Sal could have milked his free-agency a tad, ever sp gently, but he remained at KTVU because he likes stability and The Firm was interested in bringing him back, albeit with virtually no raise, but in today's world, that's OK. Sal has a family and Bay Area roots.
I'm sure he can live on his $200K yearly salary give or take a few fender-benders on 880.
*Why Gasia Mikaelian insists on being overly chatty is beyond me. She just talks and talks. The pathetic giggle, which is ultra-phony doesn't help.Somebody, please, tell her to calm down, Taylor, que the orchestra:
*Anatomy of a nothing burger: KNBR and its insipid hosts MILKED the Nick Bosa non-story/holdout-- it was apparent to anyone with a quarter brain, Bosa would soon be getting back to the 49ers after winning the lottery; only a few extra millions was to be negotiated and Bosa's agent worked the deal right for his client.
I think the 49ers are going to be reaping some karma here. I don't wish it upon anyone, but it wouldn't surprise me if Bosa goes down to injury early in the season. Shanahan and Lynch? Just a feeling things are not going to go well for them.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that always happen with big contracts? The contracts get signed, and then the player gets injured three games into the season.
DeleteHave you seen Bosa? He's in better shape than most players at the peak of their career. I'd worry about Purty instead. He's only played a handful of games and now he has the added pressure of truly being the #1 QB, and Shanahan/Lynch desperately needs him to play well, or they'll be forever reminded of the bust signing of Lance.
DeleteBesides the contract money Bosa gets to only wear a red cap and Beyonce music is prohibited in the clubhouse.
Delete@1:08 You are right on, I remembered when 49ers gave kapperdink a huge contract based on one season and I said "No, no, don't do that!" Almost everytime something like that happens "bad luck or bad karma almost always follows teams "rewarding" on one good season, too quick to pull the trigger almost always produces Narcissistic personalities and often don't bode well
DeleteSad news about Sal Castaneda. I was hopeful that his days at KTVU were numbered. Sigh.
ReplyDelete@12:22 Please GOFY, he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, seems like you're a loner
DeleteAgreed 12:22. I do not (nor I have ever) seen the charm there - just the weird superiority complex.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like you just look for things to criticize KNBR about. The Bosa contract situation was big (sports) news nationally. It was talked about probably just as much the 95.7 as it was on KNBR. Maybe a little more on KNBR because they are the 49ers flagship station so their audience wants 49ers news. If they didn't talk a lot about it, there would be complaints that they are ignoring such a big story for the team whose games they carry. Let's say the Warriors were in contract negotiations with Curry, and it came down to the wire if he was going to sign in time to start the season. That would be huge news and talked about constantly on local sports talk. The Bosa situation deserved the attention it got.
ReplyDeleteNot just KNBR. Criticizing everything is Lieberman’s shtick.
DeleteKNBR is America’s #1 Dairy Farm. They milk the hell out of long dried teats, and in the process expose themselves as being the long drained half-wits they truly are. That’s not sports radio - it is noise between erectile dysfunction and Kars4Kidz commercials. Shout Out lame blather
ReplyDeleteAgain with the Gasia knocks. I don't get it, what's not to like? She's attractive, and she reads the news. She giggles; so? There are certainly worse places to land in morning (hello, building a better bay area)...
ReplyDeleteShe asks DUMB questions in interviews. Try that.
DeleteAnd once she asked a shockingly inappropriate question. Talking to London Breed after the recall vote on Chesea Boudin, she asked Breed on live TV how she voted. Breed was taken aback and so was I. That's none of your damned business, giggles. If the ND had a backbone she would have suspended Gassy a week without pay.
Gasia needs to be the center of attention, simple as that. She can’t resist . She doesn’t care how obnoxious she needs to be, who she annoys, or how much she has to debase herself, as long as the spotlights on her she’s good.
ReplyDelete12:22, Me too. WTF is wrong with KTVU? They need to find someone less creepy and more competent.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s “creepy” about Sal? Stop spewing the same stale, hollow talking points and do better.
DeleteTell me one instance of Sal saying or doing anything creepy. I’ll wait.
