Arrogant bastard.

[acasas4]

Was listening to the Carl Peterson show and a fan "Gary" calls in and says he's been a long time Chiefs fan etc., then says he just can't see the organization's commitment to win a super bowl so he's not renewing his season tickets. Carl proceeds to ask the guy for his seat numbers and name so he can cancel them for the guy right there since they've already sold 1500 new season tickets. Then tells the guy to leave his cell number so he can call him and get them cancelled for him. Carl really gives a shit about what the fans want doesn't he? Smug prick.:cuss::#:mad:

[Bowser]

Don't **** with teh King. He'll pop you like a zit, and take your firstborn for your playoff tickets.

[Bwana]

Wow

[ILChief]

I disagree with the caller. It's not a lack of commitment that has kept this team from winning a super bowl. It's poor drafting.

[Logical]

An excellent way to divert attention from the caller's legitimate point.

I think he called his bluff.

I wonder, did the guy give up the information?

[milkman]

I disagree with the caller. It's not a lack of commitment that has kept this team from winning a super bowl. It's poor drafting.

I agree with you, and would also add that it's the poor decisions in selecting a head coach.

However, rather than answering a legitimate question, he, as Jim said, diverted attention from the question.

would you give your phone number/seat number/personal information out over the radio?

[stevieray]

would you give your phone number/seat number/personal information out over the radio?

Not if my only goal was to castigate Carl.

People on the radio love to throw the "I've been a season ticket holder for..." mantra.

All he'd have to do is tell him where his seats are. ...

[nychief]

The chiefs have not cheaped it out as an organization, ahem Royals, they have not executed well enough in the draft and on the field. Plus, why would some yokel call in to show up the GM of his "favorite" team. That was just a one-up-manship game - sounds like carl won.

[milkman]

what question?

chaces are this guy was just posturing.

I'm sorry.

Opinion.

And you are probably right, he was just posturing.

But Carl could've addressed the opinion.

But of course, a fan's opinion doesn't mean jack to him.

I wonder, did the guy give up the information?Yes he did. He gave Carl his section, row and seat numbers but refused to give his last name on the air.(no shit) That's when Carl asked him to give his phone number off the air.

[SLAG]

I have a feeling that if the new Coach, Carl Hires does not produce an superbowl win during his tenure than carl will be fired and too old to continue and lamar maybe dead.

Yoda couldnt even tell the chiefs future

[stevieray]

Yes he did. He gave Carl his section, row and seat numbers but refused to give his last name on the air.(no shit) That's when Carl asked him to give his phone number off the air.

Kudos to him. That's making a legitimate point.

[nychief]

but it is a dumb point... Carl went out and spent money on the Defense and the team has improved and if for a little help here or there we would be in the playoffs. I understand the frustration - but give me a break. It just seems like a piss poor time to decide that you can't stand to watch the chiefs.

[siberian khatru]

You can criticize Carl without questioning his motives. Saying he lacks commitment just gives him room to rebut you. He can point to trades and free agents and upgraded facilities, etc., etc.

Just keep all criticism limited to the glaring, simple, single fact: Carl hasn't gotten it done in 17 years. Period. More than half the league franchises have been to a Super Bowl over that time. His hasn't. He's in the minority. Answer that, Carl.

[Mr. Laz]

An opinion.
how?

even if the caller was bluffing ... carl didn't try to appease the caller, he just basically said "tough".

whether the caller was being truthful or not is irrelevant


carl is so secure in his position that he's not really concern whether the fan is really happy, as long as they are "happy enough" to keep buying tickets as a whole.


the overall attitude of the organization is apparent ... complacency

Yeah, that's about it. I honestly don't think Carl is against winning or has any commitment to winning issues. Even he was all about money, at this point with our playoff drought, winning a Super Bowl would make him a very, very rich man.

Gunther = Carls Ineptitude.
Just out of curiosity, has this little thought crossed you mind?

Gunther inherited his defensive coaching staff. he didn't get to bring in or hire his own new staff. This is the same staff, mind you, that has been teaching mediocre defensive skills for the last 5 years. Blaming Gunther is a bit off base IMHO.

BTW, it wasn't the defense that put up a whopping 3 points vs Buffalo.

Next.

[Messier]

Carl is a jag-off but tell me more about his poor drafting? Tell me about the players that he signed the you knew the minute we signed them they were not gonna work? Point is it's silly to think Carl doesn't want to win, doesn't want to win the superbowl. He is all ego, what feed that ego more than a superbowl win? He makes good moves and bad ones, good draft picks and bad one's, just like every other GM.

[milkman]

Gunther = Carls Ineptitude.

Marty/Gunther/Dick equal Carl's ineptitude.

Trezelle Jenkins=Carl's ineptitude.

Steve Bono=Carl's ineptitude.

[Iowanian]

I give carl a pass this year....on players.
Gunther hand picked the Defensive FAs. Bell is the other real bust, and I think Carlos "5plays and hurt" Hall has alot of potential.

Carl IS responsible for allowing the dipshit assistant coaches(there are 22 coaches in the Chiefs Organization....22) to remain on staff after Robinson.

