"content": "\u003cp>News that the NFL's owners approved a plan to move the St. Louis Rams back to Los Angeles next season is causing excitement in California — and bitter dismay in St. Louis, where fans and officials alike say they feel betrayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late on Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/12/462848857/nfl-votes-to-move-rams-to-los-angeles-with-option-for-chargers-to-join-them\">the NFL endorsed Rams owner Stan Kroenke's proposal\u003c/a> to build a $1.86 billion stadium in Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles. It also gave the San Diego Chargers an option to share the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, St. Louis fans vented their sadness and anger, mixed with appreciation for the franchise that won a Super Bowl in 2000. One very conspicuous message came from Andy Cohen, a St. Louis native who hosts the talk show \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live/season-13/episode-8/videos/andy-chooses-stan-kroenke-as-jackhole\">Watch What Happens Live\u003c/a>\" on the Bravo network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"V6dAbVoSgI3hKQWH7dSqP8wz31SXxP8n\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can't forgive this,\" Cohen said, in a segment in which he noted that St. Louis had recently topped t\u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/ranking-americas-top-sports-cities-in-2015new-york-ok-philadelphia-terrible-1451696231\">he Wall Street Journal's\u003c/a> list of America's top sports cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing Kroenke through the camera, Cohen said, \"As a proud St. Louisan, I want to give you something on behalf of my hometown.\" He proceeded to make a rude gesture with both hands, saying, \"That's for you, buddy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When news of the move emerged during Tuesday night's St. Louis Blues NHL game, fans inside Scottrade Center took up a loud chant to air their disdain for Kroenke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/kingbrian_/status/687139607687729152\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rams' exit is particularly galling for some in St. Louis because officials had offered a deal to build a $1.1 billion riverfront stadium — only to learn last week that Kroenke had sharply criticized the city in his NFL application to move the franchise, calling St. Louis a \"struggling\" place where the population isn't projected to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No NFL club would be interested\" in the city's plan for a new stadium, \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/294704700?access_key=key-TDpB4kf7vHtfPavo22Dy&allow_share=true&escape=false&view_mode=scroll\">the application said\u003c/a>, adding later, \"The public contribution is only $355 million.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those and other observations in the document set off a wave of negative reaction in St. Louis.

"content": "\u003cp>NFL turf consultant George Toma has been called everything from \"the god of sod\" to \"the nitty-gritty dirt man\" after preparing the natural turf for every single Super Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if any stadium needs the 86-year-old's golden rake, it's Levi's. The sod has been replaced several times, partly because chunks of dirt have been popping up and plaguing the 49ers new digs in Santa Clara for two years. In October, a Baltimore Ravens placekicker missed a field goal when the sod fell apart underneath him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toma is confident that will not happen when Super Bowl 50 is played at Levi's on Feb. 7. He is among dozens of groundskeepers laying down 75,000 square feet of new Super Bowl sod that came rolled up like enormous rugs.

To score at least 10 points, collect at least 10 rebounds and dish out at least 10 assists in a game, a player needs to excel in many aspects of the sport.

The other is Tom Gola, who played with the Warriors from 1955 to 1962.

To score at least 10 points, collect at least 10 rebounds and dish out at least 10 assists in a game, a player needs to excel in many aspects of the sport. He has to do the dirty work, not just the sexy things that show up on SportsCenter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his first three seasons, Green had only one such game.

Who’s he tied with? Someone named Wilt Chamberlain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green is just the second player in team history to record three straight triple-doubles. The other is Tom Gola, who played with the Warriors from 1955 to 1962. For a scouting report on Gola, let’s turn to famed UCLA coach John Wooden, who called him the \"greatest all-round basketball player.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High praise and stellar company for Draymond Green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10825365\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10825365 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/green-with-trophy-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Green and teammates celebrate at the championship parade in Oakland last June.

