 Bearding up is the new shaving. And a few kind folks have shared their follicular fellowship with FTB. Among the notables, bloggers Tom Ziller (Sactown Royalty, AOL FanHouse) and Delinda Lombardo (Athlebrities) pledged allegiance straight out of the gate. Ziller is somewhat...

A few years back my friend David Buuck told me about this band that was living in his garage in Oakland, and how they just did a gig in Libya. And I was, like, “Whatever man, Libya’s not even a part of the Axis of Evil anymore. Every indie rock band living in a garage [...]

Janny Hu of the SF Chronicle is reporting Chris Webber will announce his retirement after 15 seasons in the NBA at a press conference tomorrow morning at 10am.
Regardless of his production (or lack of) on the hardwood for the Dubs, it sounds like the move to bring C-Webb back to...

Some of you surely knew this, but for those who don't, the call made against Monta Ellis in overtime?for essentially being tackled by Derek Fisher?was made by Bob Delaney. Now, I'm not saying Bob Delaney has mob ties just because he once successfully infiltrated the mob. But...

If I had known how tonight's game was going to turn out, I would have hooked up "Stack and Eggs," instead of "Egg Dizzle" on the Easter egg of record. But some keys for tomorrow night emerged. Make the jump for more. And beard up the Oracle for the rematch already!

The Warriors, Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington hosted a “Silence the Violence Rally” at my alma mater, Oakland Tech. Also in attendance was Ron Dellums, the always bearded and baby fro sportin’ major of The Town.

It's on. Boom Dizzle himself is sponsoring a beard growing contest at www.ibeatyou.com. It's going down BD. I'm not only going to give you solid run for beardosity, I am officially laying down a challenge to the entire Bay Area: beard up.

It's time to get this poppin'. And it's time to beard up for real. Less than a month remains until the playoffs and that means that we need some effin' beards up in the effin' Oracle. And now that I'm four weeks in, I'm fully committed. As such, I have re...
Boom Dizzle puts Craig Sager on fashion blast.

If Craig Sager was going to interview me, I'd have to stipulate that I got to see a picture of his outfit at least an hour before the interview. Because that's how long it would take me to stop laughing. It's not really the the threads though; it's who's wearing...
You versus the Warriors: how does your first car stack up?
March 14, 2008 by

My first car was a '66 VW Beetle. Stock, except for the Kenwood deck. The six-volt electricals would let me down periodically if the wipers, radio and turn signals were all on at the same time. Perhaps, not so coincidentally, it once famously caught fire not far from Lake Merritt...

Figure A. The Ocsar. Figure B. The Oscizzle.
It will take more then John Stewart and the see-through dresses to make the Oscars watchable for me, however, millions are now gathered around their TV sets for the red carpet event. At this point, the movies the show professes to honor...

Many thanks to our new best friends Josh and Mark over at Garbage Time All-Stars for the dope comic. Hopefully, it’s not too prophetic. But instead of haters, tonight, Nellie and the Kid get to come running out to face the full fury of the Shaq-armed Suns. Keys to victory? Sure...

Okay, the real reason why I’m writing this post is that I couldn’t stand seeing that pic of Kirilenko anymore, at least not as the first post on our respectable site. So, looking at this picture makes me think of something way more…I don’t know, Berkeley. Even...

Espn.com has an interesting retrospective on the ABA just as “Semi-Pro” is about to hit the theaters. Is Jackie Moon a morph of Rick Barry and Bill Walton? Don’t know, but I do know that I’d much rather have Jackie givin’ me some color commentary on...

This picture says it all - “partners in crime.” Or maybe it says “partners in ‘Father-Son Halloween Beer Bash.’” Not sure, but I know it’s awesome. Plus, it definitely looks like Nellie’s idea. He’s like, “C’mon son...

Indeed, the FTB inbox is a wonderous land where questions that might otherwise be awkward make perfect sense. A couple of weeks ago, we received the following letter.

It turns out that we FTB’ers have more in common with our avatar than we thought. He digs the old-school unis. We dig the old-school unis. He first dunked way back in 1994 or thereabouts. Me too! But there’s more. The first album he bought was A Tribe Called Quest’...

The Reebok “Framed” campaign went all YouTube the other day. They dropped the Baron Davis short film (above) to a somewhat confused response from the blogosphere. Perhaps that’s because the OG art of roller disco has suffered mightily in the intervening 30 years...

In the interest of context, we at FTB offer you an opportunity to see where Baron stacks up in the pantheon of roller disco. First up, BD's clip. Personally, he's lightweight clean with it. But where on earth did he get that 'fit, much less the moves? Well, now that you...

SITE INFORMATION
Fear the Beard
The beard is a talisman of belief, of a swagger, of a mentality that has been missing from the East Bay in general—and the Golden State Warriors specifically—for far too long. And while the beard is the perfect symbol of the basketball renaissance, we at fearthebeard.org wish to nominate it as a totem of East Bay pride that extends to a culture larger than professional basketball.
