Craig: Matt ‘The Surgeon’ Cassel Has Chiefs Super Bowl Bound

Maybe after that last winning drive for the Chiefs we should consider changing Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel’s name from THE FRANCHISE to THE SURGEON.

He sliced and diced the Bills defense on that final, winning, beautiful drive to the red zone that set up the winning field goal. The Franchise – I mean, Surgeon – was calm, cool, collected – nearly elite.

Right? Sure he was.

Glazer: King Cassel Ruler of Our One Horse Cowtown

>Well folks its come down to this… Our one and only nationally known sports star is THE FRANCHISE, Matt Cassel. Yep. Oh sure, we still have George Brett, Len Dawson and Tom Watson. However in the last say 20 years, the pickings have been slim, very slim. You can argue Priest Holmes, Trent Green and surely Derrick Thomas and Neil Smith. Continue reading

Glazer: Charlie Sheen Living Large in the Land of the Free

About Charlie Sheen

Well sports fans, yet another celebrity bad boy story. To recap Charlie’s late night Monday, he meets with his ex wife, Denise Richards and their two children. They have dinner at a nice restaurant in New York. Charlie brings at least one, maybe two, escorts – you know – hookers.

Charlie is drunk and doing blow it was thought. He’s loud and yelling. At some point during the meal he leaves the table headed for the restroom with one of the escorts. It’s reported that he was gone for a long time.

Wonder what they were doing? Continue reading

Glazer: Cocaine Crazy Part Three: Prison

As promised, here is the last part of Cocaine Crazy…

As I mentioned in my last entry on the topic, I did four and one half years in federal prison. I went to prison following my money laundering trial in LA which ended in 1984. I was found guilty and sentenced to seven years. At that time you did two thirds of your sentence and that was with good behavior. Now its 85% of the sentence – yikes!

Sex in prison.

This is one of the most asked questions by people who have never done any slam time. And here is the truth on that subject. Continue reading

Guess he listened to us about cooling it with the green. Continue reading

Glazer: Craig Tackles the Mystery of Life

Is Life Worth doing a second time? Would you do it all over again if you could?

I’m sure you’ve had that thought, “If given a choice would I live my life over?”

In other words, you get to be you again from birth til now and on until you die. So it’s something you would have to really think about. Continue reading

Glazer: More Bad News for Kelly’s & Westport

How the mighty have fallen…

A young man who was in Kelly’s drinking late Saturday night was killed after leaving the Westport bar. The attendant media fallout has sparked a PR nightmare for the club and Westport in general.

Just think, a handful of years back Kelly’s and Stanford and Sons were the twin peaks of the Kansas City bar world. There’s no argument that these two forces ruled a significant portion of the nightlife scene in KC – two busy bars right next to each other. The anchors of Westport for the better part three decades, between them they did $6 million a year in biz.

No more. Continue reading

Glazer: Bowe Sucks, Needs to Put Down the Green

Time to tell it like it is…

Fumbled fingered Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe needs to stop smoking so he can stop choking.

We all know the Chiefs are a decent if not good football team now. We also know that Matt Cassel has been awful and is not getting any better. We have now seen him stink for one entire season and the first third of this one. We also know that our wide receivers are not very good. In fact pretty bad.

Here’s the word from very strong inside sources: D-Bowe is big with the bud. Continue reading

Glazer: Gallagher Socks it to Local Comedy Kingpin

Oh My God He Punched Me!

Once upon a time, Gallagher was a comedy legend. Now he’s a mean, old guy who feels that the world should only listen to him and his thoughts. He doesn’t want to hear from you or me or anybody else, for that matter. When he was on stage, he put on a great show. Off stage, he was crazy.

And not in a funny or good way, as you might suspect…

It all started when I met him Monday morning last, at 7 a.m.to do Johnny Dare on 98.9 The Rock. I had him picked up by a limo -mean me,. The limo brought him to the station. He got out of the car and didn’t really seem to want to meet or speak to anyone including me.

OK. Continue reading

Glazer: Cocaine, Making Me Crazy

Alright, hold the jokes…

Kansas City Star columnist Jenee Osterheldt wrote a column this week about cocaine. And while much of what she wrote was true, from appearances she has very little firsthand knowledge and many of her comments were lame.
Example: “While marijuana spans generations and remains constant in pop culture, coke became a cult drug. Largely associated with Hollywood and a flashier lifestyle, its a status high,” Osterheldt wrote in the Star.

A status high? Continue reading

Glazer: Rubicon Star Rip-Off Repaid in Kind

A brief followup to my story about former Kansas City actor Arlis Howard, the star of TV’s new hit drama RUBICON on TBS…

Arlis showed up in KC a couple years back to promote his new film, Big, Bad, Love, co starring his wife Debra Winger. And I met with Les – his bartender monicker when he worked for my dad at Stanford’s in Westport years ago. So Les and former Stanford’s general manager Larry Marks and I had lunch together that day. Larry had been close with Les when he bartended there in the early 80’s.

In fact it was Larry, a Vietnam war vet, who’d showed Arlis how he and other field troops has cooked eggs in their helmets during the war. They’d cracked the eggs, salted and peppered them in the helmet, took a lighter and cooked it all up in the helmet bottoms and then ate them. Continue reading

Glazer: So You Wanna Date a Movie Star?

Glazer: End of an Era for Kelly’s, Westport, Iowa State

If you watched Saturday’s BIG GAME at Arrowhead, Iowa State vs. K-State, you may have noticed nobody was at the stadium.

The camera steered clear of showing the seated area as best it could for just that reason. The announced attendance was 38,000m but my hunch is the real number was closer 28,000. And since Arrowhead seats around 80,000 fans., the game was a major bust.

In fact both schools announced they will not return to Arrowhead in 2011 and beyond.

And Iowa State is one of the Big 12’s better traveling schools. At least where Kansas City is concerned. To be honest without the Iowa State folks Sprint Center would be fairly empty during the Big 12 basketball tournament leading up to the KU game.

Here’s a little secret… Continue reading

Glazer: The Star’s Sam (Mellinger) is the Man

Instead of going over how lucky the Chiefs are for being 2 and 0 and that Matt Cassel still isn’t any good, etc., lets hit something more important for now, Sam Mellinger.

Sam is now the man at the Kansas City Star – sports and beyond. Who would have thought that after Jason Whitlock, Joe Posnanski and Jeff Flanagan all left in the wake of the newspaper’s financial woes the past two years that Sam the Man would be killing it for the Star.

He is outstanding. Continue reading
