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.

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.

**The Bad Guy** · 03-01-2005, 03:18 PM

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.

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.
