Best of KCFORUM.NET - 6th Edition

It's been an interesting week full of hoopla at kcforum.net. Even with events as eye-popping as H2K kissing the carpet at Harrah's Casino and Wolverine Willie being banned from the Jim Rome Show for racial profiling, I'll simply let some of the quotes do the talking rather than expand on the long, long, LONG threads that already exist on these subjects.


"I guess I better not hear one more redneck reference on Rome's show. That is offensive to me, so it should not be allowed on a national show. Nobody should be able to use the phrase 'Neckcar' again." - combine_billy

"Dude, they don't get pissed for show. They carry a chip on their shoulders because, being Jewish, they've been slighted before. I've got black friends that are the same way. And I wouldn't trade any of them for an assclown like you (catkins)." - Hot Carl
W: Catkins is an admitted newbie who has quickly learned who Hot Carl is. On a positive note, buckybadgersbrother's post (which followed shortly after) was written in such circles, it helped make catkins look like a scholar.

W: Upon reading bigsexy's offer to "square things with Rome".
"Jason...Mighty white of you! Perhaps you can offer some insight having posted the words 'BLEDSOE IS A FAG' while on the job and all..." - Wolverine Willie

"So.... that was KK at the K-States game in the grass skirt with his peepee hangin out. I heard that guy did a face plant jumping out of the stands too." - SEC333

"Yah know all he (H2K) had to do was admit he got a hummer and we all would have loved the hell out of him." - *Tudge*
W: In theory, one might think this to be true. But after reading some of the statements posted this week, I believe people would be even more upset with H2K if he admitted it because he would be "bragging".

"Hundred Dollars to each man who calls H2K about Harrah's Casino.
Drop a reference to KC Forum so I know it's one of you." - bigsexy
W: After disappearing for weeks, Jabba the Hut magically shows his face again - ironically just before the new En-TERD-com sports station is launched. Promotion, promotion, promotion. It's the name of the game, my friends.

"All that is left is for him (H2K) to crash his car into his wifes due to her being caught with someone like Renshaw." - Karupt
W: The thought of this makes me pee my pants with anticipation.

"...however any semi attractive DJ gets chicks big time, so that isn't saying much..." - Stugats
W: To be frank, I'm not sure they even have to be "semi-attractive". Like my mom always told me: "Westy, there's some lovin' out there for everyone." Oh, wait. That was Hot Carl who told me that.

"For the first time in my entire life I had Royals tickets in a suite last night. Oh well, let it rain..." - combine_billy
W: That REALLY blows.

"Yeah, getta divorce...I used to do it all the time!" - Hot Carl
W: Ditto

"I will state for a fact that cheating or getting cheated on sucks. The fact of the mattter is I caught my wife cheating on me. Because Kansas is a no fault state I get to pay her for her adulteress ways. That is bullshit!" - *Tudge*
W: I love America. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world. But it's the little things like this that really bother me about our beloved country.

"Does anybody here have a wife that gives road head? If so, does she have a sister?" - Phat Endy

"Enlight of MU kicking the shit out of the Fightinf Illini. I am gonna let YOUR black and gold continue to read my post. But one mre slip up and YOU will be on the blackout list." - bwoods
W: Since when is a final score of 22-15 considered "kicking the shit out of" an opponent? You can learn a lot about someone from just one post at kcforum.net

GH: "The signing of Brian Anderson is as good a late-season move by the Royals that I can remember. But am I the only fan bothered by the fact that last week the guy was an Indian and today we’re supposed to root for him because he’s wearing blue? My loyalties are just not that malleable. I know it’s how the game is now played but the switching of players between teams as if they were baseball cards leaves me feeling like I’m rooting for Seinfeld’s laundry."
W: Uh...we're in the middle of our first pennant race in Kansas City in years. Yes, Greg. You ARE the only one who feels this way. I'm sure FrankWhite4Ever would have something to say about this.

GH: "I bet the lefty (Jeremy Affeldt) starts at least two games in September."
W: I'll take that bet.

