Take 5 (below): What’s Your Blizzard of Oz Story?
“That was the most over rated weather event in the last 20 years. I HATE the news for working us all up into a frenzy. The media wanted this storm to be so bad. I can tell you there have been much worse storms.”Bob Fescoe, Wednesday morning on Twitter
“Blizzard conditions. I-70 shut down to StL/1st time since it was built in 58. KCI shut down. No buses. KCMO St of Emergency…and it’s overrated?”
Kris Ketz, responding to Fescoe’s tweet, Twitter
Kris Ketz, responding to Fescoe’s tweet, Twitter
GH: I thought the weather people got this one spot-on right – and they did it three days in advance! When over half the country is crippled by a winter storm, I think it is difficult to consider any part of it overrated. But maybe your experience with The Blizzard of Oz is similar to Fescoe’s. Or more like mine where I was stranded in an Overland Park hotel Tuesday night with my truck snowbound in our office parking lot. I took the photo (above) near College Blvd. & Cedar in OP, just as the postman was making his daily pick up Tuesday at 3:30 PM. This dude definitely follows the USPS unofficial creed; “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."

OTC: John Kadlec Retires His Edsel Voice From MU’s Radio Booth
“Just saw this about MU fb analyst John Kadlec retiring. I enjoyed his work and our conversations. Wonderful link to Mizzou, Big 8 history.”Blair Kerkhoff, of The Kansas City Star, Twitter
GH: Kadlec spent 16 years as Mizzou’s football radio color analyst. While Kerkhoff says he enjoyed his work, it was 16 long, painful years for my ears. Read on.
“You are truly a Mizzou legend!”

OTC: Wally Judges Frank Martin To Be Lacking
"Wally (Judge) quit the team today.”Frank Martin, according to a tweet from The Star’s Kellis Robinette, Twitter
GH: Whoa. Is Manhattan now Iowa City west – where a new bombshell explodes over the Frank Martin’s Cats’ each week? First Dominique Sutton bolts the program last July. Then Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly get pinched for their Dillards dash. Highly regarded juco transfer Freddy Asprilla leaves the program after a tough practice. K-State gets embarrassed by Kansas on Saturday and then Martin announces his most acclaimed recruit, Wally Judge, has left the building. Whoa.
“He’s not happy. I kinda saw it coming because of some of his emotional situations.”
Frank Martin, via Robinette’s tweet
GH: So now Martin is going to publicly label Judge’s issues at Kansas State as “emotional?” What a load of purple garbage. Man up, Frank. It’s your program and you are the common denominator in the issues that have invaded and destroyed your team. Martin is making millions and he wants to paint a 19-year-old kid as an emotional cripple? That’ll really help Wally find a new school. Damn, that is a low blow coming from Frank. Maybe we should rename him Not Very Frank.

OTC: KU’s Funeral Trip Revisited & Debated By 610’s Shan Shariff
“Greg Hall’s suggesting that the attendance of the KU basketball team at Thomas Robinson’s mom’s funeral will be detrimental and somehow hurt this team going forward. How in the hell is that a possibility? … I think it’s asinine. I think it’s silly. I think it’s dumb. I think it’s stupid. And I think it’s blind.”Shan Shariff, responding to my column earlier this week questioning the decision to fly the Kansas basketball team back to Washington D.C. for Thomas Robinson’s mother’s funeral, 610 AM
GH: I am guessing Shariff doesn’t agree with my take. Or maybe he simply did not understand my concerns. Read on.
“My question and my response (to Hall’s column) is, where are our priorities?”
Shan Shariff, 610 AM
GH: Where are our priorities when it comes to college sports? Where are our priorities when it comes to paying a head coach $3 million per season to coach college basketball? Where are our priorities when the “privilege” of buying already exorbitantly-priced tickets is tied to fans having to donate tens of thousands of dollars (and more) to a mysterious but-rarely-questioned entity called The Williams Fund? It is obvious where our priorities are when it comes to Kansas basketball. They are obscenely tilted toward the manic need to feed the financial beast that nourishes the self-worth of a proud but skewed Jayhawk fan base. A fan base no different than Nebraska football or a number of college towns we all know well.

