*Darya Folsom/KRON: She's no longer just a sad prima donna; she's become a daily embarrassment --whether eating bananas in a suggestive manner or acting like a buffoon; her mugging; how she gushes like a high-school cheerleader; if KRON wants to win back the many viewers it has lost, Folsom's asinine behavior doesn't help.
*Reggie Aqui/KGO-TV: I used to think this repulsive yutz couldn't get any worse; I was wrong. Aqu's act is getting worser. Says who? His co-workers, especially the hard-working people at ABC7 who can't stand this putz, with his tiresome showboating, on-air dickery, and general, "hey, folks, look at me!". Hey, Reggie? You're a worthless fool who somehow convinced clown Burton to hire you. Why? Nobody knows but seriously, dude, just go away.
*Jan Wahl/KCBS: Her movie reviews are a farce. She talks like a breathless, third-grade, nursery school teacher on the last days of a period. If Wahl were anymore gruesome and annoying, people would begin to consider harming themselves --Wahl's act is worse than a night out with pygmy women in heat.
*Jana Katsuyama/KTVU: Since when did Fox2 think this mindless, soulless, insipid woman was worthy of given the opening story? Katsuyama is not only BORING, she's BAD boring. And a lightweight to boot.
*Allen Martin/KPIX: An arrogant, conceited, ego maniacal brunt with all the charm and wonder of a Pleasanton Dennys. If Martin had any less charisma he'd be a star on CSPAN4. Why KPIX thinks this mutant is good for its news is beyond me. Maybe Martin could read the obituaries on air. Like almost everyone else at PIX, Martin is boring. He also looks like he's got a stick up his ass every day. Please, Allen, get a double shot of scotch --something, you're beginning to make me worry. By the way, the last time Martin laughed on air, Jimmy Carter was president.
*Brian Copeland/KGO Radio: Copeland, KGO's one-trick pony and Ronnnn Owen's ass-kisser, used to be relevant --when? I don't know. Even at albatross KGO, where another new format is rumored to be on the back burner, Copeland is an utter, predictable, BORE. People kiss his butt because, well, you know why. Speaking of ass-kissing, Copeland used to blather on and on about corporate malfeasance and illegality --something his current employer practices every day only Brian apparently didn't get the memo. Maybe he was too busy lining up jobs for his kids.
*Fallon Smith/NBC Sports Bay Area: three words: how and why? This no-talent, squeaky-voiced yenta would be an embarrassment in Akron. But the people at Comcast think she's a star. Yeah, for a bunch of horny teenage guys in Concord.
*Ahmed Fareed/NBC Sports Bay Area: could someone tell me why this guy is on the air? Is it, uh, because he's charming and funny? No and No. Is it because Comcast wanted something different, unusual, I -don't -know, something creative, because Fareed lacks all of the latter. And if he keeps shuffling papers and bobbing his head on the desk after every Giants post-game show, I'm going to vomit. Call the authorities.
*John Lund/KNBR: Lund was a Justin Wittmayer hire; he's the Cumulus Market Mgr. in town. The same guy that's one-half responsible for the continued carnage called KGO. Lund is a complete joke who thinks talking about his dick every other day is somehow genius. Maybe he should talk about how he convinced Twittmayer to employ him, god is KNBR so baaaad.
*Melissa Caen/KPIX: Ok, I get why Caen is on PIX because she's pretty and toothy and wholesome-looking and all that which is all fine and dandy if Caen knew just a few things about her beat: politics. Instead, we get a healthy dose of this airhead's sweet nothings almost every day. She's about as savvy as a Gilroy strip mall and has all the on-air magic as that of bees in heat. Otherwise, she's just fine.*Melanie Woodrow/KGO: Another woman who looks and acts skittish and uncomfortable on air. That's the only thing positive I can say about this woman.
*Amy G/SF Giants Cable: If this were twenty years ago and all things being equal, seriously, Herb Caen would have had a field day with this no-talent yenta with all the warmth of a Petaluma 7/11. But yeah, I get it, Larry Baer's personal good-luck charm that isn't a former KNBR producer.
You hit it right on the head, Dick. Good work. So true about everyone. A bunch of frauds. All of them.
ReplyDeleteFunny, the Pleasanton Denny's went out of business months ago. foreshadowing for Allen? Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI confirm what 1:51 said about Pleasanton closing its Dennys months ago. But there's a Chic-Fil-A there now.
