TKC NOTE: Today Kansas City's own Craig Glazer shares his thoughts on comedy, football and the Chiefs chances for this weekend. Check it:
Holiday Comedy and
Football Weekend
After you have finished your big turkey dinner Thursday, you might be looking for something to do Friday and Saturday evening especially if you have out of town guests. Getting your laugh on might be a great way to end your holiday week, especially if you took part in Black Friday shopping. Yes, even Stanford’s comedy at both locations has big discounts on gift certificates on Black Friday only. Be some of the first Kansas Citians to come to the new location, Stanfords on Broadway, located at 3700 Broadway right next to the Uptown Theater this Friday and Saturday night. The new theater is warm and cozy, and we even had comments using the word ‘spectacular’. The former Conspiracy Room is now Stanford’s Comedy On Broadway. You will find the winter comedy series both warm and inviting in this two level theater.
This weekend, the Broadway Club features the comedy of Mike Smith. Mike has appeared on ‘Comic View’ as well as Comedy Central. Smith is an edgy, brilliant comedian who has been compared to Richard Pryor crossed with Mike Epps. Yes, Mike plays to both white and urban crowds. His co-star this week is American/Asian comic, the Grasshopper. I promise you will enjoy both.
Stanford & Sons at the Legends features Brad Ellis, former KC, MO cop turned comic. Ellis was badly hurt in the line of duty nine years ago and began his comedy career here at Stanford’s shortly thereafter. Since that time he has appeared on shows such as Comcast’s ‘Trial by Laughter’, ‘The World Series of Comedy and Sirius Satellite Radio. Definitely a young headliner on his way up. Ellis does much of his material about his days as a police officer as well as his days as a US Marine. For tickets to either club, call (913)400-7500 or go online at stanfordscomedyclub.com.
Special thank you to Kansas City Star reporter Joyce Smith who did a cover story on Stanford’s in today’s community section of the Kansas City Star which talks about the new location next to the Uptown Theater.
Big names coming up for the holidays include Reno 911 superstar Carlos Alazraqui, Blue Collar star James Johann and Louie Anderson, all performing at the Legends location. Stanfords on Broadway will feature Steve Hirst from BBC-UK, and Warner Brothers’ Hype TV star, Steve Kramer.
Pro and College Football Weekend
Well what was supposed to be THE big game this Sunday at Arrowhead has lost a bit of it’s luster. Chiefs fans are somewhat down in the dumps over two losses in a row. Now Denver and Peyton Manning come to town in what is likely to be the gutshot that gives them the western title and forces the Chiefs into a low level wild card position. We all know the Chiefs lost the top two defenders in their loss to San Diego last week, that being Houston and Hali. Without these two stud linebackers, our defense is horrible. What’s odd is that Alex Smith, the Chiefs quarterback would have gotten all the praise nationally and locally if the Chiefs had won last week since that victory would have been chalked up to his passing skills. Having said that, with Denver’s severe injuries to their defense and a couple of receivers, the boys in a red now have a slight chance to pull off a victory that otherwise would have been nearly impossible. For the Chiefs to pull off the miracle victory, Smith will have to have a repeat passing performance from last week, plus a strong attack from Charles on the ground. Hey, it’s nearly Christmas, maybe we get an early gift. Remember what I always say, when you are not confident and your team has no identity (which they don’t anymore) winning against elite teams like Denver is not likely. Given the fact the AFC is either mediocre or poor once you get past Denver and New England, our Chiefs still are a threat. Not a big one. Look for the Broncos to win this shootout 34 to 28. Remember they still have Peyton Manning and it’s supposed to be warm enough for him to dominate.
On a brighter note, the Missouri Tigers will prove Saturday that they have become one of the top three or four teams in the nation. I expect them to defeat Johnny Football and Texas A&M and then face the Alabama Crimson Tide for the SEC Championship. Should they pull off this minor miracle, which they could, they could be in the mix for a national championship appearance against Florida State. I know, I know, Ohio State is undefeated and ranked above MU, I just have this feeling that a victory over two-time national Champion Alabama could force MU into that national championship game against Florida State. It could happen. Hey, I wanna be one of the first media people to tip my hat to MU and I was dead wrong about them being mediocre from the pre-season. I only picked them to win six or seven games and be a low-level bowl team. Should they defeat A&M and play well against Alabama, which they will, I would have to rank them the best Missouri team of all time.
On a far less important note, K State will smash Kansas in their somewhat meaningless game. Okay, now the picks.
College Picks
Missouri (+2) over Texas A&M teased with K State (-9) over Kansas.
FSU (-27) over Florida.