OTC: Mobile Media Is The New Tsunami Of News/Sports Info
“Mobile. Mobile. Mobile.”Jeremy Crabtree, college football recruiting guru, who recently moved from Rivals to ESPN, 810 AM
GH: Crabtree described what he is doing with ESPN’s recruiting services as “building something from scratch.” Kevin Kietzman asked him what we could expect to see in future years and Crabtree made the “mobile” comments. Information is power. That mantra is hummed in IT shops and learning centers from Tijuana to Bangor. And how we gobble our news, sports and weather continues to evolve with more haste than a game of Spore. Read on.
“They can’t be using these things more than they’re watching ESPN, can they?”
Kevin Kietzman, reacting to Crabtree’s comments that the future for recruiting information and possibly all news info is mobile devices like cells, iPads, etc. 810 AM
GH: Kietzman has been slow to embrace technology. It has not yet hurt his ratings much and it may never cause a dent. But his audience (and mine) is quickly changing from a newspaper cult to an iPhone/Droid/Tablet tribe. 12 years ago Kietzman complained about the Internet and not knowing how to email. Last year he talked about how Todd Leabo was trying to get him on this thing called Twitter. 610’s hosts make the social network an integrated and important part of their shows. 810 not so much. It will be interesting to see if KK’s Cro-Magnon tech ways are the daylight 610 needs to crack WHB’s foundation of success.

OTC: Are Frank Martin’s Wildcats Back or Bad?
“They took the game to Baylor. I think they’ve found something in Manhattan. I thought it was a great half of basketball for Kansas State.”Soren Petro, after K-State’s win over Baylor, 810 AM
GH: I heard Dave Armstrong make a similar point Tuesday night as he and Reid Gettys broadcasted the KU/CU game. I watched the Baylor/KSU game as well and I didn’t see anything there that made me think Frank Martin’s squad has turned the corner. If anything, they looked less lost than Baylor. But still undisciplined, disorganized and a long way from becoming an NCAA team.
“With all due respect, I really don’t care what other people think. I could care less. The only thing I pay attention to is that we pay attention to the things we can control.”
Frank Martin, after being asked by Nate Bukaty how he responds to people calling his team’s style of play “ugly,” 810 AM
GH: It is very obvious Martin has no regard for what others think of his actions, sideline antics or coaching style. It appears to me has changed almost nothing despite his team’s downward spiral from their early-season top-three ranking to probable NIT entrants. It’s my opinion he will begin to care as the losses mount and the heat in Manhattan gets turned up. Read on.

OTC: KU Team Still Locked In Emotional Spin
“I think we saw it in that Texas game. They were emotionally spent in that second half.”Dave Armstrong, Big 12 TV announcer, on part of the blame for Kansas’ collapse against Texas being the emotional toll on the team brought on by the death of Thomas Robinson’s mother, 810 AM
GH: Texas is good and Armstrong made that point as well. But I agree that KU looked emotionally spent for much of that game – especially the second half. I am afraid that the pall from Robinson’s heart-wrenching personal loss of his two grandparents and mother all within three weeks of each other may haunt the Hawks on the court for weeks to come.
“The guys left out of there, I think, in a pretty fair frame of mind, but we’re an emotionally spent team right now. And if you know Thomas’ situation and how much his mother meant to him, in large part because that’s all he had. The only set of grandparents he knew died within the last three weeks.”
Bill Self, after meeting with his team on Sunday following the Texas loss, KUSports.com
GH: Athletes recover emotionally quicker than coaches after a loss. But this loss involves the death of a teammate’s 38-year-old mom who leaves a 9-year-old daughter. While Robinson’s teammates are a part of his extended family, I think KU is making a mistake including the team so deeply in this tragedy. Read on.

