Head of Niner Broadcasting flew in Joe Fonzi to work the game. As usual Fonzi did a great job. All the nonsense and negative comments about Eric, Tim and Ted are preposterous. Starkey and Doctor York were close thus his position in the booth lasted TOO long. Those that are in place now are those that should be in place. <br /><br />Give credit to those in charge.

Perhaps his NFL channel took its toll. I agree with your position that Davis should be on national TV. He is better than Ryan from that perspective. Ryan would be better suited to radio. He is good on TV, but I think his skills are more radio-oriented, while Davis is a magnetic personality and would do well on Sunday or Monday Night Football, sans his NFL Channel gig, which I stopped watching once they dumbed it down (no fault of Davis'). Good column, again, Rich.

There are a lot of Niner fans up here. Maybe someone in the Niners' org could find a game affiliate up here. <br /><br />Considering how many TV analysts are garbage, Tim Ryan is very good. It's an upgrade, and I think that Davis will do better on TV. It's a potentially a kind of switch where everyone comes out better.Bob In Portlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969665109260881650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-68642713700522716232014-01-23T09:22:37.420-08:002014-01-23T09:22:37.420-08:00I prefer Eric Davis to Michael StrahanI prefer Eric Davis to Michael StrahanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-66303283273990392512014-01-23T07:51:00.332-08:002014-01-23T07:51:00.332-08:00Eric has a face for radio, Eric has a face for radio, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-12211142646449502262014-01-23T01:48:38.025-08:002014-01-23T01:48:38.025-08:00A no-brainer to be Eric's replacement.