Alabama (-4 ½) over Auburn on a tease with Ohio State (-7) over Michigan.
Pro Picks
Denver (+1) over KC teased with Tennessee (+10 ½) over Indy.
Giants (-1) over Washington.
Lions (even) over Packers teased with Cowboys (-2 ½) over Oakland.
Footnote: Someone asked last week since Ohio State pushed and I won the other bet, isn’t that a loss for me. You must win both games to win your total bets. However, if you win on one and push on the other you win half your bet in Vegas (though some bookies call it a push and you win nothing, but you lose nothing either).
Our overall record stands at 41-27, let’s keep the momentum. Happy Thanksgiving. Follow me on Twitter @KCKingofSting.

Agree about the Chiefs. Other than that, thanksgiving is known for mysterious victories.
ReplyDeleteIm getting my monkey paw
ReplyDeleteTony, while I enjoy your blog, I have grown tired of all the nose to ass with Craig Glazer. Having been around KC for twice as long as you, I am quite familiar with Glazer. Eight AM cocktails at Kelly's over the years gives you a lifetime of scoop on the likes of Glazer. Perhaps the two of you along with George Guestello and Byron "Basement Mooch" Funkhouser could slide down to Union Station for some funky play time. Spare us all the Craig Glazer ass shine.
ReplyDelete728. lol.
ReplyDelete7:28 for the win
ReplyDeleteLet Glazer get his own blog. Leave his crap off yours
ReplyDeleteI am starting to like Sly better than that loser, Glazer.
ReplyDeleteGlazer couldn't pick his nose using his own finger.
ReplyDeleteTease betting is like masturbating, sure you get your rocks off but it isn't real sex, like teasing isn't real betting.
Glazer goes and looks at some Vegas sports betting line and then comes and posts a story like the picks he gives you are of his choosing. Just him stealing someone else's ideas just as he has all his life with anything he does. What truly amazes me is how all you tag a longs fall for this shit all the time.
First Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I belong to Woodside. Craig is there almost every morning except Sundays. We all talk football for a long period. Argue, laugh and poke fun of picks. Craig spends time on his picks. We often bets the ones he believes in the most. The guy checks with nobody in Vegas or any secret person for advice. We all have our own opinions. And in the end he does well. Tease bets are as tough as any. Getting two right calls is harder than I thought when I first heard about it a couple years ago. If it was simple we'd all do it for the money. Guys good at picking games.
ReplyDelete9:09 agree, some aren't even teases. Who cares if you win.
ReplyDeleteWoodside sucks. All gay men work out there including Bob 'tough guy' Thurman. Gay.
ReplyDeleteYou are dead on 9:17. Woodside is for lame want to be assholes. Byran and Harley should join. Oh they are too broke, forgot. Super Dave says hi from here too.
ReplyDeleteA clue for David from Woodside: Two team teasers with the point spread pushed to the max offer such terrible payouts that if you miss one, you'll spend the rest of the football season trying to catch up to even.
ReplyDeleteBut it's a perfect bet for idiots to pretend they are good at picking games.
For instance, Glazer will put up three two-team teasers, lose one of them thereby losing his ass, and still claim he was right on five of six games he picked.
9:34 has figured out Glazers scam as well I see.
ReplyDelete"Our overall record stands at 41-27, let’s keep the momentum."
ReplyDeleteMomentum? That is TERRIBLE since you bet primarily teasers.
That is very true 9:40 but you see Craig don't look at it that way. he will gloat and scream next fall about how he was over .500 with his picks. If a Vegas picker posted shit like that he be out of business after three weeks tops.
ReplyDeleteYou gentleman are laughable. I do make picks and record my shows on Wilkes Broadcasting in Westport. We do our show every Friday. Its is syndicated. My partner and I pick six games or less a week. WE USE TEASES. All of us in the business do that today. All of us. It pays the same odds as all bets. If its a lopsided bet you get less money, same as any bet. Some one on ones make you bet 110 to win 100, that is the norm. Yet in heavy bets on one side, that could go up to 125 or 130 against 100. Varies pending game, spread and where the action went.
ReplyDeleteYour attack on this person is wrong. He is doing it the right way. He is trying to win money, not make the popular picks. I guess you don't like him cause he often goes against your Chiefs? Not sure why. His record is darn good.
I think you don't understand how it works. Look into a bit further before you make comments that are wrong.
Well Tony that was awesome. It won't shut up the two or three idiots who just hate on Glaze, but you explained what most of us already knew. These hater commenters are just that, hateful. There hate has no boundry or logic.
