ESPN is projecting another bleak year in Bear Territory... Three CGB posts in three days? Is CGB back??
No. Just the perfect storm of news, the piqued interest of a homeless writer, and a site that hasn’t otherwise been touched in nearly two years.
Speaking of homeless writers and things that haven’t been touched in two years, it’s me—your writer. Thanks to the dozens of bots and readers who are still clicking on dead sites following suggestions by our fri...

For the Orlando Magic, Valentine’s Day has had its quirks over the years. In 1990, Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan was infamously forced to wear a nameless No. 12 jersey after his came up missing at Orlando Arena.
On this day 30 years ago, the Magic played their first triple-overtime game. Shaquille O’Neal bounced back from a poor offensive start with several key defensive plays down the stretch as the Magic topped the New York...

Will we ever see Ron Gould return home? Better (one week) late than never, right?
When the unthinkable happened—and the despicable Stanfurd Cardinal sentenced once–proud Golden Bear Troy Taylor to its role as Alistair H. Smarmsnobbery Director of Football-Related Operations and Activities—I immediately feared the prospect of a union between Taylor and then–running backs coach Ron Gould. Gould is one of the greats in the history of California Golden Bears Foo...

Joe Kapp was among three Bears to first represent California in the Super Bowl | Tony Tomsic-USA TODAY Sports
A less-than-ideal accomplishment for the Bears in the Pros coincides with our struggles at Memorial Stadium. Despite the struggles of the California Golden Bears to be ranked or relevant in college football, we’ve had a puzzlingly rich history of success in the NFL. For instance, for the 21 NFL seasons from 1999–2019, 14 of those Super Bowl s featured a Golden Bear on the winning ...

With the trade of Adam Lundkvist, the Dynamo have no healthy left backs on the roster. So who might they bring in? When Adam Lundkvist asked to be traded and was sent down I-35 to Austin FC, the Houston Dynamo were left with a big hole at left back. Brad Smith was signed as a free agent recently but the Australian is still recovering from an ACL injury and won’t be ready for the early part of the MLS season. So, the big question on peoples’s minds is, who star...

The Chicago Fire’s Colombian wonderkid joins the English giants for a club-record fee. For the second time in just a few months, the Chicago Fire have sold a teenage wonderkid to the Premier League for an eight-figure sum.
Not too long ago, that statement would have seemed like a very optimistic prediction, but with the official confirmation of Colombian forward Jhon Durán’s sale to Aston Villa for close to 20 million dollars, it is now a reality. Durán’s s...
