Just Found Out Bill King made Hall of Fame

I was watching in background NFL RedZone (included in a sports package on Comcrap) there was a Mention of Bill King and Hall of Fame. Some of you here are old enough to remember him as the Broadcaster/Voice of the Warriors, Raiders and Oakland A's. For those who don't know or hadn't heard of him he was an Amazing Play by Play guy and had a wonderful vocabulary for painting a picture especially on the Radio. It was said and I agree you could watch the game from his play by play on the Radio. He had some famous football calls for the Raiders that are documented on YouTube. He could go to a bar one night and converse with the, as it were low lifes, then the next go to the Opera and Hobnob with the elites. I wish he was around for this honor. I duck duck go-ed and found an article on the SF paper site and it is a good read. Here in the S.F. Bay area have had an incredible number of great broadcasters, in part since a fair amount baseball and basketball games are broadcast in the afternoon where as in the east there are more TV games in viewable hours and not so many afternoon where listening on the Radio while working is possible. If you have any King stories please share. If I remember correctly he had the story where with his mustache and pointy goatee, a Lady who confronted him because she though he looked like one of those old stereotype devil depictions. LOL

Truly a remarkable day for Bay Area sports yesterday. Insane Niners victory, Klay Thompson return, and if you're still a Raiders fan, an insane Raiders victory.

I was hoping for a tie (in the Raiders game) then the Steelers would have been eliminated if I heard it correctly. In OT both teams taking turns kneeling down then uncontested punt fair catches. :)

Raiders were fine with a tie then Chargers coach decided to call a timeout for no other reason than changing personnel for a known run play. They subbed in an extra db and subbed out a lb and it bit them in the ass.

What a clusterf*** of a fourth quarter...Jimmy fell apart, Shanahan's play calling went to shit, and what on earth was that coverage on the very last drive...but a win is a win is a win, so f*** it! Onto GB (where we'll probably get obliterated unless Jimmy/KS keep it together for 4 quarters and Bosa + Warner are able to play). f*** the Cowboys!!
