Against the Clock is a sports podcast focusing mostly on the Golden State Warriors in NBA and the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders in NFL. Join Kyle and Spencer for 30 minutes a week to catch up on the latest in Bay Area professional sports. This
Golden State Warriors take it to the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight scoring 144 when all was said and done. WTF is Ja Morant doing pointing lasers at the Pacers traveling party? In other news, the 49ers take a beating against the Eagles, Pro Bowl changes seem to have worked out for the better, and Super Bowl LVII is upon us with the biggest question that matters: Will you bet against Mahomes?
Not much of a shock when it comes to the final four in the NFL Conference Championship matchups. 49ers find themselves in their 3rd NFC Championship in 4 years. Brett Maher got shook when Jerry Jones made an in-person visit during warmups and if you're a Cowboys fan do you marry or kill Dak? And what's with Mahomes' ankle? Are the Chiefs a sure thing, or does Cincinnati have a shot?
Greg Olson's hair plugs are looking great, Chargers lose out on advancing in the playoffs by ANOTHER f**king missed field goal, and Mike Tirico is a national treasure. 49ers continue their dominant streak and secure their position as the leader of the pack in the NFC. Four great games lined up moving into the Divisional Rounds of the NFL playoffs. The only thing for certain is to expect everything from Doug Pederson.
Positive outcomes for Hamlin and Hillis as the former returns home and the latter is recovering from saving his children. The Golden State Warriors show potential but seem to lack the motivation as the NBA moves into the downhill half of the season. Now's the time it matters. The NFL moves into Wild Card Weekend with a focus on the 49ers and Seahawks as well as the other weekend matchups.
Thoughts and hearts go out to Damar Hamlin and his family. We wish him a speedy recovery. NFL has a tough choice to make with how to handle the game. Draymond is taking backpack three's with Golden State, while Baldwin is looking good. You know what doesn't look good? Punching a kid, Ja. Best 49er/Raider game in living memory among the turmoil with Derek Carr.
In the NBA Warriors continue to disappoint in the first half of the season, will things be different after Christmas? Will Santa help Poole find his shot? In the NFL the 49ers are vying for the #1 seed continuing their winning streak with Brock Purdy at the helm. Raiders get lucky and win from the stupidest play in NFL history. Rhamandre started it, but Jakobi takes the crown.
RIP Grant Wahl, the sporting world lost a great journalist and analyst. While we celebrate the World Cup, we recognize FIFA for the comic book villain they are. 49ers are looking Purdy with 6 straight wins. Can SF turn it into a 7th straight against the Seahawks? The Raiders blow yet another 13+ point lead and found a way to lose. Also, nobody is having a good time in Tampa Bay…nobody. Will Belichick Old Yeller Mac Jones?
Niners with a decisive victory against their divison rival in Arizona. The Warriors decide to take a night off with a continued disappointing streak…but it's early. Does Wiseman got it? On NFL Sunday the Raiders squeak one out, the Jets average 2.77 inches per play (Zach Wilson is Jamarcus Russel) and the Vikings disintegrate against the Cowboys. Also, Mahomes for Prez?
The Golden State Warriors continue their shaky start, is it time to bail on Wiseman? What are the takeaways from Kerr's public statements and the consideration of Curry's timeline? Spencer thinks about retracting his statements on Tua, while the Raiders continue to fall apart. What does the future hold for Josh McDaniels and for Derek Carr?
Warriors uncharacteristic start. Lack of energy and a vacuum of production from anyone not named Steph. Dan Snyder and the Washington Commanders as well as Roger Goodell and the NFL get sued by the D.C. Attorney General. Drop a grenade on the Raiders, or ride McDaniel's out? Russ's play makes Pete look like a genius. Geno's in the MVP discussion - whose in yours?
Coming off of a double BYE week Kyle, Spencer, and Colin discuss an NBA-style NFL trade deadline. Geno Smith the Cinderella to Russel Wilson's Hillary Clinton. Is Tuna elite? Speaking of NBA - Portland is legit. Clippers are off to a bad start. The Pelicans look frisky. Why is Kyrie Irving posting fake Hitler quotes? And Steven King does not negotiate with Terrorists.
