Should Ten Things Continue?

[gblowfish]

Wanted to get the temperature of the room. I've been debating whether to spend the time during this upcoming weird season putting out a "Ten Things" list every week in 2020. I put it to you, Greg. Should we have a Toga Party, or go on Double Secret Probation?

[Chiefspants]

Yes.

If this website had a ring of honor, the Ten Things would be up front and center. Would actually not be on this site without them. They got us through the rough times, and I’d love to look forward to them now that we’re on the mountaintop (and they’d be a great way to catalog this weird season, too).

[Jewish Rabbi]

I would miss it if you stopped, but understand if you want to hang it up.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Lots of people including myself enjoy the "10 Things" but really what I would say is for you to continue doing that if you enjoy it. If it starts to feel like a burden then let it slide. Then again you don't have to do it weekly. take time off and do it quarterly maybe. You could give us ten things after each qtr.

Edit: By qtr I mean after 4 games not each qtr of a game.LOL

[tmax63]

I, for one, enjoy getting your birds-eye view from the sideline since I will never get to see it from that angle. The one time I made it back to Arrowhead we sat in the end zone and though it was great you couldn't see shit or interact with the players except during warm-ups. And they don't show a lot of the stuff on tv that you have talked about in previous years. I appreciate the time you invest to give us that view.

[smithandrew051]

I do look forward to reading it every week. It’s the window into the soul of a Chiefs fan who knows the struggle and is finally reaping the benefits of the wait for Mahomes and Reid.

It’s your call though, but it’s always a quality read.

[TwistedChief]

Yes!

I imagine it might be even easier to do so this season as you won't be attending half the games (I think as per your prior posts)? If you're going to stop it, maybe this season should be the swan song.

They're a genuine highlight every gameday for everyone here.

[44yearsandcounting]

By all means, proceed sir. Having read a fair amount of them over the years, I’ve noticed that a good portion of each 10 things includes the game day experience. Since this year’s environment will be radically different, I look forward to reading your takes, if you attend.

[htismaqe]

Anybody voting "no" will be summarily hunted down and beat with a Cleveland Browns helmet.

[Oz_Chief]

Yes please! Toga!

[smithandrew051]

Is this poll actually just a mod trap to find out who to ban?

[lewdog]

Absolutely. It’s something that I enjoy very much and as I’ve told you, send to my father who enjoys reading it as well.

[Donger]

That's kind of like asking if blowjobs should continue.

[TrebMaxx]

I would miss 10 Things but you be you GB. If ya feel like it then do it, if you don't then don't.

[htismaqe]

Dammit George, should have made it a public poll.

Somebody needs an ass whoopin.

[rabblerouser]

I always look forward to your 10 things. I dont always 100% agree with your takes, but I definitely dig your insight. Hope you and Mrs. Blowfish had a great summer.

[MeaTy The Pimp]

Personally, I hope you keep doing them George. I really like reading your takes after watching the games.

[Bwana]

Absolutely!

[Kman34]

Yes Mr Blowfish.. As long as you want to.. Thanks..

[lewdog]

I just ask that of you decide to “lease out” a few weeks, that you get someone with actual football knowledge to write (not Clay).

[KCUnited]

Voted Double Secret Penetration

[alpha_omega]

As long as you feel like it, yes.

[GMitch]

I prefer your Ten Things to any other post-game write-up out there. Your fandom comes through and makes it personal and special.

It also must take a lot of effort and I would understand if you wanted to cut back.

[bobhill]

Its one of the best parts of the season

[eDave]

Your prospective from being there and essentially on the sideline is what makes them unique and therefore somewhat lacking this year. :(

[Hydrae]

TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!

[ArrowheadHawk]

Other than there sometimes being a Mizzou lean, I enjoy your takes.

[cdcox]

I voted yes, but it is totally up to you. If you are ready to hang it up because you have other things you would prefer to be doing, we'll understand.

[Deberg_1990]

Absolutely. But would understand if you got tired of it and stopped.

[Shiver Me Timbers]

I lurked for 15 years off and on the Planet before finally signing up.
Every week for God only knows for how long- I went straight to 10 things.
If you are too beat to continue, I am sure most will understand. It has been a really strange year.

Just know it is a real highlight for some of us who live a bit far from the Kingdom.

[loochy]

Absolutely you should continue. What kind of dumb question is this?

[oldman]

It's the 1st thing I look for after every game. i understand it takes quite a bit of your time, but CP just wouldn't be that same without it.

[2bikemike]

If you don't do the 10 things, Covid wins!

[srvy]

I think gBlowfish has brought this up the last 2 or 3 years might be he is burning out. I myself enjoy reading but burnout is a deal this may be the year to take off and re-evaluate.

[seclark]

Carry on, George
sec

[displacedinMN]

Yes. It should.

But if you would like to transfer duties...or go part time, everyone understands.

