KC Confidential

It’s hard to explain, football fans…

The NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell were all about punishing New Orleans Saints players for Head Hunting for money. All in the name of something called player safety. Yet here we are today today going into week four with no real referees on the field for the games!

And the players are getting hurt more than ever with costly mistakes made in almost every game. Like the Green Bay Packers bogus loss last night.

These are not even top notch college refs, they’re Division 2.

WTF? Continue reading →

Well, it was a case of two bad teams playing for some sanity…

The Chiefs – badly outplayed in the first half – caught breaks and lucked out when Jamaal Charles decided to carry the team. With over 200 yards rushing, including a 91 yard dash to the end zone, KC saved some face. Not too much but some. Hey a win is a win. Continue reading →

Well, football freaks it’s been a tough start for our local ball clubs…

The Chiefs, as we talked about last year and early this season, seem to have quit on their coach and general manager. Not to mention the fans. Watching them in interviews you see no confidence and it seems as though the season is already over.

Here’s their chance.

The New Orleans Saints are also a head case. Sure they have the Brees, but we’ve got Matt THE FRANCHISE Cassel. Damn.

Is his house up for sale yet? Continue reading →

I remember when Rock was young, me and Suzie had so much fun, holding hands and …

Well, Rock isn’t young anymore, and if you’re like me and stood in those large lines to watch Jimi Hendrix, Cream or the Rolling Stones, did it ever cross your mind that one day in the not too distant future rock would fade out?

Never even crossed my mind back then.

Oh sure, there’re still young rock bands around and we hear most of the older bands on some radio stations. Like the biggest rock station this side of New York City, The Rock 98.9.  But nobody really has managed to take the place of all those household name groups – not even Kid Rock (who ain’t no kid anymore).

Now back to the future… Continue reading →

Guess who’s back in the news?

After a long absence Monica Lewinsky is out pitching a new tell-all book to New York publishers. Likely it will go for several million dollars. Those celebrity scandals just kill don’t they?

Gee, I wonder what the book will be about? Where she and President Bill Clinton did it, when she and Bill did it and how she and Bill did it.

Shocker.

Bill Clinton is arguably the most popular President of the past 100 years, save John Kennedy and maybe, just maybe, Ronald Reagan. Some would say he’s better liked than both. Continue reading →

Former Super Bowl quarterback Steve Young said it best last night after Monday Night Football...

“The NFL doesn’t care what you think…they don’t care…you will watch this game no matter what! They don’t care about player safety, never did…they don’t care.”

Wow, gusty speech.

Young could be fired for saying that on national TV. Except for the fact that everyone agreed with him, including Jerry Rice. Steve Young is on the money they all said.

THE NFL  DOESN’T CARE. Continue reading →

Well for once all of the media that matters said the same thing today…

FIRE SCOTT PIOLI.

I looked at the Kansas City Star this morning and both columnists, Kent Babb and Sam Mellinger echoed what I wrote yesterday. This team goes nowhere with its current general manager, Scott Pioli.

And no, I don’t think they read my story and got the idea from me. Both guys are in a bad spot, as are the radio sports shows. The Chiefs spend money with all these outlets – big money. Just as important, all these folks need access to players, coaches and even the big guy, Pioli. With the exception of Babb, who is bailing on the Star very soon.

So it’s not that easy to call for the King’s firing just two games into the regular season.

This after four years of Carl Peterson Part Two. Continue reading →
