GH: Cross must not have walked onto the field because it was obviously anything but frozen. Many of the lawns in Kansas City are still green and more muddy than hard. Arrowhead’s turf has deserved plenty of criticism over the years but it looks to me like they finally have the field in decent condition for winter play.

Maybe I’m wrong, but the move to UF would be bizarre. … Hearing so many conflicting rumors on weis, it’s crazy. Some involve fla, others with him staying in the nfl. Most involve him leaving kc.”

“In sports talk, WHB slipped from 12th place in November to 14th in the current ratings and its downward ratings trend continued from a 4.7 in October to 4.3 in November to a 3.4 in December. The good news for WHB is that rival talker KCSP-610 AM continues to watch its ratings spiral downward and is now languishing in 20th place in the market. After two straight months with a 2.5 rating the Entercom station logged a dismal rating of 2.2 in November and a new yearly low of 2.0 in December.
John Landsberg, bottomlinecom.com
GH: These numbers do not look good for Wright or his 610 Sports brothers. A 2.0 during the Chiefs run to the playoffs is more than just disturbing. It is very likely one of the reasons we have seen so much experimenting with different talk show lineups and substitute hosts over the past month on 610. The Royals’ season doesn’t start for three months. Can Wright hold on till the Boys in Blue again give his ratings a boost?

Charlie Weiss
On the ESPN pre-game show on Dec. 27th (a week ago today), Adam Schefter reported that Weiss would not be back next year and there was not a word said on the airwaves around here about it. Why is that?
Florida OC > KC Chiefs OC
Florida is one of about 10 college football programs (Florida, Alabama, Ohio State, Texas, Nebraska, Auburn, LSU, USC, Georgia, Michigan) that are bigger and better jobs than probably 10 of the NFL teams (KC, STL, Jax, Buff., AZ, TB, Carolina, Cincy, Clev., Det.). More fans, more national exposure. It’s easier to win at these college programs than it is at these pro teams due to recruiting advantages and no salary cap. Weis will have total control of the offense while playing for a national audience 6 or 7 times a year. In KC he has to have all plays go through a punk jerk-off that he thinks he can outcoach. As far as his son goes, I think its more that his son is going to Florida because his dad is going to coach there, even though it was reported the other way around.
OC in College vs. the NFL
Anyone who thinks that being an OC at a big time college program is better than being an OC for ANY NFL team is a complete moron and dumbshit. The NFL is the best of the best players in the world while even an elite college program has just 2-3 elite players that will even make an NFL roster. Most are HS prima donnas sleepwalking through college and walk-ons. Get a clue dipshit.