Kyle, Spencer, and Colin discuss the Sucker Punch heard 'round the world. Draymond & Jordan seem to have more than a minor scuffle. Russ is dunzo, the Jets are a real thing, and keep Geno's name out of your f***ing mouth. Heartbreaking loss for Las Vegas in Kansas City - screw the analytics and take the points. Kyler Murray's out here dressing like Hillary, he's with her, and...the Jags are gonna Jag.
Thank God Tua's okay but RIP to Tom Brady's marriage. Raiders join the Panthers in 1-3 company and shake off the funk while the 49ers come off a huge upset win against the Rams. Deebo is on another level. Give Spencer the goddamn falcons and finally drive sad dad out of the league. Aaron Rogers continues to struggle in the first half, but typically recovers in time blame it on the a-a-a-ayahuasca.
Ken Dorsey loses his shit. Miami and Jacksonville are showing up and earning contracts. Brandon Staley seems to have no issue sacrificing his franchise QB. What was going on in Kansas City? Tom Brady is looking extra sad these days.
Trey Lance and the season that wasn't, could it be the career that wasn't? 49ers escape the defeated ring and look to Jimmy G to bring them forward. Something's wrong in Chicago, Colin's dad is right so far about the Raiders - Winless in Vegas, and Charlotte while they hope to put a W on the board in Week 3. You know what hasn't been winning? Spencer's wallet. Thanks Chubb. Oh, and Tom Brady is haunting Tampa Bay Strip Clubs. What exactly is going on here?
With Week 1 Kicking off in the NFL - the only things that are certain are Death, Taxes, and Injured Running Backs. Kyle, Spencer, and Colin touch on predictions and previews for Week 2. Brett Farve thinks only white people deserve clean drinking water. Meanwhile the 49ers found out last minute they were playing in Bikini Bottom. If you're going to pay him all that money to get him, let Russ Cook! Thoughts on Jimmy G's future in an unprecedented role reversal.
Kyle and Spencer return to revel in victory of the Golden State Warriors. Have they emerged as a Dynasty? There seems to be only daylight ahead still for Steph and Klay with rising stars in Poole and Wiggins. In the sports void left after the NBA championship, the guys discuss recent NFL trades, early favorites, and a review of the AFC West.
Kyle and Spencer recap games 4 & 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals. The Baby-faced Assassin, Steph Curry, is cementing his place as top 10 of all-time. When he's in the zone, he's IN the zone. Wiggins coming up big with the boards while Draymond gets his patented trip-single...at least he's contributing. Marcus Smart got caught sleeping, and Christian Wood is traded for a box of scraps.
Warriors choke in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Kyle and Spencer break down the possible roads for success for the rest of the finals. One thing that's certain is the Dubs need to mix it up. Tommy Pham Will Smith's Joc Pederson which was wild...and is anyone else sick of Marc Davis?
Get out your brooms ladies and gentlemen, the Warriors appear to be gearing for a series sweep as Kyle and Spencer recap games 1-3 in the series against the Mavericks. Kerr's reaching deep in the bag, good minutes from Moody, Looney's making an impact, and there's a look in Steph's eyes. Meanwhile in the East we have the Hospital Ward series with the Celtics and Heat. How are the parlays Mr. Foster?
Kyle and Spencer discuss the upcoming Conference Finals outlooks, and recap the Warriors v. Grizzlies series. Game Ball for the series goes to Looney while Steve Kerr has been at home breaking clipboards. Poor Margot.
Kyle and Spencer recap Game 4 of Round 2 of the NBA playoffs with an ugly Golden State victory over the Memphis. Does the NBA have a dirty foul problem, or a flopping problem? Poole seemingly uses an infinity glove to grab Ja's knee, and the Warriors continue to dominate the boards over the Grizzlies. NBA Awards discussion, the rest of Round 2 outlook, and Al Horfrod's wife keeps us all young.
Join Kyle and Spencer to celebrate and recap a Golden State Warriors Round 2, Game 1 win of the NBA playoffs and run through a brief recap of the 2022 NFL draft. Join us on your commute, when you walk the dog, go to the gym, or when your fighting with your neighbors.
