Goodbye Kirby, Goodbye John Gordon- I Wish

I started to watch the Kirby Puckett farewell deal at the Dome Sunday night, but after a couple minutes of John Gordon making this the "John Gordon" show; I had to turn it off for at least a few minutes.

Who in the hell does he think he is telling us what Kirby would have wanted?

How the hell does he know?

I can hardly fathom the arrogance.

I honestly thought there was no way John Gordon could possibly annoy me more than he has previously done, but he did.

His self aggrandizement is truly delusional.

He is the Anti-Bremer (Dick Bremer), and I mean that in the most contemptible sense possible.

Bremer is the consummate, knowledgeable broadcaster; Gordon is the consummate wind bag.

I remember driving back to the Cities a few years ago when the Twins were making a playoff run. Well, Mr. Gordon was discussing with Mr. Gladden (who has improved immensely since) all of the playoff possibilities facing the Twins.

Now that’s fine, especially if you are on TV, but Gordon is on the radio.

The discussion was extended, but then, out of the blue Gordon pops back to the game and announces so & so steals second.

I was stunned, how did a guy get to 2nd, much less 1st?!

Attn: Mr. Gordon, this is radio, if you don’t tell me what’s going on, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON!

THIS IS RADIO, BLOCKHEAD!

Long live Bremer, Byleven, and Gladden, and may we soon hear of the retirement of Mr. Narcissist: John Gordon.
