After 10 years, I’m moving from the 49ers radio booth to represent the team in other capacities. For a decade of unforgettable moments, appreciation to the 49ers, Tim Ryan, KNBR, and deep gratitude to the Faithful.
Thanks Niner Nation!
North Korean short track skater Jong Kwang-Bom not only practiced alongside the South Korean team but talked with skaters and coaches. Powerful actions by all that underscore true meaning of Olympics
To follow Dick Enberg as Wimbledon voice was humbling. He could not have been more gracious in his support... a model for PBP announcers..generous to partners, devoted to the games.
Spent 30 minutes w/Dick this summer, a treasured memory. Prayers for the family.
Tennis MUST have a finish line. No more gladiator 5th sets.
Friday night at Wimbledon was wrong. Nobody won.
Djokovic and Nadal were penalized. Ticket buyers didn’t win.
Who will step up and do the right thing so a great day on the sport‘s best stage plays out properly?
First day home from Korea and run into World

@CaroWozniacki
. Practicing for Indian Wells and heading to Warriors game tonight with David Lee. She’s a terrific player and he’s not bad either—played as a youth.
As we fight this physical threat, the country must provide needed mental health resources. Mental health will be a very real challenge in this new world. Sincere hope that the experts will be given a platform to address all of us.
A day to treasure with another Rafa-Roger match LIVE now on

Don’t be fooled by our calm appearance. The 2 greats are handling brutal playing conditions like champions.
Bill. Thank you.
For a dozen years of courtside companionship. They called it work, but with you it never was. I partnered you in our profession, but you schooled me in life.
For a home drawer overflowing with tie-dye shirts? What constellation of colors better matches…….
What Wimbledon gave us this weekend would be as if
Tiger/Jack/Hogan had played at the same time.
No sport has what tennis had today. And no signs of change.
The three greatest...all for over a decade. With the leader pushing 40 and still strong.
Cherish this.
Spread the word. “Strokes of Genius” airs 8P ET Sunday on

Peter Magowan is a Giant.
His love of baseball and depth of care for Giants fans lives on at 3rd and King.
Another passion for Peter- Tennis. He treasured Johnny Mac joining him and Debby for a game, the night Bonds gave Mac his bat.
It was my honor to know and work for him.
Joe Morgan was a great partner, welcomed me at
@NBCSports
and
@SFGiants
. No big-timing a young guy. Learned from him every game. His analysis was a staple of NBC Olympics seminars.
Endless respect from players-Pete Rose in our booth.
Heaven’s HOF grows again.
Our entire compound stopped to watch US gold in hockey. Could this do for women’s hockey what Brandi and that team did for soccer?
And, easily the most compelling hockey game of these Olympics. Win for the women and major loss for the NHL.
1986 World Series Game 6. Dave Henderson leads off top10 w/HR. If NFL was in charge, game over. Red Sox win WS. No Buckner.
Insane thought, isn't it? Change the OT rule.
Bruce Springsteen last night on Broadway stage: We have heard people in high position in the American government blaspheme in the name of God and country that it is a moral thing to assault the children amongst us. May God save our souls.
Thank you Bruce

Disappointing to hear TBS parroting Dodgers and Giants have never played in post-season.
1962??
1951?? Have they heard of Bobby Thomson?
Tell those who played that those weren’t playoffs.
How do I avoid this takeaway: Why play conference championship game? Why care about conference title? Why play ANY quality non-conf game? How is conference season relevant? Why not schedule all FCS non-conf to detriment of paying customers? How did college football win today?
43 years ago today, four ABA teams merged with the NBA.
An 18yr old had his 1st sports job as a ticket salesman. Office intercom announced: We are now the NY Nets of the NBA.
Selling “DrJ in the NBA” over the next 10 weeks earned enough to buy 1st car.
Louisiana Senator quoted Matthew last Fri- 'For what is a person profiting if he gains the world but loses his soul? This Friday, every Senator must ask themselves- will I lose my soul?
Paul Hornung was a titan. 2 years together on ND football—we walked anywhere we wanted in any stadium. Paul was a human credential- no ID needed.
A truly great player- Winning the Heisman on a 2-8 team will never again happen.
And a great partner for a young guy living a dream.
In a SHOCKING turn of events Rick Santorum proves to the world once again that he completely lacks any form of decency, intelligence, or common sense.
Please go away now.
Katie Ledecky at East Palo Tennis and Tutoring dinner shined with her extraordinary character. Her remarks targeted and impacted the aspiring students, who are tutored by 150+ Stanford students.
Katie is the epitome of student-athlete and Olympian. What a gift for EPATT.
Tom Seaver loved his family, his dogs, his grapes and his Calistoga. He legitimized the Mets-when he arrived, fans saw their first star. That made us believe.
All blessed to know him will lift a glass of GTS Nancy’s Fancy Cab tonight in his honor. Prayers to Nancy and family.
Watching Oregon’s win reinforces that no playoff can diminish the Rose Bowl. Look at the faces and see clearly what that meant to the Ducks. The game lives forever as the best CFB tradition- a proud meet of

KingKong Bundy. Made me think of Mean Gene. A good man who took a 23-year-old under his wing when we worked together years ago. Funny, clever and landed in the role he was born for. Didn’t see him in later yrs, but will never forget his generosity.
Asked many smart people about SKorea skater fall that took out Canada. Told it’s not a foul as Kim had already pushed off, but simply very bad luck for Canada.
But, ISU must adopt referee announcing penalty and when it occurred, a la NFL. Essential for credibility of the sport
40 yrs ago, Bob Basche coined Breakfast at Wimbledon which NBC made into a summer TV tradition.
Others may borrow but the name belongs to Bjorn, Mac, Jimmy, Martina, Chris, Steffi, Boris, Pete, Venus, Serena, Roger, Rafa and NBC.
Bravo Basch!

Thanks to US Judge who reminded us:
The primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings....
This means that they do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control.
Taylor Ricci started

Brian Kelly at LSU: “I want to be under the bright lights. I want to be on the Broadway stage. That’s what my passion is.”
Where has he been the last 12 years?
Working many days in studio with him, my benefit was to know both the on-air Ralph Barbieri- bright, inquisitive, opinionated- and the off-air Ralph- sensitive, loyal, devoted to parenthood.
Ralph made sports talk essential Bay Area radio. He is forever “one of a kind.”

Heck of a day trip. AELTC beyond gracious to make it happen.
JimmyG Sunday was most I’ve pulled for an athlete since Alex Smith.
Exiled despite winning. Handled it all with class.
Like Alex 10 yrs ago-the parallels are eerie.
NFL coach told me last winter-“Look at the record with Jimmy….then without him. Don’t overthink it.”
St. Patrick’s toast to Tom Seaver. Nancy/Tom hosted us in Calistoga 2 summers ago. Leaving that night, we knew Tom was with his true loves: Nancy, his family, his dogs and his vineyard.
Incredible honor to work with your sports idol.
With each cork pulled, a standing O to HOF41.
Thank you Gregg Popovich:
"We have a lieutenant governor who decided he doesn't want to listen to Fauci and those people anymore. That makes a lot of sense. How safe can that be? The messaging is ridiculous.