After a decline in the homicide rate in 2014, the numbers inched up again in 2015. Two homicides in particular stood out.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">First was the murder of artist\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/09/29/artist-shot-killed-while-working-on-west-oakland-community-mural/\"> Antonio Ramos\u003c/a>, who was killed in late September while painting a mural on an underpass beneath Interstate 580 in West Oakland. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The painting was the idea of a nonprofit group and portrays the vision of an inclusive and renewed West Oakland. It is sprinkled with images of musical notes that seem to sing above the sound of the highway. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among renderings of brightly painted Victorian houses and the faces of children, white doves fly. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the middle of working on the mural, Ramos was shot and killed. He was a young man intent on giving back to his community and the tragic irony of his death -- painting a symbol of peace -- rippled throughout the city.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the year, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/24/oakland-city-council-presidents-grandson-killed-in-street-robbery\">Torian Hughes\u003c/a> -- considered a grandson by City Council president Lynette McElhaney -- was slain in what police say was a robbery homicide. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. \u003cstrong>Fatal Police Shootings\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hashtag that helped define a movement, #\u003ca href=\"https://stories.californiasunday.com/2015-03-01/black-lives-matter/\" target=\"_blank\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a>, began, among other places, in Oakland.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland's police department has been singled out by the Obama administration as a \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/03/oakland-police-reform-115552_Page4.html#.VoUPR8ArLjA\" target=\"_blank\">progressive department\u003c/a> implementing new tactics to work more effectively in the community. But after two years of no fatal officer-involved shootings by the OPD, 2015 saw five killings at the hands of police, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Man-fleeing-Oakland-police-found-dead-after-6394929.php\" target=\"_blank\">at least one death \u003c/a>some saw as suspicious. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The circumstances in each instance were distinct, but the message of Black Lives Matter and other activists was uniform: They criticized OPD as too ready to fire on black men. A group known as Mapping Police Violence ranked \u003ca href=\"http://mappingpoliceviolence.org/2015/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland as the third-most-dangerous city\u003c/a> in the U.S. for being killed by police in 2015. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The city says that each of these cases was justified and that it has strengthened internal review of all instances where officers use force against civilians.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. \u003cstrong>The Coal Wars\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many Oaklanders were angry when they learned that developers of a new logistics facility being built on the site of a former army base want \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/30/a-dust-up-in-oakland-over-plan-to-ship-coal-through-new-terminal\" target=\"_blank\">to export coal through the city\u003c/a>. This got the attention of Mayor Libby Schaaf, who wrote “s\u003ca href=\"http://documents.scribd.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/3khxtyd4w4j07hq.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">top it immediately\u003c/a>” in a letter to investor Phil Tagami.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland officials are now considering what legal options the city has to stop the movement of coal through the city, although it appears there may not be many. There is a clause in the agreement between the city and Tagami’s group that would allow the city to amend the agreement if the project would affect the health or safety of employees or neighbors. A hearing on the issue is scheduled for Feb. 16.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. \u003cstrong> Oakland's 'Soul'\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A distinct feeling of what might be called gentrification anxiety lingered heavily in the air in 2015, like a fog rolling across the bay. There was a widespread sense of dread that seemed to say that nothing less than Oakland's soul was at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given this tension, it is perhaps not surprising that what started out as a noise complaint one night at Lake Merritt by a newer white resident against a group of mostly black drummers ended in an altercation and the police being called.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News spread quickly on social media that there were new bans being enforced at the lake. There weren't, actually, but -- added to reports that some black churches had also been the subject of complaints over late-night choir practices -- many were left feeling that the \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/who-owns-communal-space-in-oakland#t=0:00\" target=\"_blank\">city's culture, especially black culture, was under assault\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. \u003cstrong> Uber\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/23/uber-comes-to-oakland-in-a-big-way\" target=\"_blank\">Uber announced\u003c/a> in September that it would open a major office in Oakland’s Uptown neighborhood,\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Schaaf called it a game-changer. The ride-service giant says it will create between 2,000 and 3,000 new jobs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uber could become a major player in defining the future of downtown Oakland when its office opens in 2017. Since the purchase was made on the private market, the company wasn’t required to provide any specific community benefits beyond a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/10/uber-oakland-affordable-housing-fee-gentrification.html\" target=\"_blank\">$1 million affordable housing\u003c/a> fee. