Welcome to The Sports Virus Podcast !
Sportscasters Joe Castellano and Ray Woodson go in-depth to talk about the Bay Area sports scene.
Former KNBR talk show host Ray Woodson and long-time sports announcer Joe Castellano are back to talk about Bay Area sports throughout the year and this is episode
#3 for 2025. Ray and Joe review the Eagles win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. Then they discuss the impact that Jimmy Butler is having on the Warriors.
Along with Super Bowl analysis, this podcast delves into whether or not the 49ers can follow the Eagles blueprint for success. Should San Francisco give up what it takes to acquire Myles Garrett? Speaking of acquisitions, the Warriors took a big swing when they traded for Jimmy Butler. How will that effect their chances of being a championship contender? Does Butler make everyone else better? On the baseball front we have a little discussion about what Justin Verlander has left in the tank to give the Giants in 2025..

Randy Cross played 13 years for the 49ers and always keeps tabs on the team that he won three Super Bowls with. Today he gives his thoughts on QB Trey Lance and the Week 1 loss to the Bears and takes a trip down memory lane to talk about his playing days in San Francisco.
Ray Woodson and Joe Castellano do a thorough examination of the Niners quarterback situation now that Jimmy G remains with the team as the backup to Trey Lance. Can it work out without being a distraction or will it be a full blown soap opera? Also, what happened to the San Francisco Giants and what can they do to improve in 2023?
The radio voice of the San Francisco 49ers Greg Papa joins us to talk about the Monday Night Football win over the Rams. We discuss the present and future for Jimmy Garoppolo and the current state of the team. Plus, the NBC Sports Bay Area San Francisco Giants pre-game/post-game host gives his thoughts on Gabe Kapler winning NL Manager of the Year and Buster Posey’s case for the Hall of Fame following his retirement. Finally, we chat about Steph Curry and the Warriors getting off to a hot start.
During our 2020 season- finale podcast, former Niners QB Steve Bono analyzes the week 17 loss to the Seahawks and evaluates how the players performed in what resulted in an injury-riddled 6-10 season. Plus, he looks forward to what SF will do in the off-season, especially at the quarterback position.
(Shanahan) has a history with Matt Ryan, but if it were me I would want my guy to be Carson Wentz. He’s younger, I think he’s a good player and he’s got more mobility than Matt.”
Every week former 49ers QB Steve Bono analyzes the Niners game. This week we chat about the Monday Night loss to the Bills which exposed flaws in the SF defense and QB Nick Mullens. 
right play, he’s getting them out of trouble. Maybe that’s something that (CJ) Beathard doesn’t do as well, but God when they have to be in a throwing situation I would like to have seen Beathard slinging it around last night.”
