ChiefsPlanet A few words from Gblowfish - Page 5

From a private conversation with gblowfish. Posted with permission from gblowfish.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HI BRC: I think most of the posters on this board think you're a good egg. This whole deal today got way out of hand based on what this thing really was, two angry guys having an exchange. Some of the questions that have been asked, here's some feedback: Jack Harry sent me an email on Monday and asked me if Haley really did this, and to describe what happened. I sent Jack a lengthy explanation and said "you should ask the coach if he had a run in with a fan after the game, and if Coach used an obscene gesture." I also told him that EDITED NAME, sitting next to me, also saw this go down, and he could email EDITED NAME and get his input. EDITED NAME gave the same explanation. Mrs. Blowfish was seated on my right. She also saw this happen, but she's a EDITED PROFESSION, and the last thing I wanted was to get her mixed up in this.

In journalism terms, these are three witnesses too closely related to collaborate the story. I did not ask Jack to talk about this publicly, and I don't think he should have until he had gathered better evidence. I think he should have waited until he could find another positive witnesses to confirm what happened. He did not lie to the public, his commentary was accurate. But neither EDITED NAME or I encouraged him, we just answered his questions the best we could. Apparently the press had not been able to locate anybody else to confirm the story, and probably the only others who saw it happen (it was real fast, just a quick gesture lasted only a second) were the Chiefs own security guys, and they're not going to risk their jobs by ratting out the coach. No photos, no other witnesses, so the easy PR thing is deny everything. And discredit the source of the criticism. No pictures, he said she said, and Game Over.

I see no good in pressing on this any further, unless somebody else can confirm what we saw. It pisses me off that I'm now suspected of being a liar. All I can do is tell the truth, and I've done that since the beginning of this whole mess.

I hope you and the rest of the CP understand while I let this thing play itself out. CP has a great bunch of fans, and are smart enough to know when the PR is being pulled over their eyes. Perhaps you'll welcome me back later and consider my thoughs with an open mind and with reputation in tact. Merry Christmas, the best to you, all the CP and families. Thanks for sticking up for me today. I really appreciate it. George Blowfish

I could give a sh*t about the troubles and travails resulting from pouring one heart out into Jack Harry's squeezebox.

I don't think he meant it to be funny.

**DeezNutz** · 12-24-2009, 12:11 AM

Or an insult.

The ironicaler thing here is that Haley didn't deserve to be fired after the Cleveland fiasco.

After lying about the finger deal, he does, though.

I told him exactly this. He has nothing to feel badly about. He didn't ask to be flipped off, and he didn't ask for the "fame" that's suddenly coming along with it. George is a HIGHLY valued member of this board in terms of content and posting. Ten things about today's game is a classic around here. Come back soon Fred.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 12-24-2009, 01:29 AM

And to anyone who questions why Fred isn't coming out at this point, think about the fact that he's a lifelong fan of this franchise. Why on Earth would he want to partake in such a minor matter that the media is trying to spin out of control? As if this team needs any more distractions.

Fred Blowfish is a true fan in the non insulting manner.

George and Fred? I'm lost.

Okay. Perhaps I understand now.

Sorry, Jack Harry referred to him as "Fred" and I really want a mod to change his name to Fred Blowfish.

He wishes all of you a very Merry Christmas.

I'm just throwing this out there because I feel bad for Fred. He shouldn't have to feel bad about any of this, and he shouldn't have to feel like he needs to lie low at his own house.

I've been re-creating the incident using highly sophisticated 3D modeling and prediction applications. Given the relational positions of the accused fingerer and fingeree, the density of the crowd on both the field and the stands along with other variables such as wind speed and visibility I'm afraid there's no logical explication to the sequence of events that unraveled that afternoon other then the presence a 2nd fingerer working in conjunction with the first.

We're investigating the grassy knoll area. God Speed to all of us if this is as big as it seems.

**cdcox** · 12-24-2009, 02:26 AM

Since George would just as soon let this die, this will be my one and only post on the matter.

Basically, Haley called gblowfish a liar in front of the whole city. Those of us fortunate enough to rub "cyber" elbows with George know what the score is. But the majority of the city is probably regarding the story of a random fan with skepticism, to say the least. Rather than escalating things in an attempt to clear his reputation, and apparently having a willing mouthpiece to do so in the voice of Jason Whitlock, let the record show that gblowfish is taking the high road. And to those of us who have interacted with George over the years, this decision is not the least bit surprising.

As a sign of appreciation and respect, I just made a small donation in the name of gblowfish to the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City.

Merry Christmas, George to you and yours.