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some are concerned that, as Oakland attracts more large powerful companies, the housing market will price out current residents, as has happened in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/09/24/welcome-to-oakland-uber-a-few-tips-for-the-big-move/\" target=\"_blank\">Read some tips KQED has for Uber here\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. \u003cstrong>The Warriors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/16/game-6-warriors-look-to-clinch-nba-championship\" target=\"_blank\">Golden State Warriors winning\u003c/a> their first championship in 40 years made this year’s list. They were (and continue to be) the best team in the NBA. In June, the Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games and brought \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/miss-the-warriors-parade-weve-got-you-covered\" target=\"_blank\">a huge celebration to downtown Oakland\u003c/a>. This season, the team is off to an even better start.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/congratulations-warriors-fans-heres-to-you\" target=\"_blank\">“Curry with the sauce all day.”\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. \u003cstrong>The Curfew\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of Schaaf's most \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2015/06/05/oakland-councilmembers-question-police-overspending-to-crack-down-on-protesters\">publicly criticized acts\u003c/a> of the year was when she instructed Oakland police to enforce a “protest curfew” to shut down \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-four-arrested-in-oakland-protests-20150525-story.html\">unauthorized protests after dark\u003c/a>. The new policy got off to a rocky start when officers tried it out on a\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2015/05/22/oakland-mayor-libby-schaaf-institutes-curfew-on-nighttime-street-protest\"> peaceful protest organized by black women\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Schaaf says that the policy helps stop looting, actual implementation by police seems to have ended. The backlash from many activists and civil rights groups, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/blog/aclu-oakland-protest-curfew-let-people-march\">ACLU, \u003c/a>helped set the tone for an antagonistic relationship between the mayor and the city’s activists. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. \u003cstrong>Bizarre Brawls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This technically did not happen in Oakland, but at an Alameda City Council meeting,\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2015/11/05/a-beat-down-at-alameda-city-hall\" target=\"_blank\"> fisticuffs broke out\u003c/a> between a tenants rights advocate and the director of public works. The tension? Rising rents and evictions in Alameda, and the passage of a moratorium on rent increases. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Former-Black-Panther-leader-claims-Oakland-6645231.php\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland proper, \u003c/a>activist and former Black Panther leader Elaine Brown accused longtime City Councilwoman Desley Brooks of attacking her at a barbecue joint, Everett and Jones. As described in \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/293641717/Elaine-Brown-Complaint\" target=\"_blank\">the complaint Brown filed against the city\u003c/a>, the incident sounds like a soap-opera episode. It sprang from the two discussing -- no surprise --affordable housing. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was a young man intent on giving back to his community and the tragic irony of his death -- painting a symbol of peace -- rippled throughout the city.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the year, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/24/oakland-city-council-presidents-grandson-killed-in-street-robbery\">Torian Hughes\u003c/a> -- considered a grandson by City Council president Lynette McElhaney -- was slain in what police say was a robbery homicide. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. \u003cstrong>Fatal Police Shootings\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hashtag that helped define a movement, #\u003ca href=\"https://stories.californiasunday.com/2015-03-01/black-lives-matter/\" target=\"_blank\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a>, began, among other places, in Oakland.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland's police department has been singled out by the Obama administration as a \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/03/oakland-police-reform-115552_Page4.html#.VoUPR8ArLjA\" target=\"_blank\">progressive department\u003c/a> implementing new tactics to work more effectively in the community. But after two years of no fatal officer-involved shootings by the OPD, 2015 saw five killings at the hands of police, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Man-fleeing-Oakland-police-found-dead-after-6394929.php\" target=\"_blank\">at least one death \u003c/a>some saw as suspicious. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The circumstances in each instance were distinct, but the message of Black Lives Matter and other activists was uniform: They criticized OPD as too ready to fire on black men. A group known as Mapping Police Violence ranked \u003ca href=\"http://mappingpoliceviolence.org/2015/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland as the third-most-dangerous city\u003c/a> in the U.S. for being killed by police in 2015. