The questions were good; I hope the answers are the same. Here’s what I had to say about questions that came in post-NFL Combine. I hope they are educational and illuminating, and at the lease coherent.
Here we go.

Mad Chief says: “Which player(s) struck you the most as having the “total package” (i.e. skills, intelligence, demeanor, etc.) And thanks again for your coverage, Bob. It was outstanding! Read More..
OK, here’s your chance. Starting from the moment you read this post until Friday at midnight, I will take any and all questions that involve the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the voting, etc.
If there’s something about the process that you’ve always wanted to ask, or don’t understand, this is your chance. If you think a player is being forgotten and deserves more Hall consideration, state your piece.
Over the weekend I’ll try to get my answers together and post on Monday. But here’s a warning. It may be Tuesday before all the answers get posted.
Attach your comments here.
Here’s round two of the questions you guys posed to me late last week. Round No. 1 was up Sunday night.
Again, thank you for participating and visiting the site.
LABOR SITUATION
What’s going to happen with the situation between players and owners on a new contract?
I would like to think that neither side wants to kill the golden goose that has been laying a lot of golden eggs for the last decade. Both owners and players have made a lot of money. The owners think the players have made too much money and they want them to give some back, or take on some of the risk that goes with the business of running a football team. Reasonable people can come to a reasonable agreement. If either side becomes unreasonable, then we’ve got problems.
What are the chances of a lockout in 2011?
Right now, it looks like there will be no football in 2011. But there is so much ground that has to be covered by the owners and players it is way too early to know. Read More..
You guys are amazing! What a great collection of questions you left for me at the end of last week. There’s a lot there and I’ve got to tell you, most of them were well written and thought out. It’s a pleasure to know they are some intelligent football fans on this site. Thank you.
Many of you had nice compliments on the site and those are truly appreciated. Others had some questions about the site and yours truly. I’ve saved those because coming up here later this week; I’m going to have another Answer Bob post dealing entirely with the web site.
There were so many questions that the answers will come in two parts. This is post No. 1. More questions and answers will come in post No. 2 Monday evening.
I’ve tried to arrange the questions and topics in some sort of order that will provide a path from one to the other. I’ve read all the questions and have lumped some of them together. You know what you asked, and I hope one of my answers will provide the information you seek, if not specifically your question.
Once again, thanks for participating.
OVERALL
Give us a scenario where the Chiefs could make the playoffs in 2010. Is it possible?
I have to stop myself from being a wise-ass and asking, what have you been drinking? There’s too much recent history out there to say it can’t be done. The Bengals won the AFC North, after going 4-11-1 last year. The Dolphins won the AFC East in ‘08 after going 1-15 the season before. The Buccaneers won the NFC South in ‘07 after going 4-12 in the’06 season. So is it possible, yes. How can it happen? On the Chiefs side, they must find another six victories. Then, if they can have the Chargers fall from grace a bit; San Diego has won four straight division titles with an average of 11.5 victories a season. The Chargers must fall off the podium right now for the Chiefs to have a chance. Read More..
In the last week you the reader have dropped an avalanche of comments on the site about the Chiefs and their 0-3 start.
I wish I could answer each individually, but my goodness, that’s all I would do all day.
But they are all read by me and others. I love opinion, even when I don’t agree. It’s fun to read some of the back and forth, the give and take. As long as it’s kept clean, I will not interfere, even when the comments blast me. Listen, I don’t have all the answers, but like everybody else in the media, I think I do!
A moment of time opened up in the Tuesday morning schedule so I’ve grabbed a few of the comments to address here. They generally reflect a lot of the comments post here or grabbed my attention. Some are here simply to correct the record.
Make sure you know this: keep them coming. This site has become, thanks to you and your comments, one of the most intelligent and passionate forums for Chiefs fan in any media, not just the web. Here goes: Read More..

And finally, we get to answer all the questions you left us over the weekend. I was overwhelmed by your interest and this third version should clear up the backlog. As training camp and pre-season go along, I will try to jump on and answer individual questions to certain stories and commentaries.
But finally, here are my answers the questions from visitors to the site. Again, thanks for finding bobgretz.com and taking the time to comment and e-mail us.
TENAND6 says:
Joe Namath once said if he was playing today, he would wear a shaded face mask on his helmet to prevent the defense from reading his eyes. Is there any chance the Chiefs would ask their QB’s to do this? It seems like a great idea. Read More..

I asked for it. I told you to send in your questions and you did. Wow. This is going to take more than one edition to answer them all. And now that Glenn Dorsey and Branden Albert are injured, I’m sure there are even more questions.
But read along and maybe my answer for somebody else will be enough to answer your questions as well. Read More..
It’s been one week for bobgretz.com and it’s been quite a rush. We appreciate your finding us and spreading the word. Right now our traffic has far exceeded what I expected and it’s come simply through word of mouth.
One thing I’ve learned is there are a lot of questions about the Chiefs out there. I want to give you a chance to ask them. I’ll try to provide answers.
Simply put your question as a comment on this post before 12 noon on Sunday. Then, I’ll sit down Sunday afternoon and provide answers and post them sometime Sunday evening. I’m not trying to be Alex Trebek, but try to make your post in the form of a question. You can react later to the comments of other posters and myself.
No subject is off limits, but I do reserve the right to provide an answer you didn’t want to hear.
So, the question window is open. Just ASK BOB.
