Yep, he's a jackass.  His anti-Stanford and pro-c.al biases are simply unbridled in his print and radio commentary.  I had stopped listening to KNBR when Ralph Barbieri was on, and on the times when I did listen, I would change the station when Silver was a guest.  He used to write for SI.  He did one remarkable sales job to his editors back in 1997, somehow talking them into printing a curiously long feature article about Pat Barnes, making it sound like he would be a high first round draft pick.  He detailed among other things Barnes' arrest for stealing some candy from the gift shop at the Claremont, as well as the accusation that Gilbertson blew his redshirt very late in his freshman year while allegedly saying, "I'm not saving him for the next guy."  Barnes' result?  He turned out to be a fourth rounder who never threw a single pass in the NFL.

But for all of Silver's  hatred, here's the amusing thing:  He reports to Yahoo.  A company founded by Stanford alums, and whose current CEO is a Stanford alum.  Hey, who's your daddy?
