    In Hour 1 of Steiny & Guru, Evan Giddings and Daryle 'The Guru' Johnson discuss the recent report from the San Francisco Standard indicating that manager Tony Vitello will return to the San Francisco Giants next season. They also discuss why the Giants wouldn't hire Tony Vitello to only be a one-year manager without letting him learn from his mistakes. In Hour 2, Evan and Guru wonder if the San Francisco Giants can turn things around with Tony Vitello at the helm. This comes after a horrific weekend series against the Colorado Rockies in which Vitello called out his club for playing like a "JUCO team." They follow that with a conversation about the San Francisco 49ers, and if running back Christian McCaffrey is holding out for new money instead of dealing with an injury. Will he get his new bag? In Hour 3, Evan and Guru continue breaking down Christian McCaffrey possibly holding out for a new contract ahead of the San Francisco 49ers' Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia.
