David Lombardi (born May 5, 1988), is an American sports pundit and commentator. He currently covers the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers for The Athletic (the sports section of the New York Times).

Education

Lombardi graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor's degree in 2010, and received a Masters in Broadcasting from Boston University in 2011.[1]

Career

A native of Visalia, California, Lombardi started his career covering Stanford sports for KZSU campus radio, serving as its Sports Director from 2006 until 2010, while an undergraduate, and covering Stanford football games.[2]

After receiving his Master's degree in broadcasting, Lombardi began his career at 95.7 The Game, while simultaneously working as a sideline reporter on a freelance basis for stations affiliated with the Comcast Network and Joined the Stanford Football Pregame Show on KNBR, as well as a general freelancer covering Stanford football. [3] [4]

His breakthrough came in September 2014, when he was hired by ESPN as a writer, pundit and on air-analyst for college football. In 2017, Lombardi was let go during a major layoff at ESPN [5]and began covering the San Francisco 49ers for The Athletic.

Lombardi made his first appearance (representing his outlet, The Athletic) on the San Francisco 49ers official podcast, You've Got Mail, in 2020.[6] He also frequently is a guest in various sports-related podcasts and reporting.[7][8]

Since 2021, Lombardi also serves as a lecturer at the College of Marin, teaching classes about writing for sports media, and using camera technology and social media as part of reporting.[9]

Reception

Praise

In 2012, Lombardi was listed as one of the top 20 newscasters covering college sports in North America by the Sportcasters Talent Agency.[10]

One of Lombardi’s first investigative jobs was to cover the 2018 misdemeanor drugs charges and the later felony domestic violence case surrounding the 49er’s Reuben Foster in 2018, the latter of which was ultimately closed. Another commentator from another network stated about his research on both sets of charges that "he stood out with his coverage".[11]

On January 26th, 2023, Lombardi was praised for capturing on video how San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch was able to sprint from his suite at the Dallas stadium down to the field in minutes during a divisional playoff game.[12]

In June 2022, Lombardi received further attention for being of the pundits that correctly predicted that the 49ers Deebo Samuel would re-sign to the 49ers while Jimmy Garoppolo was on the roster. He also received praise for providing frequent first-hand updates on the health status of the players, with one pundit calling him a "49ers insider".[13][14]

However, Lombardi’s most controversial prediction which proved true occurred in 2021. He predicted the 49ers would choose Trey Lance and not Mac Jones as their quarterback pick. He was credited by SFGate as being one of three reporters to make the correct prediction, as the overwhelming majority believed Jones would receive the nod.[15]

In May 2024, Lombardi's 'data-driven' approach was lauded by pundit Sauvik Banerjee. Banerjee devoted an article to Lombardi's methodology behind the determination that Brock Purdy is a stronger quarterback than Jordan Love. [16]

He was also profiled in an episode of the Paper Trail podcast in 2024. [17]

Criticism

David Lombardi's work was criticized in a January 2024 piece by Eric Ting of SFGate. Ting took issue with Lombardi for praising Brock Purdy excessively. Ting stated that "It might seem dramatic to blame a single writer for an entire ecosystem of takes. But Lombardi has become the conductor of the out-of-control Purdy hype train, and he drives the train in a manner that’s downright offensive to neutral observers." [18] A different SFGate journalist, Gabe Fernandez, had previously criticized Lombardi, in an article devoted to him, for apparently using incorrect statistics to back up his pro-Purdy arguments. [19]

David Lombardi was criticized and deemed an 'organization man' by fellow sports journalist Chris Beck for giving "the impression" that he has been "teaming up in an unspoken partnership with the Niners’ management" as opposed taking a more critical approach in covering the team. [20] In the article, Beck contrasted him with Grant Cohn, another sports commentator who takes a more contrarian and sceptical approach to covering football. Since 2023, Cohn has stated that he and Lombardi are locked in a feud. As of July 2024, Lombardi has never commented publicly in response to Cohn. This lead to a May 2024 House of Strauss podcast appearance by Cohn where he was asked whether he felt "threatened" by Lombardi's increasing use of Youtube, which up to then was considered 'Cohn-territory', which he denied. [21]

Personal life

According to a KQED feature, his earliest memory of the 49ers came in January of 1993, where he remembers his father being upset as the Dallas Cowboys were scoring a long touchdown to win the NFC Championship Game at the end of the 1992 season.[22]

In addition to U.S. citizenship, Lombardi holds Czech citizenship through his mother. He also is fluent in Czech. Lombardi is of Swiss-Italian descent on his father's side.[23] He is married to his wife, Margo Lombardi (neé Kaestner). The couple was featured in an edition of NFocus, a lifestyle magazine based in Nashville.[24]

He is not related to Vince Lombardi, despite the shared surname and the existence of rumors to the contrary.[25]
