*Eric Davis, 49ers radio color analyst, please, can you show a little more emotion?
*Ted Robinson, on KNBR radio, at the conclusion of one for the ages: Just enough controlled "what the hell did I just see?"
*Yeah, the so-called "experts"--those who "predict the winner"--I'm sure they saw that, coming.
*The reason why you hear a boatload of infomercials on radio is that those infomercials make a boatload of cash for the stations. Better yet, only a board op, (operator) is needed. Less to pay, more moolah. And it's not just confined to radio--or did you peek at the other local TV outlets on Saturday that were not showing the Niners' game.
*The bandwagon fans are not exclusive to the people in the seats--wait until you see how many "NINERZ" "fans" sit in anchor chairs.
*Assignment editors first missive Sunday: get the local crew to proverbial sports bar in the marina. Ask the fat white guy wearing Ronnie Lott's #42 jersey: "So, 'how 'bout those Niners?" (Wait until Friday when it gets damn rampant.)
*This is too funny, (and absolutely true): KGOne was so sure nobody would be listening to SweetJack central, their house prime-minister/producer literally called a buddy to fill in, talk, take a call, whatever. Scary, but he sounded better than some of their other schlubs.
*Mattress man was so excited after the game, he spiked his temperpedic.
*Meanwhile, those Cumulus "help-wanted" spots are appearing more often, more frequent, on all the radio outlets: Geez, why is that? I mean, I'll be damned!
*Again, people, two words: satellite radio.
*Leave your wallet in the back pocket dept: Alex Smith and Vernon Davis.
*Scary factoid: Radnich and Vern Glenn did a post-game show on KRON. Scarier: Two things: Radnich had to work on Saturday and KRON's two-guy schmooze was better than local sports cable Goliath, CSN Bay Area's dull-a-thon.
*Unluckiest TV pbp guy in the market: Roxy Bernstien was doing the USF-Pepperdine basketball game opposite 49ers/Saints on Comcast. Good scheduling, USF sports dept.
*On the other hand, Rox: no traffic going home on 101.

Wong/Mibach bizarro interview on Stow beating arrest; Kawakami and Ostler shine; 95.7 stupidity; Sunday quick chatter
*Claudine Wong and Mike Mibach sounded like a bunch of high-school TV carnival barkers as they "interviewed" a neighbor holed up in an LA apartment building Sunday where arrests were made in the Brian Stow beating incident.
Both KTVU "Weekend Mornings on Two" anchors were literally shouting questions over each other in an attempt to get some info from the unidentified woman. Fine and dandy. But when its apparent that other than the obvious, (that LA cops were in the middle of a shakedown) and very little is known, a bit of restraint would be nice. It's called common sense too.
Granted, it was breaking news of a big story and kudos to Channel 2 news staffers to snag a neighbor who was at the scene, but both Wong and Mibach's utter ineptitude of interviewing a woman, (who really didn't provide anything) was unintentionally comical.
*Two of the best in print and on-line: The Chron's reknowned sports scribe, Scott Ostler, had a beauty of a three-dotter Sunday, (paywall) and the San Jose Merc's Tim Kawakami broke the Warriors hiring of Jerry West.
*If the people that run the new FM All-Sports 95. 7 think that by hiring KNBR retreads, they're going to attract more listeners, they're wrong. Instead of going after new, refreshing outside talent, the Entercom outlet is making stabs at hacks like Dan Dibley, (an official announcement was not made of the Dibley hire, but Daffy Duck tweeted it on his Twitter account.)
Another stunner: someone in the biz who would know told me that the station made a stab at "Murph and Mac." I'm not kidding. Scary. And desperation central.
