1. Jason Middleton --KGO Radio: a real A-grade moron. Pompous, egotistical and annoying fart who thinks his shit doesn't stink. Ronnnn's lapdog and newsroom snitch. Oh, and this: guy tries real hard with the ladies. One problem, Jaso, they think you're a big-time bore. Destined soon for Toledo. Has all the authenticity of a Brisbane strip mall.2. Jon Bristow-KGO Radio: Mr. "Pipes", the guy with the fake baritone voice and newsroom annoyance --also a ladies-man wannabee. The pipes earned him a trip to the morning show. That's the good news. Bad news? He has to work with the giggler.
3. Dennis O'Donnell: KPIX: a real phony. Smells to high heaven of mucho insincerity --a complete bore and residential sports hack. Even the Battery seagulls have less shit than this middle-aged Frankie Avalon wannabe. Grow a pair, pal! And while I'm at it, quit kissing up to the boss, jerk boy.
4. John Lund : The Game: A dark, overblown, mass human feces wasteland. No wonder all he can talk about on air is his penis. (Short story, by all accounts) --and, hey, bozo brain? Even Jason Barrett thiks you're a complete asshole. You're smelling Fresno any day now. Maybe it's time you hid the old Penthouse magazines too, schmuck.
5. All the white Irish boys at KNBR: too easy. Once Hammer is gone, you all will be washing cars in San Leandro.
6. Brian Copeland: KGO Radio: Another complete phony. Not a genuine funny man. Ronn thinks you're an asset for him because, well, you know why...on the other hand, you saved Byron Allen's career. The next time you fill in, maybe you can talk about ...race! Again...and again. And again!
7. Lee Housekeeper: The last time this SF PR guy was relevant, Jimmy Carter was president. Another small prick loser that kissed Herb Caen's ass only Herb wasn't impressed. Hey Lee, maybe you should try the Grocery Outlet seniors program in South City.
Yowsa! Pretty strong stuff here.
ReplyDeleteNo. 7 has one of the weirdest names around. His last name is really Doucheberg or something like that.
No. 5 should've been long gone from the radio waves. They're all a bunch of sophomoric pitchmen for KNBR's special interests.
No. 2 used to be the newsman for a small radio station in Concord. He should've stayed there.
BTW: Where's the bitch from the Chronicle?
8. Mutley. That asshole had the audacity to just lift his leg and pee. Anywhere he wanted. At any time.
ReplyDeleteHe'd fit right in on Market Street.
DeleteI'd also have listed Bob Fitzgerald and Rod Brooks, 12 - 4 on KNBR. No one since David Brenner laughs at his own jokes as much as Bob Fitzgerald. At least Brenner was funny sometimes.
ReplyDeleteRod (repeat something 5 times)Brooks laughs at his own stuff too.
DeleteBob Fitzgerald is probably the biggest asshole in Bay Area radio. Person above nailed it. He's obnoxious, conceited, not funny, and really not even very good doing Warriors games let alone KNBR. I doubt the ratings on his midday show are very strong.
ReplyDeleteYou can type in "Bob Fitzgerald bad" on Google and see multiple forums where people can't stand his play-by-play for the Warriors. Their was a post-game incident last year which exemplified Fitzgerald perfectly. ex PRO HOOPS player, Jim Barnett, complimented ex STANFORD HOOPS PLAYER Rosalyn Gold-Onwude's comments as being insightful to Greg Papa in the CSN studios. Fitzgerald turned to Barnett and asked in mock incredulity, "Roz said that?" Barnett turned to Fitzgerald with a momentary look of silent disgust and shame that "Fitz" would mock a co-worker like that. Fitzgerald has no shame so he didn't even notice.
ReplyDeleteYeah would mock a co-worker like that. He stole the job from the MUCH better Greg Papa
DeleteAbsolutely Fitzgerald is the worst for his smarmy condescension toward anybody but himself. He hates all people except "big" men athletes (who he tries to "curry" favor). He needs to be the smartest guy in the room but he's really just a poor pathetic Napoleon complex asshole.
DeleteFitzgerald's play by play is stellar compared to his KNBR show. At least in Warriors' games, he's only relaying the action of the stars on the court. On his KNBR show, he thinks he's the star.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a miserable industry to work in ... who would want to ... cutthroat ... no, thanks. See Radiohead, "Creep."
ReplyDeleteI for one don't appreciate the underhanded swipes at Brian Copeland, Rod Brooks, Byron Allen, and Vern Glenn. Over and over again, you seem to question their "blackness"- whatever that is. Just because these brothas can conjugate a verb and don't sprinkle their vocab with street vernacular, you joke about and compare them to each other in a not so subtle manner. Rag on them because you feel they suck. Hell, I can't stand Rod Brooks. I think he sucks on the radio as he cuts people off and seems to shun opposing view points-- but I will never get on him because he can enunciate and graduated from college. That's what he's SUPPOSED to do. I don't care for Brian Copeland either as a media person. His comedy is aight. His theatrical shows are pretty damn good but I can't get out of my mind how bad he was as the Man on the Street for KTVU a few years back. But again, because he talks a certain way, his blackness is in question ? C'mon man.
ReplyDeleteThe odd dichotomy is that people ( admittedly not you I don't think) will rag on the likes of the Seahawks Richard Sherman and call him 15 kinds of thugs. On the field, he plays like he's playing street football and talks much trash. Sherman is actually a Stanford grad who started grad school while at Stanford also... is actually an intelligent cat who knows how to play the game of code-switch. He's very well spoken when the situation calls for it (and actually has something of note to say) but can switch on the street when it's warranted. C'mon Rich.
Yeah, how could you forget that insufferable prick cock sucker Fitzgerald? He's got no talent. All he cares about is himself. He's a legend in his own mind. He's got a reputation around the NBA as an asshole. And he does everything to reinforce it.
ReplyDeleteFitz also used to brag about his hair on KNBR. Saw him on a Warrior telecast the other night. It appeared his hair was wavy -- waving goodbye!!
DeleteI think his hair is still there, it's just that his head has gotten so round now that there's not enough of it to go around.
DeleteThose Irish boys at KNBR also have the maturity of high schoolers.
ReplyDeleteThat character who is Ray Woodson's call-sceener is a real winner.
Intellect is not his strong suit.
Is that Ryan Covay? Yeah, the more he talks, the worse the show.
DeleteYou're nothing in this town if you haven't been called an asshole phony washed-up dickless hack bozo oxygen-wasting lard-ass fart-face loser suck-up or words to that effect by Lieberman at least twice.
ReplyDeleteJon Bristow is one of the nicest, least affected, most open people I've ever worked with.
ReplyDeleteNo question Fitz is far and away the biggest asshole in the Bay Area media. And that is saying something.
ReplyDeleteBiggest assholes in Bay Area media?
ReplyDeleteRonn
Fitz
Morgan
Lieberman
Nevius
Lowell
Saunders
Ashley
I hear Brian Copeland's daughter is working three jobs in Bay Area media. I definitely admire a hard worker, but I think that really shows the state of media today. My friend works with her and says she's good at her job, but most media want to hire part time workers so they don't have to pay benefits. Sad.