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The city says that each of these cases was justified and that it has strengthened internal review of all instances where officers use force against civilians.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. \u003cstrong>The Coal Wars\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many Oaklanders were angry when they learned that developers of a new logistics facility being built on the site of a former army base want \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/30/a-dust-up-in-oakland-over-plan-to-ship-coal-through-new-terminal\" target=\"_blank\">to export coal through the city\u003c/a>. This got the attention of Mayor Libby Schaaf, who wrote “s\u003ca href=\"http://documents.scribd.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/3khxtyd4w4j07hq.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">top it immediately\u003c/a>” in a letter to investor Phil Tagami.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland officials are now considering what legal options the city has to stop the movement of coal through the city, although it appears there may not be many. There is a clause in the agreement between the city and Tagami’s group that would allow the city to amend the agreement if the project would affect the health or safety of employees or neighbors. A hearing on the issue is scheduled for Feb. 16.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. \u003cstrong> Oakland's 'Soul'\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A distinct feeling of what might be called gentrification anxiety lingered heavily in the air in 2015, like a fog rolling across the bay. There was a widespread sense of dread that seemed to say that nothing less than Oakland's soul was at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given this tension, it is perhaps not surprising that what started out as a noise complaint one night at Lake Merritt by a newer white resident against a group of mostly black drummers ended in an altercation and the police being called.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News spread quickly on social media that there were new bans being enforced at the lake. There weren't, actually, but -- added to reports that some black churches had also been the subject of complaints over late-night choir practices -- many were left feeling that the \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/who-owns-communal-space-in-oakland#t=0:00\" target=\"_blank\">city's culture, especially black culture, was under assault\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. \u003cstrong> Uber\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/23/uber-comes-to-oakland-in-a-big-way\" target=\"_blank\">Uber announced\u003c/a> in September that it would open a major office in Oakland’s Uptown neighborhood,\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Schaaf called it a game-changer.

Since the purchase was made on the private market, the company wasn’t required to provide any specific community benefits beyond a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/10/uber-oakland-affordable-housing-fee-gentrification.html\" target=\"_blank\">$1 million affordable housing\u003c/a> fee. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some are concerned that, as Oakland attracts more large powerful companies, the housing market will price out current residents, as has happened in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/09/24/welcome-to-oakland-uber-a-few-tips-for-the-big-move/\" target=\"_blank\">Read some tips KQED has for Uber here\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. \u003cstrong>The Warriors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/16/game-6-warriors-look-to-clinch-nba-championship\" target=\"_blank\">Golden State Warriors winning\u003c/a> their first championship in 40 years made this year’s list.

The backlash from many activists and civil rights groups, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/blog/aclu-oakland-protest-curfew-let-people-march\">ACLU, \u003c/a>helped set the tone for an antagonistic relationship between the mayor and the city’s activists. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. \u003cstrong>Bizarre Brawls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This technically did not happen in Oakland, but at an Alameda City Council meeting,\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2015/11/05/a-beat-down-at-alameda-city-hall\" target=\"_blank\"> fisticuffs broke out\u003c/a> between a tenants rights advocate and the director of public works.

In the aftermath of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/02/many-casualties-in-mass-shooting-in-san-bernardino\" target=\"_blank\">the San Bernardino shootings\u003c/a> earlier this month, the twin New Year’s Day events have earned DHS’s Special Event Assessment Rating 1 — a rare designation given to just a handful of annual national events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pasadena Chief of Police Phillip Sanchez says the ranking means greater access to federal resources to ensure public safety. “More resources that we’ve traditionally not had access to,” says Sanchez, speaking in his office at police headquarters just a short jog from the parade route along Colorado Boulevard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We get more people, more scanners, more cameras, more rapid response teams that I think will all be very helpful for creating a total circle of security around the Rose Bowl and along the parade route,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities and \u003ca href=\"http://www.tournamentofroses.com/parade-safety-guidelines\">event organizers \u003c/a>say some of the added security will be obvious in the form of more cops on the street.

