Saw 'em play at Kesar, which I drove by yesterday with my wife, to get a whiff of my early childhood I barely remember. I don't care for Harbaugh nor do I care for our QB. I'd take Seattle's QB and coach any day over Harbaugh and our QB. Harbaugh is too emotional and it hurts us in officiating; and our QB can't learn what Russell Wilson has: stay in the pocket, then scramble. Don't scramble and then scramble. Russell Wilson has also learned to read and to go through his progressions, and that is why he can extend plays and threw a fourth-down TD against us in the NFC title game. Seattle is on the cutting edge of technology for its players in terms of health and training and other factors, like Bill Walsh and Eddie D and Carmen Policy once had for the Niners. Love Jed York. Can't stand Harbaugh. Once liked our QB. He lost our first Super Bowl and he lost it the same way he lost our NFC Championship game: same pass, same crummy receiver. And, yeah, the Seattle Richard Sherman was correct about Crabtree: he's mediocre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-61485459042706476762014-02-23T19:23:00.378-08:002014-02-23T19:23:00.378-08:00Hwy 10:19 anon, you got it wrong on the Roseboro/...Hwy 10:19 anon, you got it wrong on the Roseboro/Marichal fight. I was there and Roseboro DID ATTACK Marichal. He wanted Sandy Koufax to throw at Juan because Marichal had been bench jockeying and throwing at Dodger hitters earlier. But Sandy never threw at opposing players, so Roseboro zipped the ball past Marichal and nicked his ear. Juan turned around and barked at Roseboro and said: "Why did you do that!" and then Roseboro, who was two inches taller and 30 pounds heavier than Juan, grabbed him around the neck with one hand and cocked his other hand, getting ready to punch. Google pictures of the fight and you will see it clearly. That's when Marichal nailed Roseboro in the head with the bat. You then see the more popular pictures of Roseboro staggering to the ground and Marichal standing there with the bat poised over his head with two hands, as if he was going to take another whack at him. The actually hit on Roseboro wasn't even that hard. Had it been, the guy would have died. Years later, the two men became friends!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-14796936340839299902014-02-22T21:04:51.047-08:002014-02-22T21:04:51.047-08:00Say what you will about KNBR, but you can't d...Say what you will about KNBR, but you can't deny their long history, going back to the late 1980s as the 'Sports Leader.' 'The Game' is trying to give them some competition but they have little chance to make any kind of an impact in the ratings because 1.) Their signal is on a weak FM band, and 2.) They don't have the 'Big 3' (Giants, Warriors and Niners), on their station. KNBR has had plenty of terrific talent over the years and set the standard. A generation has grown up expecting to hear sports on their station while the 'Ticket' has only been around for a couple of years. Yes, perhaps KNBR is not quite what it used to be, but they have more pull now than ever since they carry the revitalized 49ers and Warriors, and carry the Giants who are coming off of two World Series Titles. They are most fortunate in that regard. The Ticket has some interesting talk shows, and they seem to go more for straight sports than the noise and nonsense you sometimes hear on KNBR, but again, who outside of the Bay Area has even heard of 'The Ticket?' They're always going to be like that guy who is standing in the middle of the room yelling: "look at me!" and only one or two people are even noticing. A pity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-25208807470032821362014-02-22T19:45:46.405-08:002014-02-22T19:45:46.405-08:00George's Super Bowl in 1994 was a one year bl...George's Super Bowl in 1994 was a one year blow out the cap and ruin the franchise for a decade move.

KNBR will not aggressively pursue stories that undermine their broadcast partners BUT they do report significant stories that are negative to their teams. <br /><br />KNBR talk shows were all over Aldon Smith and his DUI for example.<br /><br />There is a misconception, which Lieberman happily encourages, that it's wrong for a station to promote the teams that they broadcast. That's just plain wrong. The Giants are KNBR partners, KNBR flat out promotes the team and their broadcast of the team's games.<br /><br />Martie Lurie is a Giant guy, no question about about it, but he's not supposed to be an unbiased reporter. What, you expect he's supposed to be objective and not care whether the Giants win or the other guy's win?<br /><br />Lieberman likes to raise this phoney argument about KNBR's lack of objectivity because it's just another chance to bash local media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-79178914876229977122014-02-22T10:56:03.226-08:002014-02-22T10:56:03.226-08:00As has been stated on this blog before, Comcast pa...As has been stated on this blog before, Comcast pays for the rights to the shrill for all of the Bay Area's major sports teams (even the Earthquakes). They will not stir the pot. <br /><br />The Harbaugh story, though seemingly far fetched, has validity. Years ago, Don Shula went from Baltimore to Miami for draft picks. Most recently, Jon Gruden took off for Tampa Bay when the Bucs gave the Raiders some draft picks. It's not as dumbass as one would think.<br /><br />The handling of the Harbaugh situation is yet another reason why I don't watch any sports news cast on Comcast.
