Heh, now I am truly missingv something. Congrats Aykis.

Sam Amick was a peach of a beat reporter, and it’s too bad we’re losing a great writer like that

No no no… it should be “its the pits that we’re losing a great writer like that”

and I would add:

“The Kings have got to be feeling pretty peachy coming into this one since they were able to beat the Bucks in their own house earlier this year”

“These young Kings have really matured as the season goes on, losing their basketball peach fuzz”

“The Kings defense has really started to come around; more firm, like an apple, not soft like a peach”

“…if Peaches would just team learn how to finish.”

and it worked-out pretty well since they have a good happy hour (same on Fridays?) and obviously the location. It was a bit crowded though (and I think this was on a Tuesday), so it could be absurdly busy tomorrow evening, but that’s not necessarily a reason not to go there. Just be prepared to stand the whole time, and leave your sense of personal space at the door.

and offer some to Scott Moak.

but it’s really just all in good fun.

StR is by no means a “mainstream” media source its “just a blog” as many people would say. None of the writers here have any sort of obligation to be a professional, like Napear does, because they aren’t considered “real” journalists. However, the fact that they do act more professionaly in general than someone such as Peaches, says quite a lot not just about them, but about the Peachy-one himself. StR has shown a higher level of professionalism than Peaches ever has, yet are under no obligation to do. Ziller’s only real obligation is to himself, and maybe SBNation. But the rest of us commentors don’t have that at all. Our only real rules are no hate speech and name calling, no politics/religion, and keep the cursing to a minimum. So if we want to make fun of Peaches we’re well within our rights to do so.

being true professionals? You must have us confused with someone else.

There really needs to be an “unrec” button.

That way anyone watching thats not familiar now knows the nickname. Plus, it’s not really your faut because we started the chant and Moak asked you. You should tell him beforehand to ask you what we’re chanting though.

I would really like to see this.

Sorry Brandon, don’t smell any cow. I do smell Tyreke winning the RoY. And this game.

It will be after the game.

And you’re talking about “us?” Seriously? You’re kidding, right?

Making fun of Peaches isn’t just an StR past time, it’s something plenty of Kings fans do… including Ziller. It’s encouraged by pretty much all of “us” here. I’m not saying you need to conform to that standard, but saying that it paints “us” in a negative light is bullshit. You’ll notice that every comment other than your’s is in favor of this. If that puts a negative light on StR, it’s not Aykis’ doing, it’s our own, and we’re more than okay with that. Besides, the only person who will dislike us for it is Peaches himself. Jerry will still love us, and that’s all that matters.

Just don’t fall in the sarchasm. The landing can be really painful.

Dessert-Fox, I might think that you were Mike Lamb.

Half drunk college chicks were removed from my diet a long time ago.

As far as the business cards go, the only printed cards that I have are for my other job, “Java Safari, exotic night club dancer.”

You watch the 3 Stooges and look for the plot, don’t you?

However, many of us are, and its perfectly accepted.

Aykis’ plan does not cross any lines. He just wants to poke fun at Peaches, and the fact that he has the balls to do so in the man’s presence should be commended. It’s one thing for us to talk shit anonymously on the internet, but to have the courtesy and the stones to do it in person? Aykis should be commended.

There is a fine line between having fun, poking a little fun, and then there is crossing the line. Going onto the court with an Ax to grind has the potential of crossing the line.

Grant Napear basically went on the air everyday for a month and took an axe to Kevin Martin until the guy wanted out. Then he repeatedly misquoted and ground an axe into the back of Sam Amick after Sam practiced “professional courtesy” when writing stories about Napes- now Sam is gone also. If a blogger wants to go out there and get his two cents in while he has his “platform” then so be it, because that is exactly the way Grant handles his business and turnabout is fair play.

I hope Aykis wears a Peachquel shirt so Moak has no choice but ask about it. Then I hope that in a clear and calm voice, Aykis can voice his concerns about the “voice of the Kings” and his role in running both Kevin Martin and Sam Amick out of town. I sure as hell would and now I may just go buy a ticket so I can stand behind him and cheer him on. I hope that red headed jackass comes your way all hot and bothered Aykis because believe me brother, I will be wearing a tight little lacrosse uni and I’ll put his ass down right there in front of Kayte.

Aykis doesn’t have to act like Grant, that would mean that he would bring a fat guy to laugh at all his jokes and call everyone around him an idiot. What I propose Aykis does, is to call out Napes in front of a live studio audience for his role in running people out of town. Napear will be sitting near by and have every opportunity, as a Kings employee to walk over and defend himself if he pleases. I don’t really care about dropping little peaches comments here and there but I would use the stage to stir the shit in a real way. Now, if Aykis was to do this, I would hope that he would have his shit together with evidence to support his claim and truly put the screws to the guy. Moak will have questions for Aykis and he will probably look here to see who the hell he is talking to before he enters into an interview. StR’s opinion of Napear may or may not come up but if Moak is worthy of interviewing someone in pre-game, he sure as hell should know about the direction that the interview may lean.

(I’ll only mention it if I can somehow get a Peaches or Peachquel shirt in time, or he asks me what you guys are chanting), you guys are all definitely getting a shout out. For those who don’t realize that half this thread is a joke (Desert-Fox), I feel sorry for you. As I said before, the Kings didn’t invite me to do this to talk about Napes. They did it so I could talk about Kings-Bucks. Napear isn’t worth it anyway, and our chanting Peaches all game will likely be heard anyway.

If BJ shoots over 33%, look out!!

If Jennings would just keep his mouth shut and play, I don’t think anyone here would have a problem with him whatsoever (see Curry, Steph).

both the player and the… well, you know

He’s incredibly talented. I just wish he’d shut his mouth. In my mind, that trash talking and brash attitude is earned. I may not like it even then, but at least I’ll respect it. When KG talks trash, I feel that he’s entitled to do so. Jennings is a rook who hasn’t done anything truly significant in this league. And dropping 55 on the Warriors’ defense is not significant

:(
