Many Thanks
Well, our grass roots campaign fell just short, as both Paul-106 and I were sent packing this afternoon during the finals of the luckiest fan competition.
I was absolutely convinced that I was going to win this thing, especially when I pulled Spencer Hawes (if you did not see the proceedings, each of the six finalists were associated with a former Kings 1st round draft pick). Alas, it was not to be.
So here is where I launch into my hatchet job and let my pent up bitterness flow. One problem, though. Everyone was so freakin' nice! The people from Maloof's Sports & Entertainment (Phil, Mayne, Wendy, Desiree, Mitch and the others that I am forgetting at the moment) - nice! Jeff, the makeup guy (and believe me his job on me was close to urban renewal) - nice! Jim Kozimor - nice! Ailene Voison - nice! Quincy Douby, Geoff Petrie - nice, nice! Winning fan Margie Parilo (and her family) - extremely...nice!
This was a great experience. The best part was having my daughter sit with me throughout the telecast. Her friends began texting her almost immediately to let her know that they had seen her on TV. Very gratifying.
So to that end I thank each and every one of you one last time. We can now place our focus on the lottery, and throw all of our good karma Margie's way. It is not important who brings the #1 pick home, just that it is brought home.
Best of luck, Margie. Knock 'em dead!

I loved what Joe said
U better come back with a no. 1 or 2 pick.
No. 3 is worthless, IMO. You want either Rose or Beaseley.

Number 3 could be Danilo
We know how much Petrie loves him some Europeans

Ok fine, I'll say what we're all thinking
The way they chose the luckiest fan seemed kind of suspect. They had the little ping-pong ball rolling cage of doom right there, why do tot he decidedly not random briefcase? How do we not know they didn’t have 6 briefcases depending on which player Margie was represented by? Couldn’t they just have thrown all the ping-pong balls back in and picked that way? I call shenanigans on Mr. Petrie. I see through your plot!

There are two cheerleaders
in the section214 family. I was most impressed with you trying to pump up the group when Margie won. Here’s your good sportsmanship trophy!

God bless you, Corliss. You always played as though you knew how expensive my tickets were. -section214

Actually
I had turned my back to the camera and was pitching a fit. And I did not give Margie a congratulatory hug – I was trying to asphyxiate her.
Thanks for the trophy, KK – it’s amazing how your outlook and behavior changes when you’re sitting there with your daughter.
