FORMER SJ MERCURY COLUMNIST MARK PURDY ON GIANTS, A’S, SHARKS, USC/UCLA TO BIG TEN

Welcome to The Sports Virus Podcast

Sportscaster Joe Castellano talks to a variety of sports figures from around the country about the latest news. These in-depth conversations take you inside the personalities of the people involved in the sports we love to watch, listen and read about.

Mark Purdy spent 33 years as a sports columnist at the San Jose Mercury News. Today he joins us to chat about the Bay Area sports scene.  He might be retired, but he still has plenty of opinions about sports. We talk about an unhappy 4th of July outside of sports, then dive into the state of the Giants and issues with the A’s stadium project. Mark gives his thoughts about new Sharks GM Mike Grier and the future of the team. Plus, we discuss USC and UCLA moving to the Big Ten Conference.
