On the 49ers podcast with Joe:

#1 The Arizona Cardinals have had problems all season, including taking a 0-4 record into Levis Stadium this Sunday against the 49ers. Can the 49ers get win number two against a wounded Cardinal team?

#2 Speaking of wounded, 49er quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had surgery on Wednesday morning for the torn ACL left knee. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said it was too early to predict when Garoppolo would be back.

#3 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon, who had his ACL torn on September 1st, was on crutches with a brace for his right knee related to Garoppolo’s injury, saying the only thing they could do is push each other during the next nine months to recover.

#4 C.J. Beathard had a good outing against the LA Chargers at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. It may only be one game, but could that be an indication that Beathard will have the ability to make some plays this Sunday against the Cardinals?

#5 Left tackle Joe Staley, center Weston Richburg and right tackle Mike McGlinchey didn’t practice. All three suffered knee injuries during Sunday’s against the Chargers.

Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Raiders say they will leave Oakland after this season if city continues its lawsuit

On the Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony:

The Oakland Raiders have made it clear that they will leave the Oakland Coliseum for other digs. The city is near filing a anti trust suit against the Raiders for leaving for Las Vegas after the 2019 season or 2020 season at the latest. The Cal Bears Memorial Stadium was thought to be a place where the Raiders could play in if they bolted the Coliseum after this season, but the Bears have said that they have limited parking and for an NFL game it wouldn’t be a suitable site to accommodate that many autos.

Any thoughts of the Raiders playing in the South Bay at either Levis Stadium in Santa Clara or at Spartan Stadium in San Jose were also out of the questions. The Raiders and 49ers front offices are noted for not getting along, Levi’s Stadium is out, and Spartan Stadium is too small to suit an NFL team as the Spartans’ capacity is 30,456. The Raiders’ only other option might be at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV) if all else fails.

The Raiders’ narrow win to the Cleveland Browns 45-42–would that game be considered an improvement or they still have a long way to go? The Raiders play in Carson this weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5. For Week 6, they fly to London for a match with the Seattle Seahawks.

San Jose Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa Walsh: Erik Karlsson expected to be the team’s linchpin they need opening the season

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

sfgate.com: The San Jose Sharks Erik Karlssson takes a shot on goal, Karlsson made his first regular season appearance on Wednesday night at SAP Center in San Jose against the Anaheim Ducks in the season’s opener

On the Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa:

The San Jose Sharks’ addition of Erik Karlsson gives the offense depth, which is not bad for a defenseman. Karlsson has scored the most points than any other in the NHL with 518. How much are the Sharks depending on Antti Suomela, whose on the third line? Evander Kane had 14 points in 17 games since coming to San Jose from Buffalo. Kane signed a seven-year extension with San Jose.

Mary Lisa also takes a look at Marcus Sorensen, Barclay Goodrow, and Melker Karlsson. Will they be the bottom six forwards?

On the San Jose sports podcast with Ana:

1. San Jose Earthquakes interim head coach Steve Ralston is 0-3 in his position so far. What can you say about his work ethic late in the 2017-18 MLS season?

2. What are your three takeaways from the Quakes’ disappointing road loss 3-2 to the Houston Dynamo?

3. The San Jose State Spartans lost a heartbreaker 44-41 to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors on homecoming. Was there anything you’d like to talk about that you didn’t mention in your three takeaways article?

4. The Spartans have to do more than learn from their mistakes. Head coach Brent Brennan said that the loss was the fault of not only him, but also his coaching staff. Which coach do you think will be ousted first and do you think any players will request trades sooner than later?

5. Switching gears to San Jose State men’s basketball, they’ve put the same faces in different positions. Ryan Cooper was promoted to Assistant Coach and Trent Miyagishima took Cooper’s place as Director of Basketball Operations.

This Yogi knows when it’s over as Kings get 106-102 victory over Suns

sacramentobee.com photo: The Sacramento Kings Yogi Ferrell leads the way with 26 points in the Kings first preseason victory in Phoenix against the Suns at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Monday night

By Jerry Feitelberg and Morris Phillips

The Sacramento Kings Yogi Ferrell found his way to the bucket enough times to help get a preseason win for the Kings with 26 points. Ferrell, who played two seasons for the Dallas Mavericks, was signed by the Kings as a free agent in the offseason.

The Kings’ three-pointers were also falling, hitting 11-of-25 for 44 percent. The Kings were glad to notch this victory at Talking Stick Resort Arena for their first road victory and first game of the preseason 106-102. On the other hand, the Phoenix Suns were lacking with the three-point attempts, going 3-for-22.

Ferrell came off the bench in this contes,  but with the most minutes of any Kings player of the night, he shined with his intensive ability to find the hoop inside and out staying in the contest with the hot hand at 30 minutes. The Kings’ Willie Cauley-Stein also contributed huge with double digits in both the first and second halves of the game.

Stein went 7-for-11 and finished with 14 points, hitting baskets from the mid-range and in the inside, his 12 rebounds was the team-high for the contest. Head coach Dave Joerger had 15 players ready to play with Bogdan Bogdanovic and three players sat out.

The King opted not to use Zach Randolph, who out of the 11 players who got time, Randolph is a regular and a veteran and is expected to make the team. Of the 11 players used, they averaged 19 minutes with the exception of Wenyen Gabriel, who played for only two minutes.
