"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

I think everybody knew we were going to get a break, we were going to get a chance to win this game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another tight contest in this decades-old postseason rivalry, both defenses made key stops before New York capitalized on a rare mistake in San Francisco's resurgent season. Williams' blunder put the Giants in perfect position for another sensational finish in a season full of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first three possessions in overtime ended in punts before Williams fumbled. The Giants won it moments later and silenced — for good this time — the towel-waving, poncho-wearing sellout crowd at cold, rainy Candlestick Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was one of those situations where I tried to turn it upfield and it just didn't work out,\" Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manning and the Giants (12-7) will face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis as 3½-point underdogs. The last time the teams met for the NFL title, 2008, the Giants ended the Patriots' bid for a perfect season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tynes had a hand, er, foot in getting the Giants to that one, too, kicking a field goal in overtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Devin Thomas put the Giants in position this time by recovering his second fumble of the game after Jacquian Williams stripped the ball from fill-in return man Kyle Williams, who also fumbled earlier to set up a New York touchdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's my second NFC championship game, my second game-winner,\" Tynes said of his kick 7:54 into overtime. \"It's amazing. I had dreams about this last night. It was from 42, not 31, but I was so nervous today before the game just anticipating this kind of game. I'm usually pretty cool, but there was something about tonight where I knew I was going to have to make a kick. Hats off to Eli, offense, defense. Great win.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holder Steve Weatherford celebrated with a slip-and-slide on his back down the soggy field. Victor Cruz fell to his knees. Tynes quickly found his crying wife for a warm hug. Manning tossed his gloves into the temporary seats with a big smile, then received a surprise visit from big brother, Peyton, in the locker room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manning went 32 of 58 for 316 yards and two touchdowns and overcame six sacks in his record fifth road playoff win, New York's fifth in a row overall. Manning orchestrated five fourth-quarter wins during the regular season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He threw a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 8:34 remaining after Kyle Williams fumbled for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants challenged that the ball touched Williams' right knee and Thomas recovered with 11:06 left and coach Tom Coughlin won, giving the Giants the ball back at the 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a tremendous football game for those that really enjoy football at it's very basic element,\" said Coughlin, who matched former Cowboys coach Tom Landry for most road playoff wins with seven. \"Just a classic football game that just seemed like no one was going to put themselves into position to win it. Fortunately, we were able to do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 12-point underdog in the 2008 title game, the Giants battered Brady and got a last-minute TD pass from Manning to Plaxico Burress to win their third Super Bowl. Five months ago, Manning declared he was in the same class as Tom Brady. Now, he'll get another chance to outdo him on the NFL's biggest stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During this playoff run, he's already outplayed Aaron Rodgers and the defending champion Packers, and fellow former No. 1 pick Alex Smith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cruz set the tone Sunday with eight of his 10 receptions in the first half and finished with 142 yards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just been a tremendous effort by all of us, man,\" Cruz said. \"We understand that any one of us can get hot at any moment. As long as we're all on the same page and just playing together, man, we've got a great group of guys.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants appeared on the verge of collapsing and Coughlin's job status in jeopardy just a month ago, when they fell to 7-7 with an embarrassing loss to the Washington Redskins on Dec. 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were facing elimination the following week against the Jets and Rex Ryan, but the Giants won 29-14. They followed with a 31-14 win over Dallas in the regular-season finale to win the NFC East and get to the playoffs for the first time since 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York dominated Atlanta at home in the opening round, and then came another stunner: a 37-20 victory at Green Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 73 and 28 yards for the NFC West champions (14-4), who went from 6-10 a year ago to a contender and ended an eight-year playoff drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be a tough one. It will take a while to get over,\" coach Jim Harbaugh said. \"There were a lot of ways in which we played well enough to win. We just didn't come away with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith completed just 12 of 26 passes for 196 yards, connecting on only one short throw to a wide receiver. With no threats on the outside, San Francisco managed one third-down conversion, coming on the final play of regulation. The offense was unable to overcome Williams' blunders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You hate to be the last guy that had the ball, to give it away in that fashion and to lose a game of this magnitude,\" Williams said. \"It is what it is.

