You know what readers and this is a fact. Guys think they can hide behind the microphone and say anything about sports stars and think the stars are not listening. But some players do listen. I know here in Seattle Ken Griffey Jr. listened to what the jocks on sports radio KJR was saying about him .Oh yeah he was listening readers. He had rabbit ears.

And a few years ago in Philly, ex star Allen Iverson heard what a sports jock was saying about him on WIP. It went over the line. A.I. went to confront the cat. The jock was suspended for his actions. Here in Seattle, sports jock on KJR Dave Mahler called former Seattle Mariner Chone Figgins a “common criminal” over the air and Ian Furness went off on Figgins too. Nothing was done by KJR management to Mahler and Furness. I was very upset about this. KJR management protected and covered up Mahler’s comments about Figgins. This is a fact!!

Recently big DeMarcus Cousins of the Kings was upset at comments Kings play by play announcer and sports jock Grant Napear made about him. This is the second time Cousins has been upset at what sports jocks have said about him. Some people say that Cousins needs to grow up and realize that he is in the public eye and he has to take the heat.

But sometimes sports jocks will go over the line in their comments and cats will not like it and will confront who ever said these things. I guess Cousins is tired of the press in Sac-Town dogging him. In this case I am on Cousins side. Sports jocks on radio need to realize that certain players will not take sports jocks blasting them behind the microphone. Certain jocks need to realize this and watch what they say about players.

DeMarcus Cousins is 6-11 and almost 290. If I was a sports jock I would be watch what I say. You can talk about a player but watch what you say and guess what readers? Cousins might be coming here to Seattle if the Kings move here to be the Sonics next fall.  This will be real interesting.
