We'll be getting posts together tonight and tomorrow full of Carl Peterson coverage so for now, vote in the poll and continue your conversations here when the other thread gets full.
Chris and PT, Thanks for the poll. This is exactly how he is to us now… just a shadow in our memories. I’m ready to see the chiefs start dominating the AFC west and for that matter the whole NFL. “and the home of the CHIEFS!”
The New GM will make the final decision whether to resigned Herm or let him go after he’s contract is up… I know this should be another post but what’s the feeling should he stay or go?
And I think blowing up everything immediately would set this team back even farther… But if the new GM finds a like-minded coach like Herm… who knows what his decision will be. The new GM will have a voice is what Clark also said.
With Carl and Herm gone, if we don’t completely botch the hiring of their replacements I sincerely believe this team has a shot at .500 or better next year with the talent level on hand.
They just need a coach who knows how to utilize that talent.
So he can duck responsibility all he wants for the last two games, but his chief protector is gone and now he’s got a new guy who’ll be wondering why the hell the coaching staff never takes responsibility for its performance.
And new GMs like bringing in their own guy to run things…especially when the previous coach wins four games or less. That way they don’t have to keep suffering through the mistakes of the previous regime.
If you hit ‘actions’ under a picture, you can choose to hide it so there’s no loading time. Sometimes the PARADE can put up a lot of dolphin pictures so I have to hide them.
Absolutely perfect photo.

Thx

Derrick*58*Liveson! - December 15, 2008
Early poll results are pretty telling
27 approve.
0 disapprove.
Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
isnt there a margin of error??
I dont think anyone would vote opposite because AP keeps track of it…
KC FAN IN CA - December 15, 2008
Anybody that votes no has to be a Donkey or Fader fan
Pauli - December 15, 2008
or TX fan, or NJ fan
or one of the other lotus eaters who believes that we’re just a player or two away
sm7600 - December 15, 2008
Easy man we are on the same side here.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
Yup
Be nice…the point of contention (Carl) is gone and all any of us care about now is that the Chiefs find someone who can get this team back on track.
UCrawford - December 15, 2008
absolutely
let’s get to the promised land together
KCking - December 15, 2008
I cannot BELIEVE
the amount of calls FROM ALL OVER the USA into 810. I have never seen so many long distance callers.
1 caller was sorry to see Carl leave….and he said it was because he was a Denver Bronco’s fan.
True story
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
Espn Reports...
The New GM will make the final decision whether to resigned Herm or let him go after he’s contract is up… I know this should be another post but what’s the feeling should he stay or go?
Derrick*58*Liveson! - December 15, 2008
Well
Clark said in this interview that he would ultimately make the final decision on whether Herm is retained.
Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
Right
And I think blowing up everything immediately would set this team back even farther… But if the new GM finds a like-minded coach like Herm… who knows what his decision will be. The new GM will have a voice is what Clark also said.
As far as I’m concerned… One down.
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
hey if yall are listeniing i was rich….on there?? ne body heard or remember me?? on the 810
kcchiefsfan56 - December 15, 2008
Yeah man....good call. Can't wait for Clark's interview in 10 minutes on 101 the fox
Here’s the link folks:

You might have to copy/paste the URL
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
Herm should have grabbed that
SD state job, oh well I hear Tampa Bay is going to need a D-coordinator at the end of trhe season!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
I approve of this
to the extent that the next hire is a better GM than the former GM. Otherwise, we’re spinning our wheels, at best.
First time owner, first time GM hire…this could be dicey.
sm7600 - December 15, 2008
Listening on 101 now.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
They're about to talk to Clark, right?
Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
I do not know how soon though.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
Lenny,Tony, and Clark
HEEEEEERE’s CLARK!!!
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
wow...300 people showed up for the show.
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
I finally got it up on the web
Did I miss anything? Just tuned in and heard a bunch of people saying “Squish the Fish”
KCking - December 15, 2008
No not yet, just intros.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
thanks EA
KCking - December 15, 2008
No,
it’s already over.
j/k
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
lol
KCking - December 15, 2008
No problem!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
Clark is on.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
I think mine is slow
Shawn - December 15, 2008
Mine is too
KCking - December 15, 2008
101 fox right?
Shawn - December 15, 2008

