Randy Youngman of the Orange County Register decided to write about the Sacramento Kings again. I'd be willing to wager that he does this to get some links from nonplussed Sacramento Kings blogs and the associated traffic, and also perhaps to stay in the good graces of Henry Samueli and George Maloof. But I'll bite. If Youngman gets some extra traffic but it comes at the price of a Google search result for his name reading something like Randy Youngman is quite ridiculous, transparent and intellectually vacant, then I'll consider it a fair trade. Trolls gotta eat too, y'all.

This Is The Important Part Of A City Task Force Doing In 10 Months What The Business Minds Of The Maloof Family Could Not Do Over The Course Of 10 Years. This Is The Takeaway From Thursday. All You Need To Know Is That Even Though Sacramento Has Produced A Funding Plan For A New Arena, Neither The Maloofs Nor The NBA Showed Up To Enjoy The Presentation Of What They Had Already Seen And Also The Manicotti.

Calling the Maloofs liars is fair game, bit ain't s–t hollow about not showing up to a media briefing about a coddamn funding plan for a new arena in Sacramento. I'm not sure Youngman understands what actually happened at the Press Club.

PROBABLY HUH. Except the city has been telling everyone that this was what was coming for weeks now.

In May: "Yes, we can probably find a way to build an arena." In September: "Here are the specific funding mechanisms that can be used to build an arena, and an estimate of how much each mechanism would bring in, and a list of the remaining issues to solve." NON-PROGRESS PROGRESS.

Sigh.

Page 48, troll.

Oh crap, a comprehensive funding menu was presented but no one asked the Maloofs how much they'll kick in! What a gaffe! Oh wait the city has been talking to the NBA every day all summer.

Michael Roth was there! Since attendance is Youngman's key metric in determining enthusiasm, AEG is probably going to just pay for the whole thing! Right, Randy?

Indeed. No one disputes this.

Maybe they won't wait until lunch. It's anybody's guess.

Ha ha! Youngman's got jokes.

Holy s–t. Really?

Oh. So they are still interested. So this sentence was ridiculous. At least you're consistent, brother.

More non-progress progress/things the city had said it would be doing all along!

You bet your ass.
