Alice has a masters in journalism from Columbia University and teaches at Fresno State. She is a California Healthline Regional Correspondent and a frequent contributor to Success magazine. In her free time, she skis and hikes, throws pottery, practices piano and looks out the window.",

She couldn’t find a jersey-shaped cookie cutter, so she uses one in the shape of a baby’s onesy. “We’re cutting out the onesy and cutting off the bottom of it to look like a jersey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also a Kaepernick special at Main Street Footers, where twenty-year-old employee Molly Amant said their foot-long hot dog comes with chili, coleslaw, jalapenos and special sauce. “Unique, spicy and hot,” she said, comparing them to Kaepernick. Amant has worked here four years and said sales have doubled in the last week. “It’s been crazy busy, like insanely busy,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others said some are even driving from places like Reno, where Kaepernick played college football, so they can watch the big game in his hometown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the barbershop, customer James White was getting ready to leave. Barber Ruben Hernandez asked him one more time if he’ll watch the Super Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I probably will have to now,” said White, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has a change of plans,” said Hernandez. “Earlier he said ‘probably not.’ I thought ‘oh my gosh.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a tailgate party in town this weekend — and the mayor has proclaimed Saturday and Sunday “Go Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers Weekend.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>For the first time in four years, there will be no postseason baseball in the Bay Area. Both the A’s and Giants finished out of playoff contention wrapped up their seasons on Sunday. That’s bad news for fans. But for one of the hardest-working people in Bay Area sports, it’s a chance to catch his breath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the last 21 years, Clay Wood has been obsessed with the look and feel of grass and dirt. While most Californians are letting their lawns crisp up and wither away during a five-year drought, Wood is making sure his is perfectly spongy and just the right hue of green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wood’s “lawn” is the playing field at the Oakland Coliseum, where he is the head groundskeeper. The Coliseum is the last stadium in the country that’s shared by a Major League Baseball and an NFL team. So by this time of the year, Wood’s job can be, well, frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thinking that it’s 2015, it’s asinine, I mean it’s just crazy that they can’t figure out a stadium situation,” Wood says. “It’s been 21 years now since the Raiders have been back, and we’re still in the same place we were in 1995.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the baseball-only season, essentially April to mid-August, Oakland’s field is considered one of the best in baseball, by both A’s players and those from opposing teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that all changes after the A’s start taking turns with the Raiders. To go from football back to baseball is a massive operation. Dozens of workers, including stagehands, crane operators and janitors, must all work in tandem to remove extra seating from the outfield and infield grass, change signage, swap the tarps that cover the top deck seating, and exchange goal posts for foul poles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hn_6rcaPIE&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clay and his modest crew of eight have their hands full making the conversion. After a football game, or sometimes two in a row (as was the case before the last A’s homestand), the grass of the facility can get pretty roughed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the football game itself takes a toll on the turf — it is, after all, a sport centered around men slamming other men into the grass with great force — Wood says it’s the changeover itself that really hurts. In order to facilitate the movement of huge, heavy cranes that place and remove extra football seating, layers of plywood and felt are laid over the outfield grass, creating a makeshift roadway. Wood likens the treatment to suffocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like if somebody were to take you and duct tape your mouth, and lock you in a closet, and while they’re at it, duct tape your nose, too, so you can’t breathe. Basically, the turf — it’s a living, breathing thing; it needs sun, it needs water, it needs all those things to live, and when it’s covered with plywood and hundreds of tons of cranes, it’s not getting any of those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Athletics’ vice president of stadium operations, David Rinetti, marvels at the ease with which Wood and his small crew handle the changeover, saying it’s like watching magic. They’ve done it so many times, they know the routine backward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re also perfectionists,” Rinetti says. “They want the field to be perfect. They treat it as if it’s their baby, and they do everything possible to protect it, and to make it so it will be playable for our games here, for baseball.