I’m not sure that Nebraska is necesarily the bully in waiting. Let’s see if Pelini can attract an offensive coordinator worth a damn before we start declaring that the Huskers of the 1980s have returned.
___
GH: Tom Osborne’s Nebraska ain’t ever coming back, but the Huskers look to be pretty dominant in 2010 — another down year in the North. They have MU, KU and CU at home. I like their chances.
Watching with amusement
…. I don
CLM
ugh. Bob Fescoe is returning to KC?
Now I DEFINITELY won’t be listening to 610.
Rick M
Holthus also called the KU-Belmont game last Tuesday on ESPNU. He was OK at it, but I still miss Split.
OlatheCat
I wasn’t ever going to listen to Fescue anyway, but he decided to dis on K-State his first day? That’s nice.
jojo
my prediction:
MU 78 KSTATE 72
I still think mu has one good upset in them
every year and this might just be it.
As far as pinkel…i didn’t get a chance to
see the game but the score said it all.
Pinkel downplayed the game and bitched about
not going to a better bowl. But for MU
this was a good chance to get extra practices
before 2010 which is important when you have
a young team. However…pinkel needs to get
tougher on his deffensive coordinator. Its
been a nightmare for over 3 years now and its
time he either changed the coordinator or
brought in some topnotch coaches under him.
Pinkel has 2 years to prove himself..he will
never get into that elite level of coaches.
He’s not that great of a coach. But with the
talent he has and has coming he better change
up his squad or he’ll be at the all you can
eat buffet with mangino.
Mitch and Lenny…my favorite announcers.
They are funny..bright..and they make the
losing games somewhat fun. Their comedy
routines are quite funny.
Chiefs/Hunt: the key is that 80% oif thius
years players will be gone from the team.
D. Johnson is wanting to get out soon.
Apparently the defensive coaches are staying
because 2 coaches are now looking to buy houses
in the metro area.
Happy new year to all my fans and readers.
Cliffy
Mizzou DID have a new defensive coordinator this year,jojo, but I didn’t notice much of a difference.
Holthus is NOT entertaining. He has become a parody of himself with that stupid “TOUCHDOWN KAN-ZA CITY” call of his. When he comes on the air with KK I can’t switch to 610 fast enough. And yes, Greg, he does think we’re that dumb.
Pelini is obviously doing a good job, but I would wait until he’s won a few games with his own recruits before predicting domination of the north.
MU beating K-State in Columbia would not be an upset.
CSI
We along with Kojack, Columbo, Mannix, and many others are in search of these fans and readers of Jojo.
Also shout out to Wendall Anshutz and his cancer. Blessings to you and your family.
Change your name every time
Hey KU fan, are you blind? Know what causes that?
Cliffy
Point well taken, CSI, but I wonder how many people under the age of 50 have any idea who Kojak, Columbo and Mannix are?
Ditto on Wendall Anschutz … I was unaware of his recent setback.
dp
MU beating K-State wouldn’t be an upset. The Cats are good, but not a top ten team like they are ranked now. I predict 10-6 in Big XII, finishing 23-7 on the year, 3rd or 4th in the league.
MrOlathe
I’m not even close to 50 and I remember Kojak, Columbo, and Mannix….of course I have spent the majority of my life watching massive amounts of TV. In my mom’s basement. Right JoJO? My wife and 4 kids live there with me. See that JoJO?
newbaum turk
I can’t listen to Holthus on 810 because he is so full of crap it makes me sick and KK never calls him on it. There is no optimism for the Chiefs next year as far as I am concerned. This game was just like the Pittsburgh game. It does not really mean that much. You have two defensive TD’s and you should win. In the grand scheme of things it means next to nothing.
nick
Mitch Holthus is a Spin Machine.
Ask him about the Missouri Valley, and he’ll convince you they’re better than the Big East and Big 12 combined. Ask him about Bill Snyder and he might inspire you get an Old Balls tattoo on your ass. Ask him about Matt Cassel and you’ll find yourself in an eye doctor’s office, questioning if you truly did see all the shitty decisions and plays Cassel made this year.
And if we think Mitch is a shill, can you imagine KK if WHB lands the Chiefs?
I say Missouri HAS peaked. I’ll be very surprised if Pinkel ever wins the North again.
If the Wildcats beat Missouri on the road Saturday, LOOK OUT. Wish we could just watch Texas, K-State and KU go at it right now.
DVD
If KSU continues playing the way they are now, they’re easily capable of 12-4. If they revert to the team that squeaked past Fort Hays, 10-6 may be wishful thinking in this conference.
Paul
The Chiefs’ blowout of the Donkeys doesn’t mean much? Seriously? Are you really that stupid, newbaum turk? The Donks were playing to get in the playoffs, and we BITCHSLAPPED them. Period. The Chiefs ARE getting better- the O-line blocked great in that game, the defense didn’t allow any big plays, and Cassel (other than that stupid INT he threw) played good.
