becky Hammon = future Warriors coach?)

Sometimes when Kaitlyn Chen is on the sideline it seems as if she has forgotten she’s a player and thinks she’s a fan who lucked into courtside seats. Pure joy. Whatever happens tonight (and the next night and the next …) this is a gift, and one of the all-time special seasons in Bay Area sports.

I spent exactly zero seconds caring. I knew what she was about. She lectured me that I wasn’t an impartial journalist. Tried to explain I’m a columnist/critic who openly encourages biking & transit as part of my beat but will be critical when warranted! Could tell she was tuning me out. Whatevs. 🤷

I was introduced to her at a BART event and she lectured me for recent stories I wrote about BART that she deemed too positive.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Thank you!!! Was so excited to learn more about her — and a little stunned after spending so much time in archives that I hadn’t heard of her.

Where was it broadcast? Prime? Super frustrating. The streamers are getting worse than cable ever was in terms of ripping off the public. I miss the days of watching EVERY 49ers and Warriors game for free with a good antenna.
