Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

A writer at Bill Simmons' Grantland looks at the King's Court. I'm happy with the increasing level of national attention this is getting.

I'll be at Sunday's game.

My girlfriend and I are going to make K signs and wear crowns. I might talk her into wearing Bernandez chops with me.

Prepare to be on TV

Wave the signs. Kiss a lot. Don’t pick your nose.

In that sea of red? Probably yellow.

Ideally you’d have one of the crowns, but yellow still is probably the better choice anywhere but Oakland. But I can see the appeal of an actual M’s shirt or jersey in blue, if that’s what you have.

Not a Kolloen fan, at all

His Ty Willingham fellatio pieces portrayed him as one of those “wins don’t matter, character does” types. I bet he was a big Willie Bloomquist fan.

The game I got to go to during my trip was a Felix start.

We sat in the King’s Court and it was awesome. I really encourage anyone who can make one to do it.

Best part was my step-son got quoted on MLB.com about it.

We also managed to get Vargas, Pauley and League autographs before the game, and we just missed getting the DA. I’ve got to get my pictures uploaded and see if I got anything worth posting up.

Very cool. You pretty much had the maximum experience, I'd say, aside from the Win thing

Certainly if you’re going to come halfway around the world for it, that’s how to do it.

by J0SER on Jul 10, 2011 11:58 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I certainly can't complain.

Plus I got to see Ackley hit a homer. Honestly, the only thing that was missing was a win but the experience was still incredible.

Does anyone else get uncomfortable when the

king’s court starts chanting “KKK”?

Frye-lock and I'm on top rock you like a cop

by pklym on Jul 11, 2011 9:57 AM PDT reply actions  

No because that's not the chant

you only hear it in threes because of the association with the KKK but they actually chant K a whole bunch of times in a row.

by pdb on Jul 11, 2011 10:21 AM PDT up reply actions  

Besides, it's not like

The KKK has any history in Seattle.

Seriously, though, if you’re picking any sequence of three out of a hundred, you’re just looking for a problem.