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the baseball players, especially the outfielders, the difference between April and September turf is big. After coming home from a recent road trip, A’s outfielder Sam Fuld said returning to the post-changeover grass reminded him a bit of his high school baseball field in New Hampshire, which was like a cow pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just more uneven, and on ground balls you just have to really focus in, and not take anything for granted, and realize that there’s a good chance you’re going to get a bad hop,” Fuld says. “You have to be conservative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Wood, seeing the field he and his crew have labored over change from a masterpiece of cross-hatched green grass and finely detailed dirt into a trainwreck of neon-yellow crusty turf and divots — it hurts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of a punch in the gut,” Wood says. “How does it get from that point to this point? In April, May, June, all the way up until that first conversion, my crew and I, we put in a ton of time and we take a ton of pride in what we do, and try to make it the best possible playing surface that we possibly can. And then all that work and all that effort and everything is just kind of out the window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the future of where both the A’s and the Raiders will play still up in the air — like a towering pop fly, or a Hail Mary that just won’t come down — there’s no way to know when the Coliseum in Oakland will be home to just one sport and one field. The Raiders’ current lease expires at the end of this football season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now, the man tasked with running the only remaining professional football and baseball facility in America doesn’t know whether he’s done the last baseball-to-football changeover of his career. And he’s not wistful about the possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, to be honest, I’m tired, really tired and looking forward to a break,” Wood says. “And, unfortunately, that’s going to mean baseball coming to an end, but that’s just the way it goes some years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wood and his grounds crew are also in charge of the field for the Raiders’ season, but he says it’s a more manageable schedule with less of those very long days. It will be about five months before they remove every last inch of the grass from the stadium, and lay down brand new sod just before baseball begins again in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Oakland rallied in the final minute to beat the Baltimore Ravens, 37-33. The national media's main question after the game: \"What happened to Baltimore?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, Baltimore must have blown the game because the Raiders are such a bad team. True, the Raiders have been losing for a long time. The team hasn’t made the playoffs since 2002, when they lost in the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay. So no one wants to buy in too quickly and get burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not getting burned is the philosophy of professional bettors and those who make the betting lines. Going into the 16-game regular season, the over-versus-under win total for the 49ers was 7.5 at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.westgatedestinations.com/nevada/las-vegas/westgate-las-vegas-hotel-casino/casino/race-sports-book\" target=\"_blank\">Westgate Race and Sports Superbook\u003c/a> in Las Vegas. That means if you thought the team would go 8-8, you would bet the over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RAIDERS/status/645745496821075968\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But so many people bet the under that the number dropped to 7 wins, then 6.5 wins. A rather large and rare move of a win total line. And it was all because the bettors (both those who know what they are doing and those who don’t) couldn't stop betting for losses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a different story for the Raiders.

The charges are driving under the influence with a prior offense, hit and run with property damage, and vandalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith was suspended for the first nine games last season for violating the NFL's substance abuse and personal conduct policies. The league says he is currently eligible to play despite his latest arrest. But the NFL is still looking into that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith will be arraigned on the misdemeanor charges on Oct. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Ex-49er and Stanford Cardinal Jonathan Martin, who was at the center of a notorious NFL bullying scandal, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/J_Martin71/status/636462370739589124\" target=\"_blank\">posted on Facebook\u003c/a> Wednesday a highly personal and emotional account of the torment he felt during his playing career. Writing in the second person and the present tense, Martin wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Your job leads you to attempt to kill yourself on multiple occasions. Your self-perceived social inadequacy dominates your every waking moment & thought. You're petrified going to work. You either sleep 12, 14, 16, hours a day when you can, or not at all. You drink too much, smoke weed constantly, have trouble focusing on doing your job, playing the sport that you grew up obsessed with.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Martin's essay, which also covers his early alienation as a minority in \"elite private schools,\" ends on a hopeful note:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You let your demons go,\" he wrote, \"knowing that, perhaps, sharing your story can help some other chubby, goofy, socially-isolated, sensitive kid getting bullied in America who feels like no one in the world cares about them. And let them know they aren't alone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin was an offensive tackle who played nine games for the Niners last season and was waived in March. He was then claimed by the Carolina Panthers but retired earlier this month, due to a season-ending back injury. In a \u003ca href=\"http://blackandbluereview.com/jonathan-martin-retirement-explanation/\" target=\"_blank\">tweet that he later deleted\u003c/a>, Martin wrote: \"But, in the end, football was just a job, albeit a fun and well-paying one. Being in a wheelchair at 50 isn't worth any amount of money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Martin left the Miami Dolphins after accusing fellow lineman Richie Incognito and other teammates of bullying him. The case made national headlines and became another occasion to question NFL culture. From a report in the\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/05/sports/football/for-the-nfl-a-question-of-hazing-or-abuse.html\" target=\"_blank\"> New York Times\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For years, young players in the N.F.L. have been subjected to a wide swath of indignities straight