[Buehler445]

Voted yes. But only if you want to. If you don’t then I totally get it. But if you’re game I’m in.

[KChiefs1]

WTF????

Hell yes it should continue!

[Meatloaf]

I definitely enjoy reading your takes after each game, GB. But if you want to cut back a bit, please consider doing a Top 9 Things or Top 8 Things or.....well, you get the picture.

[Spott]

I think we could all use your ten things more than ever this year. :thumb:

[TRR]

100% yes.

[KS Smitty]

I always look for and read it but like many shows that have been cancelled I can survive without it. Whatever you decide is fine with me.

[BigRedChief]

Dartgod was considering not managing the gambling pool due to the work involved. Understandable for sure.

As a voluntary activity, it’s too much work for you, we can respect that decision. But, you still have your fastball so if I’d encourage you to continue. It’s and you are a Chiefs Planet treasure.

[lewdog]

I could fill in if you needed a break.

I don't know much about football and just like having an excuse on gameday to make tater tot nachos.

Let me know!

[Jodi's Bareback]

I come from the shadows to speak for the lurker clan and we vote for you to continue Ten Things. Now I must fade back into the shadows.

[KurtCobain]

Hold the fuck on.

Did Lew say something about tater tots on nachos?

[holden315]

Please do, your input on the game is excellent and I’ve got my 2 sons reading it now every week.

[kc rush]

Yes. I always enjoy reading them.

[KurtCobain]

I'm willing to suck a huge dick to get this tater tot nacho recipe before Thursday.

[siberian khatru]

I would miss it if you stopped, but understand if you want to hang it up.

This

[MMXcalibur]

Honestly, it's an awesome addition to read well-thought out opinions in the post-game as opposed to knee-jerk "WE'RE NOT MAKING THE PLAYOFFZ!!@1!" topics.

Keep up the great work.

[wheeler08]

Carry on my wayward Son

[cabletech94]

Why is this even a question?

George “Lopez” Blowfish for mother efffing president!!!!!

(Sorry I didn’t read any of the OP, I just needed to vent)

I hope you and your wife and your feline friends are doing well. Viva los blowfish!!!

[Chief Roundup]

Most people really liked your series. Ultimately it is up to you though. It is your time and effort. Not sure if you are going to be able to go to the games this year so it might be quite different for you and your viewpoint this season.

[R Clark]

It’s a great read, I look forward to it every week!!

[lewdog]

I'm willing to suck a huge dick to get this tater tot nacho recipe before Thursday.

It’s pretty easy.

Think of the best plate of nachos you’ve ever had. Think of all that’s covering those chips. Now replace those chips with crisp, air fried tater tots.

Amazing.

[Boiled Chicken]

I come from the shadows to speak for the lurker clan and we vote for you to continue Ten Things. Now I must fade back into the shadows.

Lurkers unite!!!

Please continue George - you have no idea how much your summary entertains my wife. She’s always - does George have 10 things out yet?

[Coochie liquor]

I always look forward to your 10 things regardless of the outcome of the game (although it’s better when we win). If you are done doing it, it will be missed but understandable.

[mnchiefsguy]

Hell yes...but if you don't want to and decide to end it, I can respect that.

Do what is best for you george!

[Pablo]

I've been wanting to neg you for thinking of doing this to us. But I won't. Please tell us stories on the weekly.

[Bowser]

I'm willing to suck a huge dick to get this tater tot nacho recipe before Thursday.

Do you WANT Billay to stalk you on Facebook?

[Bowser]

And 10 Things is a CP staple. Of course we all want it to continue, but if you're heart isn't in it, I think we all understand. This season, especially.

[KurtCobain]

Do you WANT Billay to stalk you on Facebook?

I'm pretty lonely to be honest.

[DanT]

I enjoy reading the "Ten Things" column every week, but I recognize that having to spend time every week putting that together can be burdensome. I don't think the column needs to have 10 items every week. You can vary the number or explore other formats. You can call it "X Things", playing on the double meaning of X as the Roman numeral symbol for ten and also the canonical algebraic variable.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Yes please

[scho63]

That's kind of like asking if blowjobs should continue.

ROFLROFL

:thumb:

Outside of DC, you're a really likable poster. ;)

[Bugeater]

Shouldn't be up to the masses. It's your thing Gblow, you ride it into the sunset when you're ready.

[Bugeater]

With that said, it's the best thing about gameday IMO

[Sorce]

I like reading them and would like them to continue. If you aren't feeling it this crazy year maybe appoint a different person on this board you respect to do it each week and have a guest 10 things.

[Straight, No Chaser]

Hells Yes... Update the name temporarily for the Pandemic.

THE BEST of the non-mouth breathing takes around this place for a decade!

[big nasty kcnut]

Well yeah. It's my daily reading after a chiefs game. Plus it is the first one as the reigning defending super bowl champ the Conquerors Your Kansas City Chiefs.

