Great Start With Premium Access Offer

Why dont you go after sponsers instead of your readers. I’ve really enjoyed your page, hate to see it end.

Bob I am sorry to see you are going to put a price on your website and info, and with that you will lose this reader. Because there is way to much good info out there for free. Bye Boob

Rick: We’ve been going after sponsors for two years and there simply is not enough to stay afloat. IF you enjoyed the page, understand that it’s about 16 cents a day from August 1 through Jan. 2

DanL51: sorry you feel the way you do, but it will be your loss. And by the way, nothing in life is free. Bye DorkL51

Bob, that’s really too bad. I will be among those no longer be visiting the web site, which is incredibly unfortunate, as I enjoyed your coverage of the Chiefs very much.

Best of luck to you, and GO CHIEFS!

Bob, don’t worry, your loyal readers and contributors fully understand the reality that no one could put as much time and effort as you do into a site like this without some compensation. I hope you can get the right numbers at $25 a pop. Perhaps, if you can gather enough, advertisers will take more notice and put some more ads on.

I enjoy the site for your articles, guest articles, and because generally there’s a great group of fans who post often with their opinions and ideas. I don’t always agree with you or them, or vise-versa, but the exchange of perspectives is usually interesting. Of course, there are a lot of other sites with free info, but yours is unique and I think the best for Chiefs info.

Your really should have a sign in with a password, even for non-paying customers. That way you can count the click-throughs of both.

Anyway, I’m fine with 25 bucks, and I’ll definitely be signed up before August 1.

I’m a little shocked here. I’ve been reading Bob’s site for over a year now. There is no better or more in-depth coverage…free or subscription based. The Chiefs site is a joke. Frankly, I’ve been wondering how he does it.

But the real surprise here is because not all the posts will be free; some readers feel they won’t visit at all. Truly, their loss! (Jack Smack-ites)

My birthday is in two weeks. I’m sure my wife would feel this is a perfect present…but I’m not taking any chances. I’m signing up tonight.

Thanks for the great coverage Bob…I’m glad to help be a part of it continuing.

I just want to thank you for allowing us to read this site free for 2 years…I will gladly pay my $25. There is no Chiefs season without the insight and intellect of Bob Gretz.

Ditto Mustard & Chefs. It’s $25. I spend more than that at Buffalo Wild Wings!

I’m in…there’s no season without this website.

Where? Where is there good stuff out there for free. I don’t know of a single free site with local presence that doesn’t have an agenda. The Chiefs site is beyond useless. And most of the other sites all quote Bob’s.

You can either listen to 6 hours of free sports talk and try to seperate the truth from filler…or continue visiting the best source of Chiefs information out there. Which they already knew…or they wouldn’t be here already!

[...] Bob posted that as of August 1, BobGretz.com will shift to a subscription package. Not all the content will come at a cost but much of the in depth coverage will require a [...]

I’m disappointed with the change to premium content, but I do completely understand. Bob and his staff provide remarkable news and content and should be rewarded for their genuine effort. Being unemployed for over a year, I can’t afford to pay for a subscription-based service at this time, so I’ll have to wait until I secure a job before I can start enjoying your posts again.

I just wish you would have considered a donation-based service to begin with. I appreciate everything that you do for us fans and I would honor your tireless work by donating money now and then to continue my support and gratitude. It’s just that I can’t afford a subscription right now. Sadly, I’m going to missing out.

Good for you Bob! You should probably have been charging all along. It is beyond me why anyone would think they should get the depth of what you provide for free. Sixteen cents a day? Sure! Skip one large coffee a week and you’ve got it covered dudes.

Bob, I have enjoyed your columns as well and understand why you are charging, but I will not be able to subscribe. Sorry about that,but keep up the good work.

Bob,

Count me in. I fully understand your need to offer a premium service in order to make a living. There are few sites I would pay to read or recommend to others. Yours is at the top of the list. I will sign up tomorrow as I’m checking in late tonight. I’m looking forward to the season and your continued insight and informed opinions.

Bob,

Count me in. I fully understand your need to offer a premium service in order to make a living. There are few sites I would pay to read or recommend to others. Yours is at the top of the list. I will sign up tomorrow as I’m checking in late tonight. I’m looking forward to the season and your continued great insight and informed opinions. Keep up the good work indeed.

I usually don’t like paying for content. Free options for news and the like are typically available, but like a few have said above there are no other comparable sites for Chiefs-related news. The news is thorough and Bob has all those years of knowledge from covering the sidelines with 101, which gives him street cred with the organization.

