Tensions between Bay Area sports radio rivals escalated Thursday after a social media mistake drew sharp criticism from a competing host. KNBR personality Adam Copeland publicly called out 95.7 The Game on his social accounts for an apparent error tied to its coverage of a recent San Jose Sharks victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
The issue centered on a Facebook post shared Thursday morning by 95.7 The Game. The clip highlighted the Sharks’ 4-3 comeback win. However, the caption stated the team was “down by two goals in the fourth period.”
That phrasing quickly raised eyebrows as Copeland wasted little time responding. He posted a screenshot of the caption on X and questioned whether the rival station actually watches games.
The situation escalated further later in the day as Copeland claimed sources inside 95.7 The Game indicated the caption may have been generated using artificial intelligence. Copeland mocked the approach, suggesting automation without proper oversight can lead to avoidable mistakes.
95.7 The Game removed the post from their Facebook account.
Copeland revisited the topic later in the day on his KNBR program Dirty Work in an interview with independent creator and former Sharks television broadcaster Brodie Brazil. Brazil began his interview by injecting humor into his opening statement on the Sharks win.
“I just want to declare, I think the sharks have been one of the best fourth period teams in the NHL lately,” said Brazil. “I saw it on social, and I had to have a laugh. Some things you got to hold them to a standard on. If we’re covering the Sharks on AI, I don’t know about that.”
95.7 The Game has not commented on the matter.
