San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor:
#1 With Christian McCaffrey still being one of the most versatile offensive weapons in the league, how will the 49ers deploy him against Arizona’s front-seven—and can he exploit any running-lane weaknesses in the Cardinals’ defense?
#2 Given that Mac Jones has been the primary quarterback this season (while Brock Purdy remains uncertain/injured) for San Francisco with 2,151 passing yards so far this year, how might the change in signal-caller impact the 49ers’ offensive rhythm and decision-making?
#3 On the defensive side, how well can the 49ers limit the Cardinals’ offense—especially in the passing game, given Arizona is allowing about 223.7 yards per game through the air so far?

Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said the firing of Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown was shocking and that Brown is one of the standard bearers of coaches in the NBA (AP News photo)
On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:
#1 The Sacramento Kings who fired head coach Mike Brown on Friday certainly fired up a number of NBA head coaches. Knowing Brown’s reputation They felt this firing was not his fault, that the organization didn’t get him the pieces to win, he was the wrong guy to take the blame for the Kings five game losing streak and a foul call that ended up giving the Detroit Pistons a four score for shot for the one point win on Thursday night.
#2 Former A’s team president David Kaval who resigned on Friday was well talked about amongst the media and was remembered for saying once upon a time that the A’s were rooted in Oakland but that quickly changed in June 2023 when Kaval announced that they were headed to Las Vegas and were not reupping at the Oakland Coliseum and playing their interim years in Sacramento. Needless to say Kaval was very unpopular. Do you think public pressure and the huge criticism that he received eventually forced Kaval to resign?
#3. The Las Vegas Raiders who snapped their ten game losing streak against the Jacksonville Jaguars in their last game Sunday 19-14 at Allegiant Stadium. According to at NFL Rumors the Raiders plan to part ways with head coach Antonio Pierce after the last game of the season on Sun Jan 5th when the Raiders conclude their season with the Los Angeles Chargers.
#4 The Golden State Warriors loses continue to pile up as they have lost five of their last seven games and it had head coach Steve Kerr saying regarding his line ups, “I would love to get to a set starting line up. said Kerr. “I’m confident we’ll get there.” No one talks about it but with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green both struggling on offense and defense some are questioning if their getting to the point that their time has come to an end in the NBA?
#5 The San Francisco 49ers have lost five of their last six games losing their most recently to the Miami Dolphins 29-17 at Miami Gardens last Sunday. They lost left tackle Trent Williams for the rest of the season due to a ankle injury, line backer Dre Greenlaw (calf), guard Jaylon Moore (quadriceps), guard Aaron Banks (knee), running back Christian McCaffrey (knee), and Brandon Aiyuk (ACL). With these injuries and one of the toughest teams in the NFL the Detroit Lions (13-2) coming to Levi Stadium for Monday Night Football it could be a long evening for San Francisco?

How do you see it?
