Call Me, Maybe–The Lifes of Post-Game Show Hosts

Remember the old cartoon where a man sits behind the desk and above him is a sign that says “COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT”? Imagine an actual job where you are the complaint department. Imagine that your job is to field complaints from the Kansas City Sports Fanbases for the Royals and the Chiefs.  The same fanbases who […]

Unwritten Rules

By On January 7, 2013 · 1 Comment

Sports is full of unwritten rules… You don’t bunt late in the game to break up a no-hitter. You don’t run up the score or you pull your starters if you’re up big late. You kick the ball out of bounds to allow an injured soccer player a chance to catch his breath.

You won’t […]

How To Kill Jim Rome

By On February 10, 2012 · 2 Comments

It’s no secret that 610 Sports is looking for a way to get ahead of Sports Radio 810.  610 has one key advantage coming up, they are the Flagship of the Royals Radio Network and carry all the games. Last year, this propelled them ahead of 810 in the ratings for the first time […]

An Open Letter to Danny Parkins…

By On September 29, 2011 · 5 Comments

You, my friend, are a puzzle.

Here you are. Clearly a fish out of water. Clearly with some talent and clearly with some modest success.

But there’s still something wrong. Still something missing.

Is it the fact that you’re seven feet tall and weigh 82 pounds? No.

Is it the fact that you look like […]

By On July 14, 2011 · 1 Comment

Twitter has become the place to share and generate information for fans. It’s also a great way to share a live event such as a Royals or Chiefs game.

KC Sports Radio… One Month Later…

By On July 7, 2011 · 4 Comments

It started… as more than a few decisions in my life have started… with a few too many drinks…

It was one month ago today when, I felt, Kansas City Sports Radio had hit rock bottom.  It had been a gradual, but steady decline. Shows added an extra ad spot or two at the top […]

The Internet is Fucking Up Radio (And Here’s Why)

By On June 16, 2011 · 1 Comment

This blog post is about money.

This blog post is about listeners.

This blog post is about you.

You’re doing it wrong.

Statistically, more and more listeners are tuning in on the Internet. It’s how I listen to Sports Radio 810 and 610 Sports during the day. If I’m out and about, I’ll turn on […]

What the Fuck Was That? Part 2 – 610 Night at the 810 Zone

By On June 11, 2011 · 7 Comments

Ever have one of those nights that started out innocently enough???

So, this has been a pretty incredible week for me anyway, but I’m not sure you could’ve topped last night. I was at my kid’s baseball game, (they won, by the way) and I wanted to make sure I was home to watch Mike […]

The Kietzman Suggestion Box…

By On June 9, 2011 · 8 Comments

In Kevin Kietzman’s monologue during the 2:00 hour on Wednesday, he asked for suggestions on his program.

Several callers called in and offered very little criticism. Rather, they heaped praise on KK. I find this curious, but that’s not the purpose of this post.

What follows is a list of features during Between The Lines […]

What The Fuck Was That? My Day Moving Mountains

By On June 8, 2011 · 1 Comment

Let me try to summarize my day in  one word. Surreal.

 

You say you want a revolution? Well, you know, we ALL want to change the world.

Doesn’t that Beatles song go on to blame the Royals for the Revolver album?
