So...Petro's new lack of access is making him cranky

[dallaschiefsfan]

I can't figure it. He's completely speaking crazy-talk on 810 right now. "Dayton Moore is on the clock"?!?! Seriously? The organization from top to bottom is 100% stocked better than the condition in which Moore found it...and he's on the clock because they haven't found a solution at second base over the last 3 years? Does Petro even know baseball? This is stupidity. Not like football...when you have a minor league system, you have to take a look at overall organization. Petro is going to become more an more intolerable if this is how he's going to be with his Chiefs pipeline drying up. Anyway...END RANT.

This leak lockdown has absolutely turned the KC media into the Donner party of news outlets. In the absence of information, they're starting to eat their own.

And he has a point. If it is one thing Petro knows, it is baseball.

That was several minutes later when he began to back off the previous stupid statement. And I'm sorry...I reject the notion that he "knows baseball" and therefore I should swallow his opinion whole. This is tied to a systemic pattern of "big" statements he has said lately in the heat of crankiness. Hyperbole or not, it was ill-informed given the freakin' minor league system, scouting department and developmental staff's improvement over the past 3 years. PURE ignorance of baseball OR short-sigtedness OR hyperbole on his part. I don't care which option you take, he's acting like a hack.

Speaking of...I remember a period in KC sports talk when the airwaves was filled with this kind of crankiness. It was when Don Fortune and John Doolittle were shouting at callers and getting in pissing matches with everyone. Soon thereafter, 810 was born...and BURIED them. If I had some investment dollars in KC, now's the time to compete with 810 while Petro is REELING over his lost access. With the right talent and a strong signal, a NEW, competitive station would bury them.

and probably regretting the boat-load of cash they gave to Farnsworth.

When Lamar passed away, he at least had Clark to be the owner and run the franchise. Mr K tried to find somebody to take over, but never found the right guy. EK's family didn't want to deal with the hassle of ownership.

It's been sad watching this franchise wither on the vine.

The Royals have their problems, but the Chiefs were divided into fifths several years ago. 1/5 to Clark...1/5 to Danial...1/5 to Lamar JR...1/5 to Norma/Lamar and 1/5 to Lamar's daughter.

Several NFL owners kids don't wan't the team...see Rams , Jags, Bills, etc...

No excuse...if Lamar wanted to win it all he could have done the AF/EK thing... he didn't and here we are.
