Dave and I have been through this before; I'll be good.
Almost TOO good. I'm buying a house right now, already stressed.![]()
Hey I heard you Dave!I also used the DMC numbers for best overall lineups and plugged the site!
But no one was listening![]()
A certain morning show host who claims a lovely suburb northeast of Sacramento as his name has to go in my opinion. Before he got canned a couple years ago, he spoke fearlessly with passion and conviction about the Kings and their dysfunctional ways. Since his return he's the biggest apologist on the station. Deuce brings it every day, because unlike the Positive One, he isn't afraid to lose his job. Every time the Positive One speaks I just throw up in my mouth. It's to the point where its actually sad.

But I guess you did miss the part where I was about the loudest person possible calling for a coaching change last season (ouch, it was Karl but still passionate and not an apologist) and also missed the part this year when I said Karl was failing miserably at his job.
I'm not ever going to be negative (or positive) just because it's incendiary or the "right way the breeze is blowing". There are some out there, if it fits the way they feel, that think "going negative" means truth telling or passion.
I disagree with Deuce on some things. Hell, Grant and I disagree to the extreme about Cousins, and I love and respect Grant unlike any other. I say what I think at all times. True, I can't always say everything I know, but if I did that I would stop knowing things very quickly.
For every statement over the past few weeks someone on the show makes about the team, the texters will almost always be in unanimous disagreement with each other. There are so many splits in KingsLand it's silly. And to be expected when times are tough.
I love my job, but I would stop loving it if I got handcuffed or censored. I experienced that 4 years ago. And I'd do it again.
Say what you want about ownership, but not once have I asked to lay off, cool it, or anything else resembling censorship. I have no fear of losing my job because if I did, I know what to do. I learned that last time.
I don't masquerade as a journalist, I'm a Kings fan with a mic. I don't claim to be anything else. If that doesn't work for you, I respect that. But please don't make the mistake of thinking I don't speak my mind, simply because our opinions don't match.
The reality is that you have pushed the playoff agenda all season and there has been nothing to suggest that they have any shot to be a playoff team. Their defense, both team and individual, has been horrid all year. Their turnovers have been horrid all year. Their lack of adjustments based on their personnel has been horrid all year. The end of game catastrophic mistakes repeatedly say it all. Even during that winning streak, it was painfully obvious that the team had no chance of being a playoff team. ZERO! There was one quality win during that time. There have been a handful of quality wins this year. There have been a handful of quality efforts this year. And, for me, there have been a handful times when I walk away from the morning show thinking that you know what the hell you are talking about. VF 21 says your a big boy and you can take it, so that's that.But I guess you did miss the part where I was about the loudest person possible calling for a coaching change last season (ouch, it was Karl but still passionate and not an apologist) and also missed the part this year when I said Karl was failing miserably at his job.

Lol. "Pushing the playoff agenda??" Like what, some team-mandated initiative to indoctrinate fans into believing they could make it??
Dude, IM A FAN. And even if I weren't, 2 weeks ago they were actually IN the playoffs. 8 seed. By themselves. So as I expected from your tone, if I'm not pissed and hammering this team, if I'm optimistic at all, then I must be a purple glasses wearing homer who doesn't know basketball.
PS: in these parts lately, it's actually EASIER to constantly take the negative slant. That's where the wind is blowing. Anytime I try and see a bright side at all, I get killed for it. And I don't care. Would be far from the first time I said one thing and the public weathervane points the opposite. Don't care.
But to assume I don't know basketball because I actually once thought this team was playoff caliber (which again, they WERE) is ignorant and a little silly. But to each his own.
As I'm sure you have before, I would invite you to check out the many other wonderful choices our station has to offer, or- you know- make up your own mind and don't get bent out of shape what others think.
Dave posting on Kingsfans at 1pm on a Saturday while in Monterrey/Carmel. Get a life !![]()
Just being Mr. Positive!
Hey, that's my name too. What a coincidence. Who was your father?![]()
Exactly. Nate is the reason I have stopped listening to the mid day show. He is terrible.On the other hand, Deuce and Morgan were the life and the future of KHTK, and the only reason I listened anymore. I can't believe KHTK can be so blind and stupid to let those two go. I'm surprisingly distraught over this. I've made KHTK quite a part of my routine each day and it sucks to see those two get the axe. It's not right.How do they fire Deuce but keep Nate Goodyear? That guy is terrible.
I really hope this is a really good April Fools joke.![]()
It's not. Getting fired is never funny.
