Petro wouldn't stay. He's not going to stick around at a station with no access. He actually does his job and he can't do it if they're cut off. He'd go to 610 in a heartbeat. I don't think he'd leave town; his family is comfortable here and my memory is that they have to make some pretty significant accommodations for his daughter and that those have been made. I don't think he wants to uproot.

But 610 would welcome him with open arms. Afterall, the Chiefs would have to go somewhere and that somewhere would be 610. Petro would be even more liked by the Chiefs and their people after this. He already seems quite popular with them.

And 810 would just crater. Kietzman doesn't have the energy to carry a station these days and he's not going to 'groom' a new mid-day guy. He's not going to get in the trenches and rebuild from the ground up. At that point, as an owner, he'd pull himself from the air to salvage his investment. He's an idiot and lacks any semblance of self-awareness, but he knows what keeps his roof over his head and if 810 goes tits up, it takes him with it. He'll set his pride aside for his livelihood at that point.

The Chiefs have Kietzman's balls in there hands here and could crush them if they wanted to. I'm curious to see what happens.

His damage control program (if you want to call it that) is as disturbing as his original effort to swallow his foot. Basically, his best excuse/explanation so far is ...

"I wasn't referring to the dead son. I was referring to the other one."

If a normal, objective person with a normal, functioning brain can't see the lame, immature hypocrisy in this, they are missing the obvious.

If the Chiefs cut out WHB in order to get Kk fired, like many of you want, that's some shitty behavior on their part. And if you're smart, you wouldn't condone it.

IN THEORY, you would want a media outlet that would give news and opinion in an honest way--warts and all--even if it means you hear bad and mean things about your sports team. When the Chiefs suck, you're happy to hear that stuff, and join in. Now as contenders, there's outrage whenever someone says anything critical or isnt properly worshipping the team.

I dont like Kk and think what he said was irrelevant, shitty, and a cheap shot. But you shouldnt want the entity being covered to call the shots on who gets to cover it. Cut out Kk...that's one thing...leave it up to the players if they want to talk to him. Cut out the whole organization because an employee said something offensive? That's dumb.

All sports talk radio is geared toward 55 year old white dudes. That's why the ads are about Viagra, Cadillacs, financial advisers, golf and BBQ. It's that way nationwide.
