It’s not often the No.1 morning radio host gets upstaged…

But it happened last week when Johnny Dare had local media phenom Chocolate Becky on as his guest. OMG, she rocked the house big time. So much so, Dare’s considering her as the replacement for recently departed Kari Coogan.

Not so fast.

More likely Becky will get her own segment once a week or more. Why?

"You have to be good at reading the news and do alot of homework," Dare says. "And that’s a bit tough for someone who’s never done that. But oh yeah, we want her."

So who is Chocolate Becky, for God’s sake?

Yes it’s true…

610 Sports afternoon host Nick Wright now says on the air that he believes Chiefs coach Todd Haley will soon be gone. And Nick really likes Todd and thinks he is a good coach in a bad situation. But Nick believes Scott Pioli is also to blame and blames him hard.

It’s now also known that Todd and Scott do not get along and haven’t for some time.

All of which adds up to the following; its just a matter of time before Haley is let go by the Chiefs. Word at Woodside – where I met  Haley during his first season – is that the decision has already been made. I think the Haley family is getting ready to leave Kansas City soon. Not until after it’s official, of course. I also believe Haley will land a post in the NFL or College Football, but probably not as a head coach in the NFL.

Many other radio sports guys are saying how shocked they are at Chiefs being so bad and that nobody saw this coming.

Yes I know, I know your Humble Scribe is a near genius NFL/College football guy…

Nobody in the KC sports media has had the two weeks I have. I have one game left on the Pros and if that wins, I’ll have gone 100% on pro picks and gotten all but that late night ASU game that I missed by half a point. Yes, I know you all want my cell number for next week. I did have two Vegas guys (people I met there not casino employees) call for my pic’s. Nice.

OK our Clown Act (the Chiefs) Quit.

They quit on their coach, their city, their profession. This team would like to forfeit the season. They would, I’m not kidding. Almost none of them want to play anymore. In fact, at season’s end this team will be mentioned with the ALL TIME WORST NFL CLUBS.

You want me to give you my weekend picks? OK…

These are based on is the current Vegas line, which can change. College first.

1)   OKLAHOMA -3 over Florida State.  ******

2)   Teaser Bet: STANFORD -9 over Arizona AND Nebraska -17 over Washington.

By betting these two games as a teaser you get to knock 6 points off the spread on bioth games. So Stanford becomes minus 3 and Nebraska minus 11. But to get paid, you must win both games because it’s one bet.

3)   Oklahoma State -13 1/2 over Tulsa

4) Bonus Bet: ASU 2 over Illinois. I love ASU’s quarterback Brock Osweiler. Who could just be the Chief’s lst round draft pick. NOTICE THIS IS MY ONLY UPSET PICK.

******* Craig’s top pick

What a difference a year makes…

The Kansas City Chiefs were talking just two more seasons and they’d be a Super Bowl contender. That after last year’s division title. The Royals – who everyone, including me, pissed on – came in last. And while recordwise they’re still a poor team (bottom five) THEY’RE STARTING TO WIN.

I actually believe with Eric Hosmer, this team will contend for the division next year…finally.

If – and only if – David Glass goes out and buys at least two or three pitchers. One big time starter, a solid starter and a good reliever. If so, the Royals will battle to win the title for the first time in nearly 30 years. A great player raises all ships and Hosmer is a great player.

On the other hand, the Chiefs have to start over.

America elected Barack Obama as its first black president three years ago…

And for those of us not married to a political party, you have to say he’s done a nice job, Barack. Sure, he’s made mistakes, but overall he’s helped keep us out of a depression, the wars are ending, the stock market has been mostly stable. Sounds good.

So have blacks in America changed?

Not much. They were excited about Obama until he won. As a comedy club owner I can tell you I heard a boat load of jokes from black comics during and just after the election.

"What will be our excuse to not work? White man won’t hire us; we’re black and nobody will give us a chance."

Then Obama became president and there were no more excuses, right? Wrong.