GH:"This show (Generation Rap Sports) teams an adult host with a few area high school students and allows them to talk about high school sports. What it sounds like is that they bugged a booth at a McDonald’s on State Avenue in KCK. I heard more we be, it be, she be and you be comments on this show than at Neil Smith’s family reunion. The student named Tiffany from Pembroke Hill needs to ask her English teacher for her tuition money back. For real."
W: Please tell me Hall's not bagging on high schoolers. Tell me I interpreted this wrong. Whitlock come back! Hall needs you - he has no one to make fun of!

First off, I would like to thank all two of you that take the time to read my site. It makes me tingle inside when I think about it. Although KCFORUM.NET has recently been a melting pot of good quotes, you will probably only find a handful of the fun below that has taken place over the last couple of weeks below. I was out of town for a short period of time and was unable to completely keep up with the action. In addition, you will find some comments with regards to Greg Hall's column "Off The Couch" from the Platte County Landmark. It's gotten to a point where I cannot resist commenting on Hall's antics publically. I hope you like it!


"Not capitalizing your name is his way of showing dominance over you. It's his subtle way of taking a leak in your face minus the stains to your clothing." - Original Stonie
W: Cripes. It's been so long since I nabbed this quote, I can't remember who he was referring to; but I think it was A-Train. If I'm wrong, sue me. Hawkchief is my lawyer.

"Given the choice of watching a team full of Gramaticas or women's bowling.......I gotta go with bowling." - hawkchief

"It looks kind of like Leabo without the glasses but wearing a wig."- Colonel Klink
W: Again, I don't recall for sure, but I think he was talking about Jessica Rabbit's picture.

"This is the number one reason why the all sports entecom station will win. Not because Whitlock is all talented, or even because he recognizes talent (which he does not). But because he is just smart enough to piss people off enough to listen, but not too much to turn them away." - Stugats

"Westmar, your site has already surpassed Hall's in terms of humor. Keep up the good work and maybe you'll get lucky one day and land a job at a fine publication like the Platte County Landmine." - Hot Carl

"Thanks for the props, Hot Carl. I must admit, though, I am hoping for a job at The Pitch, preferably writing personal ads:

'DWM seeking SWF...sports radio talk show host with big egg and small johnson looking for young rabbit 10 years my senior to scare the hell out of my children for the rest of their lives.'" - westmar
W: If Stugats thinks it's funny, I feel I must quote myself.

OTC Comments

GH: "Ordinary just doesn't cut it anymore. Somebody should inform Ryan Lefebvre that he isn't even ordinary...he's just simply boring. I don't see a lot of free drinks in Beaver's future strolls through the Plaza either. If Beaver gets the job when Matthews retires the Royals will prove they have learned nothing in 35 years when it comes to radio and passionate and how to combine the two to create a marketing frenzy around your baseball club."
W: Lefebvre is boring? I can understand the concerns about Denny Matthews and his lack of any kind of enthusiasm, but Lefebvre is the guy who helps the Royals broadcasts NOT sound ridiculously boring. He's the one who DOES get excited when things are happening on the field. Greg, if you want to listen to a fan-boy on the radio why don't you listen to your buddy Kevin Kietzman a little more often?

GH: "When your play-by-play resume focuses on the fact you make few mistakes and that you're technically good, that doesn't say much about your radio personality - or does it? Denny Matthews is the David Howard of the booth - decent set of tools but very forgettable. The reason Howard was a career sub and Matthews has put in 35 years as a starter is simply competition. Howard was eventually pushed aside by talent. Matthews has never been pushed by anyone - most importantly his employer."
W: Am I the only one who sees the irony in Greg Hall telling us what makes a good radio personality and what doesn't?


