I'm amazed that the public isn't up in arms, but most of the public in this country is asleep as they text, talk on their smart phones, Facebook, Instagram pics of our dogs or food, or reply to blogs such as this one.

The rest of it is dreck, pure and simple. The morning show is predictable, and having a second string DJ with a fake Jersey accent being a co host on a sports show is a joke. Brian Murphy would be okay if he had a strong co-host. Pee-Con should not be on the air. Marty should not use him on the weekends during baseball season. I like Marty, but his show is much too long. Four to five hours of pre and post game is a little much and he takes way too many of the annoying callers who are repetitive and boring. But at least the guy knows baseball, and that's more than can be said for most of the hosts on KNBR.<br /><br /> As far as the 'Game' goes, Lund knows sports, but he is terrible because he constantly feels he must cater to the 'younger demographic' with his juvenile treacle. He constantly giggles like a school girl at his inane, inappropriate jokes. What surprises me is that Greg Papa goes along with it, and even encourages it. That's very disappointing. I would have expected more from a guy who is one of the country's better play by play announcers. I guess he just wants to get along.<br /><br /> Another new morning show starts soon with out of town hosts coming in who know zero about the bay area, but that's what we've learned to expect from PD Jason Barrett. He had a good morning show with the 'Rise Guys' but he gave them little time to grow and fired them. They're now back on the air in Sacramento. Then he replaced them with Townsend, who was miscast, and a merry-go-round of amateurs such as Aubrey Huff and that loudmouth know-it-all Brad Gilbert. Haberman and Midlekopt are okay, and Damon Bruce is entertaining, but Damon knows a lot less about sports than he thinks he does. He's way too full of himself and has to tell the world how smart and talented and funny he is, and you know what, a lot of the time he's not.<br /><br /> Overall, the big problem with the game is twofold:<br />They've got a clueless PD who panics and tries to micromanage as PDs often do, and their signal sucks. I'm glad they have the Oakland teams on their air however as KNBR rarely mentions anything about the A's or Raiders, which is a joke when they call themselves "America's number one sports station." And they can't even talk about those teams on the air? I know they're affiliated with the Giants and Niners, but come on!<br /><br /> Despite their problems, I would rather listen to the Game than KNBR which has really gone downhill since Cumulus bought it and they put that boob Lee Hammer in charge. That guy is clueless and hired some voices that are really annoying such as Kate Scott in the morning. She constantly interrupts Krueger and Radnich and with absolutely nothing to say of value. Then Radnich keeps peddling his tired Las Vegas lounge act and could really care less about sports, (when was the last time he even went to a local game?) As far as midday? Why would anyone want to listen to the backstabbing blowhard Bob Fitzgerald (who knifed Greg Papa in the back to get his Warrior gig years ago) or the hyperactive motormouth Rod Brooks, who loves the sound of his own voice. By far, that is the worst sports program on local radio.

It was vintage, pure unadulterated Radnich. Some of his best work, ever. Give him some credit.<br /><br />John Lund is Sancho Panza to Greg Papa's Don Quixote. He makes the show work, period. Those two are the best duo in Bay Area sports radio, hands down.<br /><br />The game continues to survive in spite of Barrett. They have 2 quality shows: The Wheelhouse, and D.Bruce -- and Haberkoff is surprisingly decent. They just need to figure out mornings and evenings.

A couple of months ago he said one of the most accidentally funny things I've ever heard on the radio. Him and Papa were talking about baseball pitchers, and who the A's should start. Lund said, "well, you know you gotta ride the hot guy..." <br /><br />Papa missed the mark, and Lund said, "that came out wrong." <br /><br />I was crying. I may have missed it to if not for his self-deprecating remark.<br /><br />There are young guys in this game all over sports, and regardless of his age I think he's great. Doesn't have an ego, and is generally very upbeat.<br /><br />I'd also like to add I don't know the guy.
