Shawn Estes, George Kontos and Hunter Pence Part of NBC Sports' Giants' Post-Game Show Have Great Hair But Nothing Else

THOSE POST-GAME SHOWS ON NBC SPORTS BAY AREA are BORING. Mostly because nobody says anything. It's a jock thing. They don't want to rip for fear of getting crap from the (Giants/A's) you name it.

Shawn Estes? Giants pitcher. One of the guys who appears on NBC pre and post-game shows. Estes is a good-looking man and probably why he's on the show a lot. Estes doesn't say anything of note which is standard operating procedure at NBC Bay Area. Another BORE: George Kontos, a former Giants relief pitcher whose main selling point is his hair. Kontos, another pretty boy, like Estes, says NOTHING of interest. He's set for life at NBC because they'd prefer it that way. And the Giants too, and yes, the A's.

Greg Papa, the host of these shows barked on and on and on about how great Kontos' hair is; it was semi-tongue-in-cheek, but Papa was right. Kontos doesn't say anything even remotely critical, therefore he's prime for the program. Which is good because I'm sure his hair cuts cost a fortune.

As a ballplayer, Hunter Pence is a great Giants person. He's damn colorful too and rode his moped to the park and said some wacky things. On TV, Pence is boring. He, like Estes and Kontos, don't want to be critical because they'd lose the crowd and piss off Larry Baer. Pence was overly flowery and fun-loving but hardly criticized the players. Papa thought he was great and awesome only the audience thought otherwise. One thing to note: Pence's hair was no match for Kontos.
