The origins of the horrible Don James rumor spreading online

"Kim (Grinolds) said the word on the sideline is that Don James has passed, but we haven't been able to confirm it."

- Chris Fetters in Dawgman.com chat 10/19/13

Speaking for myself, I received a text from a booster, plus I figured that kind of thing would not be mentioned by Fetters/Grinolds unless it WAS confirmed. And I foolishly assumed it to be true, and made some sorrow-filled comments on this message board and called a former player I am friends with to let him know.

Shame on Dawgman for spreading rumors again, and shame on me for not confirming it and being reactionary.
 
It's disgusting and Kim should lose his fucking access for using James as a decoy for the fire Sark crowd.

Just distasteful and I didn't even think Kim would stoop so low. Like I said in another thread this is even beneath Roof Robbins.
 
It was either Fetters who was dumb enough to run with it on chat on his own or Kim who was classless enough to TELL Fetters to run with it on chat. Either way, this is a watershed moment of idiocy on the part of Dawgman.
 
You don't just float out shit like a legendary coach has died unless you fucking know 100%.

I haven't seen one media outlet report this yet. Just a terrible way to sling the James family through this bullshit.
 
If this is a ploy to distract the posters from UW's performance, and it's determined that the rumors are false, Kim and Fatters need to be FIRED!!!!

To mention it in the fashion they did warrants a massive fucking beat-down, regardless if it's true

Agree. Just pitiful job by Kim there. I don't see how anyone can still support this clown. James deserved way better.
 
I left a message for coach James earlier this week and didn't hear back from him, which is very rare for him. Beyond that, I don't know anything other than the text I received and what Fetters said in chat.

I would hope that even Kim wouldn't stoop that low, but I can't be sure. Kim and Fetters needed to be fired long ago. This one will piss off the University, former players and coaches, members of the media, and most importantly, Don James' family. It will be tough for doogman to live this one down. There's a reason there has not been a report that Don James has died. Either his family does not want to release the news yet, or he is still alive. Kim and Fetters are pieces of shit for releasing the info the way they did.

This is why either way they are fucking wrong. You let his family announce it. Personally more so than ever I hope James is alive.

Could be a good night. We saw the end of Sark, could be the end of Baird after his tantrum and could be the end of Doogman.

Like you said several people will be pissed off at Kim and his "sources". We have all the screenshots that we need.
 
Kim Grinolds is the biggest (for a little person) piece of shit associated with UW Football. This guy is a fucking disgrace. "The cancer won." Shut the fuck up you narcissistic midget piece of shit.
 
Side note, if people were smart, they would send E-Mails en masse about Baird and his tirade on air. You can disagree all you'd like and even say the caller doesn't know what he's talking about, but his tone was unprofessional and childish. I wouldn't want him running one of the most popular weekly segments on my station

This has legs. Even though Chest upset Softy and Millen they had to defend him as they knew that was a nightmare. With Baird calling out the fans and his tone was very terrible.

His one air tantrum was embarrassing and if I was running KJR I would let him know that was his last show.
