Steiny & Guru chat with ESPN Senior writer Tim Keown about the A's opener, plus Curry's longevity and 49ers beat writer Matt Barrows about the 49ers offseason decisions.
Steiny & Guru spend today juggling the Warriors & 49ers. It's a HUGE game in Memphis tonight for Golden State and there was also a big statement from the owner of the 49ers. ESPN's Tim Keown joins us at 1:00p and Matt Barrows of The Athletic stops by at 1:30p.
When Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors won 12 of their first 15 games this season, it seemed they might have solved what's ailed them the past few years. But in the ensuing weeks and months, wins have been exceedingly hard to come by, and with Curry playing fewer minutes than ever. Warriors fans are growing increasingly restless. So with Golden State taking the national TV stage against the Timberwolves Wednesday night, Tim Keown shares what he learned from a sit down with Curry and explores whether this team is doing right by him.

On the afternoon of September 26th, the Oakland Athletics played the Texas Rangers in their final game ever in the city they've called home for 57 seasons. Following the lead of the Warriors and Raiders, they are the third major sports franchise to leave the city in just five years. This exodus is the culmination of decades of decisions, negotiations and missteps. And now, Oakland is no longer a big-time sports town. So how exactly did we get here? How does this all look and feel on the ground in the East Bay? And when a city loses all its teams, what's left behind? With the help of lifelong Bay Area resident Tim Keown, we've been exploring these questions for months. And today, we kick off our multipart series Death of a Sports Town with a look at the ironically rich history of sports in “The Town,” and we unearth the 30-year-old decision that doomed sports in the gritty-city-by-the-bay. The multipart series: ‘Death of a Sports Town' is being re-published in the feed for the next 4 days.

Ippei Mizuhara was more than a friend and interpreter for Shohei Ohtani. He was the man that held the door shut between Ohtani and the outside world. With Mizuhara gone in the wake of this massive sports betting scandal, Ohtani is now a man alone. Tim Keown spent time watching the Dodgers' newest star up close and personal recently, and he explains to us how Ohtani's newfound isolation might actually be the key to him opening up to the Dodgers, and maybe eventually the rest of us all.

The Detroit Lions are usually considered one of the most hapless franchises in the NFL. They have never been to a Super Bowl, and are preparing to make just their second trip to the NFC Championship in the Super Bowl era. But most of that history predates their current head coach, Dan Campbell. He's led an overhaul over his first three seasons that have the Lions on the cusp of their first Super Bowl appearance, and it's safe to say that he's got everyone in the Lions' wake fired up. Televised tears of joy, fans dying their hair blue, even General Motors and the Ford Motor Company have joined in - issuing Lions themed logos in a show of support. Tim Keown took a trip to Detroit to witness firsthand just how much the culture has evolved under Campbell. And reports on a team, a fanbase, and a city ready to usher in a new era in Detroit Lions football. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today marks five months exactly since Oakland fans had their worst fears confirmed: The Athletics were leaving town, having reached an agreement for a shiny new stadium in Las Vegas. Fans felt betrayed and most of all, blindsided by the news. Up to that point, there had been promising talks about building a stadium in Oakland's Howard Terminal, and A's owner John Fisher has never explained his reasoning for killing that deal…until now. So today, ESPN's Tim Keown brings us his findings from his sit down with Fisher — a rarity in itself — and why there still might be a chance that the A's stay put. Learn more about your ad choices.

You aren't nuts, we did just do a Shohei Ohtani episode two weeks ago. But when you're dealing with MLB's brightest star, a unicorn who can blow you away from the pitcher's mound and then blow you out from the batter's box, every day is something brand new. So, do a piece on Ohtani one day, and just a few hours after it's published, he might have another historic moment. ESPN's Tim Keown took a different approach. He hung around the Los Angeles Angels' clubhouse for an entire week, bookended by two Ohtani starts, to get to the bottom of who Ohtani really is, on and off the diamond. So today, Keown shares his findings…and gives us some insight into what the future might hold for Shohei Ohtani, at the trade deadline, and beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the nearly 150-year history of professional sports in America, very few teams – if any – have used the threat of relocation quite like the Athletics. The baseball club began in 1901 in Philadelphia before moving to Kansas City in 1955, and eventually settled in its present home of Oakland in 1968. But, as Slate writer Stefan Fatsis recently noted, throughout its lifetime, the A's franchise has planned – or threatened – to move an additional 19 times. So today, as the team explores yet another possible move, this time to Las Vegas, Tim Keown documents the latest chapter in the A's nomadic history...and how the fans in Oakland are responding.

Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is having a season unlike any other. From a highlight reel catch against the Bills to breaking records for most receiving yards through a player's first three seasons, Jefferson has been this season's breakout player. But despite his almost immediate dominance in the NFL, Jefferson was just the 5th wide receiver taken in his draft class, and coming out of high school received only one scholarship offer from a Power 5 program–LSU. Tim Keown profiled Jefferson for ESPN's Cover Story, and he tells us how the Vikings magical wide receiver went overlooked…until his play refused to be ignored. Learn more about your ad choices.

