  1. Greg Papa Pre-snap: 40 words, Post-snap: 10. After bombarding you with shifts and motions, Papa lets you guess what actually happened.

  2. Sounds about right. The 10 post snap on great 49er plays do have some additions of seemingly cheerleading though with some hype he and Ryan add to players’ names. Atrocious; which is why I watch national coverage on tv if available. Of course every KNBR show, not just his, bombards us with those replay calls the next day.

  3. Papa told his audience there is an App that you can sync the radio call with the TV for the 49er game. He just doesn't understand how horrible he is at his job and he can take "2 wide banana split" play call garbage back to the Raiders.

  4. I believe it is just a matter of time before KNBR airs only nationally syndicated shows, they are cheaper, and they could get rid of the lumps pretending to have some expertise in sports. Their bloviating will soon kill KNBR. I’ll tune back in when the usual idiots hit the unemployment line.

    1. Hope soon no station airs the Rich Eisen or Dan Patrick syndicated shows that dont stoop to juvenile humor or just bad sports talk given to us by 95.7 and KNBR.

    1. @12:50- KRON honesty hasn't been the same since Radnich left. There really was a change in KRON when they weren't the Bay Area's NBC affiliate anymore once NBC Bay Area became the NBC affiliate here in the Bay Area.

    2. Erin Wison and her whiney voice has got to the most annoying person on any tv station.

      @4:52PM Yes as Rich pointed out some leave local news and get into PR and other fields. Stacey (Hendler) Ross, remember her? At VTA if I'm not mistaken.

    3. @11:35 AM: Good knowledge. John Sasaki, formerly KTVU now at Oakland Unified School District.

  7. Sadly, radio is pretty much irrelevant these days. Most people don’t even listen to AM and FM radio anymore unless it’s NPR, (locally, KQED-FM,) or KCBS all-news radio. Most of the rest of the stations play syndicated
    nonsensical political shows which feature ‘ noise and nonsense,’ or popular music that recycles every 1/2 hour. Radio used to be a vibrant, credible, entertaining and informative medium before being co-opted by bloodless, mega-media companies who started downsizing stations as far back as the late 1990s. Then the I-Phone became all the rage about 10-15 years ago, and that was the knockout punch. Broadcasting? Anyone can be a ‘ ‘broadcaster’ today with little study of training. All they have to do is set up an audio podcast or a YouTube show., Sad! No wonder so many Americans are misinformed and have vecind lazy and ignorant when it comes disseminating information and understanding what is actually going on.

  8. Julie Haener hasn't been at work since last week. Is she on another vacation?

    1. Let’s check her Instagram page and find out if she’s rocking that body in a swimsuit on a far away island…

    2. Well it only took a few seconds to find out she is indeed on ANOTHER vacation. Her most recent picture shows her at a bar called “The Office” in Cabo San Lucas Mexico. Her NFL son is posing untastefully with a dead swordfish he allegedly “caught” next to a couple of locals who more than likely did all the work only to have duffus act like he caught it with one hand

      Delete
    3. 4:43, are you referring to her son who the NFL suspended for 40% of the season for using drugs and who the Saints put on the inactive list for the remainder of the games?
      He didn’t play or work a single second for the entire season. Sounds a lot like his mother.

    4. She’s on vacation again? Sounds like ktvu gives their employees unlimited PTO like many tech companies. Must be nice. Meanwhile the rest of us have to actually show up to work and bust our asses to provide for our families.

  9. I'd like to know what weather forecasts you're looking at. Reliability hasn't changed much in 30 years, despite far more powerful computers. They still can't model chaotic fluids accurately, and until they can weather forecasting will not improve. Maybe quantum computing will change that, but we'll see.

    1. @5:58- Yeah, that was kind of a forced motto. It never really caught on

  12. On a technical note. I appreciate the look of your video blog when you have a tv in the background instead of a dresser. Glad you’re feeling better Dick!

  13. How does the great Program Director Kopey Kopes & Cumulus justify sending all their on air staff to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl? Talk about a waste of money! Plus hotel rooms, meals, tickets/press passes to the game, Greg Papa & Jon Lund's bar tab, etc. What a waste of money! No wonder they are going to shut down operations and be wall to wall SF Giants soon.

  14. Also Tom Tolbert announced yesterday he is not doing well health wise and will have to have his gall bladder removed soon. Probably all that beer and fatty foods he talks about & consumes. Guess he's saving the ol' company money by not going to Vegas.

  15. Tom Tolbert and the recently released Rod Brooks dont understand how those NO talents have and had a job for a long time.

  16. Tolbert is so crude. He used to end his show “Another mans meal is anothers bile( waste). What a crude statement surprised that lasted for a long time on air.

  17. In the dictionary, next to the word HOMER, and I don't mean Simpson, is a picture of Tim Ryan. SAD...
