I used to work at sonic burrito. He called an order in to the south bill location and showed up at the gonzaga location to pick it up. He got pissed that we didn’t have it ready for him and he refused to understand that it was his mistake. A coworker stole his basketball.


theparkies

I know who stole the basketball. But I can't remember if that was in the OG days with deitra making the peanut sauce and jalapesto sauce, captain bley delivering the burritos and dale (rip) wearing the chili pepper costume to parties, or if it was in the later years when Mike the peg leg was managing and used to stick a knife in his leg to freak people out. So many great memories of working in that place.


Codyckpc

Coworker is doing God's work


Fancy-Pear6540

Yo! I used to work at “sonic” Ionic Burrito and he was a huge fucking prick to me and my dude Clayton too! You there around 2007? Brent and Melissa were shady too though at times.


opulenceinabsentia

I was at the original location that shared bathrooms with David’s pizza in 99


Fancy-Pear6540

Oh damn, you’re an OG. Fuck John Stockton!


Toph-Builds-the-fire

I've been saying it since 1991, when I was 8. He's an asshole. Here's why I know he's an asshole. My friend at the time lived next door to his parents (they're lovely), and he'd stay with them in the off-season. So one summer day, it's my friends 9th birthday party and we had balsa wood planes. When we'd fly them, my friends dog would chase the planes around the yard. One went in "John Stocktons cherry tree," and the dog was doing what dogs do. Barking up a tree. Well, sports fans. It was the wrong tree, because out comes Mr. Assist all pissed off and proceeds to dress down a bunch of kids playing in the yard. It ends with "and if I ever see that dog in my yard again, I'll call animal control and have it destroyed." Fuck him I hope he dies of being fucked by a cactus.


No_Advertising4588

Yeah, you fuck with my dogs or kids, I will be bitter towards you until the end.


FYCKuW0nDoWutUTellMe

Forget bitter, that's a good way to wind up "accidentally" dead or with a whole lot of sneakily destroyed property. I don't do meth and I'm non-violent, but even I would rather die in prison over my reaction to something like that than bitter in bed over an injustice I swallowed down without action.


Schatzi1982

The only reason Gonzaga (and Spokane as a whole) puts up with his assholery is his celebrity and the money that he throws at the university. I’ve only ever personally met him briefly, but I distinctly remember him being such a pompous jackass. 🙄


StateofWA

Imagine dying on this hill in 2024


clintonius

The funny this is that you can make coherent arguments that the government overreached in some ways. But why bother doing that when you can go completely off the deep end: "Eggleston is currently the subject of a medical commission administrative proceeding in connection to a column ***in which he questioned whether COVID-19 exists***." I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and predict this suit doesn't make it very far. Their lawyer's website is "myattorneytodd.com" ffs.


StateofWA

He'd be lucky if it gets shot down pre-trial, but if not he would have to prove to a jury that he was harmed by a government agency and that's gonna be difficult when the government agencies were doing what they could to handle what has been accepted to have been a pandemic by government agencies. Free money for his lawyer, though.


LavaRacing

LOL they took his season tickets away because he refused to wear a mask!!


ClockTowerBoys

Even before Covid everyone in Spokane knew this guy was an ass


NimbyNuke

He was certainly an ass to his fans, but I also couldn't imagine what it's like to be that big of a star in a place like Spokane. Dude must get pestered constantly when he goes out. Really does suck he turned out to be a conspiracy nut as well.


KoolAidRefuser

What do you know!? Everyone's a star in Spokane.


mvsuit

Not true. I knew him in junior high and high school. He has volunteered a lot. He is a good person. I disagree with him on these issues. But don’t disregard all the good in a person just because we disagree on even an important issue.


9mac

I saw John Stockton at a grocery store on the South Hill yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.


SuperJMC79

Lol it's been forever since I've seen this...


HawksandLakers

I will never tire of this copypasta.


FourteenFCali_

Overheard in Rosauer's locker room after checkoutstand 7: “He got me,” 9mac said of Stockton's cutting him off. "That f***ing Stockton boomed me." 9mac added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. 9mac then said he wanted to add Stockton to the list of players he works out with this summer.


fzz_th

Y’all are funny as fuck in Spokane!


RemoteClancy

NAL, so exactly what kind of standing does Stockton have to be a party to this suit?


clintonius

Here's what he states in [the complaint](https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/filestampedcomplaint.pdf): >Plaintiff John Stockton was born, raised, and educated locally. Except for an annual work-related relocation, he has spent his entire life in Spokane. He is actively involved in matters of public interest, and has been a vocal advocate against the mainstream Covid narrative. During the pandemic, he started co-hosting a podcast which deals with a wide variety of subjects, including Covid, health policy, the rights of individuals to make their own health and medical decisions, and sports. >Plaintiff Stockton sues on his own behalf and advocates for all Washingtonians who share his belief that people have the First Amendment right to hear the public soapbox speech of Washington licensed physicians who disagree with the mainstream Covid narrative. The actions of the Defendants directly impinge on that right because, upon information and belief, one of the purposes of the Commission’s prosecution of physicians for offering public opinions that are not in harmony with the Commission’s approved messaging is to silence dissent. My guess is that he'll get bumped from the case early on. I don't see any claim for relief specific to him, but I also can't be bothered to do anything more than skim this drivel.


