• 'Road Rules'-Like Group of Christian College Students Rolling Through San Francisco

Give some of 'em an ethnic and big-city background, but make sure to get some country mixed in with that rock 'n' roll. Could at least one of them wear a cowboy hat unironically? Thanks. Give 'em a bus, send 'em around the country -- and, hey! How about they're all from a Christian college -- and they go to t

• Jocks Vs. Nerds: Former College QB Sues NCAA, Videogame Company Over Use of Athletes' Names and Likenesses

  Those videogame nerds stole your likeness, Ogre... The plot of many a 3 a.m.-caliber movie has featured the put-upon nerd matriculating to vast wealth in the computer industry -- while the bullying quarterback peaks before age 22. Yet in San Francisco Federal Court you could call it "Revenge of the Jocks." Samuel Keller, a San Ramon High School graduate and former quarterback at Arizona State and Nebraska, on Tuesday filed a class action suit against Bay Area-based videogame company Electronic A

  Yes, that is Michael Crabtree on the cover of NCAA Football​Insiders have whispered to ESPN that holdout wide receiver Michael Crabtree has opted to finally ink a contract with the San Francisco 49ers, curtailing a months-long holdout that extended through training camp and the team's first four games. Financial terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed -- meaning no one is certain if Crabtree's obstinacy worked out in his favor or not, or counterbalanced the damage he's done to his 2009 s
