THE MORONIC Imbeciles who ran heavy onto the Warriors bandwagon should be ASHAMED of themselves. You pathetic people are supposed to be PROFESSIONALS! Most of you didn't know a Steph Curry from a Curry Indian food recipe.Worst Perpetrators: KRON and KTVU.
These miscreants have no shame. They parade onto the screen and act like a bunch of Laredo hillbillies --they probably don't realize that the viewers take offense to their lame self-promotion.
How do they feel now?
Put away the placards and t-shirts --the season is over and your bandwagon act has gone into the closet.
*Another complete bandwagon phony: Mike Mibach and his crew at Channel 2. I've never seen more garish behavior from a so-called "news" guy than I have with Mibach. A total, 100% shameless self-promoter.
This is what KTVU has turned into...just a pathetic mess. 
100 percent agreed, especially with KTVU. Spending large amounts of "news" time on it. The word shilling comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteDid we have this problem in your coveted Van Amburg days?
ReplyDeleteWhat is different now compared to then? You can figure it out.
When there's a Giants or A's home game, Roberta will announce predicted game time temps and instead of saying home team will say, "the good guys." You're a journalist - there are no good guys and bad guys, just home teams and visitor.
ReplyDeleteRoberta probably taking a cue from Ken Harrelson of the White Sox but it does sound kinda corny
DeleteHow do you call out TV for breaking their ankles trying to jump on the Warriors bandwagon without calling out the ass kissers at 95.7? They're not even the flagship for the Warriors, yet they've been doing post game call-in shows after every game this season. In what was a very thinly veiled attempt at luring the Warriors away from KNBR, 95.7 was on their knees sucking off the Warriors at every opportunity. If you thought the bandwagoning by local TV media was bad, you clearly didn't listen to 5 seconds of the dribble coming out of the mouths of the 95.7 talkers. And what about Ted Ramey? After signing a new deal, his show went from covering everything to Warriors apple bobbing 24/7.
ReplyDeleteLet me get this straight, you don't want a sports radio station covering a championship series in which a local team is playing in? You're a winner!

DeleteLike most people, you completely missed the point. The topic of Rich's post was about how the local media jumped hard onto the Warriors bandwagon. As this season progressed, no one bandwagon'd harder than the talentless twits at 95.7. Coverage is expected, but not to the point of over saturation where you can listen for 3 hours and hear 2 hours and 50 minutes of Warriors talk. There are other topics to discuss instead of talking about the same shit, ad nauseum. But as I said, it's an obvious ploy that 95.7 desperately wants to be in bed with the Warriors so why not start sucking them off at now at every chance?
As for ted Ramey, that poor guy has been ruined by the KNBR suits. His shows used to have a pleasant balance of giving attention to all teams, including the Earthquakes, colleges, and even the Sharks. Now he's on knees for the Warriors too. Know when to say when.
Yeah well,Just look at that photo of Rosemary and who's going to get mad with her?
ReplyDeleteNot me.
Shallow.
DeleteThis time I agree with Stan!
DeleteNever thought I would say that!
"The moronic imbeciles who ran heavy onto the Warriors bandwagon should be ASHAMED of themselves."
ReplyDeleteAfter everything that went down in the Finals including the very public lobbying for Dray's Game 5 suspension (series shifter) and the suspect officiating, media bandwagoners are the last thing to be disgusted by.
Where Radnich? Is he eating a turkey leg at a fair so he couldn't be in the pic? KTVU and KRON really stink.
ReplyDeleteIs there some contractual condition or clause, that no network news anchor is to have their face pic taken unless they are grinning ear to ear? Will a Poker Face, or heaven forbid, an actual scowl void their contractual obligations? Perhaps result in reduction of pay?
ReplyDeleteIf you look up the word homer in the dictionary
ReplyDeleteyou will find a picture of Roberta Gonzales.
The biggest front-runners in America are the Bay Area media.
ReplyDeleteThe worst.
Matched only by their fans. No major city in America has fair weather fans the likes of which exists in the Bay Area. Has anyone seen an old Giants or Warriors shirt on someone's back? Actually the blacks and latinos are the real fans for the most part.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they lost and always root against their teams. Even in LA when we lose we still care.
You hardly saw Giants caps and jerseys away from the park before the Giants won in 2010. When the Giants lost in '02, I figured there went my chance for the Giants to win one, but was glad I got to see a few with the '70s A's. I'm in two minds about this kinda phenomenon - as a guy for the last 20 years has told himself that this is the year I'm not going to get sucked in rooting for the Warriors, I always did. I was the only one watching the games at home and the only reason my kids knew the Warriors because their mascot, Thunder, showed up at their school each year. At the start of last season, in a team building session of about 40 people, we had to say who we'd want to have dinner with. I said, "Steph Curry, because it would make my daughter jealous." Almost the whole room asked, "Who?"Then last season hits - I finally pull out my Warriors baseball cap in pride, but it pales next to every other adult male and kids wearing Curry jerseys. I'm glad people get on board with the local teams, but Bay Area fans are notorious front runners and bandwagon jumpers.
DeleteI got so tired of hearing about basketball 24/7 that I set up a series of unnecessary root canals.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Claudine Wong so much more beautiful now that she smiles? Love to have a bottle of wine with her.
ReplyDeleteFucking Bay Area is full of bandwagoners. Where were all the car flags when the Warriors were winning 17 games a season?
ReplyDeleteYou never saw any Tyrone Hill or Vincent Askew jerseys on fans back then.
DeleteI've never quite understood this loyalty to "home teams". In high school sports, the home team consists of local players who live in your neighborhood coached by locals. You want the homeboys to win. In pro sports teams consists of players, almost none of whom grew up in the area, owned by business people who mostly don't live locally. They just play approximately half their games locally and expect that to be enough.
