*Eric Byrnes is the front-runner for the KNBR "Sportsphone" host, (7-10PM) vacated by FP Santangelo, who has taken a job as color analyst for the Washington Nationals.
One other candidate who might be considered: Damon Bruce. Although I'd doubt Larry Baer would ok that, and Bruce seems to have settled in quite nicely at 1050 during the day.
*Speaking of Knibber, Steve Young, ex-Niner and current ESPN football analyst, who does a weekly twenty-minute show on "The Razor and Mr. T", (Ralph Barbieri and Tom Tolbert,) mysteriously missed the show on Wednesday.
Tolbert stated on the air that "Steve Young has 'defered' to appear on the air until tomorrow." To which Barbieri retorted, "Maybe he was listening to the radio show." Maybe Barbieri was right.
*Apple and its peripatetic CEO/co-fer, Steve Jobs got another ton of free pub this week from national and local media outlets. Jobs took another mysterious medical leave and speculation has already begun in earnest in the tabloids and beyond.
*I didn't know KUSF was that important--KFOX too. Now KDFC? Enough shock waves to jolt the Volvo crowd here.

Larry Baer likes his team announcers to be like car salesman doesnt he? Men who can look a microphone in the eye,and lie without a blink.
ReplyDeleteEric Byrnes is another dummy who lives large because of what he made as a pro athlete,and his views of the world are also equally in a fantasy world of easy answers.
I cant think of a worse sports host. And that makes him the perfect Lee "Dick Cheney" Hammer employee. He also would keep bigot Lee Hammers record of only hiring caucasian hosts perfect. How or why the local people of color writers like Poole or Kawakami keep their mouths shut only shows what social cowards they are. Sell outs for those KNBR appearances to keep coming. Despicable.
The "Volvo crowd?"
ReplyDeletePretty snarky, I must say.
Eric Byrnes would be a terrible hire. He was awful doing the College baseball regionals a few yrs back and because he and FP both live / lived on the Coast should not be enough of a reason. Good lord where is Salvatore and Agnew when we need them now.