The last time the teams met for the NFL title, 2008, the Giants ended the Patriots' bid for a perfect season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tynes had a hand, er, foot in getting the Giants to that one, too, kicking a field goal in overtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Devin Thomas put the Giants in position this time by recovering his second fumble of the game after Jacquian Williams stripped the ball from fill-in return man Kyle Williams, who also fumbled earlier to set up a New York touchdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's my second NFC championship game, my second game-winner,\" Tynes said of his kick 7:54 into overtime. \"It's amazing. I had dreams about this last night. It was from 42, not 31, but I was so nervous today before the game just anticipating this kind of game. I'm usually pretty cool, but there was something about tonight where I knew I was going to have to make a kick. Hats off to Eli, offense, defense. Great win.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holder Steve Weatherford celebrated with a slip-and-slide on his back down the soggy field. Victor Cruz fell to his knees. Tynes quickly found his crying wife for a warm hug. Manning tossed his gloves into the temporary seats with a big smile, then received a surprise visit from big brother, Peyton, in the locker room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manning went 32 of 58 for 316 yards and two touchdowns and overcame six sacks in his record fifth road playoff win, New York's fifth in a row overall. Manning orchestrated five fourth-quarter wins during the regular season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He threw a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 8:34 remaining after Kyle Williams fumbled for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants challenged that the ball touched Williams' right knee and Thomas recovered with 11:06 left and coach Tom Coughlin won, giving the Giants the ball back at the 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a tremendous football game for those that really enjoy football at it's very basic element,\" said Coughlin, who matched former Cowboys coach Tom Landry for most road playoff wins with seven. \"Just a classic football game that just seemed like no one was going to put themselves into position to win it. Fortunately, we were able to do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 12-point underdog in the 2008 title game, the Giants battered Brady and got a last-minute TD pass from Manning to Plaxico Burress to win their third Super Bowl. Five months ago, Manning declared he was in the same class as Tom Brady. Now, he'll get another chance to outdo him on the NFL's biggest stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During this playoff run, he's already outplayed Aaron Rodgers and the defending champion Packers, and fellow former No. 1 pick Alex Smith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cruz set the tone Sunday with eight of his 10 receptions in the first half and finished with 142 yards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just been a tremendous effort by all of us, man,\" Cruz said. \"We understand that any one of us can get hot at any moment. As long as we're all on the same page and just playing together, man, we've got a great group of guys.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants appeared on the verge of collapsing and Coughlin's job status in jeopardy just a month ago, when they fell to 7-7 with an embarrassing loss to the Washington Redskins on Dec. 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were facing elimination the following week against the Jets and Rex Ryan, but the Giants won 29-14. They followed with a 31-14 win over Dallas in the regular-season finale to win the NFC East and get to the playoffs for the first time since 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York dominated Atlanta at home in the opening round, and then came another stunner: a 37-20 victory at Green Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 73 and 28 yards for the NFC West champions (14-4), who went from 6-10 a year ago to a contender and ended an eight-year playoff drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be a tough one. It will take a while to get over,\" coach Jim Harbaugh said. \"There were a lot of ways in which we played well enough to win. We just didn't come away with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith completed just 12 of 26 passes for 196 yards, connecting on only one short throw to a wide receiver. With no threats on the outside, San Francisco managed one third-down conversion, coming on the final play of regulation. The offense was unable to overcome Williams' blunders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>By a simple twist of fate and lack of major career options I happened to be driving a cab in Oakland in the fall of 1981, when the San Francisco 49ers put together their first Super Bowl season. I worked Sunday afternoons, so I listened to most of the games on the radio in my taxi, a black-and-white Ford Granada in which I picked up fares from the bars, the grocery stores, and occasionally the street corners of the Fruitvale district. The season was captivating and of course ended with a series of huge wins highlighted by the Niners-Dallas Cowboys NFC Championship remembered for \"\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/tunyz0WWLSI\" target=\"_blank\">The Catch\u003c/a>\" (Joe Montana to Dwight Clark with time running out) and the Niners methodical (as I remember it) \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XVI\" target=\"_blank\">victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 49ers had another playoff win on their way to the championship, beating the wild-card New York Giants at Candlestick Park, 38-24, the week before the historic and much remembered \"The Catch\" game. I don't remember a thing about that game, but I only say that by way of remarking on a couple of plays in later Giants-49ers playoff contests that I've never been able to get out of my memory. Both involve very bad moments for 49ers' quarterback Joe Montana. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bad Moment No. 1\u003c/strong> came January 4, 1987, when the teams met on the Giants' home field in the swamps of New Jersey. The first half featured one of the weirdest plays in the storied career of 49er wide receiver Jerry Rice—on his way toward the end zone with a Joe Montana pass, he fumbled the ball without being touched. The Giants recovered, then marched for a touchdown of their own—an effective 14-point turnaround. But worse was to come. Near the end of the half, Giants' nose tackle Jim Burt smashed Montana as he was releasing the ball. The blow KO'd Montana and led to an interception by linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who ran the ball in for a touchdown. Final score: 49-3. Here's the scene:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/OAY_fUOF2HA\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"274\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bad Moment No. 2\u003c/strong> also stars Montana in the role of Giants' road kill. On January 20, 1991, the Niners met the New Yorkers on the Bay's boggy shore. With 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter and the 49ers nursing a 13-9 lead, Montana brought the team to the line on third and long. He went back to pass. He looked and looked for a receiver, dodged a tackler, then began rolling to his right. Giants' defensive end Leonard Marshall, who had already been knocked down on the play, was in pursuit. He caught up with Montana just as the quarterback set and began to throw. Montana suffered a broken hand, a bruised sternum, and broken ribs, and later said it was so hard to take a breath after the hit that he thought he would die. The Giants went on to win that game, too, 15-13. Here's the play: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/FAABWqhNvtg\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today marks the eighth time the teams have met in the playoffs.

The blow KO'd Montana and led to an interception by linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who ran the ball in for a touchdown. Final score: 49-3. Here's the scene:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/OAY_fUOF2HA\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"274\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bad Moment No. 2\u003c/strong> also stars Montana in the role of Giants' road kill. On January 20, 1991, the Niners met the New Yorkers on the Bay's boggy shore. With 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter and the 49ers nursing a 13-9 lead, Montana brought the team to the line on third and long. He went back to pass. He looked and looked for a receiver, dodged a tackler, then began rolling to his right. Giants' defensive end Leonard Marshall, who had already been knocked down on the play, was in pursuit. He caught up with Montana just as the quarterback set and began to throw. Montana suffered a broken hand, a bruised sternum, and broken ribs, and later said it was so hard to take a breath after the hit that he thought he would die. The Giants went on to win that game, too, 15-13. Here's the play: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/FAABWqhNvtg\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
