My Official Response to John Kincade Calling Me “Stuck-Up” and “Entitled”

I was the target of a vicious ad hominem attack on 97.5 the Fanatic:

Now hold on just a minute!

Let’s check the tape, from the original article, titled: RADIO BORES: 97.5 the Fanatic Had the Worst “Major Station Announcement” of All Time –

That was it? That was the announcement? I guess it’s nice for Fanatic listeners to get the opportunity to go down to South Philly and participate in this thing, but this is like your kid saying “dad watch this! dad watch this!” and you look over and they end up doing some half-assed cartwheel.

That looks like me admitting that the knock out tournament is a nice event for Fanatic listeners! I just didn’t think it qualified as a “major station announcement.” A major station announcement would be Mikey Miss coming back for a third time, or 97.5 taking the Eagles rights from WIP, or Tom Byrne punching a cab driver (allegedly). Kincade would have you believe I’m sitting in the ivory tower (in Lansdale, of all places), and looking down upon the Delaware Valley’s common fans.

I have been called many things over the years, but “entitled” is not one of them. I went to Boyertown High School and West Virginia University, so not exactly Malvern Prep to Villanova. Kincade, a Cardinal O’Hara guy, probably thinks I’m transferring money out of the trust fund while simultaneously thumbing my nose at the Plebeian Sixers fans. My first car was a 1994 Nissan Altima that already had 200,000 miles on it! (It made it to 230k.)

Crossing Broad is a blue collar blog for blue collar fans. Power to the people! And John Kincade still owes me a breakfast burrito:

p.s. – let’s not act like going down to the Sixers games with a credential is some amazing privilege. You have to watch the Sixers!* And the view from press row can be shit. Your sight is always blocked by the Chick-fil-A cow, or the dance team, or whatever circus act is currently getting ready to go onto the court. Plus, that lady never stops screaming at the opponents’ bench. “SIT DOWN BENCH WARMERS! SIT ON THAT BENCH!” Over and over and over again. Not sure if she’s still there or not, but holy shit was it annoying.
