The song playing over the PA system took several fans and players by surprise after the Oakland A’s won 8-0 on Opening Night at the Coliseum.

5.9K4095.7 The Game replaces “The Towny & Zakariah Show” with A’s baseball
Unless it was an April Fool’s joke that was explained after I got out of the car last night, “The Towny & Zakariah Show” (95.7 The Game’s evening show featuring Chris Townsend and former Lucky Break contestant Zakariah Slenderbrook) will no longer be a regularly scheduled program, starting tonight with the first game of the Bay Bridge […]

6.3K13Examiner hires Jay Mariotti: let the boasting and self-victimization begin!
The San Francisco Examiner has been around for over 150 years. Throughout my childhood it was an afternoon paper that had an odd relationship with the San Francisco Chronicle.

95.7 The Game extends partnership with Oakland A’s through 2018 (plus Feb ratings)
I’m over a week late with the ratings, which upset a lot of you. Some of the nasty emails and tweets I received … do you kiss your mothers with those mouths? My word. Just kidding, no one mentioned it. A few days ago I checked out the website where the ratings numbers are available and noticed […]

6.9K26Draymond Green calls Matt Steinmetz a “clown”
It’s always fun when we get to pull out the popcorn for the purposes of watching athletes and media figures in the Bay Area trading jabs with one another. 95.7 The Game host Matt Steinmetz hopped onto Twitter Sunday morning with a thought on Draymond Green. It appears Green follows Steiny, because he was quick […]

Yesterday over 15,000 folks braved lousy weather and showed up to the Oakland Coliseum complex for A’s FanFest, an event meant to sell tickets and acclimate fans to new players, which is something it seems this team does in great volume every year.

4.4K57Greg Papa: 49ers had “verbal agreement to give it to Adam Gase … Jed backed out.”

The […]

8.7K123Greg Papa on Mike Shanahan: “I don’t want him coaching the Raiders.”
When news broke that the Oakland Raiders interviewed Mike Shanahan, many NFL observers paused and scratched their heads. For Raiders’ announcer Greg Papa, it was more than just confusing … it was flat out wrong. Among all of the rivalries that pervade the NFL, perhaps one of the most notorious and heated was the one between Shanahan […]