GH:"The Royals pitching staff is currently a joke. Lima and Appier are throwing using the same fairy dust that Donkey used to fly around in Shrek - for about eight seconds. Our ace is in Wichita, the guy with the most wins is forgotten in Omaha and the All-Star closer is so scary even Pena is afraid of him. There is simply NO WAY the Royals make it through the next six weeks with Lima and Appier in the starting rotation. NO WAY! It may be 18 more years before we're again in this position in late August. Put Affeldt back in the starting rotation and bring Zach Greinke up NOW and get him in the starting rotation. There is no reason to have the organization's two best arms watching while the Royals drop out of sight in September."
W: While I admire the enthusiasm, there's no way you can put Affeldt back in the rotation so he can get shelfed with the blister again. Putting him back in the rotation would clearly be suicidal. And as badly as I'd like to see Greinke in the bigs during this stretch, it's not going to happen. For some reason, Baird is set on Greinke not coming up this season...but apparently he'll be ready to compete for a spot in 6 months. I know, I know...I don't quite understand it either.

GH: "Make Mac-the-Ninth Mac-the-Starter if all he's going to do is sit in the bullpen and hold Slugger's hose. This kid was a starter his entire career and he has too much talent to waste on the bench. Let Leskanic close and let's put our Mac back on!"
W: This is another idea that has been getting tossed around at kcforum.net. I'd be all for trying it...although I am scared of him throwing fastball after fastball down the pipe in the 1st inning of a game. But if he took a little off of the fastball knowing he has to go 5 plus innings, maybe he could get that movement back and actually be difficult to hit again.

GH: "Prove it. Baird's club has had remarkable success for a club that dropped 100 games a year ago. But betting on Lima and Ape is just dumb. Get the kids on the mound before this Central Division lead turns into a JoPo if-only-the-sun-and-moon-and-butterflies-and-three kids without parents-could-fly-together column."
W: I don't understand why Hall thinks Gobble, Greinke, and MacDougal would be able to take the Royals to the playoffs. Last I checked, Gobble was 0-2 in his last 2 starts, MacDougal was getting tatered in his sleep, and Greinke was still pitching against AA talent. Am I missing something here?

GH: "The latest rumor in the KC sports radio market is that Petro has accepted a sports talk gig in Texas...possibly Dallas. Look for KMBZ to go to all news the first week of September, which is also when 61 Sports plans to kick off its all-sports station."
W: And when Petro ends up going to a station in South Carolina, Hall will come to kcforum.net and attempt to explain how he was still correct about his prediction.

Geometry Class - Some Angles On The Chiefs

Up until Saturday night's game against the 49ers, I hadn't been to Arrowhead Stadium or a Chiefs game since last year's preseason in late August. Some things never change - and some stay the same.

*On the way to my seat I noticed a beer vendor...ahem...6 bucks for 1 beer? I can get a 12 pack at Wal-Mart for that kind of money. I was relieved to discover that I could get a 50 cent discount on my beer purchase if I waited in line at the concession stand. My question to sports fans, tailgaters, and drunkards alike is this: How much is too much? At what point do we give Carl Peterson the implied middle finger by saving our money and consuming all of our cocktails in the parking lot? In 2005, when he's charging $7.50 a beer and you can still buy them at the grocery store for, let's say a dollar a piece, are we gonna stop the rape-ing? Now that I've solved that problem...my next goal is to figure out how to stop the parking price from going up every season. $18? For God's sake! Apparently, the front office is trying to make up for all the people who have cancelled their season tickets.

*Isn't it now a rule of thumb when sitting in the stands that if a beer vendor hands you change to pass down to the boozer 16 seats to your right, you can go ahead and take your cut as a tip for your time and effort? Maybe not.

*New NFL Rule: When a questionable on-the-field call is under replay review by the referees, the stadium officers are no longer allowed to show the questionable replay on the jumbo-tron. The NFL is doing everything it can to make attending a game "no fun" and "no fair". Who the hell wants to sit out in the cold weather, pay $60 per ticket, $18 for parking, $6 a beer, and only get crappy replays? (see also MLB) Every year a new reason gets added to my list of why I generally prefer to watch football games from the comfort of my home.

*Now on to more serious stuff; It's laughable that the Chiefs have nothing but scrap behind Trent Green on the depth chart. Todd Collins and Jonathon Quinn are merely a couple of cheap clipboard holders as Carl Peterson continues to insist on playing with fire, gambling that Green will not get injured and he will not have to rely on one of these two scrubs to replace him. Sorry Chiefs fans, but C-Pete's just asking for trouble. If you haven't been worried in the past, be worried now. I have a bad feeling...