DeleteSal's been on ktvu for nearly 30 years. There hasn't been one single report of inappropriate conduct, whether sexual harassment, creepiness, or anything else. Leave him alone. He's a good guy.
DeleteSay it ain't so. They're giving Creepy Castaneda an extension? He belongs on the radio.
ReplyDeleteGotta agree that Gasia is too chatty. When she sticks to the news, she's very good, but when she goes off topic, it feels like she's better suited for a talk show like The View.
ReplyDelete"It's not official yet, but soon to be: Sal Castaneda will sign a new contract extension with KTVU to do traffic and assorted other goodies for another three years or so."
ReplyDeleteIn other news, my toast just popped.
Gasia’s problem isn’t that she’s too chatty, it’s that she’s too opinionated and feels the need to express every single one of her opinions on air.
ReplyDeleteI agree she is a motor mouth and definitely wants to be the center of attention. Attractive? Far from, unless you like women that have a 5 o'clock shadow
ReplyDelete5 o’clock shadow AND hairy pits and hairy legs.
DeleteAll the kids in Cotati are kicking it with the new KJZY - 93.7 - in Sebastapol - while not Hardly Striictly JAZZY it does give a feeling of OH-SO-SOPHISTICATED while they sip their Cosmo through a straw. Turn the bass ALLLLL the way up on your C. Crane SE2 to enjoy...
ReplyDeleteKids are allowed to consume Cosmos???? Seriously, ALL the kids listen???
DeleteAll you that are against Gasia please GFYS and hoping "It does reach" dickheads
ReplyDeleteGasia is a yenta AND a tonta.
ReplyDeleteTonta? That’s Spanish for a stupid dumbass woman.
DeleteBut just look at her tits!!!
DeleteSal is the boringiest guy on TV,he has no charisma,no energy,he's dull,he tells bad jokes,he thinks he's an expert on sports,he hasn't had a decent shave in 30 years,and he looks like a poor man's Mr peepers!
ReplyDeleteSal ain't nothing without Big Rick.
ReplyDeleteWho big Rick?
DeleteI like both Sal and Gasia, they are regular old schmucks, just like the rest of us. Sal’s beard was long ago decided by genes, and Gasia has teen aged boys who likely drive her nuts when she’s home. I did like her adoration of SF OPERA, which if you are not aware is a world class organization.
ReplyDeleteThese folks aren’t perfect, but who cares? They’re human, and they seem to care about our region.
Give em a break
Rich does he has no life selling? used cars and likes to belittle others aka cosmetic lady in San Jose?
DeleteJeez, how much can you gab about a key player finally signing a contract getting what he wants. The conversations stray from that to everything great about him all day long. No doubt those blabber mouth KNBR hosts here defending their nauseating tributes on the guy. Sounded like Murph kissing Buster Posey’s ass all day long.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t be surprised if Murph’s face and lips is permanently stained brown from all posey ass kissing. It was absolutely nauseating culminating in the foreward that Murph wrote for Posey’s ridiculously overpriced photo book
DeleteThis just in: Murph’s lips ARE stained from lip-locking Posey’s rectum, says our intrepid reporter cruising the comedy clubs, adamo copelandio.
DeleteBREAKING NEWS: Murph has announced he'll be leaving his wife and kids to move to the backwoods of Georgia to be Buster Posey's full-time ass-wiper.
DeleteSal has a contract, but Dan Ashley doesn't????
ReplyDeleteWhy does Gasia always wear long sleeves? Deformed?
ReplyDeleteGasia is pretty good-looking. I don't know her marital status...but she would be my ideal dinner-date: Brunette...pretty...funny...can talk about anything. I recall seeing wide-shots of her--and it appears she also has a ROCKIN' bod! My dream woman!
ReplyDeletedon't know if sal is creepy or not but one thing for sure is he got his hood pass revoked a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteSal an OG city boy from Riordan. His hood pass ain't never being revoked.
DeleteSkirt chaser Sal is a total creep. He loves the company of younger ladies (even now). Can’t watch because of him.
ReplyDeleteSal 100% is a creep. Don’t be fooled by that goofy face. He does love the company of young ladies. Just ask his wife even she knows. Get him off the air!
