Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 46 ratings
  • Willard is great

    I think whiteys analysis is really good and not cliche, he supports his reasoning well. Dibs is cool but he interrupts a lot and prevents people at times from getting to interesting points

  • I'm out on 95.7 the shame

    Ray Ratto and Damon Bruce were by far my favorite radio personalities. I can't believe the station let them go, and kept the unlistenable Steiny and Guru. I'm deprogramming the station, i used to love listening, with Joe Lo & Dibs and Damon & Ratto. Now you're dead to me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HOUR 3 - Joe Lacob feels good about the Warriors!
Q: Were you guys in on Jalen Brown?
The hosts recount that Lacob and his team did explore many options and canvassed the league, but ultimately pursued a different path, suggesting better offers may have existed that were not accepted by the Celtics.
Hour 4: Standouts From The 49ers Preseason Game + David Lombardi Joins The Show
Q: David, I think there are certain Niner fans who might be scratching their head about this concept a little bit. Could you speak to why you think the defense could be better this year under Raheem Morris?
David Lombardi explains that before Nick Bosa or Fred Warner went out last year, the 49ers' defense was among the top in the league, and with the defense being allowed to evolve and with Morris' multi‑defense background, there's potential for a more amorphous and adaptable unit that capitalizes on health and the revamped linebacker room.
Guy Haberman - Stribling Shines, 49ers' NFC Outlook & QB3 Battle
Q: what did you think of the two quarterbacks last night in the race for QB3?
Curtis Rourke emerged as the frontrunner, showing more mobility and poise than expected, making a strong case to be QB3.
Hour 3: Mike Dunleavy's Latest Comments Signal Talent Over Availability
Q: What is the outlook on Steph Curry's extension and its impact on the roster?
The panel expects Curry to finish his career with the Warriors, with extensions possibly delaying other moves but keeping core together while planning for future flexibility.
Hour 3: Mike Dunleavy's Latest Comments Signal Talent Over Availability
Q: How might ongoing injury history affect decisions about roster construction?
Teams may lean toward players who can reliably participate in back-to-back games and travel-heavy schedules, potentially sacrificing some talent for greater availability.