ReplyDeleteWho the fuck are you 11:31?
ReplyDeleteAnother nobody?
I'm a nobody who uses my real name loser fake person, hater.
ReplyDeleteNo he meant me sir, I am at Wilkes every Friday at 9:30 AM, my name is Tony, I do the sports football picks. You are welcome to come down and meet me any Friday you'd like. I'm sure you won't. Most people who comment in the dark with no name are cowards. I'm sure you are a coward sir. I'm not.
ReplyDeleteCraig Glazer you rock!!!!!!! We love you!!! Thanks for getting him Tony!!!! Happy Turkey Day to all...
ReplyDeleteI don't even read CG's articles.. always same baloney - pimping unknown or washed up comics at his club, and random 6pt "teaser" bets that inflates "against the spread" bragging.
ReplyDeleteThese days, I just click on the "comments" - they are a hoot!
Best one recently was :
"Glazer would suck the chicken grease out of a niggers shit if he thought their was a dollar in it for him and would get him on TV for 5 seconds."
Whooooaa!!
LOLOL
snap!
Hi Craig, Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family...regarding you comments...Go fuck yourself!!!
ReplyDeleteYes we love our Glazer. He is cool and his articles are the best, thank you Tony, happy holidays to all of you.
ReplyDeleteHad me some nice food, picked with the Glaze, did my first tease online won 25 dollars had Lions and Cowboys with the tease or would have lost the Cowboy game, needed the tease to win. Thank you Glaze.
ReplyDelete7:04 is so fucking phony why do you post shit like that Glazer trying to make us believe it is someone else after you lost your ass.
ReplyDeleteOh so a nobody named Tony does the picks at Wilkes doesn't say what station and then tries to act all badass like Glazer. Let see if your station owners find the humor in this?
ReplyDeleteGlazer is a phoneY
ReplyDeleteGlazer sir you are full of shit,
ReplyDeleteJust like a dung beadle.
THE ONLY ones full of ... is you. Feel free to call the station and ask for me, Tony, the man who does the football picks on Friday. I am there every week on Friday at 900 AM I work with Jeff, he moved there from Jack FM, he is our producer. I'd sure like to meet you. You sound like a real jack ass. So you can come and speak to me anytime. After I am finished working. By the way Craig is across the way at Q and Mix those same mornings. So I know him. Good guy. Been to his club. Nice.
ReplyDeleteOh trust us Tony your ass is going to get heated.
ReplyDeleteWe can't believe anything you say hater, you hide behind a fake name. Sick of all your hate. Take it somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that anyone who places bets off what some guy says on a blog like this or from some joker on the radio barely making a living, well, they are the kind of person who is soon parted from their money.
ReplyDeleteHey I think our Chiefs have a decent chance Sunday. Denver is hurt too and our offensive is on fire with both running and passing. Don't give up so fast KC. We can win this thing.
ReplyDeleteHarley says:
ReplyDeleteI am still amazed at the hate that glaze brings in. Yes, I have been hard on him recently for his picks...his comments about Columbia...his rationale for some of his writing points..but that's just part of his being glaze and expressing his opinions on things he might not have enough information to
actually quote on.
But...nothing is every said tht
goes after his business..family..or really anything personal. That's not
fair for anyone.
Glaze may make some ridiculous
comments that lack factual
data...may overgeneralize about
things...but you have got to
give this guy credit at some point.
Many of you attack his business..
which from myself being a successful businessman can say
that glaze has survived one of the
most horrible business climates
in our lives.
The last 4 years have shaken every business...bt thru it all
glaze has been able to survive
and keep going.
The comedy/entertainment biz has
been hit hard during that time.
People were not spending money
like they did prior to the
crash.
But glaze has been able to keep
afloat and prosper during these
tough times.
He needs to be given credit for
that.
Sure he'll make some bad calls
on bets..but lets be serious folks
its just a game. Its not life
and death. I have been on him
for his back and forth comments
abou the chiefs/royals/tigers
etc...but that's what happens
when you put your opinions out
there in public.
But he puts it out there
What is especially disgusting
is the personal attacks that
are all too frequent directed
toward him.
I'm sure those who intiate them
are low life do nothing losers.
You can tell because they
have no idea what it is to run
a company/business today.
I've always said the guy has
kahoonas...he's been down more
than any dude I've seen...yete
he always gets back up and goes
down the road.
I've always contended that if you
disagree with some statement...
have facts...data to support your
point.
When glaze made some comments
about Columbia...I write a book
abut the city and how it's
ranked among the best in the
nation. And I used facts
to support my point.
All too often the clowns on here
attack him with just vicious
unfounded lies and hate.
