Get your pitchforks and torches ready. There's a rumor -- totally unconfirmed and just a light in Larry Ellison's beady eye at this point -- but Curbed has word, via a sports writer at Yahoo, that the Golden State Warriors, who we can only assume is some sort of basketball team of note, might move their stadium to San Francisco. Downtown San Francisco, that is. Because, really, you can never have too many drunk sports fans peeing in front of your apartment. Curbed commenters are nutting over it if you want to check it out the scene.

Sometimes we forget the Academy of Art is here to produce top-notch graphic designers and film artists, not just litter the streets of SF with new takes on fashion. In fact, the school even has an athletics department. Did you know this? We did not. And it seems USF smeared the Academy of Art basketball team, the Urban Knights, the other day. But as Rick Chandler at Deadspin notes, even though "it's the largest private art school in the nation, ... its men's basketball team isn't that terrible." In between fashion design midterms and broadcast journalism classes with the governor from Silence of the Lambs, they've managed to win three games so far this season. The basketball team "was started from scratch this season so that the school could compete in NCAA Div. I." In addition to shooting hoops, AAU also offers competitive opportunities in tennis, baseball, lacrosse, golf, cross country, volleyball, and more. But, thankfully, they have no football team. (Good thinking on nixing the footballers, Elisa. Gotta get that date-rape stat down low.) Update: This sporting match game was played in November of '08. Oops.

Brrr, it's cold in here. There must be some Warriors in the atmosphere.

We just found out the answer to the question of whether the A's were going to go for it and make a run at the playoffs or fold their tents for awhile-- they're folding. Just this afternoon it was announced that the A's traded Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin to the Cubbies for right-handed pitcher Sean Gallagher, catcher Josh Donaldson, infielder Eric Patterson, outfielder Matt Murton, and a bag of beans. Citing injuries, Beane said it was a move he had to do-- the recent eight game losing streak probably forced his hand.

It is our sad duty to inform you that Baron Davis has opted out of his contract and is probably finished as a Golden State Warrior.

Degrassi: The Next Generation is known for it accurate, yet sometimes vanilla portrayal of North American teenage life. Topics such as date rape, teen pregnancy, school violence, and inevitable cocaine abuse by wayward rockers are all fair game on this Canadian after-school-special-like teenage sitcom.

Londonist got the big scoop of the week with what may be the first images of notorious street artist Banksy in action. They also got on a runaway train without an operator provoking a response from the transport authorities. Elsewhere, London's answer to Central Station is about to open for business, and Londonist got a sneak preview. Meanwhile, spooky goings-on beneath London Bridge, where a cache of skeletons provided an apt story for Hallowe'en.

Attrition has been one of the Warriors' best pickups this offeseason. While the Warriors have taken some baby steps forward, many of the Western Conference rivals have been moving in the opposite direction.

When looking at the Warriors chances to make the playoffs this year, it runs from the bottom up.

There is no doubt that coach Don Nelson and his sidekick Chris Mullen have reshaped the Warriors, and the team now has a pretty strong pool of players from which Nellie can choose to implement his failed system of up-tempo small-ball.

The Warriors season starts up tonight and in honor of the return of basketball, SFist Chris takes a look at the Warriors.

Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers (a band with a breakfast cereal/basketball name - catchy, right?) have started their Dirty Ol' Fall Tour on the West Coast, starting in Long Beach, then L.A. and tonight in San Francisco at Cafe du Nord. At the beginning of December, they will end up in their hometown of Northampton, Massachusetts playing two final shows at Iron Hall Music Hall. Playing over 300 shows in the last two years Stephen...

A reader asked: "Hey guys I was wondering what is the best gym to go workout at in San Francisco? Which offers the best amenities and a friendly staff? What gym should I avoid at all cost?" We think he may have left off a word, but that's okay, we get the idea. Much as with our search for a good Italian joint for a reader the other day, we'll offer one quick opinion then open it up to the brain trust of our readership, who probably a hell of a lot more about this than we do.

We at the Gothamist network would like to express our heartfelt wishes to the people of Minnesota in the days after their tragic bridge collapse. We're not trying to discount the severity of the accident by making note of it in opposition to our usual -Ist lightheartedness - we just wanted to take a moment and recognize those affected last week.

The increasingly nasty little rivalry brewing between the Mavs & Dubs took on a whole new dimension as Mark Cuban sued Don Nelson for using some sort of super-double secret confidential information against the Mavs in this year's playoffs. As the old adage says, if you can't beat 'em, sue 'em.
