On the Cal Bears Podcast with Morris:

BERKELEY–It’s very unlikely that the Cal Bears will avoid 12th place this season they have not finished last in the Pac 12, Pac 10, Pac 8 since 1980. They’re not going to avoid those couple of loses at home this week where they dropped games to Washington and Washington State. They head to Arizona State on Thursday and Arizona on Saturday. Wazoo has a one game lead over Cal for 12th place and they would have to lose twice to back into last if there’s a tie Cal would be saddled with that 12th seed in the conference tournaments.

These are very unusual times for Cal the next loss is the 22nd loss they’ve never lost 22 ball games in a season in 111 years in Berkeley of playing basketball but that looks absolutely assured this year unless they become hot and win out the national championship which would be quite a story within itself but very unlikely. Things are in flux in the Pac 12 Arizona, Utah, and USC are all caught up in this FBI college basketball scandal to varying degrees and obviously we’ve heard a lot about Arizona and head coach Sean Miller who offered freshman Deandre Ayton $100,000 to sign on with AZ. Miller in a FBI wiretap was reportedly recorded offering Ayton the money it will be interesting to see how much longer Miller will remain at Arizona who Cal plays this Saturday at the McHale Center.

San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor: Either way, Foster could be gone or suspended for six games

Photo credit: @112BREAKING

On the San Francisco 49ers Podcast with David Zizmor:

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ruben Foster is either looking at a six-game suspension or getting released by the 49ers for his alleged domestic violence charge. The 49ers are waiting for to hear back from Los Gatos Police. Foster is charged with domestic violence, criminal threats, possession with a assault weapon. Foster is accused of dragging his girlfriend to the doorway of his Los Gatos home and throwing her belongings out the balcony and front doorway of the home.

Dave takes a look how this most recent charge impacts the team after they had a cavalcade of players who previously were arrested or had issues with law enforcement over domestic violence issues or DUIs. If the police do not charge Foster, the NFL can turn around and charge Foster for domestic abuse violating his contract and suspend him six games.
