Giants legend Buster Posey addresses remarks made during a KNBR hot-mic incident, responding in a subsequent interview. The earlier incident reportedly happened about three weeks before Posey’s Thursday appearance on the station, when a KNBR producer’s off-air comment was inadvertently aired during a live segment.
Multiple outlets report the comment included an insult directed at Posey, quoted as “Posey sucks, man,” made while discussing or following Posey’s first KNBR interview in over two months. Yahoo Sports and the New York Post describe Posey’s reaction as a direct, pointed response during his later interview on KNBR.
The reports provide context that KNBR removed related digital material after the hot-mic episode, deleting online traces. Yahoo Sports further links the timing to the Giants’ Pride Night controversy, suggesting the station’s absence or prior handling may have been connected, though the accounts differ in how much detail they provide about that broader dispute. All agree the exchange centers on Posey publicly “returning fire” after the previously aired producer comment.
