Hey, Keitz — ever think that maybe KMBC focused on Kansas and Missouri because that newscast was sandwiched between a nationally televised KU game and a nationally televised Mizzou game?
If I wanted to hear a whiner, I’d listen to my sick dog.
emmett
Hey Old Man Kissel you better go over and rub down KK he sounds a little mad and wait till 610 works his ass in the ratings,Soren will leave and all thats left is grampa Jack and we all know he is a total douchebag,a little more trivia and BBQ talk that crap factory is over K State never won anything and never will…….. Swallow Old Man Kissel mycomentsare over you old loser. 610 kills 810 again
SM
Hamblin is correct – men do not dress up for Halloween. And I’d bet my next paycheck that Cowboy has never had sex with a woman. At least not without paying.
Old Man Kissel
KK had some very insightfull comments. No wonder he’s No.1. Emmett, you might want to go back to the Entercom basement with the rest of the trolls.
810 scoops 610 once again!
jojo
KK…wheres that girl that gave you the hummer
in the back of the car in mission hills?
Oh…you married her? She’s your wife? She
roots for KU? She’s dressing up for Halloween?
wow…..how interesting!!
Ptolemy
KK may be intentionally inflammatory, but he’s right on this issue. Channel 9 had Kornacky interviewing a goddam UK kicker for chrissake. What Ch. 9 did was like doing a Lawrence-Columbia Rotary picnic dual remote when the Hyatt Skywalk disaster is happening in KC. News stations are supposed to be covering the news. UK and MU getting their hats handed to them was not the news of that Saturday. That shit happens nearly every week.
As for Kerkhoff’s dissing of KState in his weekly rankings, it’s relevant to point out that his rankings are not based on record or odds for where they’ll end up. They are HIS rankings — who HE thinks is the better team. If UK or MU were in KState’s position this week, he would have ranked them 4th (or higher) and left everybody else tied for 5th. That’s just the way it is at that paper.
Ptolemy
It’s also amusing to observe that the Star has to rely on pissing off KState fans in order to get them to read their paper’s coverage of their team. You ever read Kellis Robinette’s coverage? NOBODY responds. Robinette is Fredo to KState fans.
emmett
Old man Kissel was that you on KK’S hummer giving him the hummer you old fool 810 has gone by the wayside and is doomed for faliure, 97.3 joke,sold it.1510 hey got some cash buy your own radio show 810 sucks K State radio is way too boring wipe your mouth old man you got another sports jock too blow they are lining up for you.610 kills 810 and Old Man Kissels gets another tummy full of KK’S JUICE
nick
Greg, I agree 100% about your statement that KK gives the impression of K-State fans being “insecure, whiney and paranoid.”
(As does at least one blogger on this column.)
How hard is it to understand, Purple People?! Win ONE fu**ing game against OU, KU, MU or Nebraska, THEN more respect will be given. Win 2 of those games and your team will be playing at Arrowhead and you all shouldn’t give a Mike Shanahan’s ass what anybody thinks.
Old Man Kissel
Emmett, are you Chris, or are you Cowboy?
810 scoops 610 once again!
MrOlathe
PT-either you are KK or you are the one person in this world who actually believes him.
Cliffy
Keitzman is such a pantywaist. Did you hear how defensive he got yesterday when Trent Green teased him about watching “Glee” instead of the World Series? I thought KK was going to start crying. Hilarious.
Kissel … your act is old. 810 hasn’t scooped anybody lately. They’re not even trying.
emmett
Neither Old Man Kissel, I am a sports radio fan whomlikes good radio instead of the Don Fortune radio station same old milktoast crap,and boring idiotic rants.For one who cares bout the weak Big 12 north they all suck and will get beat by 40 in the Big 12 title game,810 was ok till they Rome was taken away lost there ass with the royals and now they are just horrible Stump the Chumps come on how idiotic is that.They got Pete ill ask trivia from the late 30’s Enich, get serious bro they all suck and you mind there zippers wipe it off and get real bye bye old man 610 kills 810 and old man kissel still swallows

