You are locked on 49ers. Your daily San Francisco 49ers

part of the locked on podcast network, your team every day.

My guess today is Mr. Mad Barrows. You know him well. He's a friend of the show and just a pleasure to chat 49ers with.

You can find his work at the Athletic.com. You can find him on Twitter at

Mad Barrows. Matt how are you how you join this by week? I'm enjoying it

did a little bit of work early in the by week but I plan on relaxing over the weekend maybe actually

watching some other NFL games which is a rarity for an NFL beat writer people

always say oh you're in a fantasy league you must you must

dominate your fantasy football league well I don't and the reason is because I

only get to watch basically one game on the Sunday which is the 49ers game

So other people end up watching a lot more different teams in different players than I do which it probably explains my 11th place finish in my in my league, which is my usual order of finish.

It's only fair if you play other beat riders on the same beat, right?

Yeah, I don't. I'm in a sack B one from my Sacramento B days.

We started up a league. Gosh, must have been 1999 that at least I joined it I don't know if it was going on before then and

just about everybody has gone from the bee because the bee is

cratering and losing people left and right but it's

kind of nice that all of the guys who are on that in that original league have stuck

together and we still do it once a year so it's a good way to catch up with people and

It's it's the oldest league I've been a part of and I'm glad I'm still in it

So you're not traveling this week.

I'm sure you're not spending time at the facility or at least as much time as you normally would.

What, how long is a day for a beat writer say on game day?
