  • The Best Podcast

    Long time listener, first time reviewer.

    This podcast is my GO TO for 49er news and the standard at which I compare all my sports podcasts too.

    In a world of hot takes and bro sports journalism, it’s so great to hear two expert reporters giving us the 49er news with their expertise and without all the silly hot takes.

    Jennifer Lee Chan is such a refreshing voice in sports media. Fantastic reporter and speaker. Plus, as an Asian American it is wonderful to hear a woman Asian voice in sports... more

    The more I hear from this buffoon, the more I roll my eyes. Matt M. needs to quit; I have no idea how Jennifer can stand him. She’s the only one saving the podcast with her genuine charisma and knowledgeable commentary.

    Update: Matt is still a clown…. Jennifer still gives him the benefit of the doubt but she needs to move on to better things or get rid of Matt. Matt still spinning narratives with zero football IQ. Hope 2026 gives Matty boy some intelligence and patience to think before you sp... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

49ers bring back DeForest Buckner in trade, continuing reunion theme
Q: What does Joe Nedney see in Eddy Piñeiro's kicking mechanics, and what should he work on?
Nedney sees a swing path that cuts across the ball, which can cost distance and lead to pulled kicks. He suggests refining the swing and experimenting with the holder's ball position and stance.
49ers bring back DeForest Buckner in trade, continuing reunion theme
Q: What is the most important aspect of the general manager-coach relationship?
Lynch says mutual respect, alignment, and having each other's backs are central to a productive partnership.
Kyle Shanahan previews 49ers' Week 4 matchup vs. Broncos, plus Colton McKivitz exclusive
Q: How would you break it down as far as what makes an offensive lineman? How much of that is physical? How much of it is mental?
McKivitz said the position requires strength, physicality, and quick feet, but that the mental game separates great players. Linemen need to stay consistent, process changing defensive looks quickly, and trust their preparation and ability.
Kyle Shanahan previews 49ers' Week 4 matchup vs. Broncos, plus Colton McKivitz exclusive
Q: What was the why behind the hook and lateral that made that successful?
Shanahan said he called it on third-and-13 after a frustrating start and wanted to avoid going three-and-out. He described the play as a chance to gain a big chunk, rather than a call based on a specific defensive tendency.

Q: If you were team management, how would you approach Nick Bosa's large salary and cap figure for 2027?
Andrew Brandt says the 49ers could restructure salary into a signing bonus to lower the immediate cap hit, but extending the cap costs further may not be prudent. The team could also discuss tying some compensation to playing time or performance, though that would require negotiation with the player's agent.
