[edit] Biased/Point of View?
this line: While generally not as flamboyant as radio play-by-play man and infamous homer John Sterling, seems quite biased to me. who decides what is "flamboyant" or that someone is a "homer" ? I would like to see the line removed or edited.--68.193.18.140 00:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)ConcernedUser4953829
It's easy to label John Sterling a homer. He is exactly that. He's probably flamboyant too. Infamous, however, is more a matter of opinion. Is he really infamous? I don't really think so.
I deleted alot of the very opinionated things written about the Michael Kay show. They were negative and I for one am a fan of the show and the part of this article written about the show is obviously written by someone who is not.
[edit] NPOV, 7 September 2006
- "While generally not as flamboyant or incompetent as radio play-by-play man John Sterling..."
- "best known for his cloying "See-ya!"
- "Lately Kay has given that up after being universally mocked as overly pretentious and insufferable."
- "Also, the further Kay is removed from Sterling, the better his style becomes"
- "As Kay matures as a broadcaster, evidenced especially in his Centerstage series on YES, he has the potential to make a lasting mark on the medium. He would be wise to ignore the influences of incompetent, egomaniacal and self-serving boors like John Sterling and instead emulate another proud Fordham alumnus and arguably the greatest baseball announcer of all-time, Mr. Vin Scully."
Sheesh. You know, I don't like him that much either, but at least try to write articles NPOV.

[edit] Section "Work Ethic"
This sections needs to go. It is completely biased in favor of the subject and adds little to the overall article. 08:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Michael Kay Show
I would suggest noting after the paragraph about Neil Best's article, that Mike & The Mad Dog themselves (and also several other WFAN broadcasters) spent more time than anyone blasting CBS (their own boss) over the Imus firing. Therefore Kay may not be out of the running for that job, since CBS' own employees were criticizing them for weeks.
A hero and idol to many yankee fans?
Does this have any business on the page (not to mention Yankee isn't capitalized).
Here is Kay's finest work:

Kay was rather upset on his show today, and rightfully so, about the "suspension". There was no source, and things like this need to be removed as gross violations of WP:BLP. -- Avi 04:52, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Massive BLP issues
The second half of this article was nearly one long WP:BLP violation. People, please bring sources for controversial statements, or they will be removed per policy. Thank you. -- Avi 05:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suspension
Unless you have a source for the accusation of the suspension, you cannot add it to the article. Please post a link, or at the very least a reference, to somewhere in a reliable and verifiable source for that claim. Otherwise it is a WP:BLP violation, it will be reverted, and measures will be taken to protect the integrity of the wikipedia project. -- Avi 18:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Just a reminder. Preventing WP:BLP and reverting vandalism (including removal of properly sourced information are not subject to WP:3RR limits. -- Avi 18:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