/does the chop

Bob, 100% support from me; I will sign up now. Obviously the best Chief-site can’t run for free.

Bob, Best Chiefs site hands down. I am more than happy to pay my $25. I just hope that this all works out and you can keep us informed on the Chiefs the way no one else does. Keep up the great work I really appreciate it.

GO CHIEFS

Bob, I would just like to say thanks for all the quality work you’ve provided over the years. It’s completely understandable to make the switch to a “pay” site. I for one will be signing up. Go CHIEFS!

I will try it for a year, heck, I may have suggested it long ago because of posters like rintintin (but, happy, I do not think so). But that said the site has to clean up it operation. Jan thru Mar, could not post a thing, then went thru a period where the site got the post but did not post it althought it recognized the fact I sent it. Also paying my own way, I expect less censureship about items posted, not vulgar items but things the Chiefs might feel are less than loving, those sometimes seem to go into space and disappear.

Bob–
We’ve been able to preview free quality Gretz-brand content for two years. Sure you’ll continue to have something available as free-access, but NO ONE has your combination of knowledge, experience, insight — and access. I will be signing up, rather than settling for less elsewhere.

Guys, the man’s gotta eat! The subscription is about the cost for two to go to the movies. I’d rather read ALL of Bob’s professional reporting devoted to the team we love.

=Dan=

I guess bobgretz.com is going the way of the newspaper and dodo bird. I refuse to pay for news as long as I can find it for free, even if Bob is hillarious. I’m sorry Bob, I am the weakest link……Goodbye.

Wow Bob, How dare you want to make a living from your writing. How dare you ask for the very audience your writing for to pay for what they read. How dare you use the American way to make a buck. Shame on you Bob for doing what every other business man tries to do…and that’s make a living. That was sarcasm for those that can’t figure it out.

Bob Gretz premium for $25???

Cheap at twice the price. I’m in.

Really, there are knuckleheads complaining about $25 for content that…sorry isn’t available any where else. Must be the “Hope and Change” crowd that thinks everyone else should pay their way. Well this $25 is part of that Change. Hope you enjoy that awesome coverage over at the Star.

Mr Gretz,

I’ve been reading Bob Gretz articles since you were writing for the Chiefs site in the early 2000s. There is not a better person that reports on the Chiefs in my opinion. Sure there are Arrowheadpride.com and Arrowheadaddict.com out there, but those sites just regurgitate information being written from other various sites around the web. They don’t give their own in depth coverage like Bob does. I’ll pony up the $25, because I know I’ll be getting the best coverage of my favorite team in the world.

My only questions is, now that I’ll be a paying customer of this site, what new content will or should we expect to see?

I am not sure just who some of you are, you sure do not post much. Just hope you put your money where your “warm and fuzz”s are. Site is full of info but the posts make the site otherwise Bob is just talking to himself in a closet.

Wow. I cannot believe the ammount of selfish inconsiderate banter that is spewing from the keyboards of you unworthy Vagabonds.

As somebody who knows exactly what it is like to run a website with almost no other help from anybody else, I am SHOCKED that Bob Gretz has done this as long as he has.

With no major corporation pushing his site and almost no other writer on his site, he continues to plug away, spending as much time writing as some of you do at your current job every week. The fact that you expect him to continue to do this for free because you would rather bring home chinese food tonight instead of reading his articles for the next 6 months, is mind blowing.

The reaction from readers like Justin Foote, Rick, Marc, and Dan is why it is impossible to justify spending this amount of time on an independant website no matter how good of a writer you are.

Those of you who I just named are responsible for taking away a lot of great information from the rest of us.

Bob Gretz has my 25 bucks, no problem.

Is that it Bob, seriously?

Maybe you can justify to your loving and supportive wife why you spend 8 hours a day couped up in your office now. These other guys must not have wives.

Best of luck buddy.

Bob,
I certainly understand, but your timing couldn’t possibly be worse. There are many of us out here in the same boat as you… just trying to make ends meet in a time when cash for non necessities is decreasing at a rapid rate.

I sure have enjoyed reading your columns, but my priorities are elsewhere. I wish you luck, but don’t count on seeing my name on your roster any time soon.

Count me in Bob. I don’t mind paying for something of value.

Just GLADLY paid and will buy another for my son. This is LONG OVERDUE. This site is so far beyond any other Chiefs site it isn’t debatable. I hope you make enough money to continue to do this a long, long time. $25 for a year? Are you kidding me? Anyone who buys The Star for Chiefs info would be better off dropping that subscription and joining here.