Brian
Emmett, Do you make more sense when you call in to radio shows as you do when you try to write? Your unreadable ramblings are nearly as illiterate as trying to read Kellis write about K-State in the Star.
As for KK’s rant, I don’t necessarily agree with Kerchoff’s rankings…at this point, there are 3 teams at the top, 2 teams on the bottom, and 7 others that would all be less than a 3 pt spread against each other on a nuetral field.
The Ch. 9 broadcasat however, was a joke. You have 2 huge stories of the Big 12 north, with IA State winning in Lincoln for the first time since the Carter Administration, and K-State winning handily to lead the North by 2 games. You instead choose to spend several minutes interviewing a kicker who’s team just got drilled by 30 points.
Uncle Dick
Mangino and the phrase “lighten up” in the same sentence? Sort of like a Walmart in Independence
saying “We don’t sell Drano and acetone”.
KU is going to have Mangino wear a green jacket so they can start beaming advertising on his back during TV broadcasts. New slogan for the Sunflower State-
“Kansas- Bigger than our Coach”
Inexpensive Halloween costume for KK-tie a spud to your pud and go out as a dicktater. He and the Mrs. can play bobbing for tater tots.
Medical marijuana can be obtained in Colorado for malaise. Explains KSU’s win over the Buffs.
Ptolemy
The most entertaining part of this season, aside from watching UK, MU, and NU fans backpedal like bitches after throwing their chests out all year long is seeing them keep doing it after last week’s collective debacles. They still believe their respective teams have better odds than KState does to win the North.
This is fun for us to watch.
DannyMac
Poor Greg Hall must be a masochist of the highest order to willingly listen to that much KC sports radio. Please, Greg, see a mental health professional posthaste.
emmett

MrOlathe
Brian-perhaps the two old ladies from Airplane who speak jive could help you out.
Cliffy
Get a clue, Brian. Journalism is dead. Channel 9 covered KU and MU because their games were back to back on ABC. Plus, the percentage of the audience interested in KState pales in comparison to MU and KU. It’s promotion. It’s got nothing to do with the day’s big stories. Stop whining.
MrOlathe
And for the KSU fans who can’t get over the fact that channel 9 showed KU & MU stories instead of KSU & Nebraska. Do you really think they should focus on Nebraska over KU & MU? Really?
Collective Noses
Dang it…I haven’t been able to catch much sports radio this week. I cherish the KK breakdowns. So much drama…..
Again….K-State fans stop whining….if your team keeps winning eventually everyone will take notice.
Old Man Kissel
Emmett, now you’re telling people they should kill themselves???
You meltdown is getting better and better…..
810 scoops 610 once again!
Mike
Old Man Kissel has to be KK.
Old Man Kissel
Nope, I’m just a 810 fan. No more, no less.
810 scoops 610 once again!

rick

Get a freakin job on the game show network or go top a bar with a trivia contest if you want to play games. And 610 has the same issue with their 6 in 10 segment. But at least its not an ENTIRE FREAKIN SHOW!!!!!
emmett
Sorry Paul don’t want toogoout like LJ, but old man kissell with his 810 scoops crap islike going down on them get over it,610 kills that station,KK is a freaking loser who thinks he is the best that ever talked sports.When is the last time they ever broke a story,610 had the LJ suspension 10 full minutes befor the Hardees thick burger crew.Thats all I am saying,610 rea sports 810 old Don Fortune radio.
Old Man Kissel
810 scoops 610 once again!

Kissel=Yawn
Old Man Kissel
810 scoops 610 once again!!

