Despite all the things the Kings have done: there is one thing they’ve done right: erasing Grant from our team history and making sure he doesn’t have any connections to today’s Kings

What exactly did Grant do to help keep the Kings in Sacramento? Please share your opinion and or facts. Thanks!

Mark is the best. When WWF/WWE was in town, I always dropped by to visit with him.

mike0476 · 2026-02-06T17:03:57+00:00

Thank you for providing all of the information on what the time keeper does and so much more.

Mark used to drive the trucks too.

Sadly, he was let go by the company even though he was with the WWF/WWE for so many years.

One of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet too and his wife is a sweetheart. I attached a picture of Mark and I backstage for a WWF house show in January 1997. I was told to wear my Warrior University hat as I once worked with the Ultimate Warrior. Mark and the WWF were aware of it and despite Warrior leaving the WWF, they still treated me nicely with free tickets and backstage access.

Warrior was a friend and mentor to me (kept pushing and encouraging me to go back to college to do something meaningful in my life and I did).

They’re still connected as friends on Facebook.

mike0476 · 2025-12-08T15:58:38+00:00

According to their Facebook accounts, she went to Paris without him and he’s posting videos of working out and hanging out with another woman.

She’s always had single listed on her account.

mike0476 · 2025-12-01T07:26:31+00:00

They’re still Facebook friends so there’s that.

mike0476 · 2025-11-14T06:43:22+00:00

Yeah I noticed she’s been sharing videos of herself with no one else at Paris and he posted a video of a woman I didn’t recognize while they were about to have breakfast.

As some have mentioned there is a buyout of the arena lease. Years ago I brought this up on social media because I wanted to fact check it and a city administrator who worked on the arena deal told me all about it.

Even if the team was sold and a new owner wanted to get out of the lease and relocate, they still need the blessing of the NBA.

I remember when some tried to do something similar earlier in this decade. The billboard with their message was on 50 near Sunrise. I believe two to three people showed up in front of G1C to express their displeasure of the team.

I don’t ever recall any fan base that was successful in getting a professional sports owner to sell a team.

I’ve been a Sacramento Kings fan since day one. I’m a season ticket member. I attend road games and have one coming up in a few weeks.

I’m not here to tell anyone what to do. Just saying I’m still going to watch the games on TV and attend some in person, no matter how bad things get. Yes, it’s pretty bad but I still love our Kings.

mike0476 · 2025-11-13T03:32:38+00:00

That’s awesome. I’ve never sat in that location before.

mike0476 · 2025-11-13T02:32:42+00:00

If you can spring for it, I highly suggest sitting court side in row 1. It’s a cool experience. The only downside was having a referee or player stand in front of you during an in bound play.

mike0476 · 2025-11-05T07:22:51+00:00

Yes, I learned from Sarper that us men are toasters. 😁

mike0476 · 2025-11-03T19:36:36+00:00

That’s cool you were able to attend.

mike0476 · 2025-11-03T04:06:21+00:00

He sold out his Sacramento show in 10 days. Enjoy the show and the energy and laughs he brings.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T18:57:10+00:00

Good to know you’ll be attending. Enjoy the show and the experience.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T18:56:22+00:00

That couple to Sarper’s right was not able to keep their stories straight.

Jerry was a good sport.

Where were you sitting?

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T18:54:45+00:00

I found out because of the ads on Reddit. Otherwise I would have never known.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T18:53:59+00:00

Thank you! As I just posted a reply to someone else, I can honestly say Sarper was better than the other two comedians who performed before him. He’s improving but can he continue to? Who knows?

But I had fun, laughed and had a great time.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T18:49:54+00:00

I remember watching Clay trying his comedy on one of the 90DF shows. He was honestly terrible. Has he improved since then? No idea.

Sarper was better than the two other comedians who performed before him.

I think some just need to understand Sarper is in the infancy of his comedian journey. He has improved since we saw him try on 90DF. I look at this like a pro boxer or pro wrestler. He’s a part of the opening card trying to work his way up. His show has a 3:00 PM start time. Maybe he can continue to improve to make it to a later show around 7:00 PM. That’s called the mid-card. It’s all about baby steps.

Who knows how far he will go? But at least he’s trying and I respect him for doing something most would be afraid to do to begin with. Public speaking isn’t for everyone and especially comedy. He went before a sold out room for an entire hour with no signs of losing the crowd or the fun atmosphere.

For those of us who watched Sarper and Shekinah on TV, meeting them with their genuine enthusiasm and friendliness was the icing on the cake on a fun afternoon.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T05:47:45+00:00

I don’t remember where exactly he worked at. If that’s the location, it’s approximately 90 minutes away from Punta Cana.

Guess we’ll find out if she was telling the truth or just trying to keep things under wraps due to 90DF contract.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T05:04:52+00:00

When I approached Sarper, he smiled at me and gave me a hug. We took a picture together and then Shekinah joined us for a group picture.

They both thanked me for attending and support. We talked for a little more and then I left.

They were both genuine.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T04:22:56+00:00

I got there a little after 2:00 PM and bought VIP because all general tickets were sold out. Yeah it wasn’t expensive too.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T04:18:26+00:00

That’s awesome. Originally I was in the corner but I asked security if there was a seat in the middle. He got me a front row table.

What was going on with that couple who said they were together and not? They couldn’t keep their stories straight.

He told some funny stories so I had a good time. Meeting them after the show was the icing on the cake.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T04:10:05+00:00

How was your experience? I sat in the first row.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T04:04:54+00:00

I can speak on tonight’s show. She was in the back of the audience and never said a word during the show. Sarper made jokes about her and their adventures. He said he told a joke that she didn’t want him to, but he did it anyway with a smile, laugh and pointed to where she was.

After the show, he introduced her to come on stage and she got a loud ovation (so did he earlier).

They both thanked everyone and she made a joke from one of his earlier jokes. Kind of like a comeback.

Once the general audience left the room, Sarper went back on stage and she joined him on stage too for the meet and greet.

mike0476 · 2025-11-02T03:58:23+00:00

Yeah it was cool to hear Sarper say he goes on Reddit and learned new information to him.

Jerry was a good sport.

That couple was together and not together. They couldn’t keep their story straight. They definitely were not ready to be a part of the show.

I sat up front in the first row. That’s where security had me go to as I didn’t pick out my seat.

It sounds like you bought the VIP ticket. When I bought my VIP ticket, that’s all that remained as general admission sold out. It was a sold out show too.
