The board has been so slow I guess i'll have to start my own thread...maybe even make up a rumor or two.
It is so good to hear Art Haines on the radio for Chiefs broadcast. I love his voice, writing style and delivery and he makes a welcomed addition to the broadcast team and it is great to see and talk to him in the Cumulus Building in Mission, Ks. The man is real NFL talent. Art is really keeping busy what with the Missouri State Bears broadcast on Saturday, Chiefs on Sunday and his regular weekday duties in Springfield during the week.
I worked with Art when he was fresh out of college and first arrived in Springfield at KGBX AM 1260 in 1976...now all these years later we get to hang in the same building together again. I remember when Me, Art, Randy Sissel and Chuck Riley used to leave KGBX about 4pm drive up to watch a KC Royals game and then drive back after the game, with me and Art having to be up and on the job at 5AM the next day. The Royals were worth it back then. Randy and Chuck have since died. The Royals and Chiefs are on life support it seems.
I understand tho' that Carl Peterson is still pissed because his buddy Bob Gretz got booted. Word is that King Carl will not talk to Cumulus Market Manager Donna Baker because of the Gertz deal and will only converse with the Cumulus corporate VP in Atlanta. I think he may be a little sexist too and only wants to deal in the "good ole boy network'.
Now for the rumor of the mind ...what is it with Bill Grigsby and Skid Roadie cruising the Chiefs parking lot together? They can't be handing out bumber stickers King Carl don't allow that or distribution of anything that could be used as a potential projectile. GRriggs/Skid Hmmmmm? Makes me want to say PRICE CHOPPPER.
I wonder if the chefs could beat a Springfield high school team? Here is hoping the activity picks up on the playing field and on this forum.
