“No one here disrespected why are you doing it?”

What does that mean exactly? Did you maybe forget a word or two? I mean your first sentence almost made sense, so I had such high hopes for the second. Alas, it just got worse as time went by. Much like a Carl Peterson draft pick.

The thing about us “Carl Haters”: we don’t hate on Carl because we think its fun. Believe me, this last 10 years has not been fun. We hate on him because he has been bad at his job for a long time, and we are the ones who have paid the price. If people are doing their jobs well, there is no need for a “whipping boy.”

They’re jealous because they’re unqualified nee not regular ‘members’ of Bob’s discussion blog – they’re even lesser/smaller than kevin kietzman…

“There are those that will tell you he’s one of the most caring and compassionate people they’ve ever met, who if he has a fault it’s his extreme loyalty. Imagine that: the worst trait of a man is that he’s loyal? We should all be so lucky as to have that fault.”

- Wow. Now that’s a first-rate ass-kissing. Well done Gretz, well done. Quick question: Does Carl like it when you write this stuff or is he a little creeped out? Seems like we’ve got a “Single White Female” situation here.

Once we let Herm go, things will get back to normal

That is if his minions will just shut up and let him go.

It Was Time!

To borrow the words of Jack Nicholson in Batman…….

“This Team Needs An Enema!”.

Rin tunes into ‘stubby’ aka kk for the guests he sometimes has, Mitch Holtus primarily during the regular season, and the other guy in the AM name of Petro as he offered Grunhard & Croyle.

Other than those few & sporadic others, that tin can and a shoestring operation is laughable. I’ve never heard of a “largest sports station” in the country as they refer to themselves that operates with such ridiculous techincal expertise … they give new meaning to the old broadcast adage “one moment please.”

They are the Detroit Lions of the airwaves…

Nobody understands what we go through. Defending Carl Delano Peterson at all costs is our job and we do it proudly.

Soon we shall join the King on the sunny Florida South Beach and say goodbye to these midwest hillbilly, camero driving, mulletheads forever.

ViVa La Carl!!!!!

Never fear carl will be live at approx. 2PM tomorrow. So this may be a case where the corpse keeps climbing out of the grave, where we keep hitting him with the shovel.

A few days after Clark’s announcement regarding Carl, Drs. Kietzman and Clinkscale were conducting another one of their daily kickings of the dead horse. Finally, when they took a breath and the topic was changed, they pondered other high-level topics like the coaching carousel in college football, and opined that much of a coach’s reputation is formed by the media (i.e. Bobby Knight). They said that often the true character of a coach is only known by those close to them, such as players and peers.

Obviously, the irony was missed by these rocket scientists that they have spent a good amount of their careers forming others’ opinions of Carl Peterson. In fairness, I thought it was also a nice touch that they tried to book Jared Allen and the agent for John Tait to help balance their conclusions of the last decade.

Keep up the good work, Bob.

lol

That being said, the chiefs left LJ on the 53 roster when they could have put him on IR and freed up space.

The exact same thing could be said about Donnie Edwards whome they only put on the IR for the last game of the season.

Its one thing to try to guard player status to keep the enemy from a competitive advantage, but it is entirely a diffrent thing to end up keeping players on the active roster who are unable to participate for extended periods and thus putting your team in a competitive disadvantage.

The equivalent would be if Belicheck told the media that Bradie’s knee was ‘swole’ (hermism) and leave him on the 53 for the season.

Shanahan I hope never becomes a Chiefs HC, its bad enough not to like Denver but to bring him to coach the chiefs, people like sleeping with the enemy…

“Rin, You must be going on no sleep what so ever and be punch drunk. Shockingly, I’d have to agree with you as well. DeCosta has my vote for GM, and as much as it turns my stomach, Rat-face might actually make a (gulp) HC here.”

- the only thing is ‘if’ KC goes with a younger or younger GM the possibility exists the new GM will want a coach who is fuzzy-cheeked like him, whereas a Shanahan will be, what, 57 in 2009?

Just something to consider.

“Rin you irritate , but very nicely put.”