I am like elcid. I don’t recognize alot of these who are posting now. Maybe a way for Bob to generate interest for his site. I have checked this site everyday for 2 years and although at one time I thought Bob had a big hard on for the new management and it showed through his journalism I do believe he has done a very good job in the last six months of covering chiefs news. I have posted many a time on here but unfortunately at this time won’t pay $25.00 to read premium news. Not that I can’t afford it just that I to can choose to pay or not to pay and at this time I choose not to pay. Good luck Mr. Gretz. One curious question though why when the Chiefs got rid of you didn’t you go to another city and start covering their games?

Glad to see the majority of people are willing to pay, thanks Bob! You can count me in…

I’ll try to scratch $25 up by the start of training camp, because I do enjoy this site. It’s just difficult right now, I do fully understand why you’re doing this though.

What a bargain, Bob!
I have only posted a few times before but I read your articles nearly every day. No other site is more in-depth, well thought-out and generally, entertainingly, full of fresh info about the Chiefs. Coincidently, today I am cancelling a $100+ subscription to a “premium” Chiefs site that posts about 2-3 new articles a week. A WEEK! Largely because your site is 10 times better. Thanks for your work! I’ll sign up soon.

For those who want help Bob, be sure to click on the Sponor’s Ads!

Hey Bob, Just subscribed for your premium services. I was one of those that was willing to pay for your services many months ago.

If there is a choice between your valued info or none at all, especially a die hard fan like me, is a no brainer.

On the other hand, I feel bad for the premium members that will have to continue reading my opinions while butchering the english language at the same time.
Go Chiefs.

Damn!
Mr Gretz, I’ve been reading your stuff for a VERY long time, all the way back to the 80′s. From the Star to that old rag “Chiefs Report” (Bob you’d be amazed at all the places around the world that little gem found me when I was in the Corps) I’ve always enjoyed your stuff for the most part, but I’m torn here.I have a real problem paying for news.
I don’t understand why your having such a problem finding advertisers, but yet a couple young guys (brothers) that do basically nothing other than regurgitate information from other sources (very often yours) seem to have unlimited advertisers and a major sponsor. How is it that a man with your back ground, notoriety and over 30 yrs of experience can not? Something in this scenario “does not compute”.

I also have another real beef w/you. That is the way you handled a particular commenter (err didn’t handle) you know who I’m referring too! He ruined your site and you allowed it to happen! Why?!
The first yr of the site was OUTSTANDING! People would hang out here and use it almost as a chat room, I couldn’t begin to guess at how many hits you had a day, but I know it had to be enough to attract advertisers. Commenter after commenter begged and pleaded with you to do something about the pirating of names and all the spamming that that jackass pulled, but Bob, you just coasted. Why?!

Seems like you made your bed and now your not comfortable in it so you’d like others to sleep in it with you err for you. That’s disturbing to me. I’ve made it a policy of mine to never reward some one who would rather ignore a problem child than deal with it, and that’s exactly what you’ve done Bob.

I’m going to have to do some serious thinking on this before I commit. But either way Mr. Gretz, I truly hope things work out for you. I’ve read your stuff for so long, I feel like an old friend is moving away. I think your a genuinely good person, and I’ve always enjoyed your writing, so if I decide not to partake in your future endeavor there will be a void.

To sum up….It’s hard to be mad and disgusted at you for your hands off almost lackadaisical approach to your site, but still take a $25 hit on the ol’ CC.

An Appreciative, LONG time reader
JohnNdallas

First post, let’s see what I got for the money.

[...] Premium Access Starting August 1-BobGretz.com [...]

I too am confused, it seems that other sites have plenty of ads, even a iphone app for free. I’m going to miss coming to this site. Good luck to you Bob.

JohnNdallas really put it better than I did.

I need some clarification…

Many here are saying “Just $25 a year…”, and your announcement states $25 a season. What is the time interval for “a season?”

dont like it, but i said before that i would pay, so im putting my money where my mouth is!!

I haven’t decided yet whether I will subscribe. If not, I will miss the info and insight that can’t be found elsewhere.

That said, I share some of the misgivings of JohnNdallas. Although it was finally resolved, the issue with the person or persons stealing others’ identities went on far too long (I never got worked up about RinTinTin, whose ramblings were often barely decipherable and always over the top, but often amusing — but that’s another issue).

