Ed Baxter: A personality.
ReplyDeleteFans of Oakland teams: Owners you can believe in.
Radnich: The incentive to prepare.
Larry Baer: Some sincere humility.
Brian Copeland: A new voice.
Don't forget Rich Lieberman: -a round table pizza and relevance because we all know he is just a boil on the ass of irrelevancy. It's easy to take shots at everybody when you're insignicant and no one cares
ReplyDeleteWith Radnich on vacation-it's like "A Wonderful Life" of what 9-12 is without him.
ReplyDeleteFP,is much more honest and less game and head playing than Radnich-but the less experience shows..it can drag. Eric Byrnes is just insufferable. A poor mans David Lee Roth.
Marty Lurie has baseball...but that's his game for three hours.
Ray Ratto. As much as Ray couldn't tell you who will win tommorow to save his life..he's really the best host on KNBR. Full time or part time. He's got the Lurie esoterica and the Radnich funnies without it being at others undeserving expense. In other words, if he picks on anybody it's the pompous wealthy-the very same Radnich praises.He also treats callers with respect-rare at KNBR.
Comcast should give Ray some kind of talk to himself TV gig. It would be better than sports rap inanity.
On my Christmas wish list? and big time?-That KFRC comes back to FM. What they call oldies on the Bone or Alice,The Band or that type isn't what I heard everywhere in the 60's and 70's. It's like metalheads grew up to inherit big business from their conservative fathers and decided that old Motown,Phil Spector and the Righteous Brothers,70'S feel good like Disco or even Carpenters would be ignored. To just name a few of hundreds.
ReplyDeleteAll that great music relegated to low fi AM. Sad.
BTW,A fun game to play is: Take a shot of wiskey every time FP and Byrnes call each other "dude". Oh,man,your ripped by 9:45...dont drive!