from the hallways of high school or the back rooms of fraternity houses. Young players are often expected to carry teammates’ equipment off the field. They are sometimes forced to sing or otherwise entertain teammates on demand, left helplessly taped to goal posts or asked to regularly bring sandwiches or fast food to teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are often called names — Incognito referred to Martin, privately and publicly, as the Big Weirdo. In the glossy program sold at the Dolphins’ Halloween night home game, after Martin left the team, Incognito called Martin the “easiest teammate to scare.” ESPN and The Associated Press, among other outlets, citing unnamed sources, have reported that Incognito sent threatening and racist voice mail and text messages to Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many teams have a tradition of requiring rookies to pay the bill at an annual steakhouse dinner, with free-flowing liquor, where tabs run into the tens of thousands of dollars. One report Monday said Martin was pressured to pay $15,000 toward a trip to Las Vegas that he did not attend. In 2010, Dallas receiver Dez Bryant paid a $54,896 tab.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In 2014, an independent NFL investigator issued a \u003ca href=\"http://63bba9dfdf9675bf3f10-68be460ce43dd2a60dd64ca5eca4ae1d.r37.cf1.rackcdn.com/PaulWeissReport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a> on the situation in Miami that found Incognito and two other linemen \"engaged in a pattern of harassment\" directed at Martin, another unnamed teammateand an assistant trainer. The report revealed that Martin had \"contemplated suicide\" on two occasions in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dolphins then immediately released Incognito. He did not play last year, but was \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000469310/article/bills-sign-richie-incognito-to-oneyear-contract\" target=\"_blank\">signed by the Buffalo Bills\u003c/a> to a one-year contract in February.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Ex-49er and Stanford Cardinal Jonathan Martin, who was at the center of a notorious NFL bullying scandal, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/J_Martin71/status/636462370739589124\" target=\"_blank\">posted on Facebook\u003c/a> Wednesday a highly personal and emotional account of the torment he felt during his playing career. Writing in the second person and the present tense, Martin wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Your job leads you to attempt to kill yourself on multiple occasions. Your self-perceived social inadequacy dominates your every waking moment & thought. You're petrified going to work. You either sleep 12, 14, 16, hours a day when you can, or not at all. You drink too much, smoke weed constantly, have trouble focusing on doing your job, playing the sport that you grew up obsessed with.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Martin's essay, which also covers his early alienation as a minority in \"elite private schools,\" ends on a hopeful note:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You let your demons go,\" he wrote, \"knowing that, perhaps, sharing your story can help some other chubby, goofy, socially-isolated, sensitive kid getting bullied in America who feels like no one in the world cares about them. And let them know they aren't alone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin was an offensive tackle who played nine games for the Niners last season and was waived in March. He was then claimed by the Carolina Panthers but retired earlier this month, due to a season-ending back injury. In a \u003ca href=\"http://blackandbluereview.com/jonathan-martin-retirement-explanation/\" target=\"_blank\">tweet that he later deleted\u003c/a>, Martin wrote: \"But, in the end, football was just a job, albeit a fun and well-paying one. Being in a wheelchair at 50 isn't worth any amount of money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Martin left the Miami Dolphins after accusing fellow lineman Richie Incognito and other teammates of bullying him. The case made national headlines and became another occasion to question NFL culture. From a report in the\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/05/sports/football/for-the-nfl-a-question-of-hazing-or-abuse.html\" target=\"_blank\"> New York Times\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For years, young players in the N.F.L. have been subjected to a wide swath of indignities straight from the hallways of high school or the back rooms of fraternity houses. Young players are often expected to carry teammates’ equipment off the field. They are sometimes forced to sing or otherwise entertain teammates on demand, left helplessly taped to goal posts or asked to regularly bring sandwiches or fast food to teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are often called names — Incognito referred to Martin, privately and publicly, as the Big Weirdo. In the glossy program sold at the Dolphins’ Halloween night home game, after Martin left the team, Incognito called Martin the “easiest teammate to scare.” ESPN and The Associated Press, among other outlets, citing unnamed sources, have reported that Incognito sent threatening and racist voice mail and text messages to Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many teams have a tradition of requiring rookies to pay the bill at an annual steakhouse dinner, with free-flowing liquor, where tabs run into the tens of thousands of dollars. One report Monday said Martin was pressured to pay $15,000 toward a trip to Las Vegas that he did not attend. In 2010, Dallas receiver Dez Bryant paid a $54,896 tab.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In 2014, an independent NFL investigator issued a \u003ca href=\"http://63bba9dfdf9675bf3f10-68be460ce43dd2a60dd64ca5eca4ae1d.r37.cf1.rackcdn.com/PaulWeissReport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a> on the situation in Miami that found Incognito and two other linemen \"engaged in a pattern of harassment\" directed at Martin, another unnamed teammateand an assistant trainer. The report revealed that Martin had \"contemplated suicide\" on two occasions in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
