I think your readers have hit the nail on the head when it comes to Lee "it's not my fault!" Hammer. He did Fu$#ed up Dave Flemming's home run call of Barry Bonds 715 record breaking shot back in 2006, not long after he took over as PD. Then the first thing he did after mistakenly cutting Fleming's mike and panicking because he couldn't seem to find the right button to push to bring it back on, was to call Tony Salvadore and make a lame excuse that it wasn't his fault.<br /><br /> The story goes that he told Tony that some freak thing happened and Fleming's mike just died. Right! In the middle of one of the most important moments of the season? And it never happened before?<br /><br />It's stunning that Hammer has the job he does. He was hired to run 'The Ticket' (KNBTR 1050) back in 1997 when they first carried the Raiders and had such brilliant programs as the 'RON AND DON SHOW.' Remember that one.<br /><br /> But in fairness to Hammer, he has very little power at KNBR. He's just a stooge who does what he's told by the Dick-Head brothers back in Atlanta. They have proceeded to ruin KGO, KFOG and KSFO in fairly short order. The only reason they haven't destroyed KNBR yet is that the Giants, 49ers and Warriors have all been successful in recent years and are bringing in lots of revenue, especially the Giants.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-3904788831457892782015-06-23T11:19:13.626-07:002015-06-23T11:19:13.626-07:00Ratto is the least entertaining sports radio perso...Ratto is the least entertaining sports radio personality possibly in the Bay Area.

KGO and KSFO are doing nothing. <br /><br />You think Cumulus is going to stop selling ads, regardless of where they're being sold? Stop it.<br /><br />Cumulus would fire anyone if they don't think it matches up with their inane beliefs be it Lee Hammer, Tom Tolbert, Ronn Owens or any other name you can think of. And if you want to cut salary from someone who doesn't sell or get ratings then Ronn Owens is the first guy to go. <br /><br />Sports radio is the only thing keeping the AM band relevant.

I couldn't believe Brian Murphy made as much as Tolbert. Tolbert is so much better. I figured it's probably based on ratings. I don't understand why you'd want to insult your main drive time host, especially when the statement is false because Tolbert did have a decent NBA career. I don't know about anybody else, but I'd be a little angry too if my professional career was demeaned that way. As for Hammer, Murph and Mac - as any good boss knows, you own up to what goes on on your watch - and not blame underlings. You're in charge and that's part of the reason you get paid the big bucks to take the heat when it's justified or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-45149967664806489782015-06-23T08:32:30.532-07:002015-06-23T08:32:30.532-07:00Lee Hammer says DOH!Lee Hammer says DOH!SHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995326486815143436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-72430139832783745372015-06-23T08:09:07.305-07:002015-06-23T08:09:07.305-07:00Everyone likes Tom.