All that said...I'm ready for the CP reign to end.

Do you really think that Lamar and Carl are not devoted to winning? They execute poorly at times, but spare me the violins crap, Okay? They spent a fortune on the defense. All the Gunther haters above where creaming in their pants two seasons ago when we signed him back. Carl has spent when we have called for it, he got rid of the DC when we called for it... I just find it odd that now he dosen't want to win. "I am going to burn my tickets because the team is not devoted to winning?" Try being a ****ing Bengals or Cardinals fan for the last 20 years... Medicrity sucks, but we have a owner that spends and an aggressive GM - things could be worse. Fans like this guy are idiots.

I'm glad I don't work for a hard line prick like you. :p

In this situation, you need to step back and look at who has what responsibilities and just how much responsibility that job encompasses.

The boss has tons of employees to oversee. He cannot and should not be forced to coddle and hand hold the slackers that don't get the job done. He should ask that they be terminated. If we use your line of thinking, every time HR makes a bad hire, the line boss gets the ax and HR gets to walk away smelling like a rose. That's simply not the way good business is done.

If Gunther is serious about this defense, he should speak up and tell the powers that be that he wants a new staff that will get the job done. If management disagrees, then he has the option to leave.

[Logical]

Carl and Lamar want to win enough to keep the seats full and merchandise being sold, that is not a commitment to winning a championship. You ever notice the Chiefs trend of winning every other year? Ever notice that the significant player moves occur the years after we lose not the years after we win. Did you notice there was no significant moves in 2004 after we went 13-4 even though we had plenty of cap room?

Winning yes, a championship commitment no.

works both ways...

they claim it's a business and then talk about "needing support ... needing cheers"

if it's just a business then they need to stop asking for the community to support them.

either put a winning team on the field so people want to see it or shut up.

We went 13-4 that is why, igit! So in your eyes the only team commited to a championship is the Patriots? right. Only the team that wins the super bowl was commited to a championship. They wanted it more....

ROFL

[Logical]

because the players are...victims.... ROFLI am not suggesting that, but there has been a continuous turnover in players and no movement that produced playoff victories. The Chiefs have not had consecutive winning seasons since 1997.

Lamar is the boss actually. He hired Carl. The chain of command starts with Lamar, not Carl. Since Lamar hired Carl, where is the outrage asking for Lamar's head on a stick? After all, if we're going to put the blame squarely upon the shoulders of the person everyone wants to see fired, then it should rightfully rest solely up Mr. Hunt's shoulders. So again I ask, where's the outrage asking for Lamar's head on a stick?

ROFLNo I would say the Steelers are commited to winning a championship and have not won a Super Bowl in a couple of decades. Philadelphia appears to be commited to winning championships, there are others. Few are as commited to mediocrity as Carl and Lamar.

If Greg Robinson had been given an influx of talent and produced these results, people would have been all over his ass.

Carl'll probably go down and pinch a loaf in the guy's seat before the Cincy game, to give him a little momento.

Carl just added 1500 new "real fans."

Cha-Ching...

[siberian khatru]

Most bosses do not do the hiring, except at top level positions. Human Resources does the lower level hiring.

That's not been my experience at all. All department heads hire their own people. Maybe that's one of the problems here -- we've had different experiences, we're talking past each other.

It's condescension like this that has caused me to give up my season tickets of 17 years for 2006. I guarantee you that there won't be season ticket holders in section 323, row 27, seats 1-3 next year.

Yeah right, he's already sold 1500 new season tickets for 2006. Based on what? Our great-looking prospects for next year? The "every other year" that we don't spend any money? Gimme a break. Maybe the "spike" in new season tickets is from the excitement stemming from hiring Butch Davis or Herm Edwards to be the coach. That should stir the faithful.

What'll it be next? "We need new uniforms!" "We need better Gatorade!"

Sorry, we still don't have the players. We've upgraded only 3 defensive positions since 2003.

[4th and Long]

Because you can't fire the owner.

I wish Lamar would kick Carl upstairs and hire a better talent evaluator as GM. But I'm not going to demand that Lamar sell the team, because that's just stupid.
You are exactly right when you say you cannot fire the owner. So what can you do? You can stop buying tickets. You can stop purchasing merchandise. You can stop being a fan. If enough people do that, what happens?

The team folds up their tents and moves.

What does that leave you with?

Look, as much as I enjoy watching football, I try my best not to take it so seriously. As I have said before, regardless of whether the Chiefs win or lose, it doesn't really effect the truly important parts of my life. If they don't go to the playoffs, I won't be fired because of it. The bank won't reposes my home. Repo men won't show up in the middle of the night and take my car. No one in my family will be stricken with a deadly illness because the Chiefs don't make the post season. A plague of locus wont swoop down on the area and devastate the land.

For the common man, it's football. It's a game. It's entertainment. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I'd agree with that. We need a better D-line. And Bell didn't upgrade the LB position.

What I was parroting was the Chiefs Planet excuses the last three seasons.