OTC: Players & Media Turn To Twits On Whether Cutler Quit
“I’m sorry. I don’t need an MRI to confirm King Cutler quit. FOX cameras provided all the evidence I need. … Despite all their strong words defending Cutler, I bet you couldn’t pay Brian Urlacher and Lovie Smith to start Cutler’s car for the next month. Cutler is the new Steve Bartman, the interfering Cubs fan.”Jason Whitlock, who compares Cutler to Lebron James quitting on the Cavs, FoxSports.com
GH: Whitlock isn’t alone in crucifying Cutler on a subject he admits having no facts. Whitlock doesn’t need an MRI to defame Cutler to the masses. It is why today’s media is more powerful than ever and more wrong than ever. Read on.
“Read all the tweets from current and former players that defended Jay Cutler. Yeah, there weren’t any. … Hey, if I’m wrong I’ll apologize.”
Mike Golic, on the numerous people in the NFL and media (himself included) who condemned the Bears’ QB for quitting on his team, ESPN Radio
GH: The one thing in common with all those current and former players, Whitlock, Golic is that just like you and I, they weren’t there. They watched on television like you and I and then made maybe career-damaging comments about a player’s courage, heart and competitiveness that they could not have known. It is simply too high a price for Cutler to have to pay so these people can be controversial or add another twit to their Twitter account.

OTC: Texas Stabs Big 12’s Future With A $300-Million TV Deal
“The rich didn’t just get richer. The richer just got richest, if they weren’t already. … The announcement of the new 24-hour, every-day-of-the-year network that pays Texas $300 million over the next 20 years comes at a steep cost to the rest of the Big 12 Conference. The final score of Wednesday’s historic, ground-breaking news that sets Texas further apart from the huddled masses was thus: Texas 1, Big 12 0.”Kirk Bohls, columnist, Austin American-Statesman
GH: The jaw-dropping news hit this week – and the money was far more than any of us imagined. So what does this mean to the other nine schools in the new Big 12? Read on.
“Texas’ deal with ESPN is longer and more lucrative – 20 years, $300 million – than what I originally heard but it doesn’t change my feeling. Good for the Longhorns…and the Big 12.”
Blair Kerkhoff, columnist, Kansas City Star
GH: I read Kerkhoff’s comments in The Star on Thursday morning and then revisited them Thursday evening. He could not have meant what he wrote, could he? Obviously, Kerkhoff is either delusional or poorly informed – or maybe just Pollyanna. This ain’t gonna work out well for anyone except Texas – and maybe not even the haughty Horns. Read on.

