I try not to comment on hers and others either for the same reason. I try to focus on why the message itself is troublesome. She seems like a nice person. But there have been some biased and shortsighted takes that, in my opinion, are underestimating the intelligence of Kings fans - which was the opposite of what Bob Miller would do.

There is also another side of me that says if you can't handle criticism from a bunch of jaded Kings fans you might want to get a job not in front of a television camera.

I remember Byfield coming out of the gate last year like a force. So far he's been a big dud, stat watching Stutzle doesn't help either...

When I say what I am about to say, I'm really not trying to pat myself on the back. One of the only prospects I've been spot on about was Vilardi. Like most, I've had tons of misses, just getting lost in the hype of prospects and Kings picks.

But I wanted Stutzle so bad. Much more than Byfield. As soon as I found out we got 2nd overall, I watched every highlight package I could, of both players. And Stutzle just OOZED skill. He looked phenomenal. The plays he made at top speed screamed star player. I really wanted him in a Kings uniform.

But, we picked QB. And I had no choice but to switch my hype over to Q and move on.

Praying QB finds consistency and makes his mark on the team, otherwise this one will sting for a while, it already does.
