Fitzgerald: Horrible on radio--Decent on TV; Warriors PBP tonsil the wrath of fans

Understandably, Robert, Bob, Fitz, Rudy, Giggles, Fitzgerald is universally hated by a vast majority of the Bay Area's sports fans, mostly, Warriors' followers, who often, through Internet message boards and links, despise the PBP guy, whose act of smarminess and arrogance reek solid. There's no getting around the fact that Fitz will never ever have to worry about biting the hand that feeds him.

I myself, can't stand the guy. On radio, he comes off as an arrogant, cocky, nebbish shill for the Warriors, (among others)--his KNBR show with co-host, Rod Brooks, is a daily dose of two prima donnas who are never wrong and whose insipidness and less-than-flattering back and forth with the few callers dumb enough to rock their boat, often get ridiculed and belittled so profusely, you often feel sorry for them. Seriously.

Speaking of seriously...and get this? As bad as Fitz is on radio, I actually think he does a pretty good job on cable as the prime Comcast Warriors broadcast guy, paired with the cool color analyst, Jim Barnett. It's not spectacular, not even close to the late greats, Chick Hearn or Bill King, (by a long shot), but at least Fitzgerald is knowledgeable, knows his stuff, and can conduct a fairly professional, fluid, informed, less shilly broadcast. His cable act is in direct contrast to his radio show where the know-it-all Fitz is not that evident on Warriors' broadcasts.

Too bad.
