Depending on schedule, this is a potential Part 1 due to a surprise area Internet outage that cut us a bit short. Would love to discuss more topics with Tom, whoâs just so easy to talk to. Like so many others, I was shocked to hear KNBR cut ties with the regionâs most beloved sports radio host. Hopefully, the silver lining here is that weâll get to hear more of Tolbert in other contexts. Dudeâs a gem, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to chat about old basketball NBA with him.

In addition to being co-host of the Light Years podcast, Saam is tasked with running Creator Growth at Playback, an interactive sports streamer app. This means that a lot of this millennialâs waking hours are spent on trying to figure out the sports viewership habits of Zoomers.
This is the foundation of our conversation in this pod: Whatâs up with young people? What programs are they gravitating to and why? And are their habits upending traditional notions of what âmainstreamâ media even is? But first, true to Bay Area form, we start with expressing our annoyance at the conventional takes of Purdy-hating, âNFL Film Watchers.â
Topics includeâŠ
* âFilm Watchersâ donât have an edge on the data
* Is NFL Twitter worse for the fake smart takes than NBA Twitter
* How the beat writer has to pretend to not care if the team loses
* Ya, I cared when the Warriors lost
* My regret over my ESPN the Magazine Draymond âhit pieceâ

When Tim Kawakami and I get together, weâre going to talk sports media. Considering that Tim just recently left the Athletic, where used to be my boss, and joined the ambitious SF Standard, weâve got much to discuss. Also, for those who like Niners talk, weâve got a whole lot of it in the back half of this pod. My teaser is that Tim dispels a commonly believed false notion or two. Enjoy!

Nate Jones, NBA agent and footwear entrepreneur at Move Insoles, is here to discuss a shocking corporate ouster at Nike. We get into how Nike modernized at its own expense, lost core customers, and ultimately fired a CEO they were just recently so enamored with. What lessons can be learned from the shoe apparel giantâs issues? What parallels do we see to recent problems at Disney and overall entertainment? Is this what happens when a corporation sacrifices art in pursuit of efficiency?
Oh, and we also discuss why the hell Nikeâs not making more of the Caitlin Clark moment. Enjoy..