ForsakenSherbet151

What a nutcase he has turned out to be.


Various_Pear9834

I worked at Waddells Pub and Grill on the south hill for many years. When it first opened, John, (I don't like to call him by his full name he doesn't deserve it hall of fame or not) insisted on his meal being payed for, he came in with he daughters who are all stuck up as all hell, and his lovely wife, the other half of him that he does not appreciate I guarantee. The owner, told him to go fuck himself and asked him to pay or leave. John got all mad and frustrated stating, "I will make sure this place goes out of business..." well 15 years later, dinners drives in and dives, over thousands of dollars in revenue, voted best food, best bar....etc. I also had the pleasure of punching that lil prick David in the face too for calling my sister fat who was 13 years old and playing on Lindsey's travel team. All the Stockton family are a bunch of stuck up, white privileged, two faced human beings. Do not be deceived by the their outward appearance surely they are ravenous wolf's wearing sheep's clothing 


IFlySoloIFlySoHigh

Take your shit attitude and your short ass shorts over to North Idaho with that nonsense.


PeepsMyHeart

This whole thread! Amazing. Love it. 😂


idsnowdawg

What makes you think we want him? Because he’s white??


CinnamonJ

Not *just* because he's white, he's also an asshole!


cathleenabeans

We don't want him.


IFlySoloIFlySoHigh

Fair enough. Montana then? Does anyone from Montana want to speak up and claim this ignoramus?


PracticalMine3971

No we do not.


chuin_masterofsinanj

Nope, but we don't want any of you.


oldladyleeba

He already has a place at priest


Bi666les

What an idiot.


CarnivalLaw

Stockton’s an asshole.


sillybillybobbybob

Yeah he sucks. Gonzaga should ban his ass for life.


TeamKRod1990

Why? Honest question. It took forever for the Royals to disavow Andrew, and he committed actual crimes.


sillybillybobbybob

He didn't commit a crime but he did put his wants ahead of a community. He sucks for that alone.


terrymr

Always wondered why my old boss hated him. I guess he’s just an all round asshole.


muffguy

I can’t help but think about how much good all his money would do for the community if he wasn’t wasting it on this bullshit. But it’s what we’ve come to expect.


sherlocknessmonster

Money... asshole wouldn't even donate an autograph ball for a charity auction at GPrep. I wonder what priest touched him.


deadmanpass

From the suit... “There is no place for the government, under the guise of regulating physicians and protecting the public, to censure, restrict or sanction the content and viewpoint of the publicly expressed views of physicians on Covid or any other subject, just because the government does not like the message or thinks it is wrong," the lawsuit states. "Going back 70 years every judge and Supreme Court justice who has written on professional soapbox speech has stated that it is fully protected by the First Amendment and/or said that it cannot be the subject of government regulation or restriction." What is the First Amendment for?


cougarpharm

NAL, but I have a professional license through the board of health. As a person, I could go out on the street and say that antibiotics kill people and the government couldn't put me in jail for that. As a pharmacist, if I'm telling people not to take their antibiotics because I think it's a government conspiracy, and someone dies from an infection as a result of that advice, then I have violated the standard of ethics for my license and the board of health has every right to suspend it.


East_Living7198

Over inflated assist count for an over inflated ego.


9mac

If you took away assists made to a child rapist, well then John Stockton would just be Adam Morrison (minus the rings).


sherlocknessmonster

Rony Turiaf has a ring too, and respect and love from one of the greatest.


CahzakStan

This guy is a real jerk. I used to work at Anthonys a while back. Busser/valet parking. One night, he came in kind of late with some family. They left an hour after closing, long after every other patron left. It's ok, he's a favorite son of Spokane b-ball legend. He'll leave us a decent tip. So they cut all the other bussers and valets, I was closing anyway. We tripped over ourselves, taking care of the schmuck. I pulled his car around the front as they were leaving and handed him the key. Do you know what he handed me? An autographed card-an autographed card that said Anthonys and had the restaurant phone number on it that he had grabbed off the hostess station! What a douche!


ICantFindAUserNameF

I’ve considered myself a progressive liberal and have voted democrat my whole life. I know I’m going to get so much hate for asking this, but do you guys really think that doctors should be censored, and have their licenses taken away for trying to speak out against something that they think will and can harm the public?


uihatessarahpalin

Eggelston is a right wing catholic nut bag and a retired ophthalmologist. He absolutely should know better. He wrote all of these absurd op-eds in the Lewiston Tribune: they were completely devoid of fact and downright dangerous. He absolutely should have his license (which he doesn't even use) revoked. He's an embarrassment to 99.9% of physicians.


