Chiefs Eric Winston Does KCTV Weather Ad - Page 3

**gblowfish** · 02-03-2013, 11:43 AM

I was watching CBS, and KCTV ran a local weather promo with Eric Winston. Basically the weather guy falls down during the weather cast, hurts his knee, the other news people laugh at him. Winston calls it "sickening and disgusting" and storms out of the studio.

Pretty funny, actually.
Must be a special spot for the Super Bowl. Can't find it on line yet.

It should have been a Josh.o web redemption & Josh would have made it funny & more witty. This gets a D+ & C+ for effort.

Dude never apologized to us. Had he even made a fakey insincere one, I would have moved on.

You guys need to get a grip. Those of you that are hating on the guy have obviously never really been part of a team or a platoon, have you? I sure wouldn't have wanted you in my foxhole.

You go to bat for your teammates no matter what. You stand up for your brothers. That's all the guy was doing, and in the heat of the moment his perception was maybe a tad skewed.

No, the entire stadium was not cheering Cassel's injury. Some most certainly were. That is a sad statement of just how bad things had to get before we, as fans, got change.

Get the sand out of your vag and get on with your life. Winston's an above average RT and is not in any way a problem. I LIKE that he stood up for his QB-yes, even if it was Mediocre Matt. It shows that he's a good teammate. I haven't seen the ad, but I think the concept is really quite funny and is a step towards healing the rift that developed between city and team. You have to remember- it's not like these guys weren't trying. It's not like they didn't care. Their coaches were overmatched and their QB was shit. It's not just a job, it's their life and I'm sure it hurts them to lose more than it hurts the fans-and I'm sure when the fans turn on them that hurts, too.

It is a positive sign that even in the depths of the worst season in franchise history, with the worst coaching and worst QB play-that these guys were still trying to play for each other. That makes the hill Reid has to climb a lot easier as you don't have to clean house, you just need to build on it.

This.

Winston can get lost for all I care.

I heard an interview with Winston on Denver radio last week. It was my first exposure to the man. He sounded intelligent and funny.

Yeah, PR campaign in full "repair image" mode... Actually, there's a good question in your post... He doesn't give many interviews in his own city, why's he giving them out in our biggest rival's? Hey, here's an idea, y'all take his dumb ass...

I'll take him on the radio, but there aren't many Chiefs players that I'd want to see in a Broncos uniform. JC for the two seasons he has left. That's about it. Berry perhaps.

LOL Okay. He just turned 26.

He has at least 4 very good seasons left.

Not only is this NOT an apology, it's him getting yet more attention for what he said. Still, I'm more offended by how unfunny this spot is.

The butthurt is hilarious. I was there. There was cheering. Him saying something about it didn't surprise me. As a player, to hear people cheering for an injury has to feel terrible.

But oh well. He doesn't have to apologize for what he said. Just keep playing like a top 10 RT and I'll be happy.

Quick, what Chiefs players have given a lot of interviews the past 4 years?

BTW, he called into 610 a week or so before Branden Albert did.

I don't think this could be any further from the truth.

I hope you're right. I just know how the media likes to put stories into "context". They love being able to reference something as "brave" and "inspiring" as Winston standing up for the poor, abused players.