The game was also a going-away party for \u003ca href=\"http://www.raiders.com/team/roster/Charles-Woodson/bfbdbe05-8af7-4d76-90dc-d68c8b16a41a\" target=\"_blank\">Raider legend Charles Woodson\u003c/a>, who has announced he's retiring at the end of the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Raiders were eliminated from the postseason, if they win their last game they'll finish 8-8, which would be pretty good for a team that finished 3-13 last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the back of every fan's mind is the realization that this could be the last Raiders game played in Oakland. Next month, team ownership is expected to apply to relocate to Los Angeles, which hasn't hosted pro football in 20 years. Two other teams, the St. Louis Rams and the San Diego Chargers, are also interested in moving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's very unlikely the NFL would say yes to all three, but they could greenlight one or two relocations. Raiders majority owner Mark Davis has said his first choice is to stay in Oakland, but he wants a new stadium, and L.A. offers a better chance of getting one with less investment on his part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That leaves Raider fans in limbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, judging by the fans I've talked with recently, they are not downhearted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Raiders played the Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 6, I stopped by the tailgate party put on by the Bad Boyz of BBQ every home game. Actually, it's more of a banquet. Not many tailgates make it to the Food Network, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_LfojgcXuQ\" target=\"_blank\">this one has.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Kingsford” Kirk Bronsord said the tailgate started as a gathering of four friends in 1995, the first year the Raiders returned to Oakland from Los Angeles, where they played from 1982 to 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We couldn't get our season tickets fast enough,” he says. Now they feed 200-300 people a year who pay $25 a head. Even non-Raider fans are welcome, according to chef Chris Leister.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't care who you are. If you're a good person, come on in, enjoy yourself. If not, well, go away,” Leister said. As proof, he introduced me to X-Factor, a Kansas City Chiefs superfan dressed head to toe in the opposing team's colors.“This is the best BBQ in the NFL, right here!” he yelled (high praise for someone from Kansas City).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Raider fans traveled a long way for this game, like Manuel Silveira of Myrtle Beach, S.C. He scoffed at the idea he'd ever desert the Raiders. Showing me his tattooed arms, he said, “I've got too much Raiders ink on my body not to stick with 'em.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silveira has no tats or gear from their L.A. period. Even though it wouldn't be any harder for him to fly to L.A. from Myrtle Beach, he doesn't want the team to move. He thinks Oakland is an essential part of what makes the Raiders the Raiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's pretty much what I heard from fans at \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickys.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ricky's Sports Theatre and Grill\u003c/a> in San Leandro two Sundays later, before the game against Green Bay.