Well lets see the Ravens are -3 and 98% of the public are backing the Ravens and their explosive offense. We know what happens to all the sheeple..love this match up in The New Arrowhead….Chiefs 20-17 In a wire job…..NEW SEASON …1-0 with conviction……I SEE RED BABY! Go Ahead K Bet It All.
More crap from amatuer small time reporter HALL!
You never listen do you hall. Again…maybe you should have stuck at the Platte County
Gazette with your sports reporting where people could give a shit about the stupid
ass comments you make. Up there in that hellhole they care more about the prices of
hogs and chickens then they do about any kind of sports…unless its playing horseshoes.
1. WHO CARE?: YOU DO….did anyone with any brains or insight think that either of these
coaches would last long here. Of course not. Anyone with any brains would have seen this
was merely a short term job for both crennel and weiss. Only you, in your idiocy would think
otherwise. I pointed out in June that this was true. Maybe you should qoute me as your
authentic source before any of these other idiots you give credit to.
So charlie leaves…thats football….coaches leave all the time and teams make changes all
the time. Had you read my full analysis of the chiefs you would have seen that I pointed out
that weiss would leave soon….because he’s got opportunities elsewhere and this to him was
a step down from previous positions (including notre dame).
2. More stupidity……concerning 610 and wright. YOu know nothing about the arbitron ratings
so shut the fuck up. Most stations in this market are jumbled winthin a few percents of a point
of each other. Ratings are playing an even less part in media buys. but you continue to spit out
b.s. and know nothing. So your indictment of 610 is totally incorrect because they are way up
in ad dollars right now and they will continue to grow. Again …stick to what you know best..
hog prices and viagra.
3.You and the rest of your so called experts are pitiful. The chiefs go from 4 wins to a playoff
berth and division title. Thats huge. the chiefs need to prove nothing more. what team was able
to do that…plus land key players on the pro bowl roster…..all in just one year! their accomplshment
has been incredibel this year. And despite ranting by you and your “swinger” buddy glazer they’ve
already done an incredible job. Of course they want to win a playoff game at home….but they are
playing a top echelon team…one of the 4 or 5 best in league…and it will be tough…especially with
the young players we have who have never played in that type of atmosphere.
4. Jack “I got my job because my boss keeled oever and died from a heart attack” Harry
is wrong again. How this guy stays employed is beyong me. He’s the worst sports guy on the
#4 rated news station in a 4 station race. He’s old and along with old man frank “I can see clearly now”
boal makes me get sick when either of these guys opens his mouth. Now that Boal had lasik maybe
he could pick up a stat sheet from the nfl and realize 60% of what he says is wrong garbage.
5. Randy Cross: you tear down a guy with super bowl rings and really one of the more knowledgeable
commentators on tv. and you’re stuck with hearne and glazer…wow…big time stuff.
6. Family….for some people thats important. The head coach at florida walked away from the best
job to spend time with his family. Maybe weiss found there was something more important than
coaching football. maybe he realized his family was important…and that maybe after his health
problems he had decided that money and coaching were not that big to him. Maybee someone
in sports decided it wasn’t worth it. did you think ab out that? No you didn’t because you always try
to look on the dark side of every single action anyone takes.
7. Danny Clunkscale….the worst broadcaster ever. I can’t see how KK takes this guys obnovious
and demaning behavior. How this guy ever got a job broadcasting i don’t know how.
Worse ever…and laways is trying to say something controversial when he’s indeed stupid.
HAd YOU OR JACK HARRY OR KK OR CLUNKSCALE OR “THE NOSE” OR SOWRONG PETRO
OR PIT BULL BEEN READING MY COMMENTS OVER THE LAST YEAR YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN
THAT I WAS PRETTY ON TARGET WITH MY COMMENTS. LIKE ALL EXPERTS I WAS WRONG ONCE
OR TWICE BUT I WAS OUT ON A LIMB AND WAS RIGHT MORE THAN ANY OF YOU SPORTS GUYS.
REMEMBER…WATCH MY WRITINGS….THEY ARE CORRECT ANALYSIS OF THE SPORTS AND
REAL WORLD…NOT SOME STUPID INANCE COMMENTS FROM SOME HICK FROM PLATTE COUNTY.
AND LAST MY PREDICTION:
Its been an incredible year fro the chiefs. Vieweership of their games (home games eveN) are reaching
super bowl numbers. that means huge interest in this team. Hopefully the president will continue his
majic in bringing back the economy and people will get back to work and the finances of the
country will recover (although i am predicting a financial collapse worse than in 2008 unless the
nation moves quickly to fill the gaps in state and local budgets) and more people will have the
disposable income to go to chiefs games.
What a great year…and you had to be at arrowhead to experience how great it was.
Its a very young team …with lieterally a very inexperienced quarterback. but what a great
story about cassell…despite benchings…not playing…sitting behind some other qb’s…and the
guy stuck it out…perserverance and hard work…a great storyt….that was a story that has not been
told….but a great story to tell your kids.
The emergence of some young players…speed…excitement…and again the home crowd
has come back. Dorsey is wrong! the fans have suffered thru his laziness and lack of
prep since he came into the nfl. and now we demand more and better things
from the guy. A great yearbut…..
As much as my heart races and believes in this team…its going to be tough game against
the ravens. The chiefs are still a work in progress and a team building for the future.
I cant go against my heart…although i know the odds are great they lose their playoff
game. so for this one time…i go with my heart and not my head.
How great would it be for the chiefs to win a playoff game at home! INcredible!!
So to all you naysayers who have slammed this team from day one….I say go
f*ck yourself.
To the 75,000 fans at arrowhead I say wow…its been a great ride…maybe the ride
isn’t over….maybe ‘THE MIRACLE IN MISSOURI CONTINUES”
can you write a column like glazers “i love myself” column
It seems like you and all the rest of your sports knownothings in kc love themselves…
I look forward to your “i love myself ” column real soon.
DF
JOJO last June all you were doing is fondling yourself and thinking about the big 10, oh and making bets that you can not and will not pay up. You said nothing of coaches leaving.
As for your prediction of continued growth in the economy. First doesn’t there have to be growth first. Get off Hussein’s cock and realize if is just a scum bag that happens to be president and black!!
Dorsey’s tweet was directed toward me, amongst others
His tweet before the diehard one said something like, “tough loss, glad we took care of bizz when we really needed to” (except he misspelled more words). I let him know how lame it was for him to proclaim such a thing, and asked him if he realized what that was basically saying to the 70,000 people who spent their hard earned money to watch him and his teammates lay down for the Raiders. His response, as I’m sure was his response to others, was the diehard tweet that you quoted, Greg.
I then followed up by explaining to him that alienating frustrated fans was ill-advised, especially after getting your ass handed to you. He blocked me.
Vegas has the Ravens by 3.
Those guys don’t live in trailers and drive Fords.
What is mentioned in passing, almost as an aside, and I have listened, is the OBVIOUS, point concerning last weekend’s game. The Chiefs didn’t need it. Its played down in the media’s rush to judgment and doomsday prognostications of the upcoming playoff game.
If you listened to the radio, read the paper, this blog and DIDN’T KNOW THE SPREAD, and were just s schmuck like me with a guess, you would probably put the line at 10 points in favor of the Ravens.
Vegas doesn’t care about our local sports mavens, self proclaimed or otherwise.
3 fuckin points and every talking head and radio sports jock in the city is Winston Churchill. Nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
I am ok with all the smart money in this city and Vegas being on the Ravens. In Baltimore they would be a 9 to 10 point favorite and justifiably so. On a neutral site, they beat us 4 out of 5 times and in Baltimore 9 out of 10 in a playoff game.
Vegas says 3.
Wake the fuck up. No one with any sense is even betting this game.
3 POINTS!!!
Ravens lose by 7.
This young team couldn’t have caught a better break. Embarassed in the last week, undervalued and dissrespected, they have played with luck, and admittidly over their heads all year long. This week the kids come out and and fight like hell.

Wright
Wright did come on in the first hour today and state that he thought it was OK for the other station to take some jabs at him for his comment. But I can’t believe that he actually asked the question seriously, if he would have played it off as a joke no one would have batted an eye. Probably a little unprofessional but he could have pulled it off because he has a good relationship with Haley.
Clinkscale
Clink is a great sidekick for KK …… but alone he is terrible radio. How much to they actually pay him? At least KK will get your attention. You have to admit… KK is hard to turn off when he starts a rant…. even if it is a biased, envious, unprofessional rant.
Nick Wright, the end is near
The paint has dried and the turds have turned white. The Nick Wright Experiment has just about run its course.
Wright the brown-noser
I’m hearing Wright is taking the brave, brave stance of calling out Weis as the villain (to me, it’s obvious Haley is). Personally, I’m thinking KC radio and football would be better off if Wright and Haley ran away together and never came back.
