They are, with their over-practiced yet still awkward use of jargon, every bit as big an embarrassment as is that army of African-American ex-jocks who can't effectively communicate in their native tongue. Scholar-athletes my butt.<br /><br />That Damon, a host I find obnoxious, rightly credited a handful of women with having something to say (Ann Killion is one) ought to get him an award for truth and accuracy in reporting, although I would have a tough time getting my sports crazy, former scholar-athlete wife to admit there's even a handful. <br /><br />Damon's mistake was in thinking that truth and accuracy have any place in the media. The job, whether in news or sports, is about maintaining illusions and enforcing political correctness. It's old school Pravda with token diversity, loud-mouthed women, and improved bells and whistles.Arse Nardmannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-16502709354894827352013-11-11T17:57:08.787-08:002013-11-11T17:57:08.787-08:00http://www.wistv.com/story/22658020/commissioners-...http://www.wistv.com/story/22658020/commissioners-begin-search-for-county-managerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-67426013719109011092013-11-11T16:13:06.974-08:002013-11-11T16:13:06.974-08:00The NBA has a race/gender problem, too.

The guy is a hack, and is lucky to be working in San Francisco. The only reason he was hired was because Cumulus bought KNBR several years back. From what I understand, he was out of a job when they brought him in, and he actually was doing the nightly call in show on KNBR until he pissed off management and the Giants for his regular nightly rants and critiques. You'd think KNBR management might have learned something from the Larry Krueger-gate fiasco a few years earlier, but then-GM Tony Salvadore wasn't the brightest bulb as far as programming. Salvadore was also the guy who replaced the popular Frank and Mike morning show with Steve McPartlin, another loud mouth hack who lasted less than a year at the knibber.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-130161936635824372013-11-11T12:06:05.945-08:002013-11-11T12:06:05.945-08:00Ted Ramey just started up, no mention.
