CALL: [/I]I heard the afternoon [local talk] radio [hosts] – or at least one of them – predicting that Carl Peterson would be gone by next year. Needless to say, I’ve heard it before. Knowing what you know of the likelihood of most of their predictions what do you suppose the chances of that happening?[/I]

RESPONSE: Listening to the opinions on anything Chiefs-related from one or the other of those fellows, I’m reminded of a story about a voter bemoaning an election-day choice of Lyndon Johnson or Richard Nixon, to which Senator Eugene McCarthy is supposed to have replied: “That’s like choosing between vulgarity and obscenity, isn’t it?” At best, listening to what these two yodelers are saying about the Chiefs is like hearing an interpretation of only one spouse’s version of a failed marriage.

Listen for too long and you understand why sports news should never be left to sports talk radio. Whatever remarks either makes about Peterson can be construed simply as wishful thinking on their part since the general manager’s stay in Kansas City lingers over both of their many predictions like an eternal winter.

Peterson’s fronted 13 winning seasons out of the 18 [with one .500 season] he’s been in Kansas City This is a league where a GM like Detroit’s Matt Millen can keep his job leading a franchise that has had losing seasons nine of its last 11. And these two radio guys think it’s going to happen here…now? At least the media who hate Bush and Cheney know the most they have to suffer is eight years. Peterson hasn’t lost enough to warrant his departure, like it or not. In the end the endorsement of two radio characters who can’t take any criticism themselves probably confirms that it will be on Peterson’s terms when he does head off into the sunset.
