Rookies introductory press conference

#18
Wow, that was short. No questions for Justin Jackson either lol.
lol. right as the pc was ending, I was thinking the same thing. I wish I was there cause I would have asked him what it was like to hoist a championship trophy a few months ago -- you know, the goal of every player at every level they play at. JJ's got some bragging rights over his rookie peers early in their careers. :)

The Sac media sure dropped the ball today. Not many questions and some of the ones they did ask were pretty awful. Par for the course, I suppose.

It also seemed like a lot of the usual people weren't there. James Ham/Kayte/etc.

Looks like this time they opted to give each news organization more time with the individual players.

Vids should start popping up on twitter soon.

Didn't Cuban take away press passes from some reporters? Can we just take way Ailene's press pass at this point? She is a total embarrassment.

Edit "Hi. I'm Ailene welcome to Sacramento let's go over your injury history..." :rolleyes::mad:

Ailene: "So about them knees, Harry... are they repaired by the same doctor? How long did the surgery take for each of the knees? Have you tried Chinese medicine? Heard of acupuncture? How do they look now? Are they swollen? Can I touch them? Ooh nice muscles... "

She's so ridiculous. It's an indictment on the Bee that they've kept her on board so long now. While I'm sure she has a few fans and loyal readers out there, I've honestly never spoken to anyone that believes she's any good. I don't think I'm exaggerating in saying that 90% of Kings fans can't stand her or her writing. That said, she must get clicks on her content so the answer is to STOP doing that! If the 90% actually refrained from viewing the car crash as they pass by, she'd be out in a month.

With regard to Harry Giles reaction to the question, it was priceless. Although, I'm not sure I buy that he doesn't know whether a cadaver ligament was used or whether it was harvested from his own body, but I certainly understand him not wanting to divulge the info. Still, not at all appropriate to get into those details at the introductory PC. One of many reasons why she's referred to a "Poison".

That was awful. Way to show how legitimate we are. Chuckled at Justin Jackson's sarcastic "Appreciate you all" at the very end.

How does Aileen have this job? There are probably tens of thousands of people in this area that could do a better job at it than her.
How do we run her out of town ?

I'm afraid Giles may be Ailene's target. She needs a villain to write about. That's her m.o. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think this will be the last we hear of Ailene going after the knees.
