I won’t be the 10,000th person to complain about not being able to watch Monday Night Football because of YouTube TV, but I just ask that we have Jets-Browns be flexed into this slot next week

Mac Jones through 49ers first two drives: 10/10, 98 yards, 2 TD, 147.1 passer rating
@mattmaiocco.bsky.social tells us on KNBR that he expects Mac Jones to start on Sunday, but there's a very good chance that Brock Purdy is active as a the #2 quarterback
"Twitter is not life" -Tony Vitello
Winning the non-Curry minutes (+6 pre garbage time tonight) is a big early achievement for the Warriors’ soon-to-be 4-1 start
Is there such thing as a statement win just two games into an 82-game regular season? In the case of the Warriors last night, I say yes, and here’s why ⬇️

Aaron Gordon burned the Warriors on three pointers last season. They should probably defend him out on the arc again...

Warriors predictions for the season

Record: 48-34
Seed: 6th in West
First round matchup: vs (3) Houston 👀
All-Stars: Curry, Butler
X-factors: Moody and Melton’s shooting
Biggest thriller: Christmas Day vs Dallas
San Diego county also team Jays
I can’t wait to see one of those maps graphics of ‘who everyone’s rooting for in the World Series’ and the southern half of California has a Dodgers logo while the rest of the U.S. AND Canada is all Blue Jays
Tomorrow I'll be with my guy @jdjohndickinson.bsky.social from 10-2 on KNBR and then again after Warriors vs Lakers for the return of "Dubs OT" (sicko season begins)

Drop any questions about the 2025-26 below, and we'll answer them during tomorrow's show.
The losses of Fred Warner and Nick Bosa hurt the 49ers in a major way. Kittle being out for so long hurt in a major way (see run game)

But the most irreplaceable piece on this team is far and away Christian McCaffrey, and it's not close
The marathon starts now. Talk to you 10-2 on KNBR and then out at the plaza with Patrick Laird at 5:30. Go Bears.

Rebuilding teams have to learn how to win. I’m optimistic about the Sharks’ future, but…rebuilding teams have to learn how to win.
I’m fine with the legality of the tush push, but my two main issues are:

1. Player safety (which is not my decision, so if the league allows it they allow it)
2. The play can be legal, but a false start never was
“The more that [Kuminga] shows that he’s as bought in mentally as he is physically, it’s only going to help him get to his pay day sooner rather than later, whether it’s with the Warriors or another team.” @daltonjohnson.bsky.social on KNBR

Some candidates include

Coming to you for the remainder of the Cal Football season LIVE from The Plaza outside Memorial Stadium.

I’ve watched Cal my entire life, and that of course, includes the great career of RB Patrick Laird. It all starts tomorrow at 5:30 before Cal kicks off against Duke.

Go Bears!
No, I didn’t like that at all and wasn’t one bit shocked that the Rams got into FG range. But gutsy doesn’t always = win as shown in OT.
Did you agree with the quarterback sneak and two runs into the line after Collin’s got the fumble? Shanahan was pretty aggressive until that series.
