    Bobby Evans not ready to give up on Giants’ 2017 season

    Twenty-nine games into a 162-game season, we went all Lunatic Fringe on Giants general manager Bobby Evans.

    Start thinking about that No. 2 seed, Warriors

    Does that mean the NBA championship parade is gone, poof, just like that? No way. As we all know, the playoffs are an entirely different beast, and anything can happen, as I was just saying to my good friends Draymond Green, Marshawn Lynch and Bob Myers in a luxury suite at an A’s game.

    Murph: Expectations treat 49ers, Warriors differently

    We joked about it this morning on the air, but there was a grain of truth: When was the last time in the court of Bay Area sporting public opinion that the 49ers’ stock ticked higher than the Warriors stock?
