Summary

Sportscaster Rich Eisen sits down with Matt Maiocco to weigh in on the 49ers' ability to bounce back this coming season. Eisen also reminisces on his humble broadcast television beginnings in Northern California, his rise to ESPN and hosting his own show. Eisen's familiarity with the Pacific Northwest and especially 49ers fans provide him the credibility and insight to label San Francisco as one of the NFL's most "underrated," fanatic franchises. Additionally, Jennifer Lee Chan joins Matt to break down wide receiver Jauan Jennings' contract extension request and how his value stacks up against other marquee receivers in the league.