OTC: KK Makes Meche Of Pitcher’s Retirement
“To watch Gil Meche just completely turn his back on the Royals’ organization for the final two-and-a-half years of a five-year contract to me is unacceptable.”Kevin Kietzman, after the Royals announced Tuesday that their former ace will retire from MLB immediately, 810 AM
GH: Kietzman began his rant on Meche by saying his comments were not personal. That is not how they came off to this listener. KK sounded bitter, jealous and flat angry that Meche would choose to end his career instead of struggling through another season or two. Almost no one else in the media whom I read or heard agreed with Kietzman. Read on.
“I respect that he did it at this time of year.”
Jeff Montgomery, former Royals’ reliever, 810 AM
Jeff Montgomery, former Royals’ reliever, 810 AM
“I’m not gonna knock Meche for this. I’m gonna give him credit for not just wanting the money. Kudos to him. He doesn’t think he can be an effective player so he’s moving on.”
Nick Wright, 610 AM
Nick Wright, 610 AM
“I don’t think he walked away cheap. I don’t think you’re owed $12.4 million and you’re three weeks away from spring training and you walk away with (only) a million.”
Kevin Kietzman, 810 AM
GH: This is where KK screwed up. He did no research or reporting on this topic. He simply went KK on it – which can be defined as passionately making a point that uses copious amounts of bitterness and untruths. It makes for good radio but it’s damn hard on your credibility. He was quickly corrected by members of his staff. Read on.
OTC: Mizzou Pressleys K-State Into Panic Mode / KU Rocks Baylor
“We know Kansas State just had a bad game. We know they’re better than that.”Gary Link, after Mizzou’s 75-59 win over the Wildcats, 810 AM
GH: That is a very, very large question. Is K-State better than what this or simply not nearly as good as was expected? Read on.
“They just flat out don’t have the players. … That was painful to watch. This is not a basketball team. This is a collection of athletes. Maybe we should stop talking about Frank’s coaching and start talking about his recruiting.”
Shan Shariff, 610 AM
Shan Shariff, 610 AM
“Losing (at Mizzou) is no bad mark. But playing this way is. They looked soft. They gave up offensive rebounds on free throws, let the ball be ripped out of their hands, and only Jordan Henriquez-Roberts played with consistent energy. … At least four times (Martin) called his team young or otherwise referred to a need for the players to get tougher. For a team that starts two seniors in a program built on toughness, there aren’t many bigger insults.”
Sam Mellinger, Kansas City Star
OTC: Is Nick Right For KC Or Simply Niche Wright?
“First of all, (Jamaal Charles) has come an amazing way in interviews. An amazing way! He’s still not great but he’s much better.”Nick Wright, 610 AM
GH: Some would say Wright might want to put in the same effort as Charles at improving his interview technique. I would be one of those. Wright’s radio work comes off at times as lazy. He meanders from topic to topic, even in midsentence. He often relishes dissing his 610 cohorts or faceless production crew in place of humor. It’s train-wreck radio that draws a niche audience but is sliding into irrelevance in the Kansas City market.
OTC: Is K-State Hoops Ready To Rebound?
“This is rock bottom. Kansas State is 0-2 (in the Big 12). My guess is the last two days, which have been a feeding frenzy for fans, media, The Star today’s got a thing (on Martin and K-State), my guess is this is the worst it will be for K-State this year.”Kevin Kietzman, 810 AM
GH: That is a mighty bold prediction when you consider KSU has shown almost no awareness of the hole they are digging for themselves. Read on.
“Now come five games that the college basketball world will use to judge their talent, resiliency and potential. Respond well, and nothing is out of reach. But continue to fail, and this could be the beginning of an awfully ugly ending. …Things are bad right now, but what if K-State is 2-6 halfway through the league season? … His teams have always played better when they felt doubted, so it would be in character to start winning now. The alternative could get ugly. There’s a lot more than one season’s results depending on it.”
Sam Mellinger, as K-State prepares to play Texas Tech, @ Mizzou, @TAMU, Baylor and @KU, Kansas City Star
GH: KK predicts a 25-point win over hapless Texas Tech this Saturday in Manhattan. It would be a nice respite from the plunge.
OTC: Is K-State’s Swoon Pullen Wildcats Toward NIT?
“This is my last go around. I’m not going to the NIT. I won’t play basketball in the NIT. I’m saying that now. If we lose and we have to go to the NIT, I will not play.”Jacob Pullen, when asked if playing in the NIT is creeping into his once third-ranked Wildcats’ thoughts now that his club is 0-2 and soon to be out of the top 25, 610 AM
GH: Pullen’s comments came shortly after K-State’s home loss to Colorado. It would not be a stretch to say emotion played a role in his head-jerking words. But Pullen is the senior leader on this team…or should be. To say he’ll quit on his team and school if they don’t make the NCAA sounds ridiculous to me. Especially since his off-court actions (and those of fellow senior Curtis Kelly) have contributed greatly to the team’s poor play.
“I would rather he said, ‘We’re not going to the NIT.’”
Josh Klingler, 610 AM
GH: But that’s not what Pullen said. I’ve heard a couple different spins on Pullen’s words but the only one that rings true is Pullen’s adamant stance that he’s not playing in the NIT. Spin it how you want but that is about as far from a team player and leader as you can get. Especially one who just came off an NCAA suspension.

