*49ers' color radio analyst, Tim Ryan: I've been hot and cold and now hot again. Ryan does know his football stuff, just listen to him and discover if you haven't already. My issues with Ryan is that he overdoes it, a lot. His "bro" use and over-the-top, "feels good, baby" distract from an othwerwise superb on-air work. Sometimes, Ryan, a former NFL player, seems as if he's right in the huddle. His pro football knowledge is top shelf, no denial. But when he's off the radio cuff and begins screaming, he loses me. Others too, I suspect.
KRON, amid a new, glossy news set, and a corporate owner in distress, is nonetheless trying to woo a BIG NAME talent to its news (and sports) team; if KRON can pull this off, I'll certainly watch more and I won't be alone...
As for who they're trying to snatch? I have spoken to the would-be invitee and was told not to say a word; supreme secrecy. Once it's a go (or not) I will tell you all before it becomes official. Or not.
*There might be no CAL basketball tonight because of virus issues (lots of sports are being cancelled) so KGO's John Rothmann might have a show after all from 6- 9PM, his normal time slot. As they say, stay tuned.
O.J. Simpson! On KRON! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteFrank Somerville as your main man and Gary Radnich on sports????
ReplyDeleteFrank and Marc from channel 2? That would be HUGE!!!!#

DeleteTim Ryan got obnoxious when they swapped out Ted Robinson for Greg Papa. Papa calls a game like everything is a personal slight against him when something doesn't go the 49ers way. Robinson was a true pro who did not put up with shit like that, but "Papa The Pirate, ARRRGH" cause he does sound like one, just clowns around and Ryan feels like he has to be a clown to fit in.
ReplyDeletePlease, when will the "bro" stuff go out of style? Ryan (and most of the guys using it these days) are way too old for a boardshorts and t-shirt image and can't quite pull it off. It sounds like valley-speak to me.
ReplyDeleteActually Jason Dumas is not good as a “sports anchor” but actually I have seen him do field reporting for news a few times he is pretty good actually...
ReplyDeleteHonestly..KGO 810 and the Cal Basketball games..I realize that is is a money deal..Lee Hammer shame on you...We John Rothman on Monday through Saturday...With Trump tactics and Covid..No we get Cal. Basketball..NO MORE CAL BASKETBALL!!!on kgo..And I am a Cal Graduate..Football with Joe Starkey is top notch...