Before Davante Adams became arguably the best receiver in the NFL with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback, he was a star at Fresno State. But then-Bulldogs quarterback Derek Carr wasn't just the guy throwing Adams the ball…he was one of Adams' best friends. They've spent eight years apart in which Adams blossomed and Carr became the franchise quarterback for the Las Vegas (and Oakland) Raiders, but the duo is finally back together…after Carr reached out this offseason to woo Adams away from the Frozen Tundra. Tim Keown gives us the inside story of how one of the NFL's elite playmakers ended up in the desert. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We might never have seen anyone quite like Chet Holmgren in the NBA. This year's second overall pick in the NBA Draft is over 7 feet tall, but he's only 190 pounds. With a 7' 6” wingspan, Holmgren can dribble up the floor and take step-back threes like a guard. There is so much hype around Holmgren…but there are also just as many questions. Will he be the prodigy that showed up and dominated in his first Summer League appearance? Or will he be bullied and pushed around by stronger big men once the season starts? Only one thing is certain about Chet Holmgren: we want to see more. ESPN's Tim Keown joins us to profile the biggest (literally) storyline out of this year's rookie class.

Picture a baseball manager. Whatever image you've conjured in your mind of, say, a slightly out of shape, older man who's all business - it probably doesn't match Gabe Kapler, who manages the San Francisco Giants. Kapler is an enigma: an uber-buff fitness geek who only eats red meat. He sports well manicured facial hair and speaks in verse, sounding more like a poet than a baseball player. Tim Keown introduces us to Kapler, and how he's rewriting baseball's unwritten rules…and reimagining what it means to be a manager. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There are few, if any, boxers in history with the resume of Manny Pacquiao. Inside the ring, he has won twelve major titles across EIGHT different weight classes. Outside the ring, he has been elected first, to the House of Representatives, and later, to the Senate back home in the Philippines. And now, Pacquiao appears to be gearing up to run for president of the Philippines. It's a move that would put him in direct conflict with the current president Rodrigo Duterte, a leader whose autocratic tendencies suggest he is not afraid to fight dirty...and have left some in Pacquiao's camp concerned for Manny's safety, as well as their own. With Pacquiao taking the ring tomorrow night, perhaps the final time in his storied career, Tim Keown joins the show to discuss how Pacquaio's latest fight, the fight for the highest office in the Philippines, will be his most challenging yet.
In this episode I assembled comments from more than two dozen people - among them reporters, columnists, broadcasters and media professors. They provide their observations on the 2020 football season - both college and professional; a season played in the throes of a pandemic, long before a vaccine was available. Their comments are personal and illuminative, a kind of oral history of the season. Among the contributors are Tim Keown of ESPN, Sam Farmer of the LA Times, national broadcaster Ted Robinson, CBS Sports football reporter Dennis Dodd, SF Chronicle columnist Ann Killion, Dan Brown of The Athletic, media scholar and author Andrew Billings, and a number of local Nebraska reporters and broadcasters.

Quarterback Trey Lance is projected to be a top-10 pick in this year’s NFL draft. But the 20-year-old from North Dakota State has largely flown under the radar, overshadowed by big names like Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields. Lance and his family have bucked trends from the start, and his path to the NFL has seemed fast, and yet also circuitous. Tim Keown shares Lance’s story, and why he’s captured the attention of NFL scouts everywhere.
Frank Gore might be the most underrated legend in the NFL. He sits number 3 on the all-time rushing list behind only Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton. He’s been to a Super Bowl and made 5 Pro Bowls. But now, in his 16th NFL season, Gore finds himself on a team that might not win a single game. Tim Keown joins the show to examine why Gore has remained so under appreciated despite putting up Hall of Fame level numbers, how he manages to keep pushing forward despite playing on the NFL’s worst team, and whether he can continue playing into 2021 and beyond. Then, Ryan McGee joins the show to talk about tomorrow’s surprising matchup between BYU and Coastal Carolina, and educate us on the ways and customs of Myrtle Beach, SC.
No athlete in the NFL is quite like Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf. He’s a terrifying combination of size, and strength, and speed. But how did Metcalf become this incredible threat for Seattle? ESPN senior writer Dave Fleming tells us what drives 22-year-old Metcalf, and how the Seahawks are turning him into even more: Fleming profiled Metcalf for ESPN Cover Story, out today on ESPN.com. Then, Tim Keown talks to us from inside the Ball family compound, on the night LaMelo Ball is drafted into the NBA.

Tim Keown: Writer for ESPN and ESPN the Magazine on LaMelo Ball
Tonight, the NBA holds its draft lottery, when the hopes and dreams of 14 franchises hinge on a set of bouncing ping-pong balls that will decide their fate. And while we don't know which team will be picking first...many suspect the first player selected will be 18-year-old LaMelo Ball. LaMelo, his older brothers Lonzo and LiAngelo, and their father LaVar Ball, have become basketball's most famous...some would say most infamous...family. They have millions of followers on social media and their own reality show, "Ball in the Family." But somehow, LaMelo has remained something of an enigma for hoop fans, largely because he's spent the past several years playing in Lithuania and Australia, instead of committing to a big time college program. In January, ESPN's Tim Keown spent time with Ball in Australia, and shares his up-close reporting on Ball as a person and as a player.
ESPN's Tim Keown joins Buster to reflect on covering the home run chase of 1998 (14:46).

Plus, Todd Radom on Busch Stadium and the weekly quiz (3:22).

Dennis Rodman. Loved and hated by basketball fans and pop culture fans alike, he’s known for his off-court antics as much if not more than his success with the Chicago Bulls. ESPN’s Tim Keown got a super up-close view when he helped write Rodman’s 1996 autobiography Bad as I Wanna Be. As the Rodman-focused installment of the docuseries The Last Dance debuts, Keown tells the story of his weeks living with Dennis Rodman, and what he learned. Keown lived with the bad boy player at the height of his fame. Get his insights on Rodman's career and life here.
