Radnich sets correct tone on San Bruno tragedy; provides cover for "Murph and Mac" mush; Ronn Owens note

I've often ripped hard into Gary Radnich, but he deserves major points on his KNBR show Friday, showing much-needed levity in addressing the tragedy in San Bruno.

More to the point, Radnich' mantra that sports took an immediate back seat to Thursday night's calamity provided much-needed cover to the embarrassing "performance" by his morning show mental midgets, "Murph and Mac", who barely gave scant attention to the goings-on in San Bruno. ("Murph" blurted out a 20-sec. brief mention at 5 AM, and immediately went straight to a rah-rah Giants win rant)

Sure, KNBR is an all-sports station, but the magnitude of the events in San Bruno were far more important, more compelling, most importantly, IT was what people were talking about; indeed, ALL the cable networks, even ESPN, made note and covered the conflagration.

Except, of course, the clueless boobs named Smurph and Crap.

**Ronn Owens devoted the first two hours on KGO to the San Bruno story and managed to get phone interviews with Lieut. Gov, Abel Maldonado, State Sen., LeLand Yee, and Insur. czar, Steve Poizner.
