Well deserved recognition for Nick, Mr.Miller and Foxy. But how about a print media and bloggerific award for Mr. Rich Hammond too!

We are fortunate to have all of the above working hard for us on Kings coverage.

Love ya guys!

Hmmm....off day for league, Kings in 13th place, league floundering, newspaper industry floundering, and Rich gets 10 blog entries up with good content, in addition to his other responsibilities.

Never mind the other guys, Rich needs to get an award.

You really spoil us, Rich. Thanks again.

Some broadcasters are very annoying and iratating.Jim and Bob are great and seem to compliment one another.They are in a small group that I like.To bad they don't have a better team to work with,especially a head coach.
