Lowell Cohn Gets Heat from Pro Football Talk over Colin Kaepernick Posts; KNBR's Bruce Then Unloads on Cohn

Lowell Cohn/Santa Rosa Press-Democrat
 I like Lowell Cohn.


He writes bold, provocative and non, tow-the-line company business which given today's stale and mostly inside press-box scribbler silliness, is both compelling and refreshing, such as his controversial recent pieces on 49ers QB, Colin Kaepernick.


In Thursday's Pro Football Talk, they took Cohn to task for his takes on Kap; pieces that were equally loathed by his mom. (Duh!).


Naturally, one other Cohn critic got into the PFT argument, KNBR 1050 tonsil, Damon Bruce.


Perhaps this is the reason Bruce pounced on Lowell.


By the way, Damon, your Brooklyn accent is not very good but entertaining nonetheless. Remember this edict: brevity is the soul of wit too.


Ladies and gentlemen: I do believe these two men don't like each other.

Once Again, CSNBA "Insiders", Chronicle, KNBR, Late to Harbaugh-to-Browns Reports

 So, where were the Insiders? Missed, again!

We will never know for sure if Jim Harbaugh was actually headed to the NFL's version of hell, the Cleveland Browns, but when multiple respected sites like this one, for example, posted it first, you have to read and take notice.

And yes, these guys too. OK, some people thought the report was ludicrous. They were in the minority.

Where was Comcast? Matt Maiocco, their 49ers "Insider" was no where to be seen. I like Matt but like his Giants counterpart, Andy Baggarly, they do a lot of waving but rarely break any stories like the Browns doozy. And yes, all the parties involved are in full denial but like Lowell Cohn, I think there's ample meat there to be chewed.

More to the point, Comcast wants us to believe they're all over the local teams with mucho exclusives and news only their guys have and presumably, we all get to munch on. Nope. Not even a whiff. Worse yet, and again, I'm going with the notion that the story has legs, Dave Feldman, one of Comcast' chief anchor is a good buddy of Harbaugh. You'd figure Feldman would have known about this one way or another, hello?


Oh, KNBR, what were they doing? How about talking about the weather. I swear to God. You'd think the bleeder would be all over this, but noooooo.

Nada.
