Did the knibbers try to arrange for a Kap interview? NO and Kap was ready to talk today, (Monday)
*As the Kapler firing broke Friday aftrernoon, Adam Copeland announced it over 15 times --in a period of about two minutes. I guess Copie was factoring in the theory that KNBR's demo is half brain dead.
*Dianne Feinstein had barely taken her last breath before some of the nimrods began inundating me, (and others) with political/personal shots. Timing is everything in this world, except to the morons who can't escape Internet behavior.
*A LOCAL broadcast media guy with passion and street cred, former KGO/ABC7 news honcho, George Devine Jr, a play-by-play voice that is USF-rooted and should be the voice of Dons basketball, but isn't. Why? I don't have a clue.
*Good people no matter their political stripes: Feinstein and John McCain.
*Scott Warren, the GM at KPIX, could probably run CBS at Black Rock. Wait a minute...
*Two indelible SF figures in the 1980's and 90's: Feinstein and Herb Caen.
*If KTVU were smart, they would RUN and seek out Bay Area TV News ND vet, Janice Gin, but KTVU and The Firm are also brain dead.

ReplyDeleteSo they're acting like every left leaning liberal I see on social media when something happens to a right leaning 'name' yet with excessively more snark. As the kids say, #shockednotshocked.
Spot on! Great post.
DeleteRich, I have had the opportunity to meet every S.F. Mayor since Alioto. Excluding Mark Farrell who was a six month appointee. Feinstein was my least favorite. Let's make a deal. I will get off Feinstein when you get off Jan Wahl. I am not a "left leaning liberal" or a "right leaning" fascist. Just a citizen with an opinion.
DeleteRich: Your tribute to Diane Feinstein was outstanding, from the heart, humanizing, with class, ignore those ignoramus, they will never show class even for the departed
Delete10:46 & 11:24--
DeleteUnlike you Trumptards. You don't need to make asses of yourself...because your Orangutan-in-Chief insists on doing so himself. He's doing a HELLUVA job, by the way.
8:20 proves 10:46's example. Thank you for coming through.
Delete"Traffic and weather" are infinitely more important and relevant to the masses nowadays than anything that spews out of the mouth of Willie Brown or Barbara Boxer. Their time is up, our time is now. They are both part of the reason why the Bay Area is in the current state it is in....amongst others (subject matter included).
ReplyDeleteT&W are the only things that the average person listens to KCBS to hear.
DeleteOne only has to look at the legacy left by these politicians decades later to see their impact on the world. Hundreds of millions in personal net worth while playing everyone else against each other while they are all struggling to survive. Where do I sign up?
ReplyDeleteI don't always agree with your opinions but i respect you for always putting your name behind them, unlike the internet swamp creatures who bash you.
ReplyDeleteIf some caustic conservative tongues were wagging, regarding Feinsteins passing...call it reciprocity and reporting inconvenient and undeniable truths about the departed. That's it. Deal with it!
ReplyDeleteThe Giants created their own "wallow". A fetid pit of treachery, deceit, hubris and blind ignorance. Kind of like the meat puppets running this country. The Giants ran pellmell into the DEI/Woke buzzsaw and it cost them dearly. They forgot one important thing. Their Legacy. The pride that comes associated with wearing that uniform. We have a storied franchise with a rich history, though you wouldn't know it. Post Bochy it has taken on the guise of a Dollar Tree Brothel. Can it be fixed? Sure can! Just remember: Salvation lies within. Selah.
Kind of seems like you’re complaining about throwing stones in a glass house as this is gossip column who dumps on people with open wounds, don’t get me wrong I enjoy the dump feast.
ReplyDeleteCopeland is an obnoxious freight train out of control. The WORST,
ReplyDeleteand why is he still there? And what about bringing back Ray Ratto, such refreshing contrast to the others, he should replace Copeland Crap.
Ratto sub for Copeland a month or so guess he is in good standing at KNBR.
DeleteRICH, I am thankful KNBR did not have Kapler on to be interviewed, post firing. I listened to his empty words for a few years of pre-game - the guy could say nothing of any value in 10 minutes. Kapler was a babbler. He tried to sound intelligent, he isn’t. He liked to throw in a few big words, which for me was a source of hilarity (and scorn!)
ReplyDeleteGood riddance to bad rubbish. I only wished the Giants would have canned him 1.5 seasons ago. His use of position players in lieu of pitchers when a game was out of reach was Bush-League, and he lost the entire pitching staff the first time he did it, let alone the sixth time.
Aside from this gripe about the sh*t-canned Skipper, fine column today Rich.
Had a great 1st season even with the kneeling, 2nd season seems like he wants to be a social warrior more than paying attention to the team, I've already said he's a knucklehead and under his guidance the Giants will go nowhere this season, Giants were smart to let him go
DeleteI agree. Kapler was as bad on the pre-game show as a game strategist and manager.
DeleteMy anxiety level is high. I’m hoping the luscious beauty that is Olivia Horton is not on the firing line come this KRONVICT meeting on Friday. Quality wise Live in the Bay! has definitely gone down. But Horton remains must see tv what a beauty! One major complaint: full body shots have almost disappeared…MAJOR RATINGS BUSTER!
ReplyDeleteOlivia is HOT but the show has gone to hell. She replayed the same “Mustang Mach E” segment she did yesterday. Really? Is content that limited? Terrible

DeleteGuess KNBR,CsnBayarea and even MLB Network did nor seem it important to air the news conference of firing. Guess informercials were more important for CSNBA
ReplyDeleteYou waste so much time blathering on about sports. Who gives a shit? Stupid b.s.
ReplyDeleteExactly. A bunch of rich men getting played to run around a ball field. Sports is nothing more than entertainment for low-IQ people.
DeleteWe found the two golfers in the room.
DeleteWould you rather he recap Gunsmoke and Mary Tyler Moore Show reruns grandpa?
Sports are truly silly and plain old gladatorial entertainment. But they serve a purpose: to get our minds off politics, the kids’ school projects, the wife’s need of a nice vacation, the boss’ bellyaching. Sure, they are a mindless diversion, just like 98% of the TV programs, but they serve their purpose.
DeleteJohn McCain's life was a bit more colorful than DiFi's. He dumped the loyal wife who had stood by him through his POW years, for a hot rich young blonde less than 2/3 his age. And later, crooked S&L owner Charles Keating treated the McCains to multiple private jet trips to his private Bahamas resort. Which is currently something we frown upon.
