Its the KNBR/Giants influence on Comcast that kills real sports journalism. And the proof is-they never break anything important. If anything, I think they kill any "insider" info if local teams are shy to have it known. Typical KNBR pro management, pro $$$ think.
7:10 p.m. is correct. "Insider" is a misnomer. However, there are many stupid people who really believe that CSN and KNBR have the inside scoop. The "insiders" are manipulated by the teams. If the sky is blue, it's not unless the team says so. It's the same old s+++, but a different day. And the lemmings are being led to sea.
Comcast Sports net's idea of having 'insiders' is a joke. They don't cover the local teams, but merely react to what the newspapers and internet are saying about the local teams. They consistently get beaten on the major stories, and they have on air faces that are were obscure, part time local on-air people (with the exception of Greg Papa) or mediocre out of town talents. They also fired a fine reporter, Matt Morrison, for an annoying, sniveling weasel who tries to be 'cool' (I think his name is John Henry Smith). Outside of Matt Steinmetz and Btree Hedican, their in studio hosts are bot very inspiring. And will someone please tell Henry what's his name to stop yelling when he's doing his announcing? It's very annoying!
More of "insiders" won't offend local teams with truth: Ann Killion has been calling Ben Rothlesburger a rapist for accusations he groped woman. The 49ers signed a real rapist in COX who drugged a woman. He was "aquitted"..not a "not guilty" mind you..just not proven to a certain degree. That woman became pregnant-and Cox said ne never had sex with her-.. she had an abortion,the fetus had COX DNA. Thats a %100 certainty. Ann wouldnt not say a word against him. We dont know the facts she said. But she knew the Big Ben facts? A DISGRACE.
This is precisely why I don't pay attention when you (Rich) or others here rip on KNBR: Because I don't listen to them. I quit listening a looong time ago.
I listen to ESPN on my satellite radio...or when at work, on my computer. Gimme Mike & Mike/The Herd/Van Pelt & Rusillo/Gottlieb/Schlereth & Hill/Freddy Coleman and all of their REAL insiders (Schefter, Mortensen, Clayton) any day of the week over the KNBR gang--which, come to think of it, I don't even know who is on KNBR anymore.

ReplyDeleteThere's "insiders" and then there's journalists (see Mark Purdy/Bill Neucomb).
