Come January, look out

LAJayhawk, I completely agree about Billy (Useless) Packer. But listening to him was a joy compared to the torture of listening to Bob Davis do radio play-by-play, and Max Falkenstein blathering on, and on, and on.......

Thank goodness that the worst of that pair is now history.

Gary Bedore's KU basketball notebook

Bob Davis is one of the absolute worst radio play-by-play basketball announcers I have ever heard. He fails miserably at describing the game in a timely manner, giving the listener no sense at all of what is actually happening on the court. He was OK as the Royals TV announcer, because the viewer can see the action, and Davis was fine at interjecting a useful comment or two. But radio play-by-play for basketball?

Pathetic. I pity the people who have to rely on his description of a game on the radio.

Collins displays leadership abilities

Don't be so snide, ESUjayhawk. It is not a reader's job to figure out what the heck a website is attempting to present. It is the website's job to communicate with readers.

Duh.

All the Journal-World needs to do to make this crystal-clear to everyone is either add (VIDEO) at the end of the headline, or add one simple sentence to the text that clearly indicates that this item is a video.

Again: it is not our job figure out the Journal-World website; it's THEIR job to communicate with readers.

Mayer: KU duo must earn it

Mayer is exactly right, particularly about the idiot "KU fans" who make excuses for, or simply dismiss, conduct that was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. We don't need jerks like that in the KU family.

Chalmers avoids suspension

Jocks can get away with crimes and/or misconduct, and there will always be some idiot fans making excuses for them.

Keegan: Hmmm, good question

This is indeed a worthless article. The "apples and oranges" comment is right on target. This article is typical of the off-season filler material that journalists come up with to sell newspapers, advertising, and themselves, much like the early, nonsensical polls, which also are utterly worthless. Topics like this give journalists something to write and talk about, and should be taken as lightweight filler material.

I don't mean to single out Keegan; they all do it, in all forms of media.

Sherron Collins' court date set for April 15

jcsmith,
It is disgusting that you and people of your ilk are more concerned about the effect of a serious manner on the level of concentration of a basketball team. Too bad you weren't out on the road in front of the drunk-driving jock Carmelo Anthony. I'm sure you would not mind if your death were dismissed as a "distraction," and we wouldn't want the Nuggest to be "distracted," now would we.

As I said, that attitude is absolutely disgusting, and you just proved my case.

Sherron Collins' court date set for April 15

It is disgusting to see jocks and their sycophants blithely dismiss serious matters by characterizing them as "distractions." This is a serious matter. It is serious if the accusations are true, and it is serious if they are false. A lawsuit that progresses to trial is a serious matter.

The "distraction" nonsense reminds me of Carmelo Anthony, who issued a statement apologizing for the "distraction" of his DUI arrest. He did not apologize for driving drunk, or for thereby posing a threat to the lives of other people, but for the "distraction."

Final Four floor for sale

joedavis, that's no surprise. The LJW is noted more for "reporting by press release" than actual journalism.
