  • Mostly good, but why a North / South show?

    TK has been a mainstay in Bay Area sports coverage and gets some top guests for his show - owners, managers, coaches, broadcasters. No players though, which is interesting.

    Anyway, love all the shows except for the North / South one. I really wonder about the numbers on that one. How many people who are Bay Area sports fans actually want to hear a podcast about the LA teams? Which LA fans actually care about the Bay Area teams? I would think little to none in both cases… I and all my fri... more

  • Tk show

    It's a good show. Tk might not be for everyone, but he get's good people on the show.

    One thing. TK - can you please give it a rest with the turf stuff? We get it, it's bad. But the 100th time you mention it, it's just bad radio. Thanks for your consideration.

  • Best Bay Area coverage / Must Listen

    TK and Barrows are fantastic. Not a baseball fan but still find good chunks of North/South interesting. Dylan brings a great lens.

    TK is a mainstay and a thoughtful narrator to Bay Area Sports. It’s no coincidence that he’s the local journalist that gets Kerr, Dunleavy, Shanahan, Lynch and Lacob to join and do solo pods. He has the respect of the folks that are leading and the bay’s sports scene.

    Barrows has been one of the best beat writers in the business for a long time. How many best ... more

  • TK is a blowhard.

    TK is a blowhard. Stop it. Never says anything definitive. His writing has been the same way for 15+ years. Merc got rid of him and people hate when he calls into 95.7. Not even worth the troll.

[49ers +/-] Brock Purdy Is Back
