Kobe was wailing and moaning like a 20s blues singer.
Is it real or is it a bozo show?

It's a maybe, he says/she says. But a not guilty on the verdict because you don't convict on a maybe.

Who Cares?

I personally think that whatever transpired between 2 consenting adults is none of my business. And if it was NOT consenting, and forced by either party, then let the authorities decide in a court of law and make some decision.
I resent the media "circus" and so much air time devoted to it.

I did not feel this way about the O.J. trial...that was about murder, and 2 loss of lives. But this?

You're right about the media saturation.

Still, gotta admit, I'm curious about what happened. I may not feel that way, especially if it drags out, which, is likely to be the case.

Oh, I forgot, I cast a maybe, very disappointing, I really thought Kobe was one of the good guys. Even if he didn't "assault" her, he indulges in a 15 minute sexual encounter with this girl? STUPID. I'm on the fence, but, I don't believe anybody would accuse Kobe Bryant of rape just for financial gain, that seems very unlikely. This girl is a college student, she's working at the front desk of a hotel, sees Kobe Bryant, and thinks "alright! a rich athlete, I'll flirt w/him, run up to his room, then after we have sex, I'll run out and cry rape, I can get money!" Uh, no, I don't think so.

I understand the interest in this story. You have a young super-star basketball player, with a very pretty young wife, and 6 mo. old baby girl, he's rich, a multi-million dollar contract with the NBA, numerous endorsements, he has a pristine reputation, doesn't indulge in drugs or alcohol, is devoted to his family, by all reports a good guy, he has it all. Then he goes to a small town in Colorado, stays at an exclusive, luxury suite at a hotel, to await scheduled knee surgery the next day. A few days later, it all comes unraveled, a 19 year old girl, a local, and an employee of the hotel, is visably upset, and is accusing the respected, well liked, superstar of rape. After a few weeks it all starts to unravel, the D.A. files charges, he has to tell his wife, his family, and the public, that he committed adultry. He is now fighting for his family, his career, his reputation. Who is this young girl? What did happen that night?

See, I love a good novel, especially a mystery, this story has all the makings. Most people will deny it, but they want to know every detail, hence the huge ratings these cases garner. Look at how much time the media devotes to this, it is definately over hyped, but they wouldn't give it that much time if people didn't watch it.

Don of the Dial · Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2003 3:06 am Post subject: Another good post from Mr. Coffee

In my humble, caffeine stoked opinion, Cheryl, this story is as trite a story as they come. in fact, I think it was a later Joan Crawford film that even her fans didn't like.

There isn't one element of uniqueness in this story. It's all been done before. And the players are dull as dishwater and as predictable as yesterday's news.

I'd rather watch "Double Indemnity" or "Laura" for the 25th time than sit through one more newscast with Bryant's stupid face on it.

Summing up the plot for those born yesterday -
Rich famous married guy with kid screws/rapes hotel maid and loses his job, family and goes to jail.

Wow! That's riveting!

*I'm not ragging on you, Cheryl. But, I'll be a butthead and say your time would be better served reading a really great novel than sitting in front of a TV watching this serialized, trash-by-installment plan pseudo mystery.

And...let me quote the John Huston character in "Chinatown" :

"I don't blame myself. You see, Mr. Gits. Most people never have to face the fact that at the right time, the right place, they're capable of anything."

You're not a butthead, your point is well taken, I love that, "serialized, trash-by-installment plan pseudo mystery<<

If I could avoid the entire story, until it went to print, it would be more riveting.

Ahhh, already, I'm getting sick of it. It's all over the news this morning, all outlets

I'm ready for the next trashy installment

re: Lauren Sanchez

I didn't watch any of that news after a few minutes of that "Breaking News" at 2:00 PM (what a performance)
It's being crammed down our throats, and as I've said earlier...I don't care.
What I did listen to was parts of George Noory..and omg at his guest. A Priest with some definite ideas on things and messages to mankind. As if that wasn't enough, the next hour waslines and assorted callers retold their creepy ghost stories. I swear, it gave me chills and I had a hard time going to sleep. (I should have left that AC on !) And I don't scare easily.
It was all thought provoking.....and better than hearing the Kobe deluge of unwanted information.
Hearing Bill Handel this morning was of course, a refreshing joy. I love the way he speaks to the elderly ladies, calls them sweety and speaks about their breasts and age. (Don you may have gotten a kick out of that)

Wow, You have a Gevalia coffee maker? Nice!