The game was also a going-away party for \u003ca href=\"http://www.raiders.com/team/roster/Charles-Woodson/bfbdbe05-8af7-4d76-90dc-d68c8b16a41a\" target=\"_blank\">Raider legend Charles Woodson\u003c/a>, who has announced he's retiring at the end of the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Raiders were eliminated from the postseason, if they win their last game they'll finish 8-8, which would be pretty good for a team that finished 3-13 last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the back of every fan's mind is the realization that this could be the last Raiders game played in Oakland. Next month, team ownership is expected to apply to relocate to Los Angeles, which hasn't hosted pro football in 20 years. Two other teams, the St. Louis Rams and the San Diego Chargers, are also interested in moving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's very unlikely the NFL would say yes to all three, but they could greenlight one or two relocations. Raiders majority owner Mark Davis has said his first choice is to stay in Oakland, but he wants a new stadium, and L.A. offers a better chance of getting one with less investment on his part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Actually, it's more of a banquet. Not many tailgates make it to the Food Network, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_LfojgcXuQ\" target=\"_blank\">this one has.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Kingsford” Kirk Bronsord said the tailgate started as a gathering of four friends in 1995, the first year the Raiders returned to Oakland from Los Angeles, where they played from 1982 to 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We couldn't get our season tickets fast enough,” he says. Now they feed 200-300 people a year who pay $25 a head. Even non-Raider fans are welcome, according to chef Chris Leister.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't care who you are. If you're a good person, come on in, enjoy yourself. If not, well, go away,” Leister said. As proof, he introduced me to X-Factor, a Kansas City Chiefs superfan dressed head to toe in the opposing team's colors.“This is the best BBQ in the NFL, right here!” he yelled (high praise for someone from Kansas City).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Raider fans traveled a long way for this game, like Manuel Silveira of Myrtle Beach, S.C. He scoffed at the idea he'd ever desert the Raiders. Showing me his tattooed arms, he said, “I've got too much Raiders ink on my body not to stick with 'em.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silveira has no tats or gear from their L.A. period. Even though it wouldn't be any harder for him to fly to L.A. from Myrtle Beach, he doesn't want the team to move. He thinks Oakland is an essential part of what makes the Raiders the Raiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's pretty much what I heard from fans at \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickys.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ricky's Sports Theatre and Grill\u003c/a> in San Leandro two Sundays later, before the game against Green Bay. Ricky's is a multi-room establishment packed with giant TVs and Raiders memorabilia. It was a pioneer among sports bars in using satellite dishes and video to show distant games to fans, back in the days when most people were limited to a few over-the-air broadcast signals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Raiders played in L.A., from 1982 to 1995, Ricky's became the capital of Raiders-Nation-in-exile. Even if it would be good for business, owner Ricky Ricardo doesn't want that title back. “We went through 13 years of that,” he sighed. “I'm not looking forward to that situation, but I'll deal with it in a hopefully mature way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10806051\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10806051 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/Raiders-12-06-2015-006-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Raiders 12-06-2015 006\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/Raiders-12-06-2015-006-800x449.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/Raiders-12-06-2015-006-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/Raiders-12-06-2015-006-768x431.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/Raiders-12-06-2015-006-1440x808.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/Raiders-12-06-2015-006-1920x1078.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/Raiders-12-06-2015-006-1180x662.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/Raiders-12-06-2015-006-960x539.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">All kinds of meat go on the grills at the Bad Boyz of BBQ tailgate at the Oakland Coliseum, Dec. 6, 2015.

"content": "\u003cp>Dave Henderson, the former major league outfielder who hit one of the most famous home runs in postseason history, died Sunday after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson died early Sunday morning at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, according to a statement from the Mariners, one of five teams Henderson played for in his career. Henderson had a kidney transplant in late October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson was best known for his home run in the 1986 AL Championship Series for Boston. With the Red Sox one strike from elimination in Game 5, Henderson hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth against the California Angels to send the series back to Boston. The Red Sox won Games 6 and 7 to advance to the World Series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His home run in Game 5 of the 1986 ALCS was a signature moment in Red Sox history, and we shared his unbridled joy when he hopped into the air as the ball cleared the fence in Anaheim,\" Red Sox President Sam Kennedy said in a statement. \"Hendu played just two seasons in Boston, but we always regarded him as one of us, and are grateful for the time we were able to enjoy his talent and infectious personality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beyond his memorable playoff moment, Henderson was a reliable contributor to four teams that reached the World Series and played 14 seasons total in the majors. His greatest success came from 1988-91 with Oakland. During that four-year stretch, the A's went to the World Series three times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson played in 575 regular-season games during that span, hitting .275 with 84 homers, 123 doubles and 322 RBIs. Henderson was an All-Star in 1991.