Grant Napear Must Go
- Thread starter Obadicus
- Start date
Grant really isn't worth my time in signing a petition. Besides, he doesn't really bother me. He's got a job to do (well, two really) and he does them pretty well. I don't always agree with him and sometimes he drives me nuts, but that's what he is paid to do. There are plenty of other things I'd rather concern myself with in regards to the Kings.
I don't really mind Grant that much, he's annoying on the radio show sometimes but decent enough for games, for a small town team guy at least.
Still, I am totally into this fresh new approach! Its way more fun firing Grant than second-guessing free agents we're stuck with now anyway. Without the negativity that is Napear dragging this team down I think we'd be able to regroup in time for a second-half playoff run. None of his ideas are working anyway!

where do these open ended suggestions come from?
isn't it customary to say something like: "Grant is due for replacement because...I think X would do a better job"? Instead, we get "blow Grant out". That makes little sense to me. Grant is fine with me, as I've said before, and I believe he could practice his craft anywhere. Ya gotta like a guy who has the guts to state his views and defend them on the spot, as opposed to the pot-shot nature of this thread.

I definitely think his radio show should go. There's no other talk show host who sounds more bored taking calls then Grant. For every other call, it seems he' rather be doing something else than listening to what the caller is saying. Replace him with more Frank Red(is he still on?) and the dungeon.
But on the broadcasting, I'd say he's pretty good and I enjoy his pBp. BYAHHHHH!!!

So what's with the "Fire Grant" sentiment all of a sudden? I mean, I have two other favorite teams (Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Reds) that are both perenial losers now, but I've never heard of upset with losses spreading all the way to the commentators! Who's next? Am I going to log on and see a "FIRE SLAMSON!!! His flips are outdated and he doesn't play good enough free throw defense!" thread? We're losing guys, but come on maintain some composure. Grant says some things that are well... stupid. But I think he does a pretty good job as far as commentating is concerned. Haven't listened to his show too much. The frustration is tough to deal with I know. But it's going to a point where I'm going to start seeing "I'm quitting basketball" threads...

I don't get how anyone can like Grant Napear unless your over 75 and you think he's witty, and full of spunk....he doesn't know anything, he changes his mind from sentence to sentence, he's a "yes" man and he's the redheaded step child no one loves... now i'm in no way saying that I could do better, because i'm an idiot and can't, but Grant Napear is the type of commentator that belongs in the mideast announcing high school games. He's too corny and along with HPL, I think he makes Sacramento look bad. I mainly started this thread to ease my mind about how the teams been playing and the fallout of recent trade talks, so don't take it too seriously....
Everyone knows the teams foundation starts with the commentators, its common sense.

I've had League Pass for the past four years; I used to watch 2-3 games every night regularly; I still watch 2-3 when I don't have to work. I've heard every announce team for every team in the league, and I feel like I can say without bias that Napear blows. He's not the "absolute worst," but he still blows.
Napear "by far the best" at play-by-play? He's not even the best play-by-play man in Sacramento.

Well, Grant is known for smashing the "morons" and "idiots" who call themselves fans. So far, in the 15 years I've listened to him he is right on much of the time. Sure, he misses one now and then. But I've never heard him go down on a smart fan who seemed to know what they were talking about. He is a New Yorker first and foremost so his style is a bit tougher on the milder Sac Town crowd.
The fact he has riled a bunch, the loud minority I suspect, speaks to his job: getting fans talking and listening to his radio station. The awards KHTK have won are due, I suspect, in large part to Grant.