Once the site moves to a subscription basis, I would hope a bit more attention will be paid to format and site mechanics.

Anyway, good luck, Mr. Gretz. It’s obviously becoming increasingly difficult to turn a profit in journalism, and I hope you have great success.

I was definitely one of the main supporters of a system like this back when you know who was single-handedly wrecking your site. I said that a log in system and a fee would fix the problem. It seems like you are doing it a little late.

I will sign up. Bad economy or not, this is freaking America people! If you can’t scrounge up 25 bucks by cutting something out of your spending (a few Starbucks, a night out at dinner, a lap dance, a few beers, whatever) then you are just making excuses and blaming the wrong person for your financial woes. I’ll be signing up in the next few days Bob.

HOWEVER, you MUST make sure that your “premium” customers never have to deal with the type of crap we all put up with in the comments section for so long! If you allow that garbage to slide as long as you did before once I am PAYING you for use of this space, then not only will I never pay a dime again, I will divert as many people away as possible. That being said, I’m sure you will take care of us who pay to subscribe. You’ve all ready done a lot for us without charge for two years and I trust this will be well worth a mere 25 bones.

For those of you who will not be visiting here anymore and would like a good Chiefs site visit ArrowheadPride.com !

Aw, shucks. I had just started commenting more often. Oh well. I’ll take whatever Bob will give for free.

Information may be free; informed perspective and analysis of the kind Gretz brings to the table are not (or are heavily advertister supported).

I, too, believe Bob should be able to land more advertisers, but there’s only so much time in a day and I’m sure he doesn’t employ a full-time salesperson. And maybe Bob just isn’t all that saavy when it comes to that kind of stuff. Having paid service and a password and sign in system even for the free content might go a long way in helping Bob gather more information about his readership to show advertisers. They like numbers.

In the meantime, yes, if an ad is clickable, click it. That will help.

I’m amazed that so many of you are willing to sell out on what is important here. Bob is the most informed, most trusted, “go to guy” in Chiefs nation. He is a regular Joe like the rest of us. He has lived & breathed Chiefs for 30 some years. He sends his kids to college, he pays his bills & puts his pants on one leg at a time. Just like the rest of us.

There is no tyranny, no hidden agenda & no fine print. The single most talented & informed Chiefs voice is being railroaded & brushed off as if he does’nt matter. He matters to me, my Chiefs world rocks with him in it. Can you really as a Die-Hard Chiefs fan ignore or do without his gift of Chiefs info for a mere $25 bucks.

I’m sure that Bob has struggled & fought this decision for a long time. Not out of greed or glory. But for sustinence & purpose.

He is on the Hall of Fame commitee, the Chiefs voice & torch bearer for 30 some years. Yeah, he’s made a little money here & there. Not rich, not without & most of all not arrogant. He has probably turned down lofty job opportunities over the years. You want to know why he turned them down? Because he did not want to leave the KC area. This is his home… His kids Home… He loves us, he loves the Chiefs. Enough said.

I’m a proud premium member of BobGretz.com
Go Chiefs.

Bob knows his audience and I am sure stressed over this decision for some time. Fair weather fans abound, although many begged for this some time ago they now are hesitant. Some are making excuses and blaming Bob for not regulating his free and experimental blog some time ago and are still holding a grudge. Others are making threats that if Bob does not deliver they will attempt to sabotage his efforts.

I love your sight Bob but honestly don’t know why you bother sometimes.

Rick W. / Elcid

Am one of those who does’nt post all that often but enjoy reading most of the comments on this site. I sign on every morning for Chiefs news and to see what the regulars have to say. Will see y’all on the premium side….

Jimbo well said. And True Red & Gold…you are absolutely correct. I know this man – and can tell you, Bob agonized over this for more than a year. And while I don’t have to personally cover the cost of my traveling to 10 away games a year, I would imagine Bob’s expenses are in the $10K plus range. (That’s 400 subscribers just to cover one set of expenses…not to mention a mortgage or groceries).

But I must take extreme disagreement with JohnNdallas. John; since the day they began printing newspapers, they’ve charged for them. Let me ask, which is better content, the Star or Pitch. Okay…bad example. More than 68% of households in America have Cable or Satellite TV now. Meaning they pay for content they used to receive for free…because either content quantity or quality. And though, there are nearly 35 movies available daily without leaving the house, the Motion Picture industry is very strong – serving a simple human desire of being “first to know.”

