Matt Steinmetz and Darlye 'The Guru' Johnson bring you witty banter, emphatic takes, and thoughtful insight weekdays from 10am - 2pm on "Steiny & Guru." The duo loves a good debate, with Guru bringing the unbridled passion of a Bay Area fan to counter Steiny's veteran Bay Area journalist insight.
In hour 1 of Steiny and Guru, Steiny and Gu get into the Valkyries loss against the Lynx and why Steiny is convinced they aren't title contenders. That said, how much of a chance are you giving them to winning this years title? Is it greater than the 49ers odds of winning a Super Bowl? Plus, it's National Radio Day and Guru is pumped!
In hour 2 of Steiny and Guru, the guys get into Emmanuel Acho's comments on how the Niners should be ready to head to the NFC Championship this year. Is this too hasty? Plus, how good is the Niners WR corps? And how does Brock Purdy stack up against Justin Herbert? Does it come down to coaching?
The Valkyries are one of the best teams in the WNBA. The Niners are gearing up for another run at the playoffs. Who's got better odds at winning a title?
Steiny & Guru get into the meaning of 'cool' for quarterbacks, Jim Harbaugh's view of Brock Purdy, prioritizing youth over experience, building a foundation, Bryce Eldridge or Rafael Devers, how the Giants got here, Buster Posey speaking too soon, parenting corner, the lack of a Bay Area market, and why the boys couldn't work on the east coast.
Steiny & Guru try to define Brock Purdy and what makes him the right man for the San Francisco 49ers, even if it's a different person than the QB greats of the past.
Steiny & Guru wonder what the top building blocks are in the Bay Area for the San Francisco Giants, 49ers, and Golden State Warriors. Is it a bad thing we don't have a ton...
Steiny & Guru discuss why the Giants have found themselves headed towards 100 games and if the struggle now becomes the present/future against the past. Is it about Bryce Eldridge or Rafael Devers? The future may be now.
Steiny & Guru get into Pat McAfee's new role on MNF, bets for the upcoming football season, and why clubhouse health is important, even if we can't see it!
Steiny & Guru wonder how much the off-the-field issues have played out for the San Francisco Giants and if that's impacted their performance on the field. Can they solve that?
Steiny & Guru wonder if Buster Posey again spoke too soon in regard to his Manager and why, with 30 games left, there is still a lot that could go wrong with Tony Vitello.
