At some point Brother Charles purportedly told someone else to ask me to disavow any association, so this blog is now about my experiences and what SHOULD be covered by TOUCH 106.1 FM but which are not. I am critical of the station and of Brother Charles so this blog is covered by Fair Use. Visit KingCast.net/Chris King's 1st Amendment Page: Reel news for real people.

KingCast smiles as Madden, Electronic Arts are sacked by 6,000 former NFL players, "reverse curse???"
Here's today's NPR story noting that the players are suing because the Madden game uses their likenesses (with minor, insignificant variation) for commercial gain. That's a no-no of the no-brainer kind. The writing is on the wall, from this $28M Jury Verdict 2007-2008 case against the NFL Players Association that went into overtime when the players sued their attorneys for not finding a way to introduce the crucial emails between NFL and EA as noted in the first link. And after that case, my hometown hero and arguably the greatest running back of all time followed suit, he's a fella' by the name of Jim Brown. Anyway here's part of the email chain from these dirtbags:
For all retired players that are not listed... their identity must be altered so that it cannot be recognized [by Madden players]... Hence, any and all players not listed... cannot be represented in Madden 2002 with the number that player actually wore, and must be scrambled.
KingCast asks Cousin Mike: is this the Reverse Curse LOL Cuz.....
TOUCH 106.1 FM claims to be community-minded and to recognize the universal need for social, legal, political and economic fairness for all people.
To that end, TOUCH 106.1 FM has sponsored events or worked with many organizations and corporations.
.......... However, ultimately, the Station does not support any continued and intensive investigation into troubling socio-political issues.
......I was a co-host of many evening drive-time shows called "TOUCH Beat" that received little to no support from Brother Charles, a former Law Enforcement Officer as am I. For some reason, however, he often acts like a gatekeeper but I push the issues with color commentary and in-court video.
C'est la vie.