Johnny Utah
games on radio are cool. too bad we can’t get baseball playoffs on radio too.
but Greg, man, get a DVR! all you miss on your BK runs will be commercials.
jojo
to my fans…
k state #10 in nation..missouri #300..missouri
beating k state is an upset.
chiefs are a bad team. won’t make playoffs
til ?
MU has not peaked in football. This was to
be a rebuilding year. They can’t beat the
south but they can beat ku. Big deal. KU
is dead in football. So until pinkel proves
he can do better he will be doubted.
KU has 9 nba players on that team. Get real.
Noone can beat them. No one will beat them.
Tx. is a fluke. K state will lose to ku by
10 points. KU wins it all. KU should have used
that “history making” ads on their basketball
team and not their football team.
Mr. Olathe and Gavin are gay lovers.
Gary Lezak is the #1 weather forecaster in the
nation. Mr. Olathe and Gavin have a crush on
gary lezak and brian busby.
Greg Hall needs to get a real job and work
for the kc star.
Steven St. John had a heart attack
shoveling snow.
Kevin keitzman had a heart attack getting
blown.
Lenny Dawsoin will always be cooooool.
And ICONTINUE TO GBET MORE INK ON THIS
SITE THAN HALF THE CHEIFS TEAM.
happy new year to my fans and readers.

HEARNE/GREG…BIG QUESTION! WHY DO YOU FORCE US
TO SCROLL THRU USELESS BLOGS BY TONY (UPSKIRT
SHOTS OF HOLLY STAR) JACK (THE GUY WITH THE
PHONY GERMAN ACCENT WHO WRITES ABOUT NUDE
THEATREGOERS WHO WEAR MASKS) LAUREN/ETC. WHEN
ALL WE CARE ABOUT IS SPORTS.
WHY NOT TAKE THOSE USELSS AND NON READ BLOGS
AND COMBINE THEM INTO ANOTHER BLOG ON ITS
OWN.
LOOKING AT THE COMMENTS HERE WE ONLY CARE ABOUT
SPORTS..AND NOTHING ELSE (EXCEPT GAVIN AND MR.
OLATHE WHO ARE INTO SEX WITH EACH OTHER AND
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES). SO TAKE GREG HALL AND
PUT HIS BLOGS ON A SPECIAL SITE BY ITESELF
SO WE WON’T HAVE TO WASTE PRECIOUS TIME SCROLLING THRU THE UNREADABLE BLOGS ON THIS
SITE?
GREAT IDEA…MAKE IT HAPPEN IN 2010.

Paul – The Broncos finished with a worse record in their last 10 games than the Chiefs. The Chiefs went to Denver, got a couple of nice defensive TDs, got hot, and beat a mediocre football team that wasn’t playing two key receivers. This happened two weeks after getting wrecked at home by Cleveland. You say “improvement,” I say “caught a couple breaks and won ONE sloppy game.”
tybme
Anytime a team that has nothing to play for but pride shows us that pride then there is progress being made.
As for Fescoe – I listened to him this morning until a caller complained he wasn’t talking sports and Bob told him to stop listening if he didn’t like it. I took Bobs advice and turned the station.
John
Mitch Holthus is the new Bob Gretz.
He’s Ego-li’s mouthpeice the same way Gretz was Carl’s. He goes on shows like BTL and gives Cameroheads like Paul reason not to kill themselves telling them stuff they want to hear.
The Denver win on Sunday is…forgetable. Next year, after another bad draft, more of Haily’s rants, a 4 win season and Elmer Fudd post game news confrences. No one cared that they finally beat the Denver in Invesco.
PS Ego-li, maybe it’s time you get out of your bunker and answer some questions from the press and the fans….
jojo
TYBME…the chiefs players werent playing for
pride…they were playing for a paycheck..
half of them will be gone next year (maybe
more) and they felt that one last good showing
might give them the edge next season when
appying for jobs with nfl teams.
Most of these players will be saying “may I
help you” at gates.
Hopefully the coaches will be gone and new
ones leading these players.
tghis is money and a career to the players.
They’ve worked all their lives to play in the
nfl. Even the bad ones were college
players…so don’t think its pride..they played
to put bread on the table because some of these
guys end up broke once they leave the nfl.

I thought Greg’s comment and many others about the Chiefs not being improved was way out there. But Keitzman topped it when he said on the radio that “Really their is no difference between the Chiefs and Bronco’s. I would love to know what school of math these sports experts went to. So let me help them. 4 is better then 2. 8 is better then 4. I wish some of these guys would get a job at my bank because obviously I could convince them that $1000 is the same as $500 or maybe even less then $500.
So while Greg is calling for Todd’s head, here is what I saw this season. And I waited until the season was over so i could see the full picture before making a judgment. I would say if their is anyone that thinks like me it would be Bill Maas. Good company to have.
*The Chiefs doubled their win total and improved by 100%.
*They did this with the loss of their Hall of Fame tight end who was still productive and with their #1 WR out four games and the starting QB missing a few games.
*They beat Denver in Denver for the first time in 8 years.
