In an unrelated sexual topic, KNBR's morning boor, Larry Krueger inexplicably says to Kate Scott on Tuesday:
"Come out of the closet Kate...."
Krueger was late to this rodeo too. Maybe his brain is still fixated on Carson Palmer. What an asshole!
Kate Scott is gay. Everyone knows she's gay because she mentioned it and frequently alludes to it. It is sometimes joked about on the show. I find nothing particularly offensive or boorish about Larry Krueger or this comment.
ReplyDeleteJust another example of Rich gratuitously criticizing KNBR. Big surprise!
Larry Krueger should stay in the closet or any enclosed area. The guy definitely has a face for radio.
ReplyDeleteI get 238 's point..it wasn't an all out slur...but,at the same time,I think he was irked that she didn't agree with him on the Palmer to the Raiders trade. If they were the type of come on over and shoot the shit at my house friends, then nothing to it. But,I don't think they are, and its Krueger's way to go there when he shouldn't. He does have a fire-able history with H.R...and I don't mean home run.
ReplyDeleteleave to rich to not listen and pay attention to the bit that was clearly going on. Got any more "Byrnes is trying to black it up?" comments? out of touch, out of context, and out of relevance sums up this whole blog.
ReplyDeleteKrueger is allways saying stupid shit,but at least he has a personality,unlike lund who has none!
ReplyDeleteKrueger once said '' i am probably smoking weed'' and i don't even touch the stuff.
DeleteNot the smartest comment heard on KNBR.
ReplyDeleteThe point is I was driving when the threesome HehHehHeh...was reading to toss it to Kate for the way TOO many traffic reports (What is this 740 on the dial)
ReplyDeleteGLarry were talking about yea or ney about Palmer coming to the RaYDas...Raddy said yes...Larry says to Kate, what say you. She says I agree with Gary.
Bam: Larry says Come out of the closet Kate.
Regardless of what Observer said above at 238 = That is a Class Less thing to say.
Where is Felipe Alou, Bob Agnew, Tony Salvatore, Tony Rhein and Isabelle Lemon when we need them.
Would Hammer fire Larry K twice LOLOLOL
How is this "Class Less?" You don't expect irreverent banter on a sports radio talk show? Do you think it hurt Snow's feelings? Do you think it demeaned gay people? I don't.
ReplyDeleteGod, what an asshole. And I'll bet he gets a free pass on this, too. I don't know what anyone in the bay area sees in this lout. He is incapable of engaging his brain before he opens his mouth.
ReplyDeleteHow is this an offensive statement? People make jokes about coming out of the closet as a Dodgers fan if they live in the Bay Area, or coming out of the closet as a Raiders fan if they live in SF, and so on.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying this applies to all gay folks (I've been to a wedding of two gay friends for one thing), but this getting all hysterical about a phrase that is commonly used in other situations these days doesn't do the gay folks a bit of good in the perception department.
You don't hear straight people getting super offended that so many terms can't be used anymore w/o a snicker or smirk like "teabag" or "bear" or even just "gay". It's pretty fucked up that terms like that have been hijacked by the gay movement, but straight people aren't allowed to get even the slightest upset about it w/o being called "homophobic".
I'm not scared of any gay people. I don't mind gay people having the same rights as everyone else. I DO get sick of having to walk on eggshells in this society anymore for fear of offending the gay community unwittingly (there are so many things they—the community, not always individuals seem to get upset about). Especially when so many of them in the Bay Area, and especially SF, don't give a damn about whether they offend other. Even others who may actually be OK with the "normal" gay folks.
"God, what an asshole. And I'll bet he gets a free pass on this, too. I don't know what anyone in the bay area sees in this lout. He is incapable of engaging his brain before he opens his mouth."
ReplyDeleteRich Lieberman?
Kruger is a bore, but I heard his "closet" comment live on the radio, and didn't think twice about it. It sounded to me like he was just trying his usual "witty banter" (hah) routine with Gary and, just as usual, something he said fell down flat or came out wrong or just sounded stupid, etc.
ReplyDeleteI doubt he actually meant anything by it. He isn't sharp enough to actually pull off anything subtle and clever and cutting at the same time.
