Anyone catch start of Whitlock radio today?
 

What is he talking about? Is he quitting?

Yep, tomorrow is his last day.

He is trying to weasel back into 810.

So the 610/KCStar tag-team assault on the rest of KC sports radio ain't workin'?
Mr. Burns: Ehhhhhcellent.

:shake: wow....what a shock. :rolleyes: 610 has second rate talent.... that's why they will always be a second rate station.

He's trying to go back to 810?

What an idiot. He's quitting on the day of his big rally...

Thanks, Leebo.

That's what Greg Hall says, FWIW

Your welcome. The truth is easy to admit huh? :thumb:

Damn, I wish I'd been listening. Franz is doing the show now. WTF is going on?

He's gone now apparently.

What about the "No Limit" Rally?

Let Grunny do the show now...... the station will probably explode with dead air within minutes. ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

Rally still happening, not sure if it will be on air though.

All I can get is that Whitlock just quit on the air. I wonder if that means Bill Maas will start showing up again.

I wish he'd quit the Star as well.

Shouldn't you be on the air Leabo?

This is like a soap opera.

Maybe now we can listen to someone who actually understands Football and Baseball????

He quit on the air? What did he say?

He said "I'm dead sexy!!"

I have no idea, and I'm sure they won't replay it. Apparently some kind of problem between whitlock and management. First time for everything I guess. Oh wait.

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

Jason Whitlock cares about the fans! He cares about the Chiefs!

He cares so much that he quit the day before his hyped-up rally...

That's stupid. I flip around on my drive home from work and 810 has Kietzman always talking about either NASCAR, the Royals, or Kstate. He hardly ever talks about KU or the Chiefs. Or at least that's the way it is when I'm on my drive home after 4:30. At least Whitlock does talk about the things I give a shit about. Plus, they've recently had guests like Mark Collins and Tracy Simien.

I will give you this, though: The morning guy sucks ass.

We agree on this! :thumb:

I can't believe he just walked.

What an a$$Clown. I'd be very interested in what he had to say.

I constantly switch back and forth between stations; whoever has the most interesting guest at the time gets my ear.

This is really fucked up timing, whatever happened. I wonder if we'll get some kind of exposé in the star. I wonder if this'll end 610's monopoly on star talent, or if that's a contractual thing.

Doug Franz is playing the "I don't know what happened" card.

Even though I don't like Whitlock personally but his show was so much better that KK. The last ratings book his show and KK's show was tied and 610 was making strong headway against 810. From what I understand Maas is gone as well or has been for the last couple of months.

At least Whitlock does. And they've recently had guests like Mark Collins and Tracy Simien.

And? :shrug: I like both of those guys.... but knowing they are on the radio will never get me to the radio..... Collins is about as entertaining as Grunny.... he's not. 810 has it's bad ones also though, that damn NASCAR crap has to go. Way to much time spent on the turn left sport.

One down.....three to go.

He's probably pouting from last week as well when most of the sports writers won some type of award and he didn't win zip.
ROFL

I didn't hear it, but I'd guess that this is one of Whitless' publicity stunts. It's too much of a coincidence that his last day will be the day of the rally. He's up to something. We couldn't be so lucky as to get his dumbass out of this town.

Just my luck that the guy they put on the air is Doug Franz. The only guy I like less on the KC airwaves is Danny Klinkscale.

I was thinking the same thing, but it doesn't really make sense. Although I guess either way, if it's real or not, it doesn't make sense.

So he IS coming in tommorow?

Me thinks it is not some publicity stunt!

Who's the second picture of?

Apparently he said his last day on the air is tomorrow. I've gotten the impression that management asked him to leave the building after his on-air tirade. Whatever that was.

At least his ego will feel better when he logs into the Planet and sees a 1000 post thread talking about this.

That'd be Rhonda Moss.

Somewhere, ENDelt just passed out.

Rhonda "Hefty" Moss

If this makes it to 1000 posts, I'll...uh, be stunned that we're that bored.If by "passed out" you mean "is yanking his crank like a poodle in heat", then I say you're probably right.

What happened to that Rhonda Baxter lady working for 610? She was the most frightful looking woman I have ever seen.

She looked like Jabba the Hut and Rosanne Barr's love child.

Sudden loss of blood flow to the brain is not good for a person, so I'm told.

This is delt we're talking about, how much blood does he need for the 50 or 60 good brain cells he has left.

Sweet Jesus.

:shake:

There was just a rah rah call for Carl Peterson. Must be that dastardly tk13.

Somehow some people in this town have come to value Fatlock 's opinion.

I can count on 1 hand how many articles he has written that were worthy of beign read. The rest is just constant whining and crying about DV and CP.

He bashed Marty, he bashed Gunny, He bashed Trent Green even as he was putting up Pro-Bowl #'s with 2nd rate receivers.


Good Riddens!!!!

You know, I used to hate Whitlock. Hated his articles in the Star, and his whole act. Thought basically, he was picking on the Chiefs and being overly critical. But, I've got to tell you, at least he talks about the Chiefs! I think he legitimately cares about this team and wants to see improvements and success. What's so terrible about that? ...and, he's frequently correct...how did our D finish last season?

I can bearly pickup 610 here near Omaha, but in the afternoon drive I switch from 810 to 610 cause Keitzman is talking NASCAR or bar-b-queing, or K-State basketball or something pointless.