Gretz’s site is consistently (if not solely) the first outlet of non-biased Chiefs information. Yes, the Chiefs site post press releases 10 minutes before they officially release it. But even when Gretz doesn’t tell you ahead of time what is coming, you get more than a simple copy of the “press release” And getting the back-story, alone, is worth the $25.

Finally, as a broadcaster for nearly 30 years – the sole decision 7 years ago for KCTV5 to drop sports out of there 6 & 10 news…was lack of interest by advertisers. Make no mistake, the NFL is growing due to TV revenue. But this revenue comes from advertising during the game, not generalized news coverage of the league. Both the NFL Network, and NFL films are in major belt tightening modes. The NFL network will likely change hands. And NFL films has begun charging for everything they do. You see less and less of the vintage-type footage based on the theories of “what used to be free, no one wants to pay for now.” And without advertising being willing to pay for it…it will come down to who wants to see it, paying for it.

I’ve covered the Chiefs since the 80′s. Bob has been inside every locker room of every game that I have been in. And I’ve been in every locker room of the last 500 Chiefs games. I’ve heard stories of Bob collasping from pain in between pre-game air segments on 101 the Fox.

By comparison, the free information you get from Jack Harry has come from the vast experience of the two times I’ve seen him at Arrowhead in that same period. It’s true, Jack has figured out that what gets people to watch is the “Jason Whitlock Contraveray over Fact Effect.” Has Priest Holmes ever admited that tumor?

Not trying to defend Bob per se…cause he wouldn’t want that – and doesn’t need that. Nor am I trying to offend you, because I know it’s a change. But IMHO this isn’t ticker scrolled news that you can find for free.

And Bob, for what it is worth. You are the finest journalist I’ve met throughout my career. What you do here, is beyond the value of a subscription. And I truly believe die hard Chiefs fans know this as well.

Best of luck on the change.

Bob, I’d appriciate if you can answer this: what kind of steps, if any, will be taken to make sure that the information on the premium side won’t be spread around to the various Chiefs’ sites and message boards?

I have no problem signing up for the service, but I imagine I speak for a lot of people when I say that I would feel kind of stupid paying for premium content and then seeing the info I’m paying for popping up for free all over the place.

In fact, I’m willing to bet there are many people who would buy premium access, but won’t because they just assume they’ll be able to get it for free.

I think clarifying this issue will go a long way towards boosting sales.

Bob,
I’ve read your stuff every day for the last 2 years. I really appreciate the content that we can’t find anywhere else. As for the posting issues, I’m sure that there are many like me that jump on the site for the news and don’t really pay much attention to the opinions of the posters.

Bottom line…25$. I figure I owe you that for the info and entertainment over the last 2 years if nothing else, so count me in. Thanks for keeping it reasonable. I was afraid it was going to be 10$/month or something like that.

Good luck.

Will you let us know sometime how many subscribers you have?

Helping to reduce the US trade decifit – 25$ from Germany on their way!

I’m in but I can understand some not jumping in if they are unemployed, etc. ‘times are hard’ but as for myself I would spend about as much or more meeting some friends for wings and some beers on one trip to Hooters. LOL

Bob – Joining is just a little payback from me for all the years i’ve been reading your articles on the Chiefs for free. I’m an old Chiefs fan, started following them when they moved from Dallas to KC and i’ll still be a Chiefs fan when they drop me in a hole and throw dirt in my face.

Insider,

Awesome post!! I couldnt agree more

if Bob had returned my msgs about my good friend passing away…but I got no news…nothing…and that sucked for the rest of my family.

as for the website, you know…I love AP,Gretz…but with looney having his practice reports…I cant justify paying 25 bucks for some camp reports.

those with the “gosh, how dare you charge” in sarcasm…really guys? how much free content exists? A TON…how much pay content is worth it…WPI? HA! Espn Insider? HA!

people then call the KC site a joke…WHAT? go to the blog/Looney…the practice reports are near identical. Bob does provide a nice perspective, one that I do respect.

sucks arrowheadpride wont be able to link bob’s camp stuff…I may fold and buy a subscription as I was here DAY ONE under and alex screen name.

best of luck either way…I still wish I was informed around the time of FG’s passing

Wow! We may actually have to skip a haircut or 2 to get on the site. I know the economy sucks and you may not be able to afford the subscription, but $25 really is nothing for what you get here. I’m sure we’ve all had to cut back, but do we really think we can continue to read Bob’s hard work for free? BTW Bob, thanks for the free introductory rate for the first 2 years! By my count, you’ve had close to 2,500 posts since you started. That calculates to a mere 2 cents per post. Talk about your 2 cents worth..ha ha… Count me in….