- like Reggie, Rin is the straw that stirs the drink…

“the local boy’s in the Media and Peterson havin a male member measuring contest. (I wish he could have gotten kietzman fired, I’m sure he has nothing to measure)”

- well, ol’ stubby (kietzman) just ‘disappeared’ entirely. How ‘small’ is kk?

Now he’s on the radio with his sidekick clinker?, essentially deriding the MIA Dolphins/their fans/ their future etc. by way of when/if Carl Peterson might go to work there.

Small and petty does not begin to describe this kk guy. As Bob Gretz said, this kk is probably chagrined he’l no longer have Carl to denigrate and with that loss so too his questionable show.

Continuing, just say NO to Pioli, NYET to Cowher, HELL NO to Schottenheimer, NO to Stoops, and, NO to McDaniels.

Consider carefully Eric DeCosta & Mark Dominik, definite GM maybes.

Mike Shanahan? Rin prefers Herm, but if he would leave Ratface gets the cheese. Sleeper: Rex Ryan, BALT Ravens.

Word.

I guess the obvious question is: as Carl Peterson was ‘so’ good at producing revenue for the Chiefs why wasn’t a better football man brought in afore now to handle that aspect?

Ego? I can only imagine what might have been for Kaycee if a man as talented in a football sense as Peterson was in revenue, had been Peterson’s equal or alter ego in leading the football side these last 20 years.

When does the desire for ‘winning football’ which I describe as Championship(s) displace attendance marks? Aft 20 years of Peterson some may say, yet dwindling attendance now is eerily reminiscent of Stram’s last days 1974 & Steadman’s last 1988, so that while both football and lost revenues may go hand in hand in the final analysis there’s really no difference tween the success Stram or failures Steadman and Peterson when the bottom line starts leaning in the wrong direction- it seems the only real culprit for change.

Hank Stram said Lamar Hunt panicked in 1974 when Hunt fired Stram. Loyalty? To what? Dollars, for KC hasn’t had a real football team in a complete sense since Stram’s salad days but dollars by all acounts seem to be in good stead.

Too harsh? Too simplistic? Show me how if so, and I’ve read/heard all the excuses.

Lamar Hunt’s loyalty? Perhaps – but if Lamar was loyal to Carl, why was he not also to Stram when Steadman was doing his backstabbing early 1970s?
Beyond this $ element, I’ve never understood how Hunt could fire a Stram after but a single one/1 losing season his final 11, but would stick with a football man (nee Mega-Man – CEO/President/GM) Peterson despite ‘decades’ of also ran football. Again, the most plausible answer which presents itself is the one involves former US Presidents heads displayed on paper. Loyalty & personalty are secondary, my opine.

The very fact Carl helped put a small (indeed a cow town according to many) place like KC at or near the top of NFL attendance yearly became in essence his achilles heel and strangest paradox when compared with the football team’s fortunes.

That he presided over an also ran at minimum for the last 10 years & some might say for the entire 20 years made his expertise turnstile even harder to accept or fathom.

It also didn’t help that many folk – including Rin – via personal perspective/perception felt Carl’s personality was too Eastern if you will, or maybe to the extent the public was exposed to him/it in general. Many folks didn’t like CP but many people didn’t like Stram either – right or wrong in both cases these 2 guys were percieved as being superior…Rin understands.

Egos be tolerable if winning’s the thing but it seems to me that both Stram & Peterson became a whole lot less loveable when winning exited – or never really existed at all in the truest sense said, the latter fellow.

Life’s tough in the NFL … so are KC fans after wandering lost in the wilderness with their team(s) these last 40 or so years.

Any way, It’s good to see you slumin today. LOL.

The chiefs wanted to limit the info available about the team. This is how we find out that LJ has a broken foot from a packer reporter before we hear it from KC media…and all season long we hear from the chiefs that his foot is ‘swole’ (hermism).

The most shameful aspect of the chiefs trying to ‘get the media’ has to be the Rufus Dawes “columns.”

Apparently it seems that those associated with the chiefs (Gretz included) have chosen to ‘go down fighting’ rather than embrace the innevitable and much needed change that will surely be coming to the orginization.

You can drop the pucker and quit kissing up to Carl Peterson. It’s okay. He’s gone and my only regret is that it didn’t happen about 10 years sooner.

