Gretz also provides us outsiders some access on his blog. I’d be careful about biting the hand that feeds you.

I’m with you on this one Crane, Gretz as a sportswriter is a joke, he’s a tremendous ass kiss, and his columns never offer anything of value.

I wouldn’t call Bob a bitch, but this was definitely a bitch move. Why does nobody want to hear about Brodie’s tears? Because putting one of the most injury-prone QBs ever behind a patchwork line was a recipe for disaster. I think he’s trying to drum up sympathy for the Chiefs, i.e. “Sympathy for the Devil.” Not going to get it here, Gretzy. Dude is Fox News to the Chiefs’ GOP. I don’t think he’s a bad person, just King Carl’s ultimate yes man.

As for Brodie’s new surgery, I can’t help but think of Heroes…

Save the quarterback, save the world.

If the Chiefs were someone from the show, they’d definitely be invisible, but only on Sundays. But if Chiefs Nation were from the X-Men universe, we’d be Mystique. I wish we were Wolverine, but every time we try to become something else we always end up just being blue.

Funny stuff, Crane. I’m going to try and score an interview with Bro-Bro’s agent.

“showed emotion about their sport, about their team and about eachother…I think we need more of this type of passion in the Chiefs locker-room.”

I think we need more of this type of emotion from our f’in owner. The spoiled little rich kid at the helm shows no emotion or concern for this team, he isn’t even in town on game days. You want to designate someone a “Bitch”, you don’t have to look much further than Clark Hunt.

Yeah Gretz is cool and I see nothing wrong with his report. Gretz brings us real life in some of his reports – not just the sanitized “news” story.

I like your commentaries typically, but I really don’t get this one. It is a reach really to find something to complain about. I read the same article and it showed me alot about Brodie really. In a way it completely epitomized the Chiefs season and how many of us fans felt, like we had been twisted around by two 300lb men and our seasons (and maybe more) ended. I think Brodie’s tears are not for us to be empathizing with him or anything like that at all. To me it was years and years of hard work in college and high school and most of all the past two years ended in one play (as he will likely not ever be a starter anywhere now.) It wasn’t pitiful or pathetic, it was to show the commitment and passion he had already put into this game and was now completely stripped of him. It would be nice to see more of this kind of emotion in the rest of our team.

Michael Irvin I think talked about it in America’s Game: 1992 Cowboys. That when they were horrible in the late 80’s they would lose constantly and there were people consoling him saying “it’s ok…we’ll pick up our check Tuesday.” And all those people were ushered out, a new locker-room culture was created and a dynasty was formed. WHY?! Because they cared and showed emotion about their sport, about their team and about eachother…I think we need more of this type of passion in the Chiefs locker-room.

Back to Gretz, I think he understands how Chiefs fans are feeling right now and understood the symbolism of Brodie’s tears with the attitudes of all Chiefs fans. He is constantly apologetic for Carl and the others but he does not hold back on what he knows is wrong with this team.

holy hell this was long and unnecessary…and unorganized…
