So ... watched the show and here's the short(ish) version for those that missed it:
- Harry was his usual bitter self. Dude needs a hug. Also basically cupped what little manhood Kietzman has by stating that KK has the #1 afternoon sports show in KC ... as if that really means a lot or something.
- Kietzman interrupted constantly and pulled some $800 million figure out of his ass (apparently, he didn't read the executive summary. Maybe if an intern delivered it to him orally he'd pay attention). He also blasted the 1990 leases and Shields even though, last I checked, she wasn't responsible for those leases.
- Tolbert talked about the tax being on children and disabled. He also admitted that he hadn't read any of the papers.
- Nash actually tossed the lease across the table at Sly at one point -- he said something was in the lease when, in reality, it's not.
- Sly listed facts and was incredibly classy and respectful. In other words, the opposite of KK.
- I think, if given the chance, Reiderer would kick KK in the nuts -- he and KK got in a rather animated discussion.
- Helling actually brought up some good points when he could get a word in above KK and Nash -- pointed out that the county has already paid more than $100 million to do pretty much nothing, and that fixing them once and for all would be a good thing.
That's about it in a nutshell -- the pro side used facts and logic, the against used interruptions, raised voices and emotion. Was quite impressed with Sly (although he did bring up the "do it or they will leave" argument, which I wish he wouldn't have).