OTC: Mario Little Returns In Selfish Move
“I tried to look at it as if he was my own child and also let the legal system play out.”Bill Self, on his decision to reinstate Mario Little onto the Kansas basketball team, Kansas City Star
GH: At a minimum, Little was guilty of forcing his way into a residence and physically engaging with two females and one male. He was the only person arrested for this incident. Little is not a “child” as Self describes. He is a fifth-year senior who tracked down a woman at 2:00 AM and assaulted her and her friends. I would find it difficult to cheer for Mario if I were inside Allen Fieldhouse this season. KU fans have far more in common with his victims than with Mario. They too are just average Janes and Joes who do not have KU’s powerful athletic department and fan base defending their criminal acts.
"It’s not as though Lawrence (Phillips) is an angry young man all the time and a threat to society. I don’t believe that. But there are occasions every four to five months when he becomes a little explosive.”

OTC: Pizza Bob Fescoe’s Reporting Is Thin Crusted
“610 Sports Radio’s Bob Fescoe is reporting that Chiefs Head Coach Todd Haley took play calling duties away from Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis in the second half of yesterday’s playoff loss to Baltimore. Hear more on this story on 610 Sports Radio and 610sports.com.”Press Release from 610 Sports Radio following the Chiefs loss to the Ravens
GH: I first saw this “story” Sunday afternoon when Fescoe began tweeting that he had evidence that Weis was seen at a local pizza joint shortly after the game where he was telling local pizza patrons Haley stripped him of his play-calling duties in the second half. I was not at all shocked at Fescoe’s goofy tweet. But I was stunned that 610 Sports then went public with the story as if it was legit. The radio station went with this story despite the fact Fescoe had no firsthand confirmation from Weis, the Chiefs or anyone besides a “source” in a pizza parlor. Read on.
“Bob Fescoe of 610 Sports in Kansas City reports that Haley stripped Weis of the play-calling duties during the second half of the game. Which means that the horrendous showing is on the shoulders not of the guy who left the team, but of the guy who’ll still be there.”
Mike Florio, ProFootballTalk.com
GH: Once 610 Sports sent out their email to media sources, the story was reported by others as factual. This is how rumors and secondhand comments get reported by legitimate news services. There exists an over-eagerness by too many newshounds to make a name for themselves by being first rather than being correct. Florio was burned by Fescoe’s pizza reporting and he torched Fescoe once he discovered how thin the crust was on his reporting. Read on.

GH: Haley was maybe the only upbeat voice following yet another embarrassing Chiefs’ opening-round playoff loss. On the heels of the Oakland beating last week inside Arrowhead, not everyone was as optimistic. Read on.

Take 1993: The Last Time The Chiefs Won A Playoff Game…
It has been 17 long years since the Chiefs won a playoff game. Much has changed since the season of 1993. Here are a few thoughts of what life was like here in Kansas City back then. My wife of ten years at the time was seven-months pregnant with our now almost 17-year-old son. Please add your own in the Comments section below.George Brett made $2.75 million as the Royals DH that season. We had both Brett and Joe Montana in Kansas City uniforms. Not too shabby.
Mark Gubicza, David Cone, Kevin Appier and Brian McRae were also on that Royals’ roster. Think we could use those three pitchers in this season’s starting rotation and B-Mac in center?

OTC: Is Haley Hated? Can Gabbert Be Replaced? Is Sheahon For Real?
“I think a lot of these (Chiefs) players still don’t like playing for Todd Haley. He’s an abrasive guy but winning is a nice salve…. I think this – if this team was losing games, I think this is the kind of locker room the way they operate that could fall apart quickly.”Todd Leabo, 810 AM
GH: A lot of successful football coaches do not have a friendly or even civil relationship with their players. Watch Lombardi’s documentary on HBO and you get the feeling his players feared him but didn’t love him while they played for him. That kind of respect comes well after the winning. Some of my favorite coaches were bastards when I played for them. Football cannot be compared to real life.