*Finally, to continue with the theme of "Stupid Things Carl Peterson Has Done in the Past 15 Years", I can't help but question the whole Larry Johnson-thing. It's already been presented by the KC media that Dick Vermeil was not overly thrilled with the selection of Larry Johnson in the 1st Round (let alone any offensive player), but Carl apparently used his power to veto any objections Coach V might've had. It's sad to think that Peterson's ego may have gotten in the way of his intelligence when he made this decision, attempting to send a message to Priest Holmes. A very costly message, indeed.

I'm not saying that Larry Johnson is going to be a worthless NFL player - I have no idea at this point, and neither do you. But it's worth noting that Larry Johnson is spending more time on the sideline during the preseason than you would desire from a 1st Round Pick who reported to training camp on time. If the Chiefs had drafted a defensive player in Johnson's spot, it would be all but understood that this player would see considerable playing time in the preseason with the expectation of major contributions during the regular season. Word is that this is happening because offensive players are not able to learn Vermeil and Saunders' offensive schemes quickly enough to have regular playing time during their first NFL season. My point? If the window of opportunity is closing for the Kansas City Chiefs, why would you draft an offensive player who won't be able to help you during the most important regular season of your career as General Manager and Vice President?

In closing I'd like to leave you with one more thought concerning the 2003 Kansas City Chiefs. By now I would assume that Coach Vermeil has told Carl "make Priest happy before the season opener or else". Surely Coach V realizes that without Priest he has nothing...zero...zilch. This is why I feel fairly confident that Priest will be taken care of before Sept 7th. If for some reason Peterson jacks around too much, screws up, and Priest does not play in that first game, I hope every Chiefs fan in the world sends some type of message to Carl Peterson that expresses their dissatisfaction. There are 16 games in the NFL season. The 2003-04 season is "it" for the Kansas City Chiefs. Every game counts. As a Chiefs fan paying $60 or more for a ticket, $18 for parking, and $6 a beer, you deserve to have the best player on your team suited up for all 16 games. If Carl Peterson doesn't make it happen, he is ripping you off...again.

W:After a ten day absence I'm back with some more quotes. Enjoy!

"You'd (Sweatlock) better get on the air in a hurry...your disappearing like an elephant at
a David Copperfield show." - Original Stonie

"I sure hope KK and his henchmen get run outta town by the new sports station on Radio 610
this fall. No loss for me, except for Daniel Clinckscale, who is pure class and the only
good thing about Radio 810." - HipityHop
W: It's been several days since I first read this and I am still trying to decide if Hipity
is serious. I hope he's not.

"Caller-
'Hey Kevin. Love your show, and you are a class guy. Um....since Sly Morris is injured,
what are the chances of KC trading him for Marvin Harrison? Thanks, and I'll listen off
the air.'

KKK-
'Thanks for the call. I would say that it's about as likely as me cheating on my
wife.....OOPS!'" - I-Hawk

"This is all gonna work out and next season before a Royals game Stick and JW will be
singing "That's What Friends are For." Dionne Warwick will be in the Crown Seats crying.
Afterward, JW and Stick will be hugging and sharing a wine cooler." - Original Stonie
W: This whole "Whit vs Woody" thing is embarassingly childish. In case you missed it,
there's more. Read on.

"Hey, I'm 37 & I spend money. Just not in a way or on things that advertisers care about." - DiggityDawg
W: There's only one commodity in the U.S. I can think of that fits this description.

"...the fact that you have become the focus of KC's premeir sports columnists is sad." - O&A Army
W: Even the newbies know it.

"If I ever use the phrase 'There go da' someone please slap me square in the junk." - DiggityDawg
W: "There go da" is a direct quote from bigsexy.

