Ku is known as The Warrior, the god of the war and chiefs. As a side gig, he's also the god of the forests, canoe making and fishing. Apparently, he was pretty 'bout it. And he also didn't have too many friends. Why? But, of course. It was because of his heated temper and...

Say what you will about the selection of Stephen Jackson (aka Crazy Eyez) as a member of the newly formed tri-captain leadership, but I have come to expect the unexpected from Don Nelson (aka. Obi-Wan Kenobi). Madman or genius, the outcome is the same. Pure entertainment.

A scary injury in training camp felled Monta Ellis yesterday. Before terrifying you too much with the details of the injury, which left Ellis motionless on the floor for half an hour and hospitalized, I'll come with the happy ending: Ellis checked out of the hospital early this...

I'm lovin' Jim Barnett's vlog. Hey, I listen anytime my boy has got the mic in hand. In his 21st season as an analyst fro the Dubs, he is the undisputed voice of the Warriors. For the youngsters who don't know, Mr. JB was a formidable player in his day and was even...

Holy mother of Pappy Waldorf! The new AP and USA Today polls are out today. And after winning at Oregon Saturday, the University of California Golden Bears are number three in the country. Seriously. Number three. Cal.

Nice video blog piece on the Dubs from Chiang Mai,Thailand. You might recognize our friend Nate from "Ghostride the Volvo". I have to say that thier travel vlog and the blog "Huge in Asia" is worthy of review and props. Anyway, good stuff Nate and Alan. I like your...

Reports have it that the Warriors WILL end up with a Timberwolves player after all. Troy Hudson. Seems like a solid choice to back up Boom. The dread head with musical aspirations from Southside Chi-Town (often compared to Oak-Town) should be a good cultural fit for the Bay.

I hope you're wearing your flare because TGI GSWs!!! Boom Dizzle with White Chocolate - could this be what's on the dessert menu this fall? Do you think Nellie got busy with one of those Jack Daniel's Samplers with extra sauce and put a call in to Pat Riley? (BTW- At the...

Well, no more fumbling around with the name. The our Lithuanian brother is leaving the building in Oakland. I wanted it to work out, but it never materialize. Stews, slaw, stuffed. Blah. It all smells a bit off to me and it has been known to cause flatulence in some.

After spending some time soliciting feedback from the FTB crew and a bit more from our greater community, I took away some clear directives. Unfortunately, a couple are a bit at odds. It was evident that Oakland should be the named home to the Warriors, over the endearing, yet ridiculously...

Time to play Find The Beard. He's in there though. But why is Common name checking the Clippers in the song?

Not at all happy about the rumors linking Baron Davis to a certain desparate housewife, Diana Taurasi has decided to take matters into her own hands. First, she managed to find time to put together this heartfelt plea on Yardbarker. Then she went out for game two of the WNBA finals...
Vlade, pray Kosta can grow a beard.

As I read the Warriors feature on Kosta, I couldn't help but hope that with Biedrins and now Perovic, the Warrior's might address their perennial "get a big man" complex. It is an issue that has haunted the Dubs and led to more bad trades, drafts and investments then...

This is why being a nationally syndicated sports columnist probably doesn't suck. Bloomberg columnist Scott Soshnick decided that free agency should be as available to fans as it is to atheletes. Fair enough. So he decided to make his pitch to each of 122 teams in the four major...

Jahvid Best. He is a freshman who just finished an impressive debut in Cal's win over the 15th-ranked volunteers of Tennessee. After a 48-touchdown senior season at Salesian High, he is the newest home-grown phenom for the 12th-ranked Bears.

Our boy Barry Zito has made an attempt to get his face on the Fear the Beard. Unfortunately, I have deemed the hair in question to be an overblown 5 o'clock shadow. Fellow Bay blog, Say Hey, broke a story that ties his reclaimed swagger to said whiskers. However, I feel some additional...

In case you were looking for a REAL reason to vote for one guy over another next year, here's a look at Barak Obama on the hardwood. Better than Clinton playing saxophone.

Well, the pre-season Battle of the Bay was taken by the 49ers, 26-21. However both teams gave some reason for optimism. At least that they should out perform last year's results. Not that this is a very difficult task for the lowly Raiders.
Vote for #23.

Brains, brawn, baby hooks and slow as molasses in the dead of winter. That's just not going to work in Nellie's run, gun and run some more schemes. So, it looks like it is over for the longest-tenured Dub ? Adonal. My man is far from poetry in motion ? but it's really hard...

The great "East Bay Culture Blog With a High Basketball IQ," FearTheBeard.org, presents a cynically insightful perspective on Recordgate.
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.