There are too many good comments which I don’t need to repeat to make a point. I too have read here since day one. I read Bob’s stuff on the Chiefs site before that. I too will join as I include this site as a must read every day. Times are tight here too. Most of the time a person affords what they want to afford. I’ll find something I like less to pass on to pony up to a quality site. A member get together at Gretz day at training camp would allow us to put faces with the names which would be cool. Count me in Bob!!

i’ll for sure sign up! i have been a loyal reader/follower of bob since the early 90′s when i caught the “cheif’s bug” (bob, i sure miss those sideline reports from the radio days!)For anybody who has been around bob’s writing and insight for anytime @ all,you understand that $25 is a SMALL PRICE TOO PAY for the quality of content you will receive not to mention the entertainment. i am one of those “who are these guys” that hasn’t ever posted, but sure thought about it during the rin tin tin days! But i have enjoyed all the comments you guys have been making over the last 2 years.

Bob,

I will pay the $25.00. I have no problem paying this. My wife will roll her eyes, and say another subscription. I make your site a priority evereday and wish you nothing but the best.

Thanks
Gary in IL

Great Bob! I was sad when you weren’t writing at the chiefs webpage, then I found out you were still writing I will happily spend 25 dls which is like the tank of gas I use every week! Then maybe I’ll quit my nfl sunday ticket anyways which is like 80 dls a month

Don in Wichita, “Gretz day at training camp!” I love this! BOB, please make this happen. Somebody volunteer to grill burgers or something.

I seriously love that idea. One-on-one with the most knowledgable guy on our team. And a chance to put some faces with names.

How have we not though of this before?

How does one sign up without a credit card?

You got to admit Bob, A party (BBQ) with your peers is a great idea. Nothing fancy, just a bunch of rabid Chiefs fans celebrating their team together. Even if you make a cameo appearence, it would be special, just the same.

Go Chiefs.

Gump. Just sign up with PayPal. It’s free and you don’t NEED a credit card. They’ll send an e-check to Bob. Totally safe. I’ve been using PayPal for almost a decade without any incident.

Surely someone in KC knows how to grill??………

I give up. You’ve obviously given up too. Anyone can see that this site is not even close to having the content that would warrent having paid subscribers. I really will miss your opinions and the style in which you express them.

Bob I will go ahead and get a subscription now. Thanks for taking the time and answering responses. I always thought you were an employee of the chiefs. The radio station made a mistake getting rid of you. Also one last comment. Rin tin tin was annoying as hell but his comments never bothered me. I always though it was fat a$$ whitlock!!

Hmmm…

“I really will miss your opionions…”

doesn’t’ seem congruent with

“Anyone can see that this site is not even close to having the content that would warrent [sic] having paid subscribers.”

Just signed up. The info I’ve read this last off season has been worth it. Perhaps you can use some of your new found wealth on a site redesign? I like the simple, clean layout, but some new graphics wouldn’t hurt. Maybe something to celebrate the transition.

For those of you who will not be paying for this site, go to delphiforums.com. Click on discussions, go to sports/recreational, go thru a page or 2 until you see the chiefs link. Sign up for free, and you will get all your up to date Chiefs news. This is the first time I have been to gretz site. Whoever paid got ripped. Nothing against you Bob, I will not pay for free news. You may get it an hour before me on occasion, I can live with that. Bob, if times are hard for you, maybe you should get a job that guarantees you a weekly check. I know you love the Chiefs more than anyone, but you got to do what you got to do.

I’m glad you are charging, $25 is cheap.
Bob hang in there! You are the best source for Chiefs info and analysis. As a 31 year Season ticket holder I appreciate your efforts and miss you on pre-game radio.

For All of you entitlement Asshats bitching about the premium site charge… Hey if your not living in your parent’s basement and driving a 20 year old Volvo, stealing broadband from your neighbor’s wireless router..being responsible has a price. Mr. Gretz is an experienced sports journalist. He loves the Chiefs and the NFL. It’s first class reporting. He is right a lot and wrong sometimes. But he makes a salient, articulate case when he is wrong.(ie Larry Johnson) He’s a pro and you don’t get that cred from perusing the sports media websites from the basement. 25 bucks is a weeks worth of Twinkies. Hey if you want free there is always Wilbon and Kornheiser on the Lebron channel and that is about the right price… shut up and pay up…Geez you people wear me out. PS Bob paid in full tonight!
