Hammond on with Sparky now (1250am) 

Post#1 » by paulpressey25 » Thu Aug 14, 2008 2:02 pm

I won't be able to listen but if someone can summarize that would be great.

Sparky is hinting at wall to wall Bucks-Mo Williams talk during his show now (9am to 11am CST). Said he will have Hammond and Brian James as guests in the next hour.

Sparky is REALLY happy Mo is gone.

He wants people who don't like the trade to start calling in. Go ahead guys...

Sparky says Ridnour doesn't have to take 15 shots a game. Neither did Mo and if Ridnour shot 15 times a game I would think that he would be out with injury because his coach would beat his ass down for thinking he was a good enough shooter to shoot 15 times a game.

For God sake Sparky. STFU about free agency in the next couple years. IT'S NOT HAPPENING UNLESS WE UNLOAD ONE OF OUR BIG CONTRACTS!

Sparky is utterly clueless. I'm listening to his ramble right now. He talks about how much he loves the trade, then all he's been talking about is issues with the trade.

I think that any Bucks talk is good Bucks talk. The hatred for this trade and Sparky will create the perfect storm.

I don't see the point of having a former assistant on. James, like most NBA assistants, just floats around from team to team when there is a head coaching change. Maybe he'll give us some "inside" info on last season but I doubt it. Not smart to burn bridges.

I don't think sparky knows how to have an opinion anymore. All his opinions are generated from what will produce more callers who disagree with him, which will make for better drama on the radio.

Sparky ripping the bench right now, saying we don't have a 6th man and we have no scoring whatsoever. Couldn't agree more.

Pfft. That doesn't matter. We have a bunch of "defenders who play the right way." :roll:

Sparky does have an opinion, he hates Mo and thinks he was a cancer, Woelfel shared the same opinion, said he would have traded Mo Williams for a bag of used balls..............some of you might not like the opinions but they are definitely not the only ones that feel this way.

Sessions listed as the 3rd stringer by Hammond, "a great asset, future starter"..

Hammond called Lue the backup. Oh my lord.

He also said we have "ample shooting", something I completely disagree with. Called Ridnour a good shooter, which I completely disagree with.

Lue the backup and Sessions third string? WOW. I guess Damon is going to be shipped out.

Asked about playoffs, danced around it big time. "We have a chance to be competitive" if we "rebound, play defense, share the basketball".

He said "the fans will be proud of this team win or lose" a few times. I wish he would say more about winning games, because that is really all fans are going to care about.
