Chiefs might have been involved, but I can't see Reid asking for KK to be fired. All I know is that WHB isn't as good without KK. The other "A teamers" there aren't as good, except for perhaps Petro, but even he seems to be becoming more bored with the job and angrier at callers as he gets older. Petro's wife is a KU grad, so he increasingly lays off any negative KU stories or tries to put more positive spin on them so life at home is as stressful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-60390274699677293722019-07-05T21:37:54.686-05:002019-07-05T21:37:54.686-05:00I already miss Kietzman.

They laugh at their own jokes way too much and talk over each other like preschoolers. It's terrible radio. I'm about to turn off local sports radio for good. Petro increasingly seems to go down the lamest "rabbit holes" in terms of subject matter. Maybe it's because of the Royals pathetic season and Petro and the others have too much time to fill for their abilities. Also, Bukaty on 810 seems like he's lost any enthusiasm for talking about sports outside of soccer and KU basketball a long time ago. He seems so tired and like he's just mailing it in now. Time for him to move on to something he can get excited about.

When my golfing buddy first introduced me to him he asked what I did for a living and I told him I was a fossil fuel dispersal engineer specializing in construction of dispersal facilities and left it at that It was the second time I saw him that he called me an SOB for not clarifying that what I did was build and remodel convenience stores. Saw him a few times socially after that at the old Longbranch on the Plaza and Metcalf and played golf with he and Jack Harry twice at Wolf Creek golf course where my golfing buddy was a member I will give him this though he is fun to play golf with and really isn't too bad and doesn't cheat on his score nor does Jack Harry like some other local celebrities I've played golf with. (Carl Peterson and George Brett come to mind) <br /><br />KK only owns 6% of Union Broadcasting and that's hardly enough to leverage his position. he had no problem criticizing and demeaning other people, their opinions schools or positions on a topic but when it came and other people were critical of him he'd shut them down. Considering he literally got caught with his pants down with an intern and was legally cited for it and shot his first marriage to hell because of it and they worked overtime trying to keep that quiet he's hardly one to judge how other people handle their own family matters. <br /><br />Personally as to whether he deserved to be fired I'm rather ambivalent. I think they should have shut him down without pay until September 1st. Neither the Chiefs or Reid haven't commented on the matter and I don't expect they will. Perhaps this is just an example of reaping and sowing. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-17828027049607241372019-06-29T10:42:03.029-05:002019-06-29T10:42:03.029-05:00A predictable outcome...

He knew he went too far with Reid and apologized for it. He brought more informed opinions than most local sports show hosts. St. John knows MMA and boxing well, and is funny as hell, but I don't think his insight into other sports is that great. As a sidekick, Bukaty brings absolutely zero to his role. He should gone. Petro is the most knowledgeable, but he's married to a KU grad, so he seems to be less and less interested in finding any fault with KU's sports missteps. I do think Kietzman was getting tired of the job. Like most of the other hosts in town, when the Royals stink, they seem to talk way too long about other topics. In Kietzman's case, it was Tyrek Hill and Andy Reid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-54702371799024386192019-06-29T01:41:42.697-05:002019-06-29T01:41:42.697-05:00Please let's not pretend that KK's motives...Please let's not pretend that KK's motives were altruistic.