It isn't cutting it dudes.
Theres room for honest discussion/debate and a few
jabs...but nothing like the
indecent attacks that he and
myself have taken.
Lets stick to facts/information
and stop this all out disgusting
personal attack.
Glaze has his faults..we all do..
but lets not forget that we
are grown up...and that if we
stick to upfront discussions
where its civil (and yes we can
have some fun)then the entire
process works.
In other words...the low lifes
whochoose to attack others
personally and with vicious
rumours and words need to move
on.
thanks...Your friend harley
Fuck You Harley
ReplyDeleteOne thing about Glazer you'll never meet a bigger so full of himself asshole
ReplyDeleteThere's no fool like an old fool.
ReplyDeleteYes glazer you're an old man. Get it? OLD.
And you need to drop the hard -guy routine. Myself and plenty of people I know would drop you like a sack of potatoes.
You smoke, do dope and you're just plain old, played out. I'm sure you're a lunger.youd be sucking for air in 30 seconds.
Cut the crap old man, before you get smoked one night.
Harley good comments, Happy Holidays, as for the guy with the OLD comment and he'd drop me..really. Hey at some point we all get too old to defend ourselves etc...hey we all die and getting older is not a crime, YOU MADE IT. I am in top shape, and the evidence that you are a punk/coward is simple, nobody has ever come up and tried to fight me or say anything that would cause that, other than a few real fights I have been in over other issues like throwing someone out of club due to being drunk etc...
ReplyDeleteYou little hater boy are a full blown coward. You never use a real name, you would never face anyone like me, why...fear. Nobody on this site respects your little attacks, you have been proven to lie all the time..."Glazer is a draft dodger" stupid comments like that..."They will never open on Broadway due to a liquor issur" we opened..you have endless b.s. And there are like two of you for the most part.
I don't know you or care too, nobody does.
Craig Happy Thanksgiving, say hi to Jeff and Stan. These comments are from Tom Bowman, Dan Mularky and dope dealer hater from the pill farm. Those are the three main guys. Bubba is the dope dealer. He hates you cause you kicked him out of clubs for dealing and he was too weak to stand up to you...a couple years back. Bowman is a drunk, Dan well you know. So that's who they are Craig. I know they told me and Bowman gave me a ride to work, he is a drunk bitch daily. He is just jealous, who knows why, cause his life sucks and always did.
ReplyDeleteHarley you are not so bad, I miss your comments, keep them coming, good stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou got the wrong guy glazer. Never said any of that ..someone else, not me.
ReplyDeleteall I said is I could kick your ass,that's it,and I could. I don't know anything about your business /club, could give two shits about it.
just get tired of you playing the hard role.I never confronted you, true..cause Ive never been to your place EVER and I don't associate with that circle of pussies you do.
Now what, old man?
the comments continue and from reading them its evident that
ReplyDeletethose posting them have some
serious problems.
If youis don't like glaze...don't read his stuff.
simple.
Instead of trying to bring down
someone...try building up yourself.
Lots of good people on these sites with fun stuff to read.
its for fun and entertainment
...not life and death.
If you have a bone to pick with
glaze...he's pretty visible so
you know where to get him.
And show me someone in this
town who's been down in life
more times and been able to
get back up again and do what
he's done.
Sure he's sometimes a little over the top..but if you don't toot
your own horn in business...no one
else will for you.
Woud be curious to know what these
people have done in their lives.
If the posts are true they are
losers first class.
don't make them bad people but
before you go tearing someone
down...make sure you have a leg
to stand on.
I recognize some of the names
mentionedon here...and know
their families. Good families
but why do they feel the need
to trash these people.
show some class...be a mensch...
y ou are in no position to
viciously write lies and hate
on public blogs.
take care everyone...have a
safe holiday and try to show
some restraint in the comments.
have some fun...be civil and
drop the vile hate that goes on
here at tkc.
Harley
Fuck You Harley your just as huge a sleaze ball as Glazer is.
ReplyDeletePart One
ReplyDeletehe really funny part here is how Glazer is so fucking stupid he thinks like two guys only speak out against him. Then to further look asinine either he or he has other friends post and comment the same thing trying to out somebody or make believe somebody’s and that all who read will believe it. Yelp sight has many saying the club is not a grand place. Amazon has the same thing about his book and Glazer attacks Super Dave over his honest comment posted on Amazon every chance he gets only because he is the only person who he knew making a negative post about the King of Sting. All the other negative posts are by people he doesn’t know or knows better than to mess with. Plus as well Amazon isn’t going to put up with his nonsense either. Guess what Craig, I think King of Sting it is a cheap pulp type book that shouldn’t be more than a paperback release and that's that. It's not a New York Best Sellers list book like your mind wants you to think it is. The Pitch did an article about you and many posted negative on it as well but there again you couldn't post on there like you do here and at KCC saying anything negative because it would have only proven what they was saying about you.
