Bagley really never had ANY original thoughts and he was absolutely THEE WORST when it came to callers. He'd always say, "Not an educated fan..." I remember him going off on fans who "dared" to question Deron's "leadership." In just a few days after, Deron ran the HOF coach out of town and then was shortly shipped out to NJ.

I remember even before that, when he'd blast callers for questioning Boozer's toughness. "You're not educated. You think this professional WANTS to miss games?" I wanted to scream at the radio, "UM DOES BAGLEY LIKE TO EAT PIZZA EVERYDAY??? YES! OF COURSE BOOZER IS FAKING/EXAGGERATING INJURIES YOU DUMBASS!"

Football, I thought was even worse, since I believe he had a stint up at Utah St. and he felt like he knew something about Football.

Yuck.

I find most of the guys annoying now on the radio. Parks does some fun impressions, when he isn't drooling over Greg Miller. Alema was horrible, thank goodness he's gone.PK is annoying. DJ was fine. Monson was usually boring but at least had the guts to question the evil empire of 1320 and sucking up to the Jazz. Locke comes up with stupid stats and has the most annoying voice on radio. Jake Scott is more of a glue guy, I don't love him nor hate him.

I mostly only listen to Gunther (and Kevin Graham), who's the most hilarious radio personality out there and Jim Rome.

That's a good post. I would rep you if I could. I agree with all of it. I couldn't stand to hear that fat *** bags try to talk down to the callers.
 
Favortie Ben Bagley story he told on air about his job in college. He worked at an exercise equipment manufacturer in Logan (probably Icon) and got paid $10 an hour to work the loading dock at night. He said he would sneak off and sleep in the cardboard boxes and let the other guys do all the loading. Says it all.

Favorite Locke story is listening to his version of how Karl Malone almost killed him, which I think lead to Locke in Seattle.

Favorite Checkets story: 3 way tie: How he chose to play basketball on Sunday to spite his parents, how he didn't fill out the papers to get his Eagle Scout (after doing most of the work) to spite his parents, and listening to him rant about being his own man not the son of the rich guy--then interviewing a bunch of people he met because of his dad's affiliation with the KNicks. Love it.

Favorite Bolerjack misquote: "You know looking back, hindsight is 50/50."

No Bolerjack, the saying is -hindsight is 20/20, and even odds are 50/50/. sigh. I love you Boler.

Second favorite Blolerjack saying: Ya, know Harpring did play football in college......


Ah man this summer is going on forever, Trout why don't you taking me fishing?

I haven't heard the David Locke/Karl Malone story, please share the details.
 
basically there was a lot of noise in the 90s that suggested karl would perk up for the NBC cameras or national media attention, but didn't give a crap about the local guys. he would frequently evade post-game interviews unless it was a national game, and locke was one of the guys who really called him on it. karl eventually made nice with all of the other guys involved in the spat, but felt personally attacked by the way locke spoke about him, so the two never really buried the hatchet until years later, after locke had come back from seattle.
 
Wow, I read the des news story and that wasn't even what I was talking about. I didn't know things had gotten that bad.

What I remember from Locke's telling was Locke and Coach Nissalke were doing a radio show at the Delta Center durring the finals and were talking about how Karl had let the team down or needed to perform better. In the middle of their talking they turned to see Karl standing nearby glaring at them. They finished the segment but Karl had been disrespected so he said a few strong words to Locke and Nisalke. Then Karl took it to managment with a bunch of other gripes.

Later there was an incedent in the studios. Karl came in for an interview and was laughing and joking with one of the hosts then turned on the other and said something to the effect of 'I don't like you and I'm going to come over there and kick your butt' apparently the guy was terrified and Karl seemed quite serious. I don't think it was Locke because the Karl & Locke rift was already known and I doubt Locke would have the courage to show up to interview an angry Karl.

It was a strange time, Karl who had been mostly ignored by the national media and defended by the local media was now adored by the national media and criticized by the locals. Funny that now in the retelling the local media guys always talks about how Karl felt disrespected by the Jazz becasuse of the Ostertag contract, but they selectively ignored the betrayal by the local media.
 
From nightmare's article:

After Monday night's game at the Delta Center, Malone walked out of a postgame radio interview with longtime Jazz broadcaster Hot Rod Hundley. The Mailman was angry because he felt he'd been mocked in a promotion Hundley had participated in. The next day, Sports Radio 570 (KISN) host David Locke chided Malone for being "immature." Locke likened Malone's behavior to that of a "seventh-grader."

That angered Malone so much that he called KISN sports director Chris Tunis. He didn't get Tunis, but he left a message, vowing never to do another interview with that station. He also says he won't do interviews with Hundley anymore.

Yeah, Malone, you should absolutely respond to complaints about being immature by being immature. Fail.

That was a fail for sure. Is it wrong that I think the best part of that article is the headline? MAILMAN WON'T `KISN,' MAKE UP WITH 570
