Chiefs Gretz Premium work.... - Page 2

DTLB58 · 08-14-2011, 11:41 PM

Gretz Posted on his site that as of Sept 1st he is taking it premium (pay) for the second year.

$25 for early sign up, $35 after Sept 1st. Did anybody pay to follow Bob's writing last season? Was it worth it? Did he have good info during the season that would be insightful for someone that follows the Chiefs closely and daily?

I'm tempted as I normally read his site but with so much free stuff out there, it kinda ticks me off that he charges once the seasons starts.

Somebody will pay and just repost it here anyway.

I didn't do premium work. I wouldn't allow my stuff to be posted premium.

I think the mods used to have a policy against that?

I replied to his posting that he is going to start charging, what are you going to offer me that I can't get anywhere else online, radio talk shows, ect. for free?

A bunch of followers posted he is such a great writer and that $25 is not very much and that Bob has been around for a long time....I responded, I remembered Bob from his articles in the Chief's Reports in the 80's and have been a Chiefs fan since '73 so I have been around awhile. I just wanted to hear "From Bob what he was going to offer me since he wasn't an "insider" at Arrowhead?

I just think it's kinda egotistical for him to say at regular season time my stuff is so good that you gotta pay to read it. I would rather he just charge all season long than say this.

IMO Bob's preseason/training camp reports and news are THE best source of Chiefs info.

Since he doesn't appear to really have inside info, I don't think much can be gained from his regular season articles that you wouldn't get elsewhere. No need to rag on the guy though.

I hardly see any difference between his and Looney's. Except that Looney's usually have more detail.

BTW, I heard Carl was funding Gretz's site...don't know if that's still going on.

Bob's probably been viewing the number of hits his website has been getting with the free content. After the lockout I'm sure his number of hits ballooned so now he figures he can start charging and cash in. I can't blame him for trying.

He did the same thing last year. Offseason was free, and then a charge for the regular season.

I figured he went back to free when he lost his audience.

Free Enterprise, nothing wrong with it. If some find it worth the cash, then he is merely providing a solution.

Jawshco · 08-15-2011, 12:32 PM

I paid for it last year and the Training Camp reports were pretty good. However, once the season started it was pretty pointless, as you were just getting his view of what you could see for youself or read about at numerous other places. Still, it seemed worth it for the TC reports and Bob's unique Q&A Articles that he does with all members.

This year there is no point in paying. It's really too late now that we're already in Preseason, and to be honest Bob seems like he's got a fly up his butt this year. He's been very negative and his analysis is far too mired in an unusual amount of pessimism. I don't know if he's just grumpy after the hold out, but he does not write like a man who likes these Chiefs. Of course, Babb's Twitter feed is just as bad, and might be more annoying.

I hate to say it, but Looney is still the best option.
