Radnich Love Letters to 415 Media



Gary, the interns have been e-mailing once again saying you've began saying sweet-nothings about me. Hammer and Bungey aren't going to like that even though you can't contain yourself--hey, I know, it's addictive, even for you, a guy who has disdain for those damn bloggers.

Really, Gary, I appreciate the subtle plugs, but seriously, we have to stop meeting like this. You made a point of telling the folks out in radio land that I "wanted a job"--you couldn't help me, but that "I was a nice guy."

Ahh, how sweet of you. Really, Gair, that was some time ago. That was when you mattered. You were Joe Montana back then--now you're Steve DeBerg holding the clipboard for Elvis Grbac.

Funny how things change in life. I remember the time that everyone in town wanted to shine your shoes. You were the toast of Van Ness. The headliner. Who'd have thunk you're now reduced to interaction with the betting fool and an Evita wannabee.

Being the upstanding guy that I am, you still every now and then make me chuckle. I miss the solo interviews. Still marvel at the Jim Brown and Larry King phoners. (Who was responsible for that?) Did you get a Christmas card from Bob Agnew and Salvadore? Just askin.

  1. After 38 years here-more or less- When Jacky the weather woman(who now suddenly covers up niplage in the chill KRON studios) asked him for two Shark tickets he told her on air he couldn't get them.How far he has fallen...lol.
    That whole "at will" employment must feel like eggshells for Radnich..Bently payments looming. Might not have been a good time to get a "bucket list " car huh Raddy?

  2. Rich or anybody: Today the DoucheBag that is the Tenderloins finest Patrick Connor ragged on the Stanford Cardinal in the NIT beating Maryland but went all out to trash the attractiveness of the Stanford Cheerleaders and their counterparts.

    This ScumBall must wash Hammers cars. His 430am walks through the Loin must not draw too much attention because Connor fits right in with all the other elements around there.

    His sweaty Twitter Pic is pretty spot on. Might be Ralphs biological kid from RB's sexual freedom days in Hawaii.

  5. gary's in his 60s, OF COURSE he's lost his fastball and is winding down. by all means, he's had a GREAT career that most anyone in the field of sports broadcast journalism would KILL for. why do you feel the need to relentlessly pile on and kick him while he's down? jealousy doesn't suit you, mr. lieberman.

  6. Richie...I don't know if your readers are aware of your long history/relationship/strange friendship with 'The Gare.'
    It certainly qualifies as a bizarre one, as I understand that you two used to get along so well.

    Now when you talk about Gary these days, everything is dripping is sarcasm and vitriol. I'm curious if there was any one thing that began to sour you on Gary, and why he has become such a favorite whipping boy for your site?

    There's no question that Gary leaves himself open to
    criticism from a lot of listeners as well as other people in the industry, but again, it doesn't explain your constant obsession with the guy, and the need to do a post about him at least once a week. What's going on here?

    Just sayin'!

    1. I don't know anything about the history but Rich's incessant rants sound like bitter, jealous, obsession.

      Feels like the problem is with Rich, not Radnich!

  7. The pic looks like Fat Boy is pretty much constipated. A good dump makes a body goof.

  8. Does anyone else feel when KRON Gary is doing his comedy routine with Pam and the weathergirl, the ladies are thinking:

    "Hey pal, it's 11:22 PM and we don't feel like forcing smiles to your lame attempts at humor. Finish your damn segment so we can go home."

  9. Sad sack Fatsnitch is fun to kick around while he is down if you have followed his career. He has stabbed lots of people in the back over the years. Keep up the good work Rich and stop censoring comments complimentary of Jackie Bennett's rack....

  10. Gotta agree with 3:35. And Gary's still got his sharpest stuff on the big interviews, no question.

  11. I see the morons are on the loose here.

    If you think Radnich is a reputable sports media source, you've all gone daft.

    Bravo to Mr. Lieberman for taking this shrill to task. Radnich rarely, if at all, attends local sporting events. He has Vern Glenn to do his dirty work. Not that attending games makes you knowledgeable, but it gives you some credibility. I guess he gets his sports news from GOOD places...hopefully not Bombcast.