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Henderson was an instrumental part of the A's 1989 World Series championship club and an even more impactful member of the A's family and community,\" the A's said in a statement. \"Hendu and his smile will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson began his career in Seattle as the first draft pick in the history of the Mariners franchise in 1977. He made his debut in 1981 and played parts of six seasons with the Mariners. Henderson was traded to Boston during the 1986 season and later played for San Francisco and Kansas City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was a devoted father to his two sons and always willing to help someone in need,\" Mariners President Kevin Mather said in a statement. \"Dave was one of the most popular Mariners in our history, but Dave was also one of the most popular players in Red Sox and A's history. He had a special ability to connect with people, both inside the game and in the communities in which he lived. I never saw him at the ballpark, or on the golf course, without a big smile on his face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his playing career ended, Henderson spent time as a broadcaster for the Mariners and ran fantasy camps for A's and Mariners fans. He also raised funds to support research of Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affected his son, Chase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson was born July 21, 1958, in Merced, California. He is survived by sons Chase and Trent, wife Nancy and his first wife, Loni.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson died early Sunday morning at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, according to a statement from the Mariners, one of five teams Henderson played for in his career. Henderson had a kidney transplant in late October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson was best known for his home run in the 1986 AL Championship Series for Boston. With the Red Sox one strike from elimination in Game 5, Henderson hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth against the California Angels to send the series back to Boston. The Red Sox won Games 6 and 7 to advance to the World Series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His home run in Game 5 of the 1986 ALCS was a signature moment in Red Sox history, and we shared his unbridled joy when he hopped into the air as the ball cleared the fence in Anaheim,\" Red Sox President Sam Kennedy said in a statement. \"Hendu played just two seasons in Boston, but we always regarded him as one of us, and are grateful for the time we were able to enjoy his talent and infectious personality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beyond his memorable playoff moment, Henderson was a reliable contributor to four teams that reached the World Series and played 14 seasons total in the majors. His greatest success came from 1988-91 with Oakland. During that four-year stretch, the A's went to the World Series three times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Our thoughts are with his family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson began his career in Seattle as the first draft pick in the history of the Mariners franchise in 1977. He made his debut in 1981 and played parts of six seasons with the Mariners. Henderson was traded to Boston during the 1986 season and later played for San Francisco and Kansas City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was a devoted father to his two sons and always willing to help someone in need,\" Mariners President Kevin Mather said in a statement. \"Dave was one of the most popular Mariners in our history, but Dave was also one of the most popular players in Red Sox and A's history. He had a special ability to connect with people, both inside the game and in the communities in which he lived. I never saw him at the ballpark, or on the golf course, without a big smile on his face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his playing career ended, Henderson spent time as a broadcaster for the Mariners and ran fantasy camps for A's and Mariners fans. He also raised funds to support research of Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affected his son, Chase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson was born July 21, 1958, in Merced, California. He is survived by sons Chase and Trent, wife Nancy and his first wife, Loni.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The longest streak ever is 33 games, set by the ’71-72 Lakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(To get WAY ahead of ourselves for just a minute, a potential 33rd victory would have to come in a marquee Christmas Day matchup against LeBron James and the Cavs. Think the NBA and ABC would be a TAD excited about that one?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you still somehow can't get excited about this team (are you paying attention?), read \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/blog/golden-state-warriors/post/_/id/925/to-the-15-0-warriors-joy-is-a-weapon\" target=\"_blank\">this description of the Warriors' style of play\u003c/a> from ESPN's Ethan Strauss:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“To the Warriors ... joy is a weapon, an essential aspect of winning. Their fun is your demise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This team boasts an esprit de corps that’s as much an ingredient to winning as it is a product of winning. Golden State unleashes bench celebrations that rival their alluring play on the floor. It’s all part of the joy, all part of the competition.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>For all the arrests, concussions and general handwringing that characterize sports, less often is the word \"joy\" used. Even more rare is it actually warranted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/668901921479139328\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN's Basketball Power Index\u003c/a>, there might be more joy on the horizon for this team and their fans — the Warriors have a 95 percent probability of winning Tuesday night to go to 16-0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have a 4 percent chance of entering the Dec. 25 game against the Cavs unbeaten, and a 10 percent chance of winning 72 games, which would match the all-time record, set by the '95-96 Chicago Bulls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This graphic from ESPN Stats & Information compares those two squads:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