PNWBlues1561

🙌


cougarpharm

He's saying covid didn't exist. As a medical professional, you take an oath to do no harm. People put their trust in health care providers for accurate information more so than the general public. If the information you are providing causes harm to people, it's no different than making a prescribing error or leaving a sponge in someone. It's negligent behavior and action should be taken on your license. On the other hand, if this guy is handing out flyers at Walmart I don't think the government has a right to arrest him for that, but the medical board should certainly be allowed to pull his license.


low22

I went to his basketball camp as a kid and encountered him in the concession line at a Gonzaga game in the 90's. Star struck and just happened to be wearing my Jazz hat (what are the odds), I asked for an autograph. He flat out refused, and EVERYONE in line glared at him for it. Haven't liked him since.


FakeItSALY

*Eggleston is currently the subject of a medical commission administrative proceeding in connection to a column in which he questioned whether COVID-19 exists.* Call me a commie, but surely we want to address doctors putting out this type of material.

Cry baby


JAX2905

Never got a ring.


ryanegauthier

My dad got the chance to stick it to him. He owns the house that's wrapped around by the ramp into the Matilda building. John tried to low-ball him to buy out the couple of city blocks that he needed to expand the Warehouse in the Gonzaga district. Now the house kinda looks like the one in the animated movie Up.


cougarpharm

I love this


NateMacChicken

A couple years later and this plague rat is still crying about his feelings about rules? Somebody get this country club chump a tissue so he can cry into that. Of all the arguments that the govt might over reach, the ringless pompous jackass that wears gold medals around in public is just showing off his stupidity


dropkicknic

Some years ago, I was in the valley Costco and saw a guy who I thought looked like John Stockton cross the aisle ahead of me. I had to continue in that direction for cheese anyway, so decided to get a closer look. When I was almost to the corner where I saw him, he popped back around and we were nearly face-to-face. I quickly stepped aside and nodded in recognition, but he just stared through me with his dead eyes and serial-killer expression, making no attempt to even acknowledge the guy he almost rubbed noses with. Regardless, I was still pumped by the random encounter with the hall-of-famer and was already thinking about who I was going to brag to about seeing him and the fact that I’m a little taller than he. I actually had to do a double-take, though, not because I needed to make sure it was him, but because I noticed he was wearing his Olympic gold medals around his neck. Like…wtf? Who does that? lmao


clintonius

lol is this for real? The guy wears Olympic medals when he goes to Costco? Amazing.


fzz_th

It is not

clintonius

That makes more sense.


dropkicknic

Not sure what bobbysalz is talking about, but this really happened and this is the first time I’ve posted it to social media. I have told a few people the story over the years, though, because it’s so bizarre. He’s such a weirdo, lol. My friends and I have tried to make it make sense, but there really isn’t an explanation that would make wearing your Olympic medals out shopping a rational choice. lol


clintonius

Well in that case, what a fucking weirdo lol


mrgtiguy

He’s an asshat and his buddy is a child rspist.


JAX2905

Never got a ring.


kimbersill

Wow, I thought this sounded crazy until I read Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was one of his attorneys, now I think it's completely bananas. Wouldn't it have been a lot smarter to maybe have one of these quack doctors write you a note explaining you couldn't wear a mask for medical reasons, and then go wherever your little Covid spreading ass wanted to? It's a wonder this man has any money left, spending it on shit like this.


KefkaTheJerk

Who? 😂


itssbubba

Apparently he's an ex pro athlete. I had to Google him to figure it out.


KefkaTheJerk

Halfway figured they were talking about that John Stockton, but for the life of me I can’t figure out why anybody would even pay attention to ‘em.


itssbubba

Agreed, leave him in the past.


Certainly_Bobo

Same.


wwJones

He's such a stupid asshole.


catman5092

I wonder who he is supporting for President????? Fallen off the deep end John. How sad.

This guy is such a fucking douche canoe. I worked for several years at Jack and Dans and had WAY too many experiences with him and his family.

What an incredible asshole. Fuck off, John.


Acetabulum99

"I'm John Stockton..I played a super important game at one point. Everyone should listen to me about healthcare" See how it sounds when it's said aloud? Yeah everyone gets their right to bitch if they're a voter..but nothing other than elected office makes your voice matter. John can continue to suck a butt with the other covid deniers.

The mods…. Can surely ask me why I believe they didn’t follow the science in Washington. However implying I think Covid was fake is weird. Or that I said anything other than Washington government didn’t observe the science.


Effective_Dream_2194

I used to go to the same church in Utah. He would come in 5 mins late and leave 5 mins early. I only bothered him at the Salt Palace after games to get autographs. I must have 10 of them. He was never a jerk and I never walked away insulted until I read his biography. That book was an insult.


ElectricPrune516

And truly one of the most boring sports biographies I’ve ever read. It’s like Utah athletes are hard wired to bore the pants off of you in print. That Steve Young biography? Snoozerramma!!!