According to the urban dictionary – White guilt is a belief among white liberals that being white is, in and of itself, a great transgression against the rest of the world for which one must spend their life making atonement. It is often exemplified by embracing the cultures and philosophies of various other ethnic groups while neglecting one’s own roots.
emmett
Hey that is it I have had enough.Never get me confused with some Liberal panty waist idiot,thanks for the time 610 kills 810 once again.Oh and what time is the paid BBQ hour on let me know ok.
Paul
I find it DAMN hilarious that some of you get so bent over KK or just about anybody else on the radio just because they have an opinion that differs from yours. Like Greg, to me KK is nothing more than listening to a guy making an ass out of himself at times and the funniest part of that is that KK himself doesn’t even realize it. Certainly no reason to hate the guy.
rick
I think I’ve made it clear. I HATE trivia contests.
KK…….I strongly dislike people that are fake. So to hear KK blast Brett after his golf course rant. Then have him on the show and kiss up to him. Then the next day when he is off the show…blast him again. Well gee is that not the perfect example of every office suck up two face person we have encounter in our lives? Keitzman and his arrogance, condescending know it all attitude. He just represents everything that most people don’t find admirable.
I am farrrrrrrrrrrrrr from a being a perfect person. But one thing I am is pretty straight up. So when I DON’T see that quality in someone else then I tend to dislike their behavior.
I quite frankly don’t listen to KK so I have no idea if we differ in opinions.
Kent
If Channel 9’s mission was to cover the Big 12 North, KK would have a point. But I don’t think they see it as their job to cover the biggest stories in the Big 12 North, it’s to cover the biggest stories in the KC Metro. Saturday, that was KU taking on Oklahoma and Mizzou taking on Texas in games that were, incidentally, broadcast on Channel 9.
JimmyD
What was the family emergency which caused Cowboy to be gone for a week or so?
emmett
I think a death or serious illness back East.
Ptolemy
Kent, Manhattan is almost the exact same distance from KC that Columbia is, it’s actually almost 5 miles closer. Therefore, KState taking control of the Big 12 North race WAS a KC Metro story – that is if you are going to claim MU-Texas in Columbia is a Metro story.
emmett
Well maybe channel 9 wanted to cover what will be the Big 12 Champion not some 3rd rate team from the north which will get killed by 40 or more in the championship game.Its not that hard too figure out.KK is still a know it all wanna be ESPN or FOX sports guy.610 still kills the mediocre 810 trivia,burgers,grampa’s Pete and Jack old and tired R.I.P. 810
Old Man Kissel
810 scoops 610 once again.
John
What I find funny is all the hate for one guy. KK is the king of sports talk in this town…deal with it. I’m sure there were a lot of guys in New York who hated Mike and the Mad Dog or even Howard Stern when they became No.1 and would love nothing more for them to fail.
What I find interesting is that people think KK never received compitition. KK has beat all compitition that has come his way.
KK beat Fortune.
KK beat Fortune with Petro.
KK beat Fortune with Rose.
KK beat Fortune with Petro…again.
KK beat Petro.
KK beat Whitlock and Maas.
KK beat Whitlock.
KK beat Whitlock and Neal Jones.
KK beat Neil Jones.
KK beat Neil and Marty.
KK beat Neil….again!
KK is beating Chris and Cowboy.
KK and 810 beat 1340.
KK and 810 beat 1250.
KK is 14-0.
He’s the king of Sports talk….deal with it…
Dexter Morgan
King of sports talk in KC, what a joke. That’s like being the guy with the most quarters in a laundromat.
MrOlathe
Or the tallest midget.
jojo
wrong. For whatever problems all you have with
kietzman he’s an entertainer. Each of you is able to qoute his comments so obviusly you are
listening to his show..which is what the guy
wants…which is how his station makes money…
which is why he makes controversial comments so
you will get an emotion about what he says
about sports.
Kietman is the top sports talk personality in
kc. It’s like being the #1 restaurant in peculiar. He’s had no competition from an inept
and poorly managed entercom station (610) which
doesnt know shit about sports talk or running
a radio station period.
Besides that, the guy gets bj’s in cars while
married, get arrested for doing it…then marries
the girl who gave him the bj. You’ve got to feel
sorry for the guy having to go thru all that
for a bj. Must have been one heck of bj!
rick
John, I also understand that Kevin beats himself. Just because you are the top guy doesn’t mean you are a good guy. Remember Nixon won TWO presidential elections.
John
Rick, what does Richard Nixon have to do with anything? What does a President of the United States have to do with a local sports talk radio host? Do you also compare the Pope and Howard Stern?
And as for the myth that KK got a BJ in Prairie Village. I did a little research and found out that it’s not true. At least according to a Pitch article on 1/29/2004.
“From the moment he took the call from Wolverine Willie, Jason Whitlock’s substantial finger should have been poised to hang up. Only a couple of weeks earlier, Willie, a frequent caller to sports-talk radio shows, had been banned from Jim Rome’s Jungle for one of his signature parody songs. Rome and many of his followers thought the tune was anti-Semetic, and the host gave Willie the boot.
Even if Whitlock hadn’t known Willie’s reputation, the Kansas City Star columnist should have been wary when the frequent caller to his afternoon radio show, The Doghouse, began singing in a redneck drawl to the tune of Johnny Cash’s “I Walk the Line.”
“I keep my zipper wide open all the time,” Willie sang. “Arrested for performing an indecent crime.”
Another host might have cut off Willie at that moment. For the local horde that finds Kansas City sports-talk radio so absorbing, there was no question who was being attacked in Willie’s joke.
The target was Kevin Kietzman, Whitlock’s former colleague and boss at WHB 810. And Willie’s song was just the latest version of an urban legend that Whitlock himself had helped perpetuate — that late one night, Prairie Village police stopped Kietzman while he was driving home from an 810 function and caught him, literally, with his pants down.
In the version spread by Whitlock and his listeners, Kietzman, caught in a compromising position with a young coworker, barged out of his car with his pants around his ankles and berated police, asking them repeatedly whether they knew who he was.
“My family’s broken and in a state of disgrace, ’cause I left a stain on some poor girl’s face,” Willie crooned.
Whitlock roared with laughter.
Problem is, the story’s not true.
On the night of January 10, 2002, Prairie Village police did indeed pull Kietzman over. But that’s about all that the song — and the other stories — have right.
“He was not in any act,” says Lt. Wes Jordan of the Prairie Village Police Department. “He wasn’t naked. His pants weren’t around his ankles. He was given a field sobriety test to be sure he was OK, and he was.”
Kietzman drove off without even getting a ticket.”
Here’s the article about the myth.

