Nick Wright gets fact checked

[Titty Meat]

And today claims he's going to sue another blogger for libel ROFL

[Mojo Jojo]

How funny is it Greg Hall and Nick are in a pissing match. Hall is a much worse hack than Nick and that is saying a lot.

[Bowser]

The replies are pretty good.

[BossChief]

someone should retweet to Nick his tweet about how it had nothing to do with an injury.

[eazyb81]

Nick Wright is such a flaming douche nozzle.

[O.city]

Did anyone get to listen to what Wright had to say about the Baldwin Jones story yesterday?


He stated he had more info and nothing has come of it yet.

[Rams Fan]

Didn't Wright take credit for what Chiefs&O's Fans tweeted?

[blaise]

I doubt Nick checks every at tweet he gets. If he has 10K followers he probably gets them all day, and depending on the time of day or what he's doing he may not even look. If he's out and just wants to tweet something, he's not going to go and look through all his at tweets. (maybe he does, I'm just saying I would believe him if he says he doesn't)
He doesn't strike me as the kind that wouldn't RT a guy if he saw it. Not that I've given him scoops or anything but he's retweeted me before on stuff.
I give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't see the tweet and when it came to his attention he tweeted about the guy.

[Titty Meat]

Didn't Wright take credit for what Chiefs&O's Fans tweeted?

He always steals peoples shit. A few years ago I used to blog for fun and I wrote a little blurb about how we should go for Jared Gaither. He read what I said line for line as if it were his own thought. I didn't make a big deal out of it because it's a waste of time but yes Wright is notorious for stealing other peoples stuff.

[Brock]

I like how Nick chastized Adam Schefter for reporting it without crediting Nick.

[BigMeatballDave]

This guy sounds like a real cockbag.

[CrazyPhuD]

Twitter fight? Is that the modern day gym locker slap fight?

[Saulbadguy]

Sports journalists are hilarious.

[Stewie]

I can't stand Nick Wright. He's a loudmouth thug wannabe. He's a white-bread dumbass who went to fucking Barstow for god's sake! Barstow! He could be an actor if he didn't look like a Circus sideshow freak.

[Dylan]

GH: What’s this? Who is @WhiteMamba03? It turns out he is Luke Gassman, the guy who deserves credit for breaking this Baldwin/Jones story a full day before Wright claims to have broken it. What is even more problematic for Wright’s credibility is that @WhiteMamba03 has documented proof that he was the one who informed Wright of the story on Thursday.

LMAO

[Saul Good]

It's okay. Nick sent him a note that read:

"Dear gas man. Went to Aspin. Sorry about the tweet."

[kysirsoze]

Do guys that get tweeted at like Nick Wright really read all of their mentions? I know it looks kinda bad, but it's hardly conclusive.

[CaliforniaChief]

So if that's Nick's M.O., we ought to scoop him some nonfactual information and see him "take credit" for it.

I.E. The Flowers injury is much worse than anyone's letting on. Possible microfracture surgery.

And just see if he scoops it.

Nick didn't know about @whitemamba03 till the day after he broke it or very shortly afterwards atleast. @whitemamba didn't @ him when he originally broke the story. And since Nick doesn't follow him and since he only has about 100 followers, no one knew of it from him.

[lcarus]

Since this thread is about sports media (kinda) I wanted to vent here. As I was listening to ESPN radio on my way home from work, I realized how much I ****ing HATE how people have to call a player a "football player" and a team "football team". We know what sport it is. That goes for coaches, players, and anyone involved in any media coverage or interview. Also...the National Football League. They can just shorten it to "the NFL" or "the league". Now excuse me, I must go pay my American Family Life Assurance Company bill.

"It's been brought to my attention"

ROFL no shit, Nick

[Jerm]

Nick Wright went from being about the only listenable thing on 610 when he first came along to being the biggest pretentious douchebag on K.C. radio, Keitzman and everyone else included.

The funny thing is, HE thinks he's a lot more popular and important than he really is...can't stand the fucking guy.