Now everyone’s lined up behind your humble scribe…

To be blunt, nobody saw the Chiefs as one of the worst in the league. Except me. I broke it down for you weeks ago as to why they would struggle. After a preseason – which I explained DOES matter when your team lacks confidence and talent – they got jacked by everyone’s second team and went 0-4.

Yeah, it mattered.

There are stats about teams where it doesn’t, but with teams that finish 2-5 like the Chiefs it does.

OK, so I was 100 percent right on the Chiefs…

No need to dwell on that now, we’ve plenty left to worry about. Vegas was a nice time. My trip out sucked but the four days there were fun. Rio has great pools and a nude private pool. The new thing is semi-nude dancers in every ultra lounge bar and in casino bars for the first time.

New hotels come and go – they open big, then die way down. The new three hottie hotels are, of course, Encore (a couple years old but upscale and classy with great food). The newest is the spectacular Cosmopolitan – wow, eye popping! And lastly, Aria with one of the top new clubs, XS.

I come here not to bury Caesar, but to praise him…

Caesar’s Palace, that is. Well, they were sold out, so I had to go to my old favorite the RIO. You see it on TV with the Texas Hold ‘Em championship. Decent, but not as good as Caesar’s. Oh well, maybe I’ll learn not to book stuff at the last minute.

Had to fly to Phoenix first to save 500 bucks. That’s right, a round trip, last minute, day before, non stop flight cost $950. Mine was $465, not good, but oh well.

Next my new suit case wouldn’t fit into my brother’s new Porsche Boxster. So my Dad had to drive me to airport. Christ, he bitched the entire time.

When I was a kid I watched my dad’s team the 1969 Missouri Tigers play Penn State in the Orange Bowl...

Wow, a win could mean the national title. The Tigers had sure pro quarterback Terry McMillan and stand out receiver Mel Gray. It was very close, but the Tigers lost at the end of the game. It was their best football season of all time. They were 9-2 and 6th in the nation.

A couple years ago they were nearly back, ranked number one (for a few days) and headed for a bright finish with Chase Daniels.

By the way McMillen never made it in the pros and the Tigers have never won a national title.

I followed them because my dad and mom went there. I did a year at UMKC but was never a Kangaroo. I mean, really. I always followed MU football and KU basketball. One decent program and one great program. And it didn’t hurt that our Chiefs were the best team in the NFL back then.

I know many of you Chiefs fans are pissed at your humble scribe for being THE ONLY MEDIA GUY IN TOWN, to tell you well before the preseason ended, that not only would they not win a division title, they’d be one of the NF L’s doormats.

Sorry, radio guys, you didn’t say that.

You rode the fence, like the Star‘s Sam Mellinger. I didn’t. I took a ton of crap for being honest. Now you can see that it’s gonna be kinda tough to call Mister Glazer "a man who doesn’t know sports" ever again. This was a big and bold call.

And now it’s over…

What ever happened to Baby Jane?

Marcus Allen was maybe the most overall popular pro athlete in recent Kansas City history. Sure there’s George Brett, Len Dawson, Joe Montana and Tony G, but none had that sexy presence like Marcus. Everyone in KC wanted to meet him, see him and speak to the handsome football star who helped turn the Kansas City Chiefs into one of the most popular football teams in America.

That was nearly two decades ago – wow time flies, huh?

Oh sure, Joe Montana was our BEATLES. More than a legend. Marcus was more a Mick Jagger – too sexy for his shirt and pants. But man, could he play ball.

Allen had just been kicked out of LA, for many reasons…

Jeff Chadiha has it all…

He’s an ESPN sports broadcaster, writes for ESPN Magazine and is on the Jim Rome Show. He’s also on ESPN‘s E60 and writes for ESPN.COM. Jeff’s a budding national sports media star.

He hails from the University of Wyoming where he played college ball and then moved to Ann Arbor to become a reporter for the newspaper there. Their sports guy at the time was a dude named Jason Whitlock and Jeff and Jason became fast friends.

"Whitlock is honest and has deep integrity," says Jeff. "I love the guy."

