Winning the title of first football player to be nabbed in the BALCO scandal, ex-49ers defensive lineman Dana Stubblefield was charged with lying to a federal agent when he denied taking steroids. Oh, Dana. he is expected to plead guilty in a San Francisco federal courtroom later on today. This comes on the heels of former Olympic athlete Marion Jones receiving a six month sentence for her involvement in the BALCO scandal. And now......

N Judah Chronicles' Greg Dewar will not be pleased. And neither will the rest of you. Just weeks after colliding with a 90-year-old woman on the corner of 9th Avenue and Irving Street, an inbound N Judah stuck a man at 31st Avenue, dragging him to 28th, killing him in the process. Overhead news helicopters, a Judah Street closure, and a police investigation followed suit. What's more, according to the Gate: The incident was the......

OMG! It's the Nicole Ritchie of laptops! (Ritchie before she got fat and pregnant, that is.) It seems that the new MacBook Air, just unveiled a few hours ago, features multi-touch ability on its oversized trackpad, similar to that of the iPhone; some sort of crazy wirelessness; recyclable aluminum case; a mercury and lead free display; and you can buy the thing in two weeks, starting at around $1799. Read more about it here.......

Evidence of a wintry day...

Today, duped Vallejo mayoral candidate Gary Cloutier asked a judge "to place on hold the results of the Nov. 7 election, saying vote-counting irregularities cast 'a cloud of suspicion and doubt' over the recount that put his chief opponent Osby Davis on top by two votes." (Under "a cloud of suspicion and doubt," he said? OMG, we also get totally paranoid after a weekend of hard partying. Just pulverize two Ambiens into a 16......

My Morning Jacket's newest live recording entitled The 2006-2007 New Year’s Eve Skit Picture Disc Skit (Could they pick a longer title?) is available now through the band's website. The recording is from their New Year's Eve performance at the Fillmore last year. If you were there, you would know that it was a "Oregon Trail"-themed performance. (OMG, how cool is that!) But we're curious, how do you pull off an "Oregon Trail"-themed party?......

We could also use a Dunkin' Donuts. Failing that, the makers of Raweos could always set up shop next door. Did you see or hear about Gavin Newson's State of the City address? We did. For a few minutes. It seems the Gavin went on for over 100 minutes, as SFist Jim already pointed out. (Pretty people have a habit of droning on. We waste more time feigning interest in what attractive people have to......

It really is all about the other side of Market Street now. Along with neighborhoods that we've heard of before like Pike Place in Seattle; Hillcrest in San Diego; and Park Slope in Brooklyn, N.Y. -- our xenophobia runs deep, folks -- as well as hoods that we've never heard of such as Chatham Village, Pittsburgh; Eastern Market neighborhood of Washington, D.C.; Elmwood Village in Buffalo, N.Y.; and Old West Austin in Austin, our......

Firings! Lies! Non-lies! It's so fucking exciting! A few hours after our post last week about Jeff's cameras in the THC's Seneca Hotel, we caught word of some firings. OMG did we get someone canned? Well, no. As it turns out, two folks were terminated at a different property (here's the job posting for their replacements), but it wasn't related to the cameras. Whatever the real reasons are for the firings, they cannot possibly......

-- Wing: With album titles like Wing Sings Elvis, Wing Sings AC/DC, Dancing Queen by Wing, and Beatles Classics by Wing, it's easy to see why she shot to cult-icon status and became a favorite of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who ended up using her in South Park. See her tonight along with comedian Lisa Geduling at 8:30 p.m. at Cafe Du Nord, Market and Sanchez Streets; $12. -- Urban Capture the Flag:......

From the tallest skyscraper in the City of Brotherly Love to Canadian tourism copywriting brilliance, here's what you should know from our -ist cities: This week, Phillyist took a gleeful listen to the White Stripes' exciting new release, watched in awe as their new tallest skyscraper was finally completed, found a cheaper way to get to Gothamist, invented a tasty new dessert, and brought back their Craigslist Round-Up feature with a bang. Bostonist watches......

We'd like to thank SFist Rita for sharing weekly-reading duties! Last week's winner: the SF Weekly. Spare the glare - oops, the fancy new Federal Building's got some lighting and climate control issues. Cover article: The SF International Film Festival keeps on keeping on and tries to attract young audiences with downloadable movies (what beautiful cinematography, well, it's probably beautiful, from what I can infer from the teensy screen of the video iPod ... even......

Sid Luscious and the Pants play at 11 p.m. at Kimo's on Polk Street, which is dangerously (is it just us?) close to Bob's Donuts, one of SF's best.

OMG! We are SO hitting the big time! We've got two news appearances coming up: tonight at 5pm on KRON-4 and someday at sometime KGO-7. (Update! The KGO story may be delayed, or may not run at all -- their enthusiasm waned when they learned they'd have to share the story with KRON.) Both are in regards to our hard-hitting phonecammery, documenting the EARTH-SHATTERING CATASTROPHES that are Muni's casual standards. We'll be appearing on......

Put the needle on the racket tonight. OMG, Jonathon Keats has done it again! He's an artist known for improving the metric system, selling parts of his brain and even fifth dimension real estate. (Full disclosure: We proudly have a title for a place in North Beach that we bought from the artist for under twelve bucks. He also did a broom art installation at our apartment that so rocks our Casbah.) Tonight, he......