You have severe self-esteem issues and a major anger control problem. I and hundreds of people if not thousands if Tony and Hearne's site hit ratings are to be believed have seen you in writing saying you’re going to beat someone up, you told Super Dave and Smartman both you was going to pound their faces in more than once. I have all those comments I have saved them all because some day I know you’re going to go too far and I am going to step up and say here look at this. Your phony fight set up with Smartman only proved how low a person you are. In fact I know many who after that wouldn’t have thrown a bucket of water on you if you were to burst into flames let alone call 911 after you pulled that stunt. But then Marti dies and you have to do this oh so sorry story about him and so forth and that was when you really angered a lot of people me included. Marti was who he was no doubt and his opinions could at times be rough but he never attacked a single person or statement just for grins. I found Marti to be right as a rule most the time very funny in how he said things at times and a very self-educated man as well as smart, hence his nick name.
Here at TKC do you see Tony going off on people when they comment about what he has to say? Does Tony have his friends coming on here saying what a badass Tony is and how he is going to really fuck someone up for saying those things? Does a person come on saying hey Tony, I know so and so is the only ones saying bad things about you on here and they is all druggies and bad people just so you know? Do you see Tony posting stories about having sex with women while the kids or kid has to sit in a chair in his living room? You see Tony standing with a newspaper to prove he was there to beat someone up who was a no show that wasn’t going to even show in the first place? The answer to all these questions is no.
Part Two
ReplyDeleteNo Craig the simple fact is you rub people very wrong most all the time and would find out if you was to chill the fuck out do your radio station spots, on stage acts at your club and had a huge lower appearance in the limelight out in public shoving any and all your opinions on things in peoples faces you would more than likely find people starting to accept or like you more. Stop with the stories that people know you are not writing. Yes there are many people who know you can’t write like that. You have an editor whom you probably have to pay to take all your ramblings and put them into a semi sensible story. Stop have fools like Thurman trying to back you up saying they going to beat people up as well or that you can it only makes you look bad. This so call nightmare of what you call hate comments is of your own creation and only you can make it go away. More and more in peoples face stuff isn't the answer or is it going to gather you more friends. Charles Mansion has friends and even a young lady who wants to marry him but it still don’t change for one minute who he was and still is as a person. While some glorify your past and your deeds, just remember as many and more don’t. Society doesn’t owe you any favors, in fact you owe society to prove you can become a respectable law abiding person and then and only then will you find less and less who don’t dislike you. Your actions in the past don’t show
Part Three
ReplyDeleterespect at all, in fact your own stories and comments prove that.
LIttle Chet boy, my book SOLD AS A MAJOR FILM TO EISNER/EASTWOOD/LORENZ..for big bucks, one of five offers including Chuck Roven's from BATMAN, THE DARK KNIGHT. End of story..the rest of your rant is based on nothing. Actions of what, rub who? You? For what? Prove I am a law abidding citizen, well if I'm not what am I baby Chet? WTF do you think I do? You are like a fan following a band and thinking you know them when you don't. Grow up baby chettie.
ReplyDelete.....GLAZEAMAZING.....
ReplyDeleteHardly if ruins donutted lick the comments uins cud fukc Yin self
ReplyDeleteDamn Glaze can't you fucking ever say the real truth. What an asshole.
ReplyDeleteMajor movie my ass bought by a failure in Hollywood like you was. Who I might add has yet to make said film. Eric Eisner now there is a real nobody from Hollywood who's been a bust with everything he has touched. Just like Glazer his Daddy he isn't.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1659903/
Read it for yourself folks no lies there. Not made a movie yet that got even half the cost back on it.
King of Bullshit is more like it. Glazer when younger was just a stoner working at Daddys restaurant, then a drug dealer so what. The guy is a lowlife.
ReplyDeletePoor Glazer nobody likes him, but then it's rather plain why they don't.
ReplyDeleteEx-Con
Pathological Liar
Snitch
Etc, Etc, Etc
Wow this man is a sicko Glaze. He needs the rubber bed.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you people even waste any time commenting on this fool. Any one who has lived in KC know what a loser he is. Stop commenting on these posts and Tony will dump his ass in a heart beat.
ReplyDeleteChet for the win Glazer for the loss.
ReplyDelete