[Baby Lee]

Maybe the responsible thing to do would be to do 'nine things' and preserve the tenth for a vital social message. . .

[Molitoth]

If you enjoy doing it, then sure!

If it's a burden, may as well retire on the epic super bowl championship. It's not going to get any better than 2019.

[keg in kc]

You have to make it "15 things" now.

[Why Not?]

Whatever you want to do, but I’m a big fan of 10 things.

[Coach]

Anybody voting "no" will be summarily hunted down and beat with a Cleveland Browns helmet.

Agreed with this assessment.

[Rain Man]

I'm a big believer in free will. You do it because you enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, don't do it as long as you can live without the income that it generates.

[PHOG]

Well, yeah, duh!

[rambleonthruthefog]

I dont vote much and i dont post much. Ive probably never posted on a “ten “things” thread, but Ive read everyone all the way through for what seems like a decade. Chiefsplanet is better for it

[stevieray]

Who are you and what have you done with George?

[BossChief]

Thank you for writing them for us all of these years. Even through the doom and gloom
Days I looked forward to reading your 10 things and you never disappointed us. They were all top notch. I’d understand if you decided to stop investing time into them, but we can all agree we would to keep having the privilege of reading them more in the golden era of Chiefs football.

[Stryker]

Hell yes BECAUSE of this upcoming weird season!

[PunkinDrublic]

George you could write a column called ten things about living with hemroids and I’d still read every word. Nothing wrong with retiring at the top of your game my friend. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

[farmerchief]

By all means, if you are willing to take the time to write them! I always enjoy your perspective, and I imagine it takes some time, so its your call.

[cripple creek]

yes please

[alanm]

George, The season just wouldn't be the same without reading your take every Sunday night. There isn't a writer at the Star even as talented. :thumb: Please continue.

[Shiver Me Timbers]

I thought about it some more.
I think Stryker put it best when he said yes- especially with the strange football year we have ahead. Not to mention the strange past 9 months we have had.
Reading 10 things is like comfort food, for me anyhow.

[Andoverer]

I say yes please. You are a talented witty 10 things kind of guy. Nobody could do it better. When will you make your decision??

[Graystoke]

I voted yes a couple of days ago.
Ten Things brings a lot of history, knowledge of the game and cool insights to game day.
Would love to see it continue but I also relate to it being a potential burden.
Do whatever feels right, and thanks.

[Marcellus]

Dude this isn't a question. You need to do 10 things and if you decide to stop, nobody would blame you but there needs to be a torch handed off. What you started is awesome and should live on forever.

[MOhillbilly]

Yes. Honestly it’s my favorite game write up and I always look forward to it.

[htismaqe]

There's 7 people here that need to be publicly flogged.

[scho63]

TOP 10 REASONS GBLOWFISH'S TEN THINGS SHOULD CONTINUE FOR 10 MORE YEARS :D

10. David Letterman refused to do it

9. Todd Haley gave you reason number one- middle finger

8. You ate shit for so long, enjoy the steak and stay a while longer

7. Your wife paid us to ask you to stay, she doesn't want you around all the time

6. Who the fuck else can can complete proper sentences after drinking all game

5. We never pick on you for your less than adequate penis

4. No other person from Independence has an IQ over 40

3. You sit on the front row 50 yard line, we all want your seats so don't leave yet

2. PATRICK MAHOMES!!!

And the #1 reason GB should continue............

1. Your cats really hate you and you just don't know it yet! :D

[cabletech94]

^^^ +10

[htismaqe]

We love you George. If you're think this place is tired of "Ten Things" you're dead wrong. ;)

If you are the one that's tired, by all means, take a break if that's what you want. I share the sentiment of many that if you're still up for it, so are we.

Oh, and whoever the 7 assholes are that voted "no", report to the yard immediately. The guards want to have a chat with you.

[burt]

I am amazed by how many members feel exactly like me on this! I LOVE 10 things....but if you are tired of doing it, how bout cutting it down...tom 9 1/2 things this year...9 next....8.5 the next....

[DJJasonp]

If you still enjoy it, then by all means continue.

If it has become a "job", and you loathe it......walk away!

That said, I believe the majority here enjoy it.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Yes you selfish prick!! Who the hell do you think you are? What are we paying you for??

Stay in your ****ing lane...do the 10 things...sheesh...

:D

Seriously, it seems like a helluva burden, but I suspect that since it's something you do so well that you'll probably just do it anyway because you like it and your good at it. But I'd also understand hanging it up. Hope you don't.

GO CHIEFS!

[Monty]

I know I'm repeating a number of posts here, but we're all better off because you shared this with us each week, so what you do going forward is totally up to you, but a huge thank you for writing this each week. I personally look forward to this list as part of my post Gameday ritual. I hope to see more, but will understand if that's not the case. :toast:
