Mr. T's final send off on The Sports Leader

[@JamesBrown-hs9yz]

Remember Tom's first day. Will miss him. Miss Ralph. Miss Gary.

[@jdestefa1]

Thanks Mr T. You had a great ride.

[@pmaniii]

Tom, we’ll miss you buddy. You made driving home from work everyday a lot better.

[@ggalant788]

I listened to Ralph Gary Pete Franklin bob I remember Tom's first day and thought this guy doesn't have a chance. But if you can win over Ralph you got me

[@MrDjslav5]

Tommy is, was, and always will be KNBR royalty. Thanks for the great conversations Mr. T. For a white guy you brought a lot of color to the Bay. Enjoy retirement pal, you earned it.

[@Salty_Cyclist]

I shed a tear at the end as well. Love T.

[@RajDeelish]

I'm going to miss Tom on the radio. He's was the mainstay for me in my car for most of my life. Something will feel missing every time I go looking for sports talk. Thank you Tom for keeping me entertained all these decades.

[@woodpit420]

Take a bow Mr. T, angels fly because they take themselves lightly.

[@craigpinkava6256]

Tolbert will ALWAYS be a legend. Truly, it's the end of a radio era. 😢😢😢😢😢

[@rtsuh]

Enjoyed listening to the many characters in KNBR since 1992 - these guys have been there in different walks in my life and Tom will be one of my favorites.

[@danielmcnamara1099]

I grew up on the Razor and Mr T; even when I left the Bay Area I’d come back, tune into KNBR and Tom was that comfort food. You knew what he was about and what you were going to get. Great run, Tom, thanks for the memories. We’ve lost so many of our old school, San Francisco originals on the airways the last 10-15 years. It’s tragic.

[@SP-on6wm]

That clip hit me harder than I expected, been listening since I was a kid in Santa Rosa. Razor and Mr.T was the sound of heading to little league games in the 90’s, either in my dad’s Saturn or the back of my friend’s dad’s Ford Ranger. Thanks for being the soundtrack of my childhood Mr.T

[@Dweller415]

It boggles the mind that KNBR let Mr. T go (forcefully)

[@miltonpjr]

Legend. Thank You.

[@WarriorMigs24]

Thanks bro

[@tom2038]

I’m so upset about these layoffs. This shit is inexcusable, I’m not watching Brodie Brazil and what ever other loser they try to fill lund and Tolbert spot with. I hope the rest of the Bay Area boycotts this shit and sticks it to cumulous

[@Dwrexineffect]

Thanks Tom! For being a calming part of my life. Life has its moments and ups and downs but hearing your voice has been a familiar friend to so many of us. A way to center ourselves back to reason and sports and life. Thanks for everything Mr. T!

[@WarriorMigs24]

Tom thank you for being a great friend i'll miss you on KNBR my favorite is take away dirk cheers bro 👍

[@josey6877]

End of an Era

[@raymondalba6790]

I’m so sad since I have been listening to Mr. T since the nineties. What a ride and I’m going to miss him. Thanks for entertaining us for decades.

[@ronlion4918]

Thanks Mr T , you are a legend in the BAY

[@shrimboi8909]

Tom should start up KZbin channel. Bro will blow up!!!! LOL. Tom has that natural thing for talking sport. KNBR probably bleeding money! KZbin is the new king of talks. KNBR is trying to catch up but the sport radio model can't compete with KZbin.

[@radhakrishnanvamanachari1255]

Ralph & Tom, does it get any better than that on Sportstalk radio. You guys were the best & can't wait to hear you again soon, Tom.

[@kohort1]

I remember in HS, Tolbert from the warriors days. What a character

[@watts111]

Copes: 100% heart.❤

[@aaronrobles8100]

I don't understand laying off the best talent like Tolbert and Lund. I'm sure their salaries cost more, but are we expected to listen to their replacements who are likely significantly less experienced and able? Maybe it's just over my head, but I won't be tuning into the niners pre and post game show as often now or at all without Lund. How many more listeners can they lose?

[@bassslap2001]

KNBRs golden years are officially over and it's a shame. 40 years they've been the soundtrack of my life. Mike & Mike, the Razer and Mr. Tee, Radnich, Kruger, Murph, and Mack. Ratto, Fitz, and Brooks. Lund and not forget Rush! What a long strange trip it's been.

[@andretaylor9044]

Rush is nothing but bones right now.

[@jayzrat]

You were doing fine until you brought in that fat f**king nazis name into the group!

[@dozer012]

Ralph and Tom was my commute home. With Tom’s common bond of being a pro wrestling fan, he really peaked my interest when he would mention wrestling terms and his down to earth persona. Will miss hearing Tom on the radio.

[@xuguangyu88]

Thank you Mr T for all the memories.

[@dvdv8197]

So sorry this is so sad. 😢😞 Take care, T! 🙏🙏💪💪

[@ChrisCorral518]

Salute 🫡

[@richk3135]

I was a young man living in the Bay Area when Tom T. began his run at KNBR; used to listen to the Razor and Mr. T. They were the background "music" to my life then. I had KNBR on for Giants games, for morning drive time (Frank and Mike), but mostly for sports. Ralph and Tom were cornerstones. Still are.

[@ninerempire3398]

KNBR you are done dada . You guys probably already know this tho

[@afsheenmirshafiei9266]

Major bummer. Loved hearing you on the radio Tom.

