4.7K23680 or 1050: Lengthy Warriors playoff run could put KNBR in tough spot
KNBR 680’s teams make a hell of a trio. As the flagship station of the San Francisco Giants, “The Sports Leader” has aired three World Series-clinching games in the last five years. The San Francisco 49ers went to three consecutive NFC Championship Games, and even in their current state of disarray they’re discussed on every show more than any […]

6.0K13Examiner 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. I assumed the two newspapers were fierce competitors, which wasn’t necessarily the case, probably because my father could never stick with one newspaper subscription for very long. For […]

3.3K2349ers radio analyst Tim Ryan: “Patrick Willis retired. Chris Borland quit.”
It was inevitable after San Francisco 49ers inside linebacker Chris Borland announced his retirement late yesterday that not everyone would be on the same page. The NFL is a multi-billion dollar business, and those whose income depends on the league’s continued success are not going to back down and let their sport go the way of […]

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 […]

5.2K50Regular KNBR guest Adam Meyer indicted for fraud, extortion
The odds aren’t good that Adam Meyer, the betting tout who’s appeared on KNBR (as well as several other radio shows across the country) several times over the years, will be able to talk his way out of this one. Meyer was arrested Tuesday on charges that he defrauded and threatened a Wisconsin man out of […]
