Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver was on KTAR (620 AM) Friday afternoon. As the interview concluded he engaged in some off-color banter with co-host John Gambadoro. The dialogue was sexual in nature and completely inappropriate, not only for an afternoon talk show but for the owner of a professional sports team.
I could just imagine a father taking his kids to the game, tuning in to the team’s flagship station and hearing Sarver discuss topics that are better suited for Howard Stern and satellite radio.
I also thought: Jerry Colangelo never would say anything like that.
A piece of advice, Robert. You’re not 14 years old. Think before you talk.

Sarver and Colangelo should never be mentioned together. We went from the most respected, professional owner to the least. Sarver takes his family to be on show and waves a foam finger. How many players have felt disrespected because of SARVER. No one besides Antonio McNugget ever screwed the “Don” of hoops Jerry Colangelo.
Owning a team doesn’t make one a gentleman any more than being able to shoot a ball makes one a hero. Unfortunately, we often falsely attribute a whole host of characteristics to a person based on one facet. (Like why is it that good-looking people can somehow be able to act, sing and dance, too?)
Quit being so judgmental fools. You PC idiot elitist who want to sit back and judge everyone. Sarver is is more successful than you can even hope to become. If Sarver or anyone else wants to participate in off-color banter that is his right and just shut up with your comments.
Oh, God almighty. The Suns have already streaked to two wins straight over the Lakers, and now Robert has to go and make an comment that might jeopardize the Suns playoffs hopes already?! Like Sports Illustrated or ESPN has it written: the Suns have playoff potential to win a championship, but when some odd, bizarre misfortune occurs, probably like this one, it blows them all out of the desert. UNBELIEVABLE.
Just another example of how bad this ownership is. If Sarver is talking this trash then he is probably playing footsies on the side. It goes hand in Hand.He is an embarrasment. I feel sorry for his kids and of course his wife.
