He's retiring, right? And what happened? How did he go from signing two for 40 with the Warriors to, nope, I don't want to play?

It's not that he doesn't want to play.

All reports are, Seren, it's the illness and dealing with the symptoms from pox.

that's what has hampered him the last few years when he was healthy for example saran last year played with the warriors he looked good and that's why the warriors gave him the two-year deal for 40 million dollars it's unfortunate that the illness he deals with and they've never acknowledged it directly and neither is he but that's what the speculation is is dealing with the symptoms from pots which is unfortunate because they can use forcing us the way he was playing last year this I know they got off to the 0-3 start and Steve Cooper wasn't panicked at all.

But this is a pretty good basketball team.

And they struck gold with Yaxel Lendeborg in the draft.

And when they get Jimmy Butler back, this team feels, and granted, they're still in the 49ers, Seren, where they're old.

But how is he getting away? Why is he available when it's just one year into the new regime, a very experimental new regime with the Giants?

Nobody

was alive the last time they saw the White Sox win a home playoff series or a series, clinch a series at home.

No one on this planet is alive.

That's how long it has been.

It is remarkable.

And some of the, they're bucking the trends with history, right? Three consecutive 100 lost seasons for the White Sox, including the modern era record of over 120 losses two years ago.

This is totally unexpected.

I think we'll get some

What stood out to you the most from this team?

Last season, this team found a way to get into the playoffs.

They were solid defensively.

I thought Bill Armstrong made some aggressive moves at a deadline.

When you bring in a guy like Mackenzie Wieger to help bolster and give some experience.

Another icing call here against

But everybody thinks they're going to take that next step, Roxy, and it's not always a linear path like that.

It isn't a lot depends on fit and the new guys coming in like Trocek how will they fit within the room and look he's an experienced player so is Lee I don't think there's gonna be any issues I think it will be seamless and they'll step into leadership roles with their experience we've got

Is this the solution to trying to ease the workload after he had over 400 touches last year when you combine rushes and receptions?

They've been searching for a few years to get a legitimate, strong backup to spell McCaffrey.

And Christian's getting older also.

But Kalon Black has shown you that he is a legitimate NFL back.

He carried the ball more times than McCaffrey did in the game.

And they were both effective on the ground.

The Niners averaged almost six yards a carry during the game.

So, I mean, like, do we feel pretty good about where those receivers are right now moving forward?

Mm.

Now, this is an exclusive club, because there's 360 Division I college basketball teams, and only 68 were making the field.

Now we're going a little bit more.

It's still a pretty small percentage that, that make the tournament.

So look, it, it's not a hill I'm gonna die on saying, "No, it has to be this way." I get it.

And let's face it, it's more inventory and more money for the people that produce the television for the NCAA tournament.

And for example, when we get the college football playoff expanded, it's gonna be more revenue and, and more opportunities.

Yeah

What's the blowback on that right now in the Bay Area? There

was a lot of pushback to this, and it's confusing to a lot of people how it actually came to light.

But, you know, this thing was buried for, what, about 11 days, Saran, until finally it was uncovered when it was reported to the state.

But the Palo Alto Police Department, which operates differently than a lot of other police departments around the area, they don't report what they consider to be minor traffic accidents.

and make it for public consumption.

And so it got buried a little bit.

I think the Niners could have done a better job, Serena, getting out in front of this by saying, hey, look, Kyle Shanahan was involved in an accident.

I mean, how does this end up playing out?

I'm like, is he just making sure that he's cut and making sure that they can't trade him?

Well, he is trying to burn every piece of that reputation on his way out the door, isn't he? Yes.

With the way he has handled this.

And how dare the 49ers give him all this money and invest in him? And, look.

The Niners have played this publicly very cautiously because they know he is an asset.

They're hoping, as you pointed out, somebody will give up something to get Brandon Ayuk.

But the frustrating thing is the Niners invested in him.

So are they going to start selling?