[Halfcan]

It's condescension like this that has caused me to give up my season tickets of 17 years for 2006. I guarantee you that there won't be season ticket holders in section 323, row 27, seats 1-3 next year.

Yeah right, he's already sold 1500 new season tickets for 2006. Based on what? Our great-looking prospects for next year? The "every other year" that we don't spend any money? Gimme a break. Maybe the "spike" in new season tickets is from the excitement stemming from hiring Butch Davis or Herm Edwards to be the coach. That should stir the faithful.

If folks want tickets so bad why drop them. This guy is freakin lying his ass off as always.

Death to the King!!

[Hammock Parties]

Sorry, we still don't have the players. We've upgraded only 3 defensive positions since 2003.

That's bullshit.

Go look at the Washington Redskins defensive lineup.

I don't see a huge discrepancy in talent. And they have a ROOKIE CB for crying out loud.

I don't take it nearly as seriously as I used to. That's why I keep watching and keep buying merchandise. As much as I bitch about wanting to win a Super Bowl and holding Carl accountable, it's not enough to make me give up one of my hobbies. In fact, bitching about it is part of the hobby.

We already had this discussion, dumbass. The Redskins have better talent on the line, at LB, and in the secondary. And Carlos Rogers is already better than Warfield.

And if I remember correctly, the great Gregg Williams' defense didn't look any better than ours when we played them.

[acasas4]

Carl'll probably go down and pinch a loaf in the guy's seat before the Cincy game, to give him a little momento.

Carl just added 1500 new "real fans."

Cha-Ching...ROFL

As for the the growing up part, when you can rip off such adult phrases as, f*ck you, go to hell and the ever popular, snot bubble, I stand by my previous comment. Grow up.

[gblowfish]

Lamar is the boss actually. He hired Carl. The chain of command starts with Lamar, not Carl. Since Lamar hired Carl, where is the outrage asking for Lamar's head on a stick? After all, if we're going to put the blame squarely upon the shoulders of the person everyone wants to see fired, then it should rightfully rest solely up Mr. Hunt's shoulders. So again I ask, where's the outrage asking for Lamar's head on a stick?Carl hears you, baby! New this Sunday at the Arrowhead Fan Zone, just $49.95...it's...
LAMAR HUNT'S HEAD ON A STICK!
Buy one today. Or you're not a REAL Chiefs fan!

(Actually, I'd pay retail for a Carl Head on a stick...that would rock!)

[Logical]

...

And if I remember correctly, the great Gregg Williams' defense didn't look any better than ours when we played them.Actually I was at that game and I disagree. They moved up and down the field at will, there offense just stalled to often in the redzone. We won but it was not because our defense was superior to their defense.

[Hammock Parties]

Grow up.

Next time, attack the issue, not the poster.

You still haven't given a good reason why Gunther should be retained. His scheme is ass. He's been using Kendrell Bell in coverage all year.

The only reason you want him retained is because you like him.

And here in lies the great paradox. If it pissed you off that bad, over the course of 40 years, you would have changed loyalties by now, or at least, you should have. If your wife served you Hamburger Helper every night, for 40 long years, you would have done something about it.

Sounds to me like you're a true fan to the bone and no matter what this team does, you'll hang in there, regardless. :)

:clap:

Anyone who treats it as more than a game has serious personal issues.

By the way, if Carl really sold 1,500 new season tickets, why do I keep seeing commercials saying there are still tickets for the Cincy game? He's been throwing around that waiting list bs for a long time. I'd bet there hasn't really been one for at least 5 years.

[Hammock Parties]

BTW, Hamburger Helper is not that bad.

Sounds to me like you're a true fan to the bone and no matter what this team does, you'll hang in there, regardless. :)Absolutely but I have developed coping mechanism. Lowered expectations, knowing when the season is over well before others will admit it, recognizing the talent is not of championship quality early on. Most people think it is because I am so negative, it is not, it is the only way I can deal with the continuing dissappointment. I will always love the Chiefs, but I can hate the cast and crew that comprise them.

Yeah, I was at the game too. We won 28-21. The great Gregg Williams' defense didn't impress me at all. Our defense held on two separate Redskins' possessions with under 6 minutes left in the game.

We couldn't stop Santana Moss that day, but nobody else has either. And Portis didn't do squat that day against our defense.

The Redskins held us under 300 total yards. AT ARROWHEAD. That's pretty impressive. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's a season low.

There is nothing more to add to what I said. I am not petitioning for Gun to keep his job, nor am I petitioning for him to be fired. Fact of the matter is, I don't get to make those decisions. I know this. I wish some of you would wake up and smell the coffee and realize no matter how much you piss and moan on this board, you don't get to make those decisions either. It's merely a, "sit back and wait and see what happens" process.

Since Carl was hired every team in the AFC West has been to the super bowl except us. Bad luck? A curse? The ghost of Christmas past? I don't think so.

Carl is all about:

1. Doing what Lamar wants; putting butts in seats so Lamar makes money and this team continues to stay in Kansas City.

2. Getting paid and keeping his job. He gets paid and keeps his job when he does what Lamar asks of him.

3. The coaches and team and it's talent falls somewhere after that.