[@travisjacksonjr1999]

thank you tom tolbert 28 fantastic years knbr will be missing a legend

[@christianaispuro9375]

Copes 💯

[@landonkelley7645]

Stop back by please or start a Podcast with Paulie Mac that would be dynamite

[@AB-iy9ci]

Wow. One of the best. I remember when he was a little rush limbaugh until Ralph helped turn him around ❤

[@scmgunner]

That's wrong at every level.

[@Eflat916]

Thank you Tom!

[@EdoJp]

Ralph and Tom 😊 were my favorite show while working part time in high school.

[@NurseJonny]

Gonna miss you Tommy T. Been listening since I was a kid sitting in my dad's truck. My afternoons aren't going to be the same

[@stephenanthony6245]

Young buck in the game here. I recently started to really to tune into KNBR like two years ago, all the shows have cool talking points and segments but Tom and Copes NBA Grab Bag is by far the best #ShoutoutKillerMike iykyk😂😂

[@rebeccaschilling]

Mr. T has made my afternoons better for decades. All of his interviews felt like glimpses into intimate conversations with friends, and I loved hearing his potentially irreverent takes while also benefiting from his high-level knowledge of all sports. I'm not sad for Tom since I know he is going to keep living his amazing life with or without an income from Cumulus, but I am so selfishly sad for myself! Please let Tolbert have his own show on Rome's FAST channel - thousands (or more) of us would tune in every day! Please don't shut it down and go home!

[@tunabalm]

Take it away Dirk

[@scottwinter1146]

No Ralph, No Gary, No Tolbert R.I.P. KNBR 680

[@christianaispuro9375]

Sucks bro he was koo to listen too. Drink a beer 🍺 before you walk out

[@ShonKhan86]

😭 I was watching that live crying like a little girl at work

[@frankpascual4361]

Mr. T was always the voice I listened to on the way home. What the hell am I going to listen to now? Can't listen to The Game because I can't stand Mark Willard. It's gonna be quiet rides home for awhile. Miss you already Mr. T.

[@kirkwd8829]

This is heavy and it truly, truly sucks hard. So stupid.

[@sfollie415]

🐐

[@cruisingthe101]

Time to go to 95.7 The Game?

[@RAM75852]

Screw Cumulus.

[@Skeedabo]

Did he get fired too? I quit listening to knbr years ago.

[@GNappers]

Never cared for Ratto till he and Tolbert did a show together. It was like Yin and Yang. Mr. Negative and Mr. Positive. Just when I started enjoying that show they took it away. I feel like every time I start enjoying a combo or can listen a broadcaster like Tolbert KNBR decides they have to mess it up.

[@Gizzmoe]

Aloha Unc🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@yeabuddy2222222]

Fuck cumulus for this shit. Like copes said, but im 28 and i obviously, dont know a knbr without tolbert and hes been a big part of my life more so for the past 10 years and im literally crying that hes gone for now, and iv never met the guy. Thank you Tom for everything and hope all the best for you whatever you decide to do. My life wont be the same without your voice on the radio every day.

[@MusicNMore64]

KNBR has been going downhill the last decade. Tolbert and Papa were the only reason I still listened to the station. That stopped today after Tolbert's last show.

[@GravityFalloutPines]

Ughhhhh this was hard to watch

[@GravityFalloutPines]

Thank you Tom, you and Ralph were radio gold for me growing up

[@jeffhaskell8259]

Thanks Tommy

[@JB-wq2xf]

Bye KNBR. Seriously, why listen without the great Mr. T. Been there since his first show. Such a bummer.

[@justkeepingitreal2024]

KNBR and Cumulus are insane to fire Tom Tolbert. Let me speak for the many fans out there when I ask Cumulus; "Are you guys out of your ever loving fucking minds"? Seriously? Unreal.

[@diesel1344]

I will really miss Tom as I do Ralph who I remember started doing a 2 minute sports update every hour on the afternoon drive time program. I believe the original Sports Talk host was Ken Ditto and I don't miss him so much or his favorite caller Salty Balty. Ralph and Tom were the best sports talk show locally or nationally. I will also miss Lund who is a real professional.

[@horusheresy5320]

They are gutting everything, Papa and Murphy are next mark my words. RIP knbr it was good while it lasted

[@normp3273]

😢

[@Maxx-w9b]

Adios amigo

[@The1andonlykyle1139]

So is the Hawaii trip called off if they can’t pay their employees?

[@FuzzyHuggs]

Mr T and Lund are both gone. Best to y'all, i hope to listen to you both again via a different method or medium, but seriously - fuck this noise

[@luckycooper4301]

Damn

[@leronecomier788]

🫡thank you

[@Tnsm372]

Sad

[@Dakinekine]

Officially the end of KNBR. It was nice listening to you guys over the years but you just lost a 24-year-old viewer that would have listened forever. Bye Tom the real ones will miss you. And forever f*** KNB execs

[@kurtthecat3995]

The final nail in the coffin. The end of SF Bay Area radio. Mr. T will do well if he starts a KZbin channel like the others.

[@kellahella5286]

F KNBR.

[@michaeldiez2382]

In the great words of Gary, “nobody cares” ❤

[@mylesdeportado2004]

Good riddance. Mediocre at best. The bar is sooooo low nowadays.

[@sergiojacquez2277]

What the hell is KNBR doing!

[@TamNguyen-bi4tj]

🤦‍♂️… @knbr