*That win prevented Denver from going to the post season. Unlike the Jets who got wins when teams were playing at half speed all our wins came when they were fighting hard.
*Heard the expression less is more? They played Derrick Johnson less but got more out of him.
*They got rid of the cancer on the team Larry Johnson.
*They discovered a star running back. Something I predicted long ago (more on that later).
*They beat the Super Bowl champs.
Am I just seeing things through rose colored glasses? No. The stands were empty and they had their first black out in ages. Haley has got to get better. But he knows that. They need to upgrade players and have an improved draft. But THEY DID get better this season.
With the chances that Romeo and Charlie coming in that is something to get excited about. The Chiefs have the “potential” for a bright future.
Where is Glazer’s negative the sky is falling and the Chiefs are losers reaction?
So John you want to bet on that 4 win season next year? I think I got someone’s house and Craig’s comedy club this year. I’ll be glad to add properties to my monopoly board.
Gavin hat’s off to you.
CSI
So you are going to be working with Chiefs players at Gates? Cool. Clean the sauce off your shirt.
Rick
No guts awards. NFL Today when Bill Cowher was asked by James Brown about the rumors of him and NFL jobs. Cowher refused to comment. JB let him off the hook and moved on. He should of at least pressed to see if he would be interested in coaching again. No guts.
What I want to know. Jamal scores second TD and starts dancing. TV shows a shot of Dwayne Bowe holding Haley in a reverse bear hug. What was that about? Was he preventing Haley from going off on Jamal’s celebration?
newbaum turk
Paul-I’ll refrain from calling you names (unless of course you re-post calling me more names) but I’m not drinking the kool-aid. This team has been awful for a good 30 out of the last 40 years. I remember the 70’s & 80’s as well as the all the bad teams of this decade. We’ll re-post this time next year when the Chiefs have won a whopping five games. These bums haven’t won a f-ing playoff game since the 1992 season. In today’s NFL that is damn near impossible to do. I think if the Bengals win this weekend it leaves only Detroit as the only team to go longer without a playoff victory. DETROIT!!! That is some damn good company to keep there.
Dino Martini
Damn Rick…come on, it’s “there” not “their”.
You did that twice son, so it was no mistake, just stupidity. And you once proclaimed yourself a writer. Geezzz…glad I don’t bank at your place.
Rick
Dino THEIR is a reason God invented editors. Also i absolutely am stupid about many things. I flunked one year of English and Algebra. No nothing about car repair and can’t even change my own oil. Spell check is a miracle from God.
But even as stupid as I am I know that their are two types of people. Those that do things. And those that point out the mistakes of those that do things. Some are in the game. Some are on the sideline. So THERE.
PS. Glad to finally find out you are my dad. I was scared to death it was going to turn out to be Jojo. Later Pops. And be careful driving to school.
John
Quoting Bill Maas? Wasen’t he high on Coke when he made those comments?
Rick
Who quoted Billy Bob? Though if someone did quote him, him even high would be more knowledgeable then some of these local sports guys.
Dino Martini
Hey,alright, Rick’s a real “doer”. Doesn’t seem to matter that he does it wrong,just so long as he does it at all. Ata boy.
Rick
I concur. Better to do something…even if its wrong then do nothing at all. If I’m in a burning car I’d rather the bystander try to pull my as* out of the flames and break my arm in the process because he did it “wrong”. Then have some half wit by the side of the road just watching me become a crispy critter. As NIKE says “Just do it”
Dang dad, it seems like I’m teaching you more then you are teachin me. Pa you wanna go fishing sometime. I know where THERE is a nice pond.
Rick
Also note I sometimes use are when I mean our. Hope some day I can be perfect.
Dino Martini
I hope you can too son. Don’t be so sensitive though.
No know it all’s
I hate sites (and they all have them) where you have these know it all guys and girls that want to correct English spelling etc. We get it. You want to feel superior with your pocket protector, six inch glasses, superior intellect, and dateless life. I say become a teacher and go grade papers. Let us regular Joes just write whatever we want. You are like a nagging wife. Let dudes be dumb jocks if we choose to. I promise to let you be the brain and not give you widgees anymore.
Rick
I agree with you Not know it all’s.
Dino Martini
Ahhh, Mr. Know nothing, that would be called a weggie.
Rick
Classic. Hilarious DINO!!!!
Rick
But I also think he sit u up. Or is that set you up?
Dexter Morgan
You could be standing inside Arrowhead and ask Mitch Holthus what time it is and he would point to the wall and tell you how tough and wily the clock is, how it works so hard to tell time, does everything it’s asked to do, how oh brother you better look out when that clock decides it wants to tell time because mister, you will be gargling the sweet nectar of punctuality.
rick
Dexter VERY FREAKIN FUNNY!!!! great way to start the day. Next time do a Jopo telling us about the time. Hilarious!!!
college professor
Here is what i find funny. Rick used both there and their in proper context. So it is Dino that has egg on his face and apparently needs some grammar and English classes. Dino, I can get you a discount if need be.