I love their Cinnamon flavored coffee. One of the girls that worked for me ordered from them a lot, and gave me some for Christmas. Thanks for reminding me, I still have some in the freezer.

ha ha ha...you may as well have listened to Coast to Coast all night too.

Lauren Sanchez - she's seeing Rick Garcia IRL and her comments are very leading and revealing. Most recent one was about having the option of keeping her clothes on (this in regards to some story).

I don't care for Bill Handel. He always sounds like he has food in his mouth and I have little sense of sincerity when he 'talks nice'.

Gevalia is offering their new 12 cup coffee machine and a pound of coffee for ten dollars total. You join their coffee club and quit whenever you want, even after the initial shipment of the machine and coffee, if you are so inclined. Contact me off line and I will give you the code number for the deal. Totally has their approval to do so.

Buy chili!!!

Don of the Dial · Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2003 7:56 pm Post subject: Lube job

Kobylt almost lost it (haha) with the women and her lubrication ohone call. (he asked if they had caller ID at KFI after she hung up.)

The, all these subconcious terms he began using about 'a juicy story' and 'leaks'. Will he come up with more or has this 'dampened' his enthusiasm?

Crimson · Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2003 7:56 pm Post subject:

John has taken several calls today from women where he has almost been rendered speechless! Poor guy....
They are revealing way too much information about sexual details, and first you hear silence, then John replying, "Well thank you for that information."

I DID buy chili, last night......review forthcoming

oops, Don..I think you had were posting about the same delicate subject matter at the same time...

Yes, I heard the lubrication/rough sex call !

and the Caller ID remark LOL

Cheryl · JOHN AND KEN Security Goon Joined: 26 Aug 2002 Posts: 2263

I missed alot of the show today, but did hear some of those calls

I didn't hear about the lubricants, but did hear a woman who said Kobe's accuser, being presumably white, was not "prepared" to accomidate a black man, she said black men "have bigger genitals, and the girl couldn't handle it. I heard John ask if she was black, she answered affirmatively. He said something like, well I guess you have vast knowledge in this area,

.

Sorry I missed most of it.

Hi Cheryl,
Well..you wanted more details...and today we got them...

How's your visit? Were you able to hear Bill Handel and John thru the website?

Don of the Dial · Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2003 5:56 am Post subject:

Chili! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Bryant is a liar.

I heard his 'famous' press conference on the radio and it sounded fake. Now that I have seen it, it is the worst piece of acting to come down the pike in a long time.

Bryant's phoney sighs and hesitations and expressions are totally rank thespianism. Who coud possibler be fooled by that?

SIDEBAR - That chick reporter from Fox news sucked! Purely a rumor monger and Kobylt began repeating her speculative garbage as soon as it came out of her mouth. And whoever the news woman on KFI was even mocked her later when her sound clip used the word, "apparently" 3 or more times, so the KFI news woman said, 'Well, apparently, as you just heard,,,'.

Also, Jill Stewart was on a few days ago.

Finally, for now, there is so much clamour for information re this stud-dud and the local girl, that the news sources are putting out totally unconfirmed and imprecise information.

If Kate Hutton, the earthquake lady from Caltech, put out shoddy and unsubstantiated rumors like this after a major earthquake, people would be runnning around in the streets screaming that the world was coming to an end.

Hello gang!

I am back! Just got REALLY fat on a 7 day cruise to Alaska. Missed over a week and a half of the show! (withdrawal symptoms)

Anything noteworthy other than Kobe's gold-digger problems? I hope they don't make the "hour of Kobe" - even after 8 years I am still sick of OJ and never want to hear about it again.

(my apologies to the O.J. Juror in our midst!)

Hi Mr KABC

Welcome back! Did you stop in Ketchikan? I've been there 3 times, but not via the Inside Passage on a Cruise Ship. I flew. (friend lived up there)

ha ha ha about the Wild-eyed leftist Surprised

I was disappointed in the whole show being devoted to Kobe too

Not much else happening, other than the Santa Monica Farmers Market plow down, and a lot of heat and freakin humidity here. ugh

I'd much rather hear a show on one of thse 2 items:

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-wheelchairs20jul20,1,1091250.story?coll=la-home-headlines

Kobe and w/e her name is (katelyn) bored me the very first day.

So where are the nude photos of the Colorado chick and of Bryant's wife.

Maybe that's what he doesn't want people to see.

Sex is the only thing that is going to get this story going.
