Sal Castaneda Closes in on KTVU Extension; The Chatty Gasia Mikaelian Needs to Calm Down; KNBR Milks Nick Bosa Story

FRIDAY ROUND-UP...

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.

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.

  1. 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.

    1. Doesn't that always happen with big contracts? The contracts get signed, and then the player gets injured three games into the season.

    2. Have 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.

    3. Besides the contract money Bosa gets to only wear a red cap and Beyonce music is prohibited in the clubhouse.

    4. @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

  2. Sad news about Sal Castaneda. I was hopeful that his days at KTVU were numbered. Sigh.

  3. Agreed 12:22. I do not (nor I have ever) seen the charm there - just the weird superiority complex.

  4. It 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.

    1. Not just KNBR. Criticizing everything is Lieberman’s shtick.

  5. KNBR 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

  6. Again 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)...

    1. She asks DUMB questions in interviews. Try that.

      And 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 12:22, Me too. WTF is wrong with KTVU? They need to find someone less creepy and more competent.

    1. What’s “creepy” about Sal? Stop spewing the same stale, hollow talking points and do better.

    2. Tell me one instance of Sal saying or doing anything creepy. I’ll wait.

    3. Sal'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.

  9. Say it ain't so. They're giving Creepy Castaneda an extension? He belongs on the radio.

  10. Gotta 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.

  11. "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."

    In other news, my toast just popped.

  12. 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.

  13. I 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

    1. 5 o’clock shadow AND hairy pits and hairy legs.

  17. Sal 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!

  18. Sal ain't nothing without Big Rick.

  19. I 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.
    These folks aren’t perfect, but who cares? They’re human, and they seem to care about our region.

  20. Jeez, 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.

    1. I 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

    2. This just in: Murph’s lips ARE stained from lip-locking Posey’s rectum, says our intrepid reporter cruising the comedy clubs, adamo copelandio.

  22. Why does Gasia always wear long sleeves? Deformed?

  23. Gasia 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!

  25. Skirt chaser Sal is a total creep. He loves the company of younger ladies (even now). Can’t watch because of him.

  26. Sal 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!