[CaliforniaChief]

It wouldn't be a big deal if 610 and all his buddies didn't make it a big deal that he had it first.

[Jerm]

It wouldn't be a big deal if 610 and all his buddies didn't make it a big deal that he had it first.

They're always doing shit like this...along with constantly taking cheap shots at 810.

It's one of those things where it's interesting and humorous at first but now it's just beyond old.

You apparently haven't seen the ratings that show 610 is now beating 810. And the gap is increasing.

[DeezNutz]

I don't believe this. Link?

All I've heard is that 610's ratings are fucking brutal. Hell, when Whitlock was doing his most recent bullshit with Wright, they both conceded that they got their asses kicked by Kietzman.

[Titty Meat]

The station has KU sports, Royals baseball, and Jim Rome. They are competing against a guy who talks about fucking bbq's and his golf game. I'd hope they would have higher ratings but it's not something to brag about.

well during chiefs seasons....doesn't 810 have press rights to the Chiefs, while 610 doesn't.

with that said, 610 has better reporting, given there is no real business relationship like there is w/ 810.

That's true but it's basically a repeat of 101 The Fox's post game show hosted by Danny Clinksdale. Not exactly worth tuning in for.

[Okie_Apparition]

Hello, you're on the air with Fred Phelps. What's your question

[BigRedChief]

FTR, I've never passed on anything from Nick Wright.

sad...how close are you two?
sec

[Saul Good]

1. Kietzman sucks

2. Wright sucks worse

3. Wright's numbers are inflated because he often gets bumped for Royals games during his time slot which draw about double the ratings that Wright gets. Because ratings are based on time slots, Wright takes credit for this.

4. Kietzman's ratings still kick the shit out of Wright's, especially among key demo's

5. 610 calls themselves the most listened to sports station in KC because more people tune into Royals games than anything else. Therefore, more total people listen to 610 at some time in their lives than any other station.

[Bambi]

I want to like Nick Wright's show but I can't stand single host talk radio. It's so boring. Mike Francesa has never been the same after Dog left.

That's why even though there's a lot of garbage to sift through I usually listen to Petro and KK during the week.

3. Wright's numbers are inflated because he often gets bumped for Royals games during his time slot which draw about double the ratings that Wright gets. Because ratings are based on time slots, Wright takes credit for this.



Ahhhhhh, good point

[Saul Good]

To be fair, Nick makes it pretty clear that he knows the ratings are bullshit and that there's a directive from higher up that everyone is to refer to 610 as the most listened to sports station in KC. He's pretty sheepish about it.

[BWillie]

You apparently haven't seen the ratings that show 610 is now beating 810. And the gap is increasing.

Somebody posted a graph showing it a few months ago probably in one of these 810 vs 610 debates. I couldn't believe it either because everybody seems to tout 810 as the leader.

[Gonzo]

So if that's Nick's M.O., we ought to scoop him some nonfactual information and see him "take credit" for it.

I gotta go with Saul's idea on this one. The Royals games pump up the ratings. It can't be the shows, they are just awful.

Nick Wright's dad is suing a blogger for reporting untrue information. Irony?

I don't listen to Nick Wright but if a non-journalist tips him a story and he breaks it over the waves then he broke it. Journalists have sources. That tweet is essentially a source.

[Saul Good]

WHB kicks their asses from October through March. 610 jumps up every April when baseball starts, but their numbers dwindle as the Royals fall further out of contention. This isn't rocket science.

More people listen to Kietzman's dumb ass than listen to Wright's dumber ass, and it's not particularly close. It's 3:2 or more in the key demo's.

[Saul Good]

especially when shortly before, he tweeted that the reason Baldwin was missing had NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY INJURY.

Put it like this, if you were a journalist...would you trust some guy with 90 followers who likely has NO connection with the team? I mean, Baldwin fighting Jones is pretty far fetched. I'd think Nick did a little more homework before throwing it out there.

