UPDATE;O'Donnell won't interview Singletary anymore on KPIX show; Station cowers to 49ers/Singletary

This Mike Singletary-Dennis O'Donnell saga has taken another hilarious turn.

UPDATE:

This is how your lemmings in the SF sports media have reacted to this development thus far:

David White, SF Chronicle/SFGate: Are you kidding me? Guess not.
KCBS: Has tried to get a comment from the 49ers and CBS5: Note: Both CBS5 and KCBS are owned by CBS.
KNBR? Haven't heard.
Lowell Cohn: Nothing yet.
SJMerc: Dan Brown noted the piece, (see link)


The 49ers and KPIX have decided to turn to that prized TV sports journalist, Kim Coyle, to assume duties.

According to 49ers spokesman Bob Lange, the station and the team made a "joint agreement to give the interviews a better dynamic going forward." (Insert: PUKE)

Uh huh. Sure. Try this: KPIX COWERS TO 49ERS AND MIKE SINGLETARY. What a FARCE! What essentially took place here: The Niners/Singletary wanted no part of O'Donnell and Channel 5 abided by their demand. Wonder how O'Donnell feels?

This is right out of the Gong Show. This amounts to a "lets devise something that makes both of us looking utterly foolish!"

Remember the movie, "GlenGary, Glennross?" It was a film, based on the popular David Mamet play where NO ONE, not a soul in the movie, nor the play, came off looking good. Everyone was despised.

This latest move by the 49ers and the increasingly bizarre CBS5 brass is right up there in the GlenGary. dept. It further erodes the credibility of KPIX and their relationship with the Niners, (gees, I wonder who pulls the strings) and only reinforces Mike Singletary as a powerful boob.
