Hey TC. I'll check, but I'm pretty sure you just buy tickets at the event.

Bob Melvin is the best thing to happen to the A's in MANY years! Love him and the team! How…Read More appropriate it is that the team's "Root Beer Float Day" every year benefits the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation! Most important of all: KEEP THE A'S IN OAKLAND!!!

Rick Eymer made a "bush league" grammatical error that should have been caught. See…Read More paragraph 2:
"Since signing a professional contract with the Detroit Tigers in 1981, Melvin HAS RODE a roller coaster of success and failure."
Even a sports reporter should know better than this.....

That's really sad that someone would destroy something like that! Just speechless !!!

I really hope they are able to find some prints or some way to identify the vandals. I think it is…Read More such a shame that equipment used by students who are involved in a sports activity was destroyed -- most likely by other students who are involved in nothing. I hope Patch will let us know if the school is holding a fundraiser for any additional costs (installation, moving from Monte Vista, etc.). Good for Monte Vista on being such good neighbors.

Personally, until both teams can be taught that character counts, I think both teams should be shut…Read More down. A few years ago, some of the Varsity Cheerleaders were caught in illegal activity at Nationals and ruined it for everyone. Thankfully, they were kicked off the team. Just last week I heard a disturbing derogatory comment from an overly involved cheer parent about the "looks" of this year's dance team. Apparently, they aren't pretty enough. And so DebCalHighCheer Supporter, when I hear those classless comments from obviously jealous parents, and witness this behavior, I question where the respect is that you speak of. And yes, it goes both ways. My daughter was on the dance team and the only other time I've ever witnessed such boorish behavior from others was from school bullies...the only difference being that it is repulsively condoned by the adults from both teams.

I wondered how long it was going to take for ticketmaster to figure this one out. Brilliant…Read More marketing ploy - the tickets will be bought up by scalpers and then resold for $40 - $50 a piece. The Raiders will get their sold out stadium and the scalpers become unofficial ticket agents. You don't think this is true? lol...look at what happened to the Warriors 200 section seats behind the baskets at the coliseum.
The employee/team that designed this promotion is surely up for a promotion - well done.

My feeling is that the NFL attracts a booze-filled out of control element that is much less…Read More prevalent at MLB or NBA games. Security is always an issue at events with lots of people, but the NFL seems to have an overdose of this. The Raiders fans have gotten a bad rap for this over the years, but I think that whole thing has spread to all franchises (yes, the Raiders were ahead of their time). No - $25 tickets won't do it for me, but then again, I am a baseball fan.

The game was very entertaining for fans of both teams. That is why you watch. The 49ers played like…Read More a young team. Flashes of brilliance and moments of stupidity. The non-calls by the refs changed the ebb and flow. Their performance was pathetic and that is supposed to be the 'best' ref crew the NFL has to offer. Bad calls and non-calls never even out. I expect to see the game played by the rules.
I am not sure what the ultimate outcome would have been if it was properly officiated but it most definitely would not have been the same game I watched. What a disgraceful display by the NFL on their biggest stage.

Palomar,
Well said comment!
There should have been an early pass-interference call on the 49ers as…Read More well.
If the refs had been making calls in the early game, players would have had to play by the rules throughout. Instead they let there be numerous late whistles and late hits (where one guy had the runner stopped with a tackle and then other guys were allowed to hit him--very physically dangerous and with game-changing possibilities of injuries and fumbles) and also over aggressive shoving/fighting after the point (mostly started by the Ravens).
I thought the officiating was poor and changed the nature of the game.
Wasn't this almost the fewest penalty calls that these teams have EVER had? (I'd like to hear those statistics.) Did these teams change that much from their previous season play that they now weren't doing penalties? I doubt it.

Thanks Kristofer. I have feeling this will be a really good Super Bowl. The key is for the players…Read More of both teams not to get caught up in all the hoopla. A line from one of my favorite country songs "Come From the Heart" sums up what's needed: "You gotta dance like nobody's watching." Even if you there are billions. And I think the 49ers will do that enough to win.

My wish is that some (ok, a lot) of the commercialization be taken out of the superbowl. It can be…Read More sickening. Too many time outs; long ones that can mess up momentum. I am very impressed with Jim Harbaugh's coaching. With the exception of the Seattle game, he was pretty awesome this year.
Leonard Vinci January 22, 2013 at 05:28 pm
It's amazing how many folks know so much about sports and don't have a clue about how our government…Read More in Washington and even here in Danville are messing with our lives. Go 49er's on Super Sunday... Wow...Super Sunday

The 9ers against the Pats....That would be a SUPER BOWL!!!

How come players can take cortizone shots (steroids) for pain but not the cream for pain?
Total…Read More double standard. Baseball needed Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa after the strike. They wanted players hitting bombs. They NEEDED fans in the stands and what better way than to put on a show. Then they try to play the whole "baseball should be clean" card.
It's MLB's own mess that they've created
Punxnotdead January 14, 2013 at 03:28 pm
Nope. Not surprised at all to see him get rejected. If Pete Rose isn't in, then Bonds should not…Read More be in. The only thing worse than a cheater is a cheater who lies about it when confronted. Bonds was routinely booed in every stadium outside of the Bay Area, and for good reason. Giants fans have rose-tinted glasses on when it comes to Barry.

Our son Drew played for DLS for four years, and was on the varsity team that maintained the 151-game…Read More "Streak." At the football awards ceremony his senior year, Coach Ladoceur commented that Drew was "a very good influence on our team." I can think of no higher compliment. I know Bob will continue to teach and coach young men to become upstanding and responsible members of their community.
Wayne Cochrun January 5, 2013 at 03:48 pm
During during Bob's tenure DLS was the best coached football team in America, at any level. The…Read More names of the players changed but the fundamentals and techniques never changed!!! And football IS fundamentals!!!!

I agree with Jack but have a different take. Why in the world is it so important to win HS football…Read More games? I know many current and former DLS kids and they are good kids and most are also good students but I have never understood why ANY sport could be that important.
jim January 8, 2013 at 05:10 am
it feels good to win- much better than losing. It is a reflection of the hard work put in and is…Read More the reward for being good. It is not life or death, but very little really is. My view is, if you are going to do something, then give it your all. If that causes you to win- so be it. If not- then at least you gave it your all. In DLS case, just very impressive that kids can operate at such a high level and play the top talent in the country and compete-- congrats to a great program. If you ever played in a freiendly game of baseball, a pick up basketball game or a Thanksgiving Day football game-- you know why it is important to win-- because you dont want to loose- you dont plan on loosing and you dont practice to loose. That attitude will carryover into the balance of these kids lives and make them more successful at whatever they do in the future...
Bill January 9, 2013 at 03:21 pm
Would like to think committing to win, with integrity, does carryover for more than just DLS…Read More winners. But I doubt it's more important than kids having positive role models in many, if not all aspects of their lives. Sometimes it's a coach, sometimes it's a dance teacher, sometimes it's a parent...or, even better, sometimes all 3.

My passion is valid. Calling a person naive shows your ignorance with your facts on this subject.…Read More I live here and know how it works, but most of all have hands on knowledge. Yep, they don't have to recruit and recruiting from "all over the U.S." as you implied previously is "naive".
