*This is what galls me: reporters on scene covering the various fires in the state and near here: their penchant to act as if they're at the high school prom and not on the front line of a towering inferno. Yes, it's a tough job but they're professionals; (one would think) they're getting paid to REPORT! That's their job! DO YOUR JOB! Quit acting like some young mutt at the opening of an Aptos Safeway!
I'm hard? You don't know hard.
*When a pitcher throws at some other man's head, that's out of line and the pitcher should be suspended for 20 games. Period. End of story. Of course both Kruk and Kuip will defend such action if it's the Giants' as target and say nothing if it's the opposing team.
*Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper are paid by Larry Baer, it should be noted. Jon Miller and Dave Flemming too, it should be noted if you like propaganda news.
*JR Stone was at a fire on the San Mateo coast last night for a live stand-up for KGO (ABC7) and swore that his camera showed a "slight orange gleam" in the background. Viewers saw nothing. Stone must have said the same thing three times. I'll take his word for it but it was damn irritating.
*Pat Thurston filled in this (Wednesday) morning on KGO Radio for Nikki Medoro and did a great job interviewing various state fire officials and proving that you don't have to have a sexy voice to broadcast good radio.
*KRON goes through new personnel like a cat goes through milk.
*Krukow's holier-than-thou-act was last relevant about two decades ago. I respect his longevity but frankly, I'm disgusted at his so over-the-top HOMERISM, it never ceases to amaze me how much verbal glop he serves up.
*On the other hand, Duane Kuiper just seems totally BORED by everything. Dead air on Giants' TV and Kuiper yawning along.
*Kuiper sounds as if he's having a double colonoscopy at times. Maybe he is.
> Massively overrated; KTVU's uninspiring
ReplyDelete> Amber Lee.
Oh God, you got that right. She can rarely make it through her standup without stammering or sounding like she doesn't understanding what she's reporting on. She belongs in Fresno.
Kuiper. Dead air? Try to get him to make eye contact with Krukow or the camera, when on TV
ReplyDelete"you don't have to have a sexy voice to broadcast"
ReplyDeleteHmmm...perhaps not, but you should not have a voice that makes people want to fill their ears with cement mix.
Many of the Giants brainwashed fan base will hate this, but the Krukow/Kuiper show is overrated. Homers. Goof balls. The Giants capitalized on their brain damage by trying to get them nominated to the Baseball Hall of Fame a few years ago. Fortunately, it failed. They're not that good. It can go high and it can go deep, but they're not worth grabbing some pine, meat.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% on Krukow. But he's paid to be a homer deluxe. Kuiper is okay, has some nice antidotes. But he seems bored. They work for the Giants, so expected.
Delete"Absolutely" (Please make them stop saying absolutely!)
DeleteFrom a A's fan, couldn't agree anymore. Always confused why they get such high ratings. Meanwhile the two best announcers for the giants are on the radio with Fleming and Miller.
DeleteLook at all of the triggered little A's fans. How cute.
Delete11:06 AM - have fun last weekend smart ass?
DeleteTrue about Krukbabd Kuip, but both make more $ than Rich!
ReplyDeleteThe way the Giants have been playing lately, maybe Kuiper wishes he was having a double colonoscopy instead . . .
ReplyDeleteHow do you have a *double* colonoscopy?!?
DeleteI'm sorry Nikki Medoro does NOT have a sexy voice.
ReplyDeleteThat is unless you find Roseanne Barrs voice sexy. Then yes, yes she does.
Totally agreed, Nikki Medoro's voice is whiny, irritating and annoying. Sounds like she is lecturing children. Ouch.
DeleteOnly comment I can add (other than I ADORE VDLC ...) is that when I watch the OH-SO-FEW BB games on Dish TV, the "crowd" noises piss the EFF OUT OF ME, since there are OH-SO-OBVIOUSLY no-effing-body in the stands to be MAKING SUCH RACKET ... Fake Wrestling? Bruno SanMarino!! Pat ("...I'm a Mutha-Phuka) Patterson!! THE golden GODZ of "fake" wrestling still range HIGH AND MIGHTY above the utter BS that is this "alleged" Live Baseball season.

ReplyDeleteReally, Rich, trying to figure this out. What are you trying to say? I see the same reporting as always. I don't see anyone acting like they're at a prom, or the opening of a Safeway. (But you left out your usual Macy's cosmetics counter in Milpitas.) Not sure what you're smoking.
I just saw the cat run off when Rich made the KRON comparison, and the kitty isn't grabbing any health troubling pine any time soon, Meat. Kruk is extremely fortunate his health still allows him to broadcast. Is his condition playing with his mind that badly?
ReplyDeletewhen i see VDLC she reminds of a kid that has AFS. Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition in a child that results from alcohol exposure during the mother's pregnancy. Fetal alcohol syndrome causes brain damage and growth problems. The problems caused by fetal alcohol syndrome vary from child to child, but defects caused by fetal alcohol syndrome are not reversible. she exhibits all the signs and physical signs.
ReplyDeletePlease elaborate
DeleteWhere did you get your medical degree, Dr. Black Death 007?
DeleteNote that Frank Somerville is constantly reporting from the KTVU studio now because he no longer has a home to report from.
ReplyDeleteThe A's are garbage. Just like Oakland. Haven't won anything since 1989 yet the Giants have built a new stadium and won 3 World Series since then. Grow up Rich and learn a new tune.
ReplyDeleteFYI, the A's are at the top of the standings in the whole league while the mediocre giants are the worst in their division. Their fans whine because they can't stand to see where the A's are. Bash your team instead for being so mediocre. BTW, SF is very garbage-looking, too. You must not get out much.
Delete12:16 PM - hope you enjoyed last weekend, ha-ha-ha...
Delete> BTW, SF is very garbage-looking, too.
DeleteGod that is so true. I no longer even *drive through* SF and haven't been there as a destination point in five years. The last time I was I had to leave shortly after parking because a d̶r̶u̶g̶ ̶a̶d̶d̶i̶c̶t̶ homeless "disenfranchised minority"kept looking into the windows and circling the car after he thought I'd walked away. BTW, I wasn't in some ghetto area. It was near Davies Symphony Hall. I've also had to have struts fixed the last several times I went into the city because of the massive potholes I hit. Oakland has its problems, but they're nowhere near as big as SF.