When Jason moved to Kansas City Jeff took his place. Whitlock became huge here while Jeff went to Sports Illustrated. He moved to New York where he met his wife who’s from Joplin. So Jeff, who could have lived anywhere he wanted when he joined ESPN in 2005, moved to Kansas City so his wife could be close to her family. Turned out Jeff had family in Joplin too.

Now let’s cut to the chase…

You cry, get upset, throw things, pay thousands to watch ’em play, stand in lines, wear their names on shirts, speak highly of them….

But truth be known, NFL Players think you’re a pain in the ass. They don’t like you. They like to hear you cheer for them at a game or stand and clap, wear their stuff and glorify their names. But no, they don’t like you or want to be around you.

Sorry…

I’ve hung with too many players – even baseball players. And they don’t much like fans. Almost none of them. Oh, they say they do on TV and on the radio. "We have the best fans…"

Yeah right.

Behind your backs, they hide from you guys unless you are a hot, 25 year-old, big-boobed blonde.

I’d like to tell you that Scott Pioli, Todd Haley and Clark Hunt had a meeting last week and decided to GO ALL OUT TO GET A WIN AT GREEN BAY…

And that it worked. But instead it was a clown act. The desperate Kansas City Chiefs used their starters – THEIR STARTERS – almost the ENTIRE GAME. THE PACKERS, never had their first team on the field. Yes, Aaron Rogers saw one series but he was in the Chiefs end zone before Clark could call Scottie and ask, "So do you still think we can get at least 50,000 to the home opener next week?"

The answer: NO.

Even ye of little faith (and me) must now sit down, shed a tear and say to ourselves, "There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home." Then maybe we can click our heels and get back to Kansas from this nightmare.

Hey Chiefs fans, it’s only just begun. This is a doormat team. Yes, we have some good players – we all know their names – but we have no team. There is no offensive line, none. No D line, or almost none. And finally, there is no quarterback.

Matt Cassel is clearly a flop. No, he’s not The Franchise. In fact, it’s likely we’ll go through all three QBs and maybe a veteran before the CLOWN ACT SEASON ENDS.

I keep hearing the same thing, over and over…

"He’s ruining the nation! Get him out of there!"

All this on president Barack Obama. Why? Looks to me like he’s doing a nice job, given what he inherited from George Bush and all the problems going down around the world.

Under Obama’s watch we’ve nearly doubled the stock market from a Dow around 6,000 (under Bush) to until-recently, over 12,000. Under Obama’s watch we found and killed Bin Laden. Under his watch we unseated Lybian Strong Man Gaddafi. Under Obama’s watch we’ve also seen some very positive changes in middle eastern countries like Egypt. And maybe Syria next.

Your humble scribe tried to warn you a month ago that this year’s Chiefs team was not any good…

Using stats to do so, no less. Still many of you doubted my NFL knowledge. Now let’s look at where the team is today.

Nowhere.

The only real bright spots in a terrible preseason are Ricky Stanzi, new defensive star Justin Houston and maybe Derrick Johnson. The offensive line was horrible. So was the defensive line. We showed ZERO offense, except for Ricky (cause he’s so fine he blows our minds).

With my sharp eye and clear vision of this years Chiefs season we can say this: ITS OVER…

This is a lost season. There are simply way too many holes to fill with a tough schedule. Not like last year when we played Grandview every week, and still needed lots of luck to win those 10 games. Oakland, Baltimore, Denver and Oakland showed who this team was at season’s end. Oh yeah, add San Diego to that list. Ugly. Down the stretch we were 2 and 5, guys. One of the NFL’s low level ball clubs.

Last year’s Chiefs were phonies.

You know it. I know it. The NFL knows it. And the team surely knows it. Head Coach Todd Haley damn well knows it. And maybe some guys on radio should know it too, huh?

So about last night…

We only have one mother and one father – I mean real ones…

Not someone who married one of your parents after they split. It’s tough being a child to a parent. Too many parents expect way too much. And often parents live vicariously through their offspring.

My father, Stan, was the kind of parent who just didn’t want to be one.

People who know him and my brothers say Stan Glazer was a terrible father.

Without a doubt. All three of his sons – me included – ended up in prison at one point or another.
