He would at least garner immediate interest esp if pitted against Mr T in the 3-7 timeslot.<br /><br />Maybe I'm in the minority but I like The Game especially when it's Greg Papa vs. Bob Fitzgerald, who is a certifiable bore (and a blow-hard). Papa is the real deal and I like to have an alternative to KNBR (though they're the king of Bay Area sports radio).<br /><br />Rich, you provide a terrific service to the Bay Area sports media landscape...keep going! <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-41416137495295972162014-01-09T18:19:08.774-08:002014-01-09T18:19:08.774-08:00This is what assumed.... they move back to their o...This is what assumed.... they move back to their original clock of 6am-10am, 10am-2pm, 2pm-6pm, 6pm-10pm.

His last few years at KNBR were abysmal, and the interviews he's done since then (with you Rich, and on 95.7 the Game) have suggested a further decline - physical, or perhaps (sadly) otherwise. I say let the guy keep his dignity and live the remaining years of his life out of the public eye.

They get a slight bump during post season baseball when the A's are in the playoffs. Then it's back to under a 1 share. Now that Entercom's market manager has been forced out, KGMZ's PD should be next.

I like a few of the fill-ins.<br /><br />Signal sucks (I guess) I'm in Oakland and it is always crystal clear and strong. One mans experience and opinion.

I think we should all say a prayer for Ralph and hope that he isn't suffering too much. Cumulus settled on large suit he had filed, so Ralph and his son Tayte will be taken care of for the rest of their lives. The Game wouldn't be interested in Ralph, even if he were healthy. They've made it quite clear that they like out of market talent, with the exception of Greg Papa and a few of the fill-in talk show hosts from Comcast. They will never go anywhere t with a weak signal and mediocre programs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-23542757374212763442014-01-08T14:54:57.609-08:002014-01-08T14:54:57.609-08:00Rich is obviously trolling for comments.
