When the Valkyries played their first WNBA game in May 2025, they looked like any other expansion franchise. In an 84-67 loss that day to the Los Angeles Sparks, they were undersized, overmatched, and disconnected. A year and a half later, the Valkyr... more

Stephen Curry went 8 for 8 from the field and 5 for 5 from the free-throw line, scoring 24 points in the Golden State Warriors’ first win of the season. But Curry wasn’t the driving force. That was rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, who, just four games into hi... more

Golden State Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase doesn’t care how other WNBA teams are built.

When Nakase was hired in October 2024, she said she wanted her team to be known for defense and selflessness. Two years later, those qualities have the Valkyries... more

The 49ers are 6-0, quarterback Brock Purdy is playing some of the best football of his career, and a new-look defense is thriving under coordinator Raheem Morris. Despite the impressive start, injuries have wiped out depth at key positions and GM Joh... more

Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 59 ratings
  • Kalshi

    So way to go on only presenting Kelshi’s white washing of what they do, and presenting that to the fans? Did anyone do any research on how they charge, how much people are losing? How about giving both sides, instead of what I just heard.

    Glad you got your own show Kerry! You are awesome. Love John Shea's writing, but he's not good radio. Just says what happened in the game with literally no analysis. Sorry John!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will the 49ers make a trade deadline splash?
Q: Is DeForest Buckner a scheme fit for the 49ers at the moment, or has their scheme changed enough that maybe bringing someone like him in isn't as big of a priority?
Lombardi says Buckner would fit the 49ers' hybrid fronts because he combines length, athleticism, and the strength and skill to play inside. Whether a trade makes sense depends on cost and value.
Will the 49ers make a trade deadline splash?
Q: How aggressive do you anticipate John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan to be here over the next couple of weeks?
Lombardi says the 49ers have made a move in nearly every season they have been contenders, but will prioritize value and remain flexible about position and price.
Yaxel Lendeborg is the star the Warriors can build around
Q: What's your near term outlook for Golden State? Can they get this thing over 500, and what signs of progress will you be monitoring over the next few weeks?
Emerman says the Warriors' defense and ability to handle short-handed games will be important indicators. He thinks they could hover around .500 if they improve and stay competitive through November and December.
Yaxel Lendeborg is the star the Warriors can build around
Q: What do you make of Draymond kind of being a mentor for Yaxel? Is this a really good fit coming into the NBA?
Emerman says the two have a strong relationship and share competitiveness, and that Lendeborg respects Green, who takes his responsibility as a veteran seriously.
Bold predictions for the Warriors' 2026-2027 season
Q: Give me a bold Yaxel Lendeborg prediction. Like, what do you envision for his rookie season with Golden State?
Emerman expects Lendeborg to lead the Warriors in rebounding and finish in the top three for Rookie of the Year, based on his role, athleticism, and expected opportunities.
