How this blog works

Bay Area Sports Blog publishes game coverage, columns and flashbacks across the 49ers, Giants, Athletics, Warriors, Sharks, Stanford and Cal, plus a betting section and a history section for the stuff worth remembering. Stories are written for this site, not aggregated from a wire.

Three pages explain the rest: the editorial standards say what is opinion and where the facts come from, the corrections policy says what happens when something is wrong, and the privacy and ownership page says who runs the site, how it is funded and what it does with your data. The short answer to that last one is nothing.