OMG did you hear? Gavin says Muni's totally going to be free from now on! Also, if you ask nicely, the drivers will let you steer for a few blocks; and they're going to remove the floors so that the passengers can run the buses with their feet like the Flintstones! But wait. The Examiner, a local advertising flier, quotes Gavin thusly: "It's so much more complex than that." Oh. And when we spoke......

When compiling my "Year in Review" in my head, I thought, "Hey, I do get out of the house sometimes!" This year was a year of firsts for me. I saw some awe-inspiring bands, took some fun Bay Area trips, and became a regular at some tasty restaurants....

Oh, you know how teenagers love to shop! SFLuxe found this picture of our mayor taking his 19-year-old (or is it 26?) squeeze of the moment, Ms. Brittanie Mountz, to the grand opening of the Westfield mall. "OMG, Gavin, let's stop by Claire's Boutique!" We can't wait to read the transcripts of Gavin's text messages to the city hall high school interns next. "Do I make you horny? Also -- why don't we have solar......

It was just a few months ago that we were celebrating the announcement of the opening of Orpahange Animation Studios, a new SF-based animation house that had roped Genndy Tartakovsky (of Samurai Jack and Clone Wars) into making some features. Since then, OAS has attached Genndy to direct an Astro Boy movie, as well as the OMG-It's-Gonna-Be-Awesome sequel to The Dark Crystal. We can only assume that they've just been SO hard at work......

Get ready to throw a cow-sized steak on the OMG WTF barbecue, because we've got Muni news that'll make your socks go up and down. You know NextBus? That thing that lets you know when the next bus is coming, so you don't have to memorize arrival times and count on Muni drivers adhering to schedule? And you know how NextBus only works right now for a couple of lines, like the 33 and......

So we here at the blog round-up are practically ecstatic over our new cable modem, and we promise it's not just because we're reading former SFist Violet Blue's blog. (Which is definitely NSFW.) So this weekend to celebrate our blazing fast connection speed at home we decided to browse MySpace for blogs. This was a mistake. Maybe it's the heavy influence of text messaging, maybe it's the focus on music or photos, but apparently MySpace......

Folks, you've just gotta learn to let it go: today's fourth-runner-up in the Great SFist Blotter Crime News Gathering (i.e., a frantic search of all the area news sites to find something interesting and not too morbid for your Tuesday or Friday am light reading) was the man found mysteriously dead at home. As it started out, Donald Frailey, a 66-year-old man in Woodside, had called 911 yesterday to report a beating and carjacking. When the cops raced to his house, he was already dead. However, he had no blood or bruising on his body. Weird! We were like, "OMG, this is just like the beginning of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! He was Avada Kedavraed! Lord You-Know-Who walks the earth again!" Then we found the story about the San Mateo woman with Alzheimers and put her in today's blotter instead. So later this morning, the Woodside cops announce that they've figured it out. Turns out Frailey had been involved in a road rage incident earlier that morning. A guy driving behind him (who he knew) was trying to pass him on Skyline Blvd., and Frailey kept speeding up. After the other driver cut in front, he claims Frailey then tailgated him. They pulled over, words were exchanged, and then the other driver grabbed Frailey's keys and threw them in the bushes. The electrician hasn't been charged with any crime (yet). The police think Frailey must have then walked the three miles home, and suffered a heart attack from the stress. Poignantly, the cops found a spare car key underneath the chair on which they found Frailey's body slumped. Well, on the bright side, at least it's not Lord You-Know-Who.

Hey, did you know that the San Francisco County Transportation Authority is thinking about speeding up transit on Van Ness by putting in dedicated bus boulevards? BUT WAIT DON'T CLICK ON THAT LINK IT MIGHT CRASH YOUR BROWSER! The SFCTA, in their wisdom, has placed two JPEGs on their page about the proposed Van Ness corridor; one is a picture of how the dedicated lanes might look (pretty), and the other is a mock-up......

Saturday, there's the Canvas Gallery 5th Anniversary Party. $10 gets you in any time between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. for food and drink specials, live music, and the chance to rub shoulders with real live artists. Sunday: we're going to the David L Pharr Historic Streetcar Facility's fifth annual Open House celebration. This is such a cool event, we can't thank SFist Matt enough for sending it our way: from 11:00am and 4:00pm,......

This is going to be a great day. First Tom DeLay gets indicted, and now this! The Examiner reports that Tom Ammiano and Chris Daly just got interviewed by the Daily Show!!!!! OMG! OMFG!!! OMFG!! You know in those segments how you always wonder, "who the heck would agree to be interviewed by Samantha Bee, anyways?" Well, now you know! Ammiano, a former stand-up comic, gamely answered all their questions about the gay-rights controversy over the USS Iowa and said he tried to be funny but that "they have total control over the camera." Ammiano also told his aides, "I think we're going to get punked." Daly, no doubt hardened by years and years of Matier and Ross mockery (and his own special archives category on SFist.com!), said, "I told them I didn't care if they made fun of me, as long as it's funny." (Oh man, Daly must hate us.) No word on when the segment's going to air -- but it's never too early to prepare! Your official SFist Daily Daly Show drinking game after the jump! (Sorry, Tom, it's Chris only.) ...
