KJR TIDBITS
Softy was eluding to his three wishes for Christmas when cross-talking with Mitch Levy this morning. He said he wanted to take the track out of Husky Stadium because it takes away from the atmosphere. Mitch, namely because he's one of the only people at KJR who has no Husky affiliation, said he wished for Husky Stadium to be blown to smithereens for the piece of dog messs (he specified three S's) that it is.
Softy's wish list:
-- take out the track at Husky Stadium
-- install escalators at Seahawks Stadium (how this didn't happen in the first place is beyond me)
-- more legroom at KeyArena (Softy: "If I were Gary Coleman, it'd work. But if my knee is in the lap of the person in front of me...")
No doubt Jeremy can attest to that last wish. If you talked to him about going to a Sonic game, that would be brought up within five seconds, I guarantee that.
Later that day on the Groz and Gas show, Mike Gastineau got onto the topic of last night's Sonic game and pulled a tidbit from the Percy Allen article that ran in today's Seattle Times.
The part in question was this, in the Notes section...
Late in the fourth quarter, Phoenix assistant Tim Grgurich, a former Sonics assistant, verbally challenged a reporter sitting along the baseline to a fistfight after the game and needed to be restrained by two Suns players. A team spokesperson said afterwards that Grgurich was caught up "in the heat of the game."
The reporter in question? You guessed it -- Percy Allen. They managed to get Percy on the air to discuss the incident, though I had just picked up my dad form work, so I missed the part where they explained the main reason why the challenge-to-fistfight was brought up. Groz did bring up that Grgurich is "wired a bit differently" than normal people. Percy was afraid that Grgurich might know some mafia people in Vegas from his UNLV head coaching days. They also said it was somewhat weird because Allen wasn't even covering the Sonics when Grgurich was an assistant coach for the Sonics. Weird stuff indeed. Last quote from Allen: "I thought it was going to be Pedro and Zimmer all over again."
One unnerving thing about the Allen article:
Mariners third baseman Jeff Cirillo made an appearance at last night's game. Also in the building was Seahawks lineman Walter Jones.
Mister Cirillo...please, just go away.
Yes, slow day, slow day. Merry Christmas Eve, y'all.
[edit 2:20am, 25 Dec: I just now realized it was probably a "holiday" wish list that Softy put on the air -- he's Jewish]