Whitlock, or Mark Collins, etc. are talking about the Chiefs...even if it's annoying and ranting sometimes.

he's frequently correct...how did our D finish last season?

Ok..... but's he's also the braniac who predicted a 16-0 season for the Chiefs in the past. He's just another sports reporter..... there is nothing special about him or any other one we have in KC, period.

Whitlock's show is the second most popular radio show with the over 25 market in the latest Arbitron book according to flannagan's column.

Could be a publicity stunt.

This thread was over 1000 when I saw it at 1 hour and 13 mintues into his show.

Where is the little BS smiley when you need him?
If anything, he will cease to be an employee temporarily during the rally, then be rehired immediately thereafter, to "Protect the station" and make the rally look more important than it really is.

I will be there tomorrow, but I King Carl isn't going to hear about the rally, and finally realize that Chiefs fans don't care about the money and just want a winning team.

There's a homer point of view. Whitlock can be a dipshit and he'll be the first to admit to it. But he puts out at least as many articles with a valid perspective as he does inflamatory/controversial articles. He's also a decent guy in person.

As a journalist, I respect the hell out of Whitlock. He's talented, speaks his mind in a market where the Chiefs ass-kissing dominates, and he's very good at self promotion.

Whitlock is arrogant, and I think that's where the hatred for some comes from, but he's very good at what he does.

Rhonda Moss.

That's it in a nutshell. Whether you like him or what he says, he's done a tremendous job at selling himself. He's a columnist, and his job is to get people to talk about what he has to say. He does exactly that. If you hate him, you talk about him. If you agree with him, you talk about him. He's gotten his name out there, even to the beginnings of national recognition with ESPN. He's had to work hard and network well to get where he is. Hell, I'm jealous in a lot of ways. I wish I had the kind of connections it takes to get as far as he has.

Although that probably won't come until I develop some work ethic. But anyway. He's made himself a topic of conversation. And that's his job.

Homer my ass! Thee is a way to criticize and not piss off everyone at the same time. He may be a decent guy in person but my opinion is he is a terrible analyst. Just because he played at Ball State doesn't make him the all-knowing of the game.

I am convinced that he is like a lot of the athletes, he is in it solely for himself. I do not think he gives a rats ass about the Chiefs other than an opportunity to make a name for himself and get a big time job. Seeing him on the "Sports Reporters" made me want to puke because the whole thing was made to come off like he was some kind of annointed expert on the Chiefs. I have corosponded with this jerk about my disagreements and he said that he is sorry that I feel that way. I guess I should feel lucky that he answered me and not ever wash my eyes that I read it with. ROFL

But...but....but...

He played high school football with JEFF FREAKING GEORGE!!!

Ok, I still hadn't lost much respect for your opinion until you said that.
:rolleyes:

I agree I actually like him. He's right on many occassions and gives a different perspective on many issues and at worst he's entertaining.

Dave

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!!! Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

So that's what Rhonda Moss looks like ... ?

:eek:

No wonder she always seems so pissed ...

MM
~~:shake:

I used to not like him much. But I've always thought his articles were at least worth reading. Some were way off but, some were good. And after this past season, I realized that he was right about Ryan Sims. :banghead:

Damn I forgot about that. Thanks for setting me straight! ROFL


Now I am REALLY glad he is gone. I forgot about all the raving about how we needed Jeff George. Jeff George the guy that couldn't get a job even with Cinci or Miami or any other place that would take my nephew as QB.

We were such IDIOTS for getting Trent Green instead of Jeff George.

Thanks again for reminding me. You're one of the good ones man! :p

Thanks LZen. I may not love Whitlock, but I like hearing Chiefs talk...and, I really do think he wants success for the Chiefs. Gotta respect that.

You can keep Collins and Simien then... that's fine..... if your all caught up in guests, then that's great for you. I'll take George Brett as a guest anyday. Whatever floats your boat though. I don't plan on losing sleep knowing you lost respect for me. :whackit:

Wonder if Whitlock read the article on KCChiefs.com saying that Lamar, Clark, and Carl would be in Atlanta all day tomorrow at an owner's meeting called by Tagliabue. That might throw a wrench into his rally.

well it definitely throws a wrench in any quick signings.

Petro's still the only one in KC that actually knows wtf he's talking about.

Yep. They offered her union scale, and she thought they wanted her to step on a scale.

Really? Wow Petro is such a wiz he stated a while back right before KU lost to Iowa State that he would take KU at home against half the NBA teams.

Wow he really knows what he is talking about.

Why is that? Amazing as it seems, some NFL clubs have been known to do business outside of thier own offices.

Best show on the air in KC by a longshot. Except for Stump the Chumps; I hate that crap.

Guess that puts him right up there with Fatlock alsways screaming to bring in Jeff George!

Well call me antsy but when you have guys coming in here and the GM is in Atlanta...... Well call me antsy.

I think the Chiefs can spend a little cash to bring them where they are. This is not the first time they have done this. If they don't sign anyone tomorrow it's not because they are not here. I believe the Chiefs are not the only ones that will be in Atlanta, are you saying no team can sign anyone tomorrow just because they will be in Atlanta? :hmmm:

Jason Whitlock - Football Drama Queen

I listen to Whitlock because he actually talks about the Chiefs.

KK talks about gold and NASCAR and K-State...I can't stand it.

As for making predictions, Whitlock is no different than us. He's about as equally informed in most cases, and he's right about as much as he's wrong.
