The Sal and Steiny Podcast -- No. 37 Sep 15, 2015

Show notes

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books and it's official: The 49ers are great and the Raiders stink. Actually, that's one of the things Sal and Steiny talk about -- why does there seem to be a rush to make some kind of blockbuster proclamation about something?

Kaepernick's back! Hyde is better than Gore! Carr is overrated! Del Rio is in over his head!

Sal and Steiny also talk about how expectations define a season, and why the Raiders and 49ers are now viewed differently. The pair also addresses whether or not the Bay Area media is being fair to Jed York.

Oh, and did you hear about the Taco Bell outside AT&T Park is going to start serving beer? We talk about it all.

The Sal and Steiny Show -- Episode No. 36 Sep 09, 2015

Show notes

Sal Castaneda and Matt Steinmetz talk about the start of the NFL seasons and the openers for both the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders. The 49ers will play the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, and they'll be wearing alternate black uniforms. Sal doesn't like it. At all.

As for the Raiders, they play the Cincinnati Bengals and Steinmetz thinks expectations might be getting too high. The Giants are out of it -- despite Steinmetz saying otherwise -- but what are the chances we see a Tim Hudson-Barry Zito matchup later this month when the Giants and A's play each other?

Lastly, can we stop the ridiculous talk that the Warriors' new arena in San Francisco will be done by 2018.

The Sal and Steiny Show -- Episode No. 35 Sep 02, 2015

Show notes

Sal Castaneda and Matt Steinmetz welcome Cam Inman into the shed for a special version of Sal and Steiny. Heading into the 2015 season, there are countless questions about about the San Francisco 49ers. Inman addresses them all.

Inman, a Bay Area native, has covered the 49ers for the past 15 years -- as either a columnist or beat writer -- and few regional journalists have his perspective. And even Inman isn't sure of what to expect out of this year's team.

Inman, Castaneda and Steinmetz hit on it all ... the vilification of Jed York, the hectic and chaotic offseason, Colin Kaepernick's critical season, the frustration of the fan base, the concern over the Levi's Stadium, and so much more.

Oh, and of course, we'll talk Australia's own Jarryd Hayne.

If you're a hard-core 49ers fan or even a casual one, this podcast has plenty for everyone. Take a listen.

The Sal and Steiny Show -- Episode No. 34 Aug 24, 2015

Show notes

Sal and Steiny welcome Oakland Raiders beat writer Vic Tafur to the Podcast. Tafur works for the San Francisco Chronicle and has covered a variety of Bay Area teams over the years.

Tafur goes inside the Raiders, addressing all the pertinent topics surrounding the team. Is Derek Carr the real deal? How dynamic is Amari Cooper? What's the difference between Jack Del Rio and Tony Sparano? Where will the Raiders be playing next year?

Tafur talks about it all and even gets into some San Francisco 49ers, another team he's covered during his career. We also talk about what a tough hand he was dealt as it pertians to his travel schedule this season.

The Sal and Steiny Show -- Episode 33 Aug 17, 2015

Show notes

After taking a few well-earned weeks off, Sal Castaneda and Matt Steinmetz are back at it, talking Bay Area sports and other things.

The 49ers and Raiders both had their first exhibition games of the season and there's plenty to talk about. Are the Raiders going to be better than the 49ers this season? Or how about this: Is it possible the 49ers could benefit from Jim Harbaugh's departure?

As for the Raiders, they seem to be trending upwards behind an impressive core of Kahlil Mack, Derek Carr and Amari Cooper. Still a long way to go, but the Raiders are looking OK.

So, of course, are the San Francisco Giants, who seemed poised for another big-time playoff run. As for the Oakland A's, well, Castaneda and Steinmetz address that team, too.

The Sal and Steiny Show -- Episode No. 32 Jul 30, 2015

Show notes

This week Sal and Steiny talk about the opening of NFL training camps and the 49ers and Raiders outlook on the 2015 season.

With championships by the San Francisco Giants and the Golden State Warriors coming in their last seasons, will Bay Area pro football teams be competitive? Is it possible Colin Kaepernick will benefit from Jim Harbaugh's departure? Is Derek Carr the future for Oakland?

Castaneda and Steinmetz will add their opinions on the above and also throw in a few basketball notes to round out the show.

The Sal and Steiny Show -- Episode No. 31 Jul 22, 2015

Show notes

Episode No. 31 is dedicated to Adonal Foyle, who was a guest on the Sal and Steiny Show several weeks back and someone who wore the No. 31 when he played.

It's all I could think of to lead off this description.

Anyway, Castaneda and Steinmetz talk about Jed York's comments about how Jim Tomsula could do for the 49ers what Steve Kerr did for the Warriors, why the Giants aren't worth talking about at this point and whether anyone is really going to get into golf because of Jordan Speith.

The Sal and Steiny Show -- Episode No. 30 Jul 15, 2015

Show notes

They say it's the "slowest sports week of the year," but Castaneda and Steinmetz don't think so -- not by a long shot. The major-league baseball all-star game was a success, and we want more of Pete Rose. Apparently, so do most fans.

Sal and Steiny talk about Mike Trout and Bryce Harper and wonder why Harper, so far, is even mentioned in the same breath as the "Millville Meteor." Also, recently a national publication called the San Francisco Giants' infield the best in baseball. To which Steiny says: "Really?"

Other topics include the NBA offseason, Tiger Woods and the British Open and what happens when a prison bus breaks down on I-580 during rush hour.

The Sal and Steiny Show -- Episode No. 29 Jul 08, 2015

Show notes

After a run of 28 consecutive weeks of shows, Sal and Steiny took their first respite of their young podcast careers. So, what did the boys do on their week off? Well, Castaneda went to Vegas and Steinmetz went to the Women's World Cup in Vancouver.

Steinmetz said the Women's World Cup Final -- a 5-2 U.S. victory -- was the greatest sporting event he's seen in his entire life. Castaneda said the pool at his Vegas hotel was off the chain, too.

Sal and Steiny get into a few subjects as summer starts, including David Lee's tenure with the Warriors, why the Giants and A's are still in OK positions and why baseball's All-Star Game just aint what it used to be.

Episode No. 28 -- Warriors Playoff Extravaganza Jun 24, 2015

Show notes

Sal and Steiny are like many people out there -- still having a tough time believing that the Golden State Warriors are 2015 NBA Champions. But it is true and Sal and Steiny are going to talk about it.

Castaneda and Steinmetz talk about the season and put a bow on a historic season -- after a spectacular title parade in Oakland, Calif.

In a little bit of a podcast quirk, Sal and Steiny end up talking about the Sacramento Kings and some of the undeniable paralells between where that franchis is and where the Warriors used to be. Sal and Steiny wonder if the Kings are three years away from being three years away.

The Warriors certainly aren't that team anymore ... and Sal and Steiny talk about it.
