Whoa, man. You’re like totally taking me back. In ‘94, I was in a different space. It was a different era, even. A close friend had just become, like, a kinda mid-major rock star. He bought a fat crib up in Sonoma and had this crazy housewarming. Since it was a rock-star...

I’m watching the Super Tuesday election returns and chomping down Tums right now, but this just turned up in my inbox. It’s an excerpt from the letter Barack Obama sent out to his supporters tonight. I almost choked on my antacid when a familiar phrase jumped off the page...
A beard of their own.

With the competition in the West only getting tougher, it seems the Lakers are are trying to shore up their roster by adding a very hardy (however, not so proper) beard of their own. Enter Pau Gasol. The Spanish 7-footer with the unkempt Grizzly Adams beard.
After giving up the not...

If the assembled celebrities in the above video don’t move you, or if you are inclined to a more literary life, read the the letter from novelist Toni Morrison pledging her endorsement of Barack Obama’s candidacy. Regardless, whatever your persuasion, head to the polls...

With the campaign turning a tad negative in recent days, I figured that now would be a good time to do a little negative campaigning. It’s Hater Tuesdays. It’s an election day. I’m home sick with the flu. Don’t get me wrong though. I’ll still punch...

And the hate just keeps on coming. This, well, actually it renders me strangely nauseous. I think it’s AK-47’s guy in a van in front of the middle school expression. But, I really have to start paying more attention. Apparently, Free Darko broke these pictures more than...

We’ll I’ve been sitting at Chicago O’Hare for almost 3 hours, and, snow willing, I’ll only be here only another 3. I’m my way to the Las Vegas, for business trip, part duex (the better half I hope). And although my journey from Appleton, WI to Sin City...

The enormous growth on Mankins’ face that covers far down his neck. The top-flight guard, a first-round pick by New England in 2005, has been growing it since August. In all that time, he hasn’t taken a razor to it to trim it in any way, the hair growing in undulating...

As FTB mused, prognosticated, then confirmed (with Barnes at the Adidas store), C-Webb is returning to the Warriors. In fact, it sounds like he’ll be in Oakland by tomorrow. Read the article here.
We are hopeful. This could be a good thing. A big body (listed at 6′10&...
Play it again, Dizzle.

Once again, last night’s game provided the perfect stage for some vintage beardosity. Childhood friends and summertime celebrity-game cohosts Paul Pierce and Boom Dizzle provided the theatrics, with the spoils going to the most robust of whisker. Watch it again. Why not?

It probably did not go unnoticed by many of you that there was a competition raging within the competition last night between the Wizards and the Warriors, and no, I’m not talking about G-Wiz vs. Thunder for the title of The NBA’s Crappiest Mascot. No, I’m talking...

I got a fever. Oh, I do. And it’s only going to be cured when someone smacks this douchenozzle directly in his extra douche-y-ass mug. I make little secret of this: I do not like me no Ron Artest. I do not like him in a car. I do not like him in a bar. [...]

Barack Obama is superstitious about playing hoops. How cool is that? It would be even cooler if Nike got him a shoe deal. Goodbye, Air Jordans; hello, Air Obamas.

The Golden State Warriors suffered a difficult loss to the Houston Rockets tonight. After coming back to close a significant point differential at the half, a disturbing accident involving a fake tiger limited the team’s killer instinct down the stretch. Al Harrington...

Look at that stare. Usually you would need to go to a trailer park in Sparks Nevada to catch a father-son stare like that. And that’s one of the reasons I love Sean Penn, and his appearance at the Oracle last night sporting a beard makes me love him more. Why would you want [...]

First, he ghostrode the Volvo to save the A’s. Then he vlogged it up about former Dubs from Thailand. Now, as further proof of his unrelenting East Bay-ness, Nate Houghteling and company are putting two of San Francisco’s preeminent male douchebage archetypes on blast...

In a move to court the polling-place power of aging hipsters, Sheperd Fairey has joined the list of people endorsing Barack Obama’s campaign for president. This marks the end of irony for Fairey, who’s propaganda-themed street art has, for years, relied on the emotional...

This pretty much speaks for itself. It’s from the Bulls game when Dizzle went for 40. So, you’re getting straight thrashed on one end and then you have to hear all of this chatter when you finally get the rock.

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.
