The Sports Virus - Super Bowl 58 Review, Warriors at the All-Star Break
play

02/17/24 • 37 min

Ray and Joe play a game of what ifs when reviewing Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas. A fumble, a muffed punt and a blocked extra point were three key mistakes that the 49ers made as they lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, again. Should they have taken the ball first in overtime? How justified is the narrative surrounding Kyle Shanahan that he can't win the big game?

The discussion moves to the hardcourt and why the Warriors are in much better shape before the NBA All-Star break than they were just a couple of weeks ago.
