Rainmakers got my vote. VF, is there absolutely no way for you to be the other? My wife and I live right across from arco, you can stay with us.
Thank you for the kind offer but there's just no way I can be in Sacramento on Monday. I have obligations here that have been scheduled for months. :(

I've also been thinking that Padrino might be a good choice.
You know, my apologies to Padrino, he would be a good choice. As would you! How's that for sucking up...

By the way, how about our man Mike. He and his brother were instrumental in helping to keep the Kings here. I know that he's the strong silent type, but he's a tough hombre..

I believe Crown Downtown gets to send two representatives.

i know the Q's for Pete thread is locked but i had one given to me on Twitter and it NEEDS to be used!

Ask Pete why he felt compelled to come out and reach out to the fan base the same day Grant went off on front office?

Think about if he said it was coincidence, he'd be lying and we know even further that he can't be trusted

If he said it was because of Grant, then he has zero touch with the fanbase which is quite ironic for a guy who told us he wants to change styles of play because it's what the fans want.............
 
What is funny is that we will actually have 4 representatives from this site: Mike ( crown downtown), B.o.b ( Pete's invite), and the two we nominate.

Per Mike on Facebook:
Mike TavaresOK so it looks like representing us will be Nick Loret de Mola and Chris Lopez.
And VF21 isn't on right now, so I will put this out there so we can nip this thread now (regarding who will be sent). It looks like our second rep will be the Captain.

I really like who we are sending (funkykingston and Captain Factorial), and think they will represent us well!
 
It would be very difficult to find two people who represent KF better than Capt and Funky. They're also far more likely to get the point across without ripping throats out, which I'm sure would be a risk were I, Brick, or rainmaker (or numerous others) to attend.

Best of both worlds. I have absolute faith they can ask very difficult questions and not accept PR BS answers, without making KF look bad.

Fantastic choice, people!

Tsk tsk, you forget I do this for a living. There would indeed be rodent blood on the floor, but it would be done quietly, and you wouldn't even see it coming until the pounce. Give me my own preferred format of Gerbil and I, 1 on 1, 20 questions, and for the first 10 you, might think I was his friend as he built himself his own trap, 5 more would be spent tightening the noose and letting him choose the manner of his own demise, and we wouldn't get to the good stuff until the final handful of payoff questions.

But the current format is there to protect Gerbil. I've never heard of whatever that law school is that he is supposed to have come from, but if it had any mock court training at all he'll know its virtually impossible to pin somebody down with a single question, especially one asked by amateurs or people on your bosses payroll. He also spent time working on a political campaign, which is a great place to hone your stay on message/buzzword technique (although I doubt he was senior enough to be interacting with media). And then he's got 8 years working as an agent, junior grade, which if nothing else should teach you how to just flat lie. Getting him to do anything but turn every solitary question back onto a set list of predesigned talking points will be a challenge to say the least. Who knows, maybe it would have helped to send a couple of fans who would actually physically carry in pitchforks and torches just to stad in the back of the room and make him sweat.

Per my original OP in this thread, if it were up to me, you would have been there. But that's difficult when you're a big time lawyer in NYC ;)

Sorry for the delay but I'm very happy that funkykingston and Capt. Factorial will be representing KF at the show on Monday. I think they'll do a great job representing the rest of us.

I do believe PDA thinks he's going to be able to defuse the whole situation by appearing on Dave's show and taking questions from the fans. I also firmly believe he's going to be sadly disappointed when it doesn't work.

Platitudes and vague phrases are not gonna cut it. Even if PDA doesn't answer the questions, the variety of fan groups represented will be epic - and I think PDA will be shocked to find out we're all pretty much on the same page about this.

Works for me, as long as Capt. gets it out on YouTube. :p
I'm pretty sure my job is to make sure nobody dies. I'm not going to have a free hand to videotape this.

As for being selected to represent KingsFans.com, I'm honored and truly appreciate the support from all of you. I'll do my best to make sure PDA doesn't weasel out of explaining his actions. (Though I do think that anyone who thinks PDA will apologize or admit a mistake is probably going to be disappointed.)
 
not expecting an apology, but i do want a damn good explanation for the assassination of this promising season and pissing off our young star

Pretty much this, and a detailed plan of what's ahead. Then I would like to be secure that when something does happen we can all expect news to be spread in a professional and timely manner, not through twitter rumors. That's just pitiful.

Ask your own question of course, but I am going to put together half a dozen or so designed specifically to elicit either a preferred response, or to hang him wiht his own words. Since they won;t let you ask followups, a key is going to be in framing the questions, and using public statements already made to pin him down and force him to acknowledge or improvise. Maybe he even panics and lets something slip.

I think handled correctly the right questions can slice through a lot of the B.S. and get to interesting points.

this is why i suggested someone ask him why he felt compelled to come out of hiding and speak to Dave on the same day of Napears rant. If he says there is no connection, he's a blatant liar. If he says it WAS because of Napear, he (and the rest of the front office) are so out of touch with the fanbase it's insane
