ChiefsPlanet A few words from Gblowfish - Page 8

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

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 am just stunned that you guys think he has any clue how to run a pro team to the point that he would call for the HC to be fired.

He shouldn't hide behind the internet and drive down to Arrowhead and tell Todd that he is sorry for what he said.

Drunk or not drunk, it was wrong for him to call out Todd the way he did.

It went over the line when he got Jack Harry involved.

What were you thinking dude?

I will hold off on posting my opinion until you answer this.

Thanks!

Is this really Todd Haley? If so - you deserve to be fired!

He should have dropped it and not responded to Jack Harry's email so it's on him.

No, it's Gun.

LaChapelle · 12-24-2009, 11:28 AM

If you had a 13 year old who yelled "YOU DESERVE TO BE FIRED!" And you don't punish them. Guess what, you're a rotten parent.

But Haley leveled the playing field when he flipped the bird.

KCbroncoHATER · 12-24-2009, 11:30 AM

I haven't seen anyone but him and his bud say that they saw it so I am going with what Todd said happened.

And it amazes me that you wuold think we are stupid enough on this board after watching football extensively for most of our lives, and paying season ticket prices for years that we don't have the right to yell such a thing.

Do you complain about politics? Do you complain about how your car runs? Unless you have served in an office, there's no reason to ever complain about them. Unless you are a mechanic and assemble cars, there's no reason for you to ever complain about them.

He never got Jack Harry involed you ****ing reerun.

I never said you didn't have the right to express your opinion, just don't insult players and coaches on gameday.

You buy a ticket you can say whatever to whomever you want.

KCbroncoHATER · 12-24-2009, 11:47 AM

No you don't and it's silly to think you can.

Try to show some class dude.

Brock · 12-24-2009, 11:51 AM

I guess you must be one of those "please sit down and be quiet, I can't see" fans.
