Also it is not like KK doesn't have options he can go on said Internet and talk all he wants and do podcasts etc. Sounds like you are going to miss him.

Why KK had such a boner for going after Coach Reid on this Reek thing is a little perplexing. Over the 20 years he's been on the air, he's been basically a "Baghdad Bob" type of air personality. He'd say whatever the sales dept wanted him to say. He had a chip on his shoulder on the Chiefs ever since King Carl told him to F off. But when 810 got back in the Chiefs graces when Pioli came in, he would toss super softball questions to his QB interviews, especially with Alex Smith. Same thing with the Royals. When 810 had the Royals, they NEVER offered a harsh critique, and interviews with the GM or Manager were again super softball stuff. After the Royals went over to 610, KK started blasting them. Then the Royals got good, and that put an end to that for a few years. KU guys hate KK because he's a K-State guy. That's understandable. He's said some pretty bad stuff about the basketball program and Bill Self over the years. All these guys are going to leave a trail of baggage after doing the job for a decade or more. Fescoe is the same animal except he's a KU shill. I think ten years is about max for that job before you need to give somebody else a chance. KK had his own little sandbox since he was in the ownership group at Union Bcasting. It'll be interesting to see what they do to replace him; and interesting to see what he does next. Maybe Brad Fanning can get him a job working with him at Foot Locker???