Sex toys convention at the team hotel prior to a Chiefs @ Heinz game a few years back. The Chiefs rolled over and got destroyed.

Then wouldn't passing on the information without crediting the source be a brand of stealing?...that is unless the source wanted to remain anonymous...where it would be printed as "________ this information was given to us by a source that chooses to remain anonymous." or "a team source stated that..."

That's the proper way of doing things, isn't it?

Maybe steal it was a bit over the top, but this seems like a brother or sister of theft to me.

[Phobia]

Nick Wright is doing the legwork by being on the radio every single day becoming known and making himself available to report tips. Nobody credits random tips unless the source wants to be quoted. Most don't. They want to stay out of it. JoeBlow tweeter isn't somebody you source on the air. Presumably Nick got the tweet and confirmed it through other means. That's doing legwork.

I get the "I broke it" brag. It means you have solid sources and you're working hard. It doesn't matter to 99% of listeners but I understand why guys boast about breaking news.

For me, I wouldn't source a random twitter pseudonym. If a guy were using his given name for his twitter u/n I'd source him. That's the difference for me. I'm not saying I'm the authority on this rule, that's just my comfort level. I'm not really a journalist though. I'm a hobbyist. An amateur, if you will.

It's overrated amongst the journalism community, that's for sure. I'm the tiny fish in a community with 3 newspapers. But the big guy always plays like they were the only one on the scene or they were first or all this other stuff even when it's not true. It's mostly insecurity, I'd venture. These guys aren't really paid a whole lot and most of their shows are a bunch of bluster. Of course they make it about themselves. It's a common theme across the lot of them. It is what it is and nothing is going to change it. It's especially common in this town because the Chiefs are pretty tight-lipped and they won't hesitate to throw you out if you cross them.

I first heard him when he was on in the evening, like 6-8. That was about 4 years ago. He seemed like one of those guys that isn't all that good so they give them a show at 6 A.M. sunday morning or something. It's weird that now he's their flagship host.

610 keeps hiring Nike Wright clones from out of town who I assume see KC as a stepping stone to bigger markets. I guess that's the one thing I like about 810. They're all from here, and they know the history of the local teams.

Alright... we know it's you, Nick.

The problem is the 810 guys have gotten way to comfortable. Kietzman thinks he can just roll in, do golf talk and Smoke N Fire commercials and people are just going to eat it up. I was listening to Kietzman one day and it was like 4:30 and he wanted to look something up, so he goes, "Let me turn on the computer here...give me a minute....haven't even turned on the computer all day." Really? That just tells me you're just taking the audience for granted.

I don't think criticizing KK is wrong. But I do think you're making a leap with your assumption there.

Oh, I agree. KK has become what he used to make fun of Don Fortune for being.

Who scooped who is important, and I disagree with most on here who say it's only important to the journalists. I would bet that most people here when looking for say, Chiefs news, go to certain places first on the internet that have proven to be quicker up to date and accurate than others.

edit: and seriously, the REPOST police on this board only give credence to the fact that who delivers the news first owns it and everybody else should **** off.

Nick Wright sucks his own dick it would be no surprise to tune in one day only to hear him sucking his own dick on air.

It's just my opinion and the feeling I get when I listen to him. I don't know the man personally and I don't know what he does during the day, but I get the impression he's been coasting. And I had felt that way before I heard him talk about his computer; hearing him say what he said just sort of amplified it for me. And I feel like the Smoke N Fire segments in drive time are inexcusable. It comes across as a paid program where you hear Kietz and Danny slobber over a bunch of food on air. Maybe some people like it, but I don't know if I've ever heard someone say they like it.

I think his best asset is that he's a good salesman. I think the pitch he does for his sponsors on his reads is better than anyone else on sports radio in KC.

Dude rails against white privilege at every turn but doesn't want to acknowledge that he's not sitting in that chair if his parents hadn't made sacrifices in their lives so that he could have every opportunity to succeed. His ass has been bailed out of more than a few messes in his time.

Maybe I don't listen to his show enough, but I never got that impression.
