Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 87 ratings
  • Great chemistry

    Love the chemistry between Copes, Papa and Tim. Im not a 49er or Giants fan (Raiders and A’s) and dont really follow basketball, but I still listen to this show because its just good entertainment. I hadnt listened to KNBR in over a decade, but decided to give this show a shot because Im a fan of Derek and Steven’s Just Your Opinion, Man pod. Hopefully this crew has a long run together.

  • Lazy

    Copeland doesn’t do his research and asks questions to his guests about players that have already been asked and answered

  • Copes the Bully

    Copes was never the brightest bulb in the lamp but now he has a new schtick bullying and snapping at young Papa. Count me out.

  • Going downhill fast

    I listened for a few weeks after they fired Tolbert. It’s now just boring and though I like Copes he can’t carry the young Papa kid who I assume got the job because of his Dad and cheap salary. Seems the owners are now just milking the station for all they can before they switch to constant elevator music like so many others. Sad

  • Dump Speedy as a sponsor please

    Constant same add over and over. There’s got to be another sponsor available. These adds are so incessant that I will never go there. I understand that money runs the world but its torture. I would give this 5 stars otherwise
