What About Bob
Bob Gretz has been writing and talking about sports for over 30 years, spending most of his time covering the National Football League. That began with the 1977 season of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he followed them through two Super Bowl championships and into the 1980 season when the black and gold dynasty ended.
In 1981, he moved to Kansas City to cover the Chiefs for the Kansas City Times and Kansas City Star, and he’s been hanging around Arrowhead Stadium ever since, through seven head coaches and hundreds of players. He spent 18 years as part of the Chiefs Radio Network and has been the lead columnist on the team’s website kcchiefs.com for the last 10 years.
Along the way he’s also done work for Sports Illustrated and Sporting News. In 1994, his book “Hail to the Chiefs” was published, covering not only the team’s 1993 season, but its history. His writing has been honored by the Associated Press Sports Editors, the Pro Football Writers of America and the Golf Writers of America.
For the last 12 years, he’s been a member of the board of selectors for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Gretz grew up in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania (yes the Groundhog town!) and received a bachelor’s of arts degree from Point Park University in Pittsburgh.

If you go back and read all of the scores the numbers are not correct. I don’t think all of the final scores are in the correct order. I just thought I might tell you that I don’t remember wining 6 games.
Congratulations Bobbo.
I’m very happy for you.
“This is one small step for Mann, and one giant leap for Gretzkind”…
this is a great job for you, and if I found you anyone can
Greetings from Mexico my man…True substance is not destroyed by time but encapsulated in it…As always I’m looking forward for the great insight on everything related to Chiefs Football provided by you…Talk to you soon!
Love the daily updates, Bob. We’re going to the Super Bowl!
As a longtime fan of your honest assessment of all things Chiefs, I want to say congrats on the new website. You’ll continue to be the guy I go to for the truth (at least the way you see it). I’ll miss having an actual reporter on the Chiefs sideline this year.
Glad to see this website!!! You have always reminded me of the guy in high school who ate, drank, and slept “sports”, the guy who always had the inside skinny on anything. There are too many media clowns in KC, you are the real deal! Keep it up!!
What a Great Gretz Website!! You remind Me of a guy I knew in high school too! I have known you were the real deal since 1972. Keep up the good work.
Gretzman! Site is fantastic! So glad you are back to writing. It’s always good stuff. Call me, I think I have some advertisers for you! All the best to one of the best! LL
Bob,
I am not sure what happened, but pre-game radio without you is not the same. Riding in the car on the way to tailgate it was “YOUR VOICE”.
I know changes occur everyday, but this one was hard to swallow. We miss you and want you back!
I still have your autograph that you gave me during a caravan following.

I totally agree with Brenda on missing you on the radio. That’s what made me do a search, and look what I found. In Wichita we don’t get as much Cheifs news as in K.C. but we want to know as much and what a great way to stay informed. I am telling all my freinds. Please keep it up.
