A homer would never admit that, especially publicly.
I don't want to trouble you unnecessarily, Mr. mikeyis4dcats, but could you be more specific as to the "several things" he mentioned?

Is he paid by the Chiefs or by the Chiefs radio network? Are they 2 different entities?

I don't think he is a homer. I think he has human feelings towards the guys he works closely and wishes they would do well. He says off the wall things like when he signed donnie edwards like how he was going to change one game this year. I don't think he is a homer though. I just don't think he is as vocal and hard on the chiefs as I would like him too be.

Bullshit. He's as much a homer as you are.

You mean he gets more excited about the Chiefs when they make plays in a game? What a homer.

I don't recall specifics, as it was early last season, but we were all surprised at how candid he was. I do recall him talking about what a baby LJ was being in pretty much those words.

it probably helped that the guy who arranged him to speak was a good buddy of his from Silver Lake, so we may have gotten a more candid presentation.

i love mitch holthus. if you listen to sports broadcasters around the country (either tv or radio), it really doesn't get better than him. too bad i can never listen to him because i can't get the tv and radio to be on the same play at the same time.

Every time he's on the radio talking to Keitzman he says serious homer shit, cmon.

I think Mitch Holthus does a fantastic job. There is a reason I put the t.v. on mute and listen to his broadcast every game ... He's not just some fan calling the game, like he said, he works hard ... I'd rather listen to his enthusiasm instead of two CBS guys pounding on the woeful Chiefs. And like he said, Lenny brings in more of the real Chiefs Fan perspective ...

He's on Des moines radio every Friday morning, and he's not remotely what I consider a homer.
