It's probably more him talking about the current state of players, IE it's easy to find guys who play hard, but finding guys who have their head in the game every play is something that's tough to do. And we don't have that right now. We're finding ways to beat ourselves every week, be it a mind numbing penalty, or trying to strip the ball instead of tackling the receiver...

Outstanding game day broadcasting. Even with the delay I enjoy the game better listening to him while watching the game.

It's hilarious how when the chiefs screw up Lenny just says "oh....oh....oh no...

." He forgets that he's commentating and he just gets all disappointed.

I miss hearing this phrase from the broadcast: "TOUCHDOWN KAN SAS CITY! TOUCHDOWN LARRY JOHNSON" (or TONY GONZALEZ or PRIEST).

No...i dont get that at all.

He pretty much says: We dont have the talent to compete with other teams yet.

Love Lenny as a game-day broadcaster and he is a true man of class that represents the franchise and city well. This takes nothing away from him in the aforementioned areas...but I was never a fan of him being the lead sports guy for Channel 9.

TV anchor/sports guy isn't his best role IMO. Plus, his hiring coincided with the loss of Mike Bush from Channel 9...who went on to St. Louis and has effectively become the best sportscaster in the midwest. A little bitter about that.

Lenny is the man.
Says what he thinks.
It is often very basic, but football is basic.
He is the best.

Lenny is great, i remember one time he held a door open for me and my gf to the hotel in denver, then i recognized him and he started running off like a little girl

I know, right?

I've missed the radio broadcast two weeks in a row because of it.

That's a pretty common reaction of his around KC too.

I'm sure.

You should see him scurry around TC in River Falls.

He dances around the boundaries of the practice fields like Jim Marshall and Carl Eller are giving pursuit.

I can't say that I blame him - as people refuse to leave him alone, but it's still a sight to see.

You can. I listen to the radio and sync it with the tv broadcast every week now. I will take Mitch and Len over the Standard network broadcasters any day. Radio shark is TIVO for radio (almost). Plus you can even record the broadcast too.

It takes about the first 5 minutes of the game to get in exact sync, but once it is done I only need to adjust it maybe 3 or 4 times during the game. The easiest way is to wait for the refs to speak and then sync the audio with the picture. It is really pretty simple actually. If you have a wireless mouse and a laptop it is propably the easiest way. I dont even get out of the recliner any more.

Cons:
If your Broadcast station has a weak signal, it may be hard to tune in.

Lenny could also be making his main point about the talent level on the Chiefs not where it needs to be, but I believe he's cracking on the coaching expertise or lack thereof. In a veiled way, of course.

Maybe. But he also said the real reason is personnel.

To be more concise he said we suck, just a overall platitude and nothing more.