You have an excellent site, filled with quality information on any number of issues and people involved in the sport but give the CP lovefest a rest?

Thanks.

As Bob noted about the sports media in general, this is a guy who never has to answer for the things he gets wrong. If he did he’d be lucky to be writing obits for some rural county paper. All he has to do to keep his cushy job is stir the pot.

And it’s hilarious how Whitlock gets all pissy about Peterson not talking to the “legitimate” media, and in the very next sentence says it doesn’t matter what Peterson has to say. Those grapes tasting a little sour, Big Sexy?

Thanks for this fair assessment of Carl Peterson. Amid all the retrospectives on Carl, no one has mentioned that he is the one who ripped up the turf at Arrowhead and put in natural grass. Now that may not seem like a big deal to many people, but it was to me. For that, Carl, Thank You!

Carl has never had fair treatment from the KC media, and sort of like George Bush, he didn’t really care. But I think history, especially when the new Arrowhead appears, will show that there was much to appreciate in this man.

While I’m at it, thank you Bob for not stooping to Jason Whitlock’s level in your comments. We all know he has been very unfair to you and I believe you have handled his childish insults with a great deal of class.

But, I never quite understood the need for so many to “Satanize” the guy. I guess it’s easy to sit behind a keyboard or a radio microphone and be critical, though. It’s easy to have an opinion on how the job needs to be done, and the decisions that must be made…when you don’t have to actually MAKE those decisions.

“Be careful what you wish for” is right. A new GM will not guarantee success.

Newspapers are the worse. story after story, day after day spewing their personal opinions and beliefs as opposed to the news story itself. They want to mold the unsuspecting public into thinking their way. No wonder they are all going broke…
I could go on, but I won’t..
Thank you Mr. Peterson, it was a Great Ride….. God Speed.

Say what you will about Carl, but Bob’s quote here is dead on. I remember not to long ago Carl was conducting a radio interview with Soren Petro on 810AM and suggested, after seeing his ratings, that he should move himself into the prime time spot. Boy oh Boy when Keitzman got on later was he ever flying off the handle about that one. Keitzman could not believe that someone would dare question that someone could do his job better them him.

Bottom line is this: Carl needed to go because it was time for a change, BUT the things the media would drum up on Carl over the years was absurd. Bob is treated by many as a lackey just for merely stepping back and taking an objective assessment of the situation. Thanks for being the voice of reason in the KC media for these past 20 years.

I usually love your thoughts and opinions, but I think it’s safe to say that Kansas City is done with Carl and ready to move on. I respect that you knew him well and probably want to defend him but let him go as the rest of us have. Just like in football you leave the past in the past, because there’s nothing you can do to change it and it doesn’t do anygood to dwell in it. Come on Bob let’s move on to 2009 and make it a great one!

I was doing a slow, miserable burn last night watching Jared Allen get to Donovan McNabb on every pass play. Even though he’s a dunce, he’s a pro-bowl DE dunce. {sob}

Carl helped select the best draft choice made in my adulthood– DT. Still, the organization’s personnel moves in this decade have been questionable. Trading top draft picks for Coaches??? …some things went wrong.

All the rest of that is just the local boy’s in the Media and Peterson havin a male member measuring contest. (I wish he could have gotten kietzman fired, I’m sure he has nothing to measure):)

As far as the way Peterson handled his final press conference; He could have at the least had a press release sent out to ALL sources of media, then give Bob the Exclusive live interview.
Peterson little stunt was a kick in the teeth to an awfully lot of people that appreciated what he accomplished in KC. Many of those people won’t ever hear Peterson’s interview with Bob.
I am a Peterson supporter (although I do agree it was time for a change) but this little stunt smacks of being Chicken $h!% imho. Peterson is coming out looking small and petty.

With a cold eye to this article, where was all this “good” PR while he had some time left on the job. For 20 years carl was god’s gift to the KC chiefs but you PR guys said nothing. Now he is gone you cannot say enough good things.

PS for what it is worth, your myth #5 does not agree with my version of myth #5, enough said about truths.

Give me an articla that is not constantly defending Carl Peterson, for once…would ya?
