Bash Grant Napear - February 2017 edition

[kingjatt]

So Damien called Vlade a moron and might have lost his job yet theres no censorship? Grant just got caught up in a lie. Also how many callers per day does grant call a moron? Its clean cut censorship.

“That was embarrassing. That was absolutely embarrassing,” Barling said following Divac’s comments.

Ross asked: “In what way?”

“In every single way imaginable,” Barling continued. “That dude is not fit to be the general manager of a basketball team. This is real life.

“You just heard a general manager say publicly at a press conference, ‘We had a better deal two days ago.’ You moron! You can’t say that!”

Barling added a moment later: “Are you serious? I don’t even know what to say. If you’re a Kings fan, you should absolutely be embarrassed by that. That was awful. That was absolutely awful. You cannot do that. You can’t do that. Awful. That’s awful dude. Absolutely incredible”

Hell, let's say that he doesn't get fired: if there's no censorship, then what did he get suspended for?

Aye, there's the rub...

The morning and afternoon show is all that's real about sports talk here in sac. Grant is a friggin joke.
If they get rid of the afternoon show it's time for a boycott of the sponsors. Money talks. You can plug in any of the other shows in grants slot and they would get the same if not better ratings. It's the time slot, not the "talent".

I'm so sick of grants schtick, his fake NY badass attitude. He disrespects anyone who disagrees with him. All he does is takes calls. Half of them he just thanks with no comment. He doesn't interact with more than half the callers. A monkey could do what he does.

KHTK sports talk co-host kept off air after calling Kings’ General manager Vlade Divac a ‘moron’ http://sacb.ee/8YSf

Bravo to @JasonRoss1140 & @GoodDayKenR. @damienbarling wasn't alone in Vlade bewilderment. Sure hope the Kings didn't have a hand in this...

Moron station KHTK, especially poster boy Mr Moron Napear need to be run out of town on a rail - through sponsors boycott, picketing, whatever it takes. Napear for years has repeatedly yelled "moron" insult at callers. So now turnabout is fair play. Let the heat be cranked up by totally fed up, royally insulted Kings fans.

Watch Bogdanovic play- he is not a three. Plain and simple. He has the build and athleticism of a taller Beno Udrih . Much better and more skilled than Brno, but similar physically. No one thinks he is a three. He is closer to a big 1 than a small 3. Ironically, Grant admitted he has "never" seen Bogdanovic play, but "everyone he talked to" (again, classic Grant tactic of suggesting that "everyone" who knows basketball believes something without naming one actual example) thinks he is a three. I have seen him play- that is no NBA three. He is a classic two who is going to struggle to defend several twos as it is.

Bogdanovic has almost the same wingspan (6'11") as Malachi (7'0") and same weight (200 lbs) and Malachi is projected as being able to play some three, so I don't see why Bogdanovic couldn't play there too, especially the way the league is trending.

He's also bothered by what Cousins' stated during his press conference.

-"Don't call Vlade dishonest!"

so what would you call someone that lied to the media, lied to dmc, and lied to the fans?

Someone I no longer respect.

MOD NOTE: There was a post that definitely crossed the line in talking about the potential for physical violence against Grant Napear. That is NOT gonna fly around here...ever. The offending post has been deleted. Hopefully a word to the wise will be sufficient. As another mod said, "There will be no going further in this direction by anybody."