DeleteI thought Fallon Smith was moving onto another job out of the area.
And Strike Three? The Giants may end up losing 100. Lockstep Larry can't use the Good Luck Charm excuse anymore on the inane Amy G. That only works when listening to the King of Rock n Roll, because Elvis sang a great song about Good Luck Charm. This, of course, is the exact opposite, as even my Giants fan relatives have been saying since the middle of the Title run in 2012.

ReplyDeleteI guess Fallon isn't dark enough for you.
2:34: It's not the color. It's the voice. Even staff and fans at the Warriors Championship Parade along Lake Merritt in June were covering their ears, turning away, or completely blocking out NBCSBA when Fallon's voice boomed. I felt sorry for all those people, then she shut up, and we had the concluding ceremony and speeches in front of Kaiser Center. The title and the joy on many an Eastbay face more than offset the high squeak voice.
DeleteI thought you said Fallon "Minnie Mouse on Helium" Smith was leaving the area? Can't come soon enough. And can she take Amy Gee I Suck But Somehow Still Have A Job with her?
ReplyDeleteThe Giants are 55 and 87, and they have a shot at the worst record in their 135 year history. At this point in the season, they are 38 games out of first place. Seems the Amy G good luck charm has been exhausted. Seeing and hearing her act over the years, my patience was exhausted long ago.
ReplyDelete"Good luck charm" is a Rich thing. He hates everything about the Giants.
DeleteDarya Folsom and Reggie Aqui with the other girl, MAIN MAIN REASON I boycott KRON 4 morning news and KGO morning news and their station over promoting their staffs every hour with the same old ads. Darya, I tuned in two days ago in need of traffic and weather update when the 9 give up on these updates focusing on gossip gossip. OMG, Darya, no wonder KRON 4 news is so bad and need to share a building with KGO 7. Reggie, only SF will hire him as a main anchor and a main support in the Castro District. Try going down some Republican state, good luck. I don't have to say "why", just google Reggie profile and life online and you got an answer "why". The only "why" right now is I hope the lady controlling and hiring these lousy morning reporters (I must give strong credit to Jessica Castro who deserve more than a special reporter) and facing a legal issue right now gets let go and someone will wake up rehiring better professional reporters.
ReplyDeleteFallon has an amazing ass!
ReplyDeleteFallon is an ass.
DeleteMelanie Woodrow always has that deer in the headlights look.
ReplyDeleteNever seen a horse eat a banana. She should give it to Reggie.
ReplyDeleteI like your website Rich, but please;
ReplyDeleteLEAVE OUR JAN ALONE!!
Everybody I know loves her!
Amy G is simply a Giants propagandist and she's not very good at it, she needs to go...
ReplyDeleteI find Amy G's voice more irritating than Fallon's. But Jan Wahl retired the category when she first uttered a syllable on KNBR 30 years ago.
DeleteRich you are SO funny!! Jan Wahl "She talks like a breathless, third-grade, nursery school teacher on the last days of a period" Snap's! That's her.
ReplyDeleteGeez I must not watch local sports, what's a Fallon Smith?
Amy G. I'm sorry I refuse to watch her.
The worst of all the above is Lund. J-twitt and the new guy Crowe are clueless and we see knbr falling likely into the abyss that kgo finds itself. Lund is a fraud. He knows he is and sounds and behaves as if he hopes no one out there will catch on. Too late Lady Lundy. Just end our misery and go back to your backwater Utah stomping ground.
ReplyDeleteWarriors Roz or Giants Amy G? ...Let's see one actually played the game, the other went to her kids little league games . bye bye Amy bye bye
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance that Jaime Syre would return to NBC Sports BA? She is a legit sports person and far better than Fallon, Feldman or Fareed?
ReplyDelete@7:45
ReplyDelete"Ros"--as she's known--is no longer with the Warriors.
Say it ain't so!NOOOOOO!!!!
DeleteI've caught very little of Melissa Caen's act on TV but she seemed pretty up on the political scene as a regular Commonwealth Club panelist and in her tenure as an Ex columnist during the Newsom era in SF.
ReplyDeleteI would add Michael Urban to this list.He is an annyoing know it all insufferable self promoter.

ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for Darya Folsom there would be no Kron4. Her bright gorgeous personality and smile is one of a kind. Love Darya