John Here let me help you by spelling it out for you. You want to rant on and on about how Kevin has beat this person and that person blah blah blah which you believe makes Kevin king of sports talk radio. Blah blah blah.
My point which you apparently were unable to understand was that Richard Nixon won two elections and beat many other qualified candidates to do it. Much like Kevin has beaten other people. Seeeeeee get it. But just because Nixon won these elections doesn’t mean he was a good president. Just because Kietzman has beaten some folks in the ratings does not mean he is not a ego centric, insecure, and less then honorable person. Do u understand now?
So let me turn the question back around to u. What does K.K. alleged BJ have to do with his ability as a radio host? Why is a story from 2004 important? What’s next you are going to send me a clip of K.K.’s birth announcement from the Catholic school times?
Also this may shock you John. But police often will let so called celebrities off. Maybe they got an 810 shirt. Tell me John how are you going to explain these facts. K.K. left his wife for a young co-worker/intern? Or is that just a myth? Maybe its just an urban legend that K.K. would go to Vegas and engage in adult entertainment at some local brothel’s on the company dime?
Yeah John I think you need to find some new heroes. Because Kevin has a lot of mud on his soul both literally and figuratively. But hey he’s your KING huh?
See the bad part is some folks that write on this blog have worked with or for K.K. and we know him all to well.
John
Rick, let it go. He’s the King of Sports talk radio. People listen to his show. And the PV BJ story is not true. It’s myth from haters who want to see someone brought down.
As of his divorce, 60 percent of all marriages end in divorce. KK found someone who he loved more. End of story.
rick
KK found someone who loved his wallet more. John I think u are a GREAT poster but u are very naive. Instead of this being a cheating story its a story of Kevin finding true love. Geez
John
Rick, you make KK out to be Warren Buffet. People fall in and out of love all the time now. How do you know she doesn’t love him and not his wallet more? How do you know KK doesn’t love her?
Like I said, 60 percent of all marriages end in divorce. People cheat. So what’s news about that?
rick
The news is he is your king. And I’m just pointing out the emperor has no clothes on. But obviously a person’s character is no concern of yours. We agree to disagree.
Some people would be Michael Jackson fans if they saw video of him molesting young boys because “he’s talented”. For “me” his character would impact if I liked him or not, or supported him or not.
On my Oct 30th 4:21 post I pointed out why I dislike KK. No BJ’s mentioned. You like him cheater or not. Despicable person or not. Your business. Your choice. I choose something else.