It's the old saw: "never attribute to malice what could just as easily be explained by stupidity"
I's sad to hear Krueger co-host with Gary, because he laughs at all of Gary's lame jokes, and ends up sounding like his little bitch-boy. And we all know about Larry's right-wing politics. This is a guy who was once asked on the air what he thought of the Patriot Act and his response was: 'What's the Patriot Act!" Whe the caller explained it, Larry said: "Bush is trying to protect Americans! I'm not a fan of Kate Scott either, but attacking her because she happens to be gay is really a low blow. What a dweeb!
ReplyDeleteget rid of krueger and bring back bruno as full time co-host with gary.
ReplyDeleteget a life you stupid liberal
ReplyDeleteCome on. Rich you are a PC Bay Area mush head. Good freak'n grief! Krueger's great. His comment a few years ago about some Giant's hitters was spot on too.
ReplyDeleteKate Scott adds nothing to murph & mac or Larry & Gary's shows. Her smug, smart ass comments are not necessary. She's the traffic & sports update person. With that, she talks waay too much and ruins the format of the shows. THERE I SAID IT!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the last post. Replacing Dan Dibly with Kate Scott was a terrible step down for the show. As soon as I hear Kate's voice I turn down the volume or change the channel. And her comments about her "wifey" are repulsive and offensive to any heterosexual person. Last time I checked, gay marriage was illegal in this state...so KNBR is participating in an illegal activity by allowing Scott to advocate such activity live on the air? I want my morning "man cave" to be all men and about sports and man talk...not some gay woman and her smug chatter. One time she said she missed a game the night before and couldn't comment about it because wifey wanted to watch some chick show. She should have been fired immediately for that. Both KNBR shows with her stink now and I have gone over to 95.7 "The Game" except when I have bad FM reception or during commercials. That show is so superior. Get her off the air!
ReplyDeleteChange the station if you don't like Kate Scott. I change the station as soon as Murph&Mac are done because I don't care for Gary or Larry. Gary & Krug are just plain rude. I prefer Kate to those two.
ReplyDeleteI think Kate Scott is married. Watching it live is alot better than the radio. They dont take things seriously. They are all laughing and you dont know that on the radio
ReplyDeletexxxxxx
ReplyDeleteKate Scott is awesome. Both shows are exponentially more interesting with her around.
ReplyDeleteTotally Agree!
DeleteThis post could ONLY BE the Great "Fake" Scott herself responding here?
DeleteShe's a Show Killer a Bit Killer and a complete zero on the entertainment scale! Just get a more talented and interesting lesbian and I'll be happy!
DeleteKate is a great addition to the show. Her private life should be a non-issue.
ReplyDeleteI love Kate Scotts comments--keeps that Idioit Gary on thew straight and narrow as he constantly wanders off talking about everybodys stupid job security etc
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately you're just a bit off the truth...YES Gary is an idiot agreed... but mostly for having Miss Lame Scott in there in the first place muddling things up each and every time shes says "anything!?"
DeleteAs well all of those commercials she's doing trying to disguise her voice by drop downs and speed ups are ridiculously irritating as well! The fool ...fools no one!
Gman actually has a lot to do with the careers of these young professionals. Wake up.
ReplyDeleteThe show was better with Dibley and Patrick
ReplyDeleteAll three are brilliant. End of story.
ReplyDeleteAlright Now Sports Fans...... this Kate "Lame-Fake" Scott is not only the worst addition to KNBR EVER in radio entertainment...she is a shame to the rhythm of sports talk radio!? Her irritating mumbles and out-of-synch interuptions on Murph and Mac and Gary and Larry have even the crickets sleeping on her bland inputs! Who is this woman sleeping with to get her on this classic station? Sounds like she stoned or on medsand all the while full of herself? Is Lee Hammer fulfilling some idiot demographic in her hire?!?! It's so obvious that her non-cerebral comments are forced onto the public by the Hosts as if to satisfy some stupid demographic so typical of sinking format! Thank goodness they don't let her mumble her uselessness during important guest interviews! Female presence on the radio is much needed and praised but by all means....lose this girl in the name of "talk radio and get somebody else!" Please confine her to traffic reports and lame commercials. She could be considered as the sole reason for the success of 95.7 THE GAME!
ReplyDeleteKate Scott is awful, I stopped listening after she joined. She's garbage.