"Fox 4 news reports tonight that WDAF country, to move to 106.5 FM, 610 am to be
sports/talk. this fall, they also reported, KK soils his shorts." - Einstein

"...Jason, even though most of us had an idea that their was $ involved, I don't think it
was cool that you mentioned the specifics on this board. What's next...a 'parting shot' on
the Sports Reporters?" - pell
W: A good point. Why is Whit airing out his dirty Woody-ERRR-laundry on KCFORUM.net? He
gave Da Stick some cash without expecting him to pay him back - out of the kindness of his
heart. Yet now he's making a big issue about it in a public forum? Something's wrong here.

"Pell, I think this message board is a far cry from an ESPN parting shot. This message
board has like 100 readers, dude." - bigsexy
W: I think it has more than 100 readers, Sweaty. Regardless, it's not an appropriate place
for a public figure like yourself to be calling out someone...anyone.

"C'mon Whit...I was just being facetious but come to think of it, I may not be that far
off...unless of course the Neighborhood only had like 100 listeners as well." - pell
W: Score: Pell 1, bigsexy 0

"Let's see.... I've been off the air for about a month and occasionally posting in here.
The name of this spot is the Terror Dome where there are allegedly no rules and nothing is
supposed to be taken seriously....But I got two wannabe Allen Iversons running around
talking 'bout violence and a couple of their enablers running behind them shouting, 'Do it!
Do it!' Embarrassing." - bigsexy
W: It's embarassing alright. Embarassing that Jason Whitlock hangs out in the Terror Dome
and talks trash about his competition, co-workers, and Da Stick. He sure does have a lot of
time on his hands, doesn't he? Can someone get an Adam & Eve catalog sent to Sweatlock's
house?

"Hey Whit did Bledsoe wanta kick your a*s when you 'dissssssed' him?" - KCBH (Post #1)

"I've said this before. The only way to get Whitlock off Sticks back is to quit taking the
bait....and eventually he'll quit bothering. And yes, I know Stick really hasn't posted
anything except to respond back. I think Whitlock accomplished his goal and he's just here
to push his buttons some more. It must be his only sad source of entertainment." - Paintman
W: If not Adam & Eve, can someone at least go down to the West Bottoms and get him a date?

"Whitlock, I would plead to you...leave the rest of the populace out of the two of yous
PERSONAL business." - HuskerBen
W: HuskerBen wrote a lovely sonnet that, due to space restraints, will not appear in its
entirety. The above sentence sums it up.

"My six year old has more mature arguments with her friends on who gets to play with which
Barbie than you two. Whit, if this is how you spend your time, success in national radio is
not going to happen. You are too petty, and too insecure." - DrHolmes

"I like Sol Azteca, but don't ever go there on your birthday. Those a-holes put a sombrero
on your head and take a polaroid. I didn't know who were the bigger a-holes, the people
there or the bastards that told them it was my birthday." - hawchief
W: This type of talk from our future president...I like it!

"I have seen her (Jessica Rabbit) twice and the only thing she did for me is make me wonder
what happend to her vanishing cream!" - *Tudge*
W: I just realized who she is and what she looks like via her pic on the WHB website.
Ummm...I...ummm...so how 'bout them Royals?

"I never liked Montgomery. I was ecstatic the day he got that 300th save, because I knew he
would finally go away." - HuskerBen

"You know guys...Whitlock's big ego really seemed to overtake him after he won it all on
American Idol, don't you think?" - westmar
W: Hey, Stugats thought it was funny and damnit, so did I.

"Caller: 'Hey George, just wanna tell ya, I love you. You meant more to me than anyone else
when I was growing up. I was there in '82 and waved to you one the on deck circle. You spit
right in my direction, so I know you remember me. The station is great and you are a great
addition. I'll listen to your comments off air.'

GB: 'Thanks again, Kevin, but can't you wait until your show airs to tell that story, I
wanna talk about Lima's outing last night.'" - JayhawkChris

"One of the good things about George Brett is that he is NOT Len Dawson." - bigpeewee

W: Upon hearing that Paintman's wife didn't get him anything for their anniversary.
"Dude, you have a legitimate beef. If you just tell her that 'all the guys on the internet
agree with me' I'm sure you'll have everything smoothed over in no time." - Hot Carl
