It was bad enough that Chiefs fans had to endure the sub-horrible announcing team of Matt Vasgersian and Jayice “J.C.” Pearson for today’s game against the Vikings.
Veteran KC Star sports hack Jeffrey Flanagan had to go and interview J.C. for this morning’s column.
Why would you want to get perspective from the one guy we’re going to pull our hair out listening to later the same day? And who cares what J.C. thinks, anyway? And I know sports fans everywhere have always wondered whether we should call Pearson “J.C.” or “Jayice.”
J.C.’s answer to that question doesn’t even make sense:
“People don’t know my name around the country, and it’s probably easier just to go with J.C. And people probably look at ‘Jayice’ and say ‘How the heck do I pronounce that?’”
You’re in broadcasting, jerkwad. How many people need to know how to pronounce your stupid-ass name? One. Your broadcast partner.
Flanagan then goes on to talk about some “folks” in St. Louis who want to break the Guinness record for the longest baseball game. Who cares?
I personally know 50 people more qualified to write Flanny’s column for the Star. Yet, he’s been there for ages. Terrible, terrible waste of space.
i would like to write for the star . . . but i don’t think posnanski and i could be civil with our differing views on buck o’neil.
He’d probably kill you.
[…] of my commentary on the Kansas City Star relates to how hard Jeffrey Flanagan blows (see here and here). In fact, despising Jeffrey Flanagan runs in the family. See my brother’s posts […]