    He's just a "personality" -- the quintessential talking head. He shows up, spouts off, pretends he's an expert and leaves. It's just a waste of 90 seconds or two minutes or how ever much time he gets to blow steam. The banter with Pam Moore and Jacqueline Bennett is a waste. Did the consultant say to do that? Wait a minute, since it's KRON maybe they got an intern to give them an idea or a half of one.

    The sad part is: many people think he's the bomb. "Well, Gary said on his show today" is a mantra heard more often than it should be. Frankly, who gives a rat's a**? Who died and left him holding the bag of gold? He's an expert...at nothing. Did he stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

    Like Ronn Lowenstein, he's served his purpose. His time has past. It's people like RATnich who give me yet another reason to get my sports elsewhere. Thank God DirecTV has the sports package. I'll watch Boomer Esiason and his partner on MSG in the morning. Who needs RaDIPnich?

    That's the truth, bud. Hurts, doesn't it? Go send your $10/hr part-timers after Mr. Lieberman. Or have the interns earn their college credits by being butt kissers and have them toss rose petals along the hallway as you walk from your office to the studio. They do need something to do.

    Get straight listeners and viewers. Like the guy bellowed in "Network," "I'm mad as hell and I can't take it anymore." That's how you should feel about the sports programming in the nation's No. 4 media market.

    Have a nice day!

    1. Wow. You had me until you dropped the name Boomer Esiason. Listen to Marty Lurie.

  12. Ever since KNBR went for less content and far more commercial time,Radnichs routines get amplified. It seems like before every commercial break (every 10 min.) he makes a joke..and the camera fades with RADNICH in a full grin,pleased with himself..and like clockwork he even does the "I just realized,that quip was even FUNNIER then I first thought!"..and chuckles at his own comic genius. Every single fucking time.
    And that cutesy grin? Gary saw too many WC Fields movies(or Lou Costello)..his whole mass of blubber shakes.
    EVERY fucking time....

  13. One more.. Gary Radnich has said-"I love Larry Krueger" 2,666 times. How many time he's said he loves his wife?..0. Just reporting the facts mamm.

  14. wow talk about hate, you guys act like you have to listen to him or watch him.

  15. I've criticized Radnich before (not that "nobody cares") but this seems like a personal issue between Rich and Gary. Yes, Gary can be annoying, boorish, and an egotistical loudmouth, but he still draws listeners and he has a history of success. That's not by accident. Radnich's key to success: he needs to tone it down, and keep the practice of overtalking his co-hosts and callers in check. He can be entertaining, he just needs to be judicial with his schtick. I believe Krueger and Kate are keeping him accountable, checking his behavior, so to speak. Its not perfect, but its working. Radnich is also refreshingly honest, and doesn't suck up to the local teams, specifically, the ones that KNBR markets (hello Giants, Warriors). I just wish he wouldn't be so lazy with his sports knowledge, and stop falling back on the old Vegas, Beyonce, Alicia schtick.

  16. If Gary was a women sportcaster he would of been fired 15 years ago, with the 100 pound weight gain, but he is a good old boy ass kisser to management. Bitter white guy, with very little talent.Next to Krueger he sounds like a moron with his small knowledge of sports.

  17. Enough talk about Radnich! The more times you post about him, the more people talk about him, and the longer we'll have to be subject to his tired act on the radio and TV. Leave the guy alone and let him fade away in his sunset years. He can take comfort in the fact that he was at one time, quite popular. These days? NOT!

  18. Gary should consider himself very lucky,when he became successful, their was very little competition, he was a big fish in a small pond, if he was 20 to 30 years younger in today's market, he would not of made it. Now he looks like Shamu and drowning with bitterness. Maybe instead of saying Free Willy we should say Free Gary and let him retire in South Fla, where he can play bingo, shuffleboard, go to early matinee's and drool. Ofcourse he will be very happy going to those early bird specials and all you can eat buffets looking at his blown up face and weight gain.

  19. This guy wouldn't last 2 weeks in LA & I'm a native of the SF Bay Area. Spent 20 years in SoCal and at just about every home Dodgers or Angels game you see live reports by the major LA stations' No. 1 sports anchor during the week nights they are home.

    I don't get it with KRON. This guy is one big boring soul. People are starting to feeling for this boob.