RoyalsFanStuckInCardsLand - December 15, 2008

Just getting on now.
Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
yes.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
External , yes!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
sweet!
KCking - December 15, 2008
its a revolution
Shawn - December 15, 2008
I swear to God he is describing Pioli exactly. Let's go, Pioli!
DThomasReigns - December 15, 2008
Yep.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
yep...that would be a great acquisition
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
Read between the lines
TG is happy!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
NO SHIT!!!! I haven't heard him this upbeat in a LONG time. And Clark reaffimed that TG is going to be part of this.
Maybe this means that TG will be wanting to stay now that Carl is gone.
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
Want To Hear An Atypical UCrawford Assessment
With Carl and Herm gone, if we don’t completely botch the hiring of their replacements I sincerely believe this team has a shot at .500 or better next year with the talent level on hand.
They just need a coach who knows how to utilize that talent.
UCrawford - December 15, 2008
Can't be done
…oh wait a sec, Miami is doing it and they were worse last year ;)
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
Official Arrowhead Pride Parade - December 15, 2008
Nice PARADE!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
And the PARADE comes out of nowhere
Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
Wow, everythign on wikipedia on Carl has already been updated too.
Shawn - December 15, 2008
Did you think it was going to stay long?
There are millions of people who’ve been waiting for this moment.
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
Yeah,
I already had my entry written. :)
KCking - December 15, 2008
Herms on
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
Harm is on!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
Beat ya!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
This is the most exciting day since the draft.
Shawn - December 15, 2008
I think you're right
Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
Gonzalez almost trade
Although that never seemed plausible from the start.
Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
He says it is inexperience
He is so self absorbed, takes no responsibility.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
Let's not get into us
on this night that has seen such great unity so far.
Let’s wait till tomorrow
KCking - December 15, 2008
If I have to.
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
We can
if you really want to. But it’s kind of the same old thing.
KCking - December 15, 2008
Herm's Day Is A Comin'
So he can duck responsibility all he wants for the last two games, but his chief protector is gone and now he’s got a new guy who’ll be wondering why the hell the coaching staff never takes responsibility for its performance.
And new GMs like bringing in their own guy to run things…especially when the previous coach wins four games or less. That way they don’t have to keep suffering through the mistakes of the previous regime.
UCrawford - December 15, 2008
Let's not get into "This" not us
KCking - December 15, 2008
I was with ya!:)
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
Yeah
that could look kind of weird
KCking - December 15, 2008
I didn't want to get into either or you.
So it’s really a non-issue :)
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
PERVS!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
These guys are scaring the hell out of me
Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
typo typo
nothing more :)
KCking - December 15, 2008
I guess Carl
took the straight with him, lol.
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
Freaks come out at night!:)
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
7:30 is a bit early...
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
I'm in the eastern time zone
8:30 is still early though
KCking - December 15, 2008
Yea,
needs to be more like 9-10… at the earliest.
I know I dont put my hose and high heels on until at least 11.
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
lol
KCking - December 15, 2008
I am out fellas
Football is on!
Eric Allen - December 15, 2008
Oh snap,
it is monday. I completely forgot about that.
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
Its the freaking Eagles/Browns.
I’m not sure that’s worth my time.
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
My fantasy playoff game is riding on it
opponent has Jamal Lewis and philly defense
I’m up by 25 points
KCking - December 15, 2008
I'm only up by 5
and he has Westbrook…I need Shaun Rogers to roll over on his knee
RoyalsFanStuckInCardsLand - December 15, 2008
I'm feeling good about my chances
KCking - December 15, 2008
knock on wood
watch Lewis run for 300 yards
KCking - December 15, 2008
i don't know
Philly defense should score fairly well…however, jamal points take away points from his D
RoyalsFanStuckInCardsLand - December 15, 2008
Yeah,
that’s what I’m counting on.
The conflict of interest
KCking - December 15, 2008
Somebody take that pic down of Carl
every time I scroll on this page I dry heave a little.
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
+1
KCking - December 15, 2008
I took it down

Joel Thorman - December 15, 2008
5 Votes For "Disapprove"?
So that would be Carl, Gretz, Herm, Gunther and Krumrie?
I didn’t know they read our blogs :)
UCrawford - December 15, 2008
You know Gretz does.
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
Holy shit
….I just remembered the Youtube with Adolph/Carl….Der Fuhrer is KAPUT!
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
A 3% approval rating so far from the poll
It’s like the man was President of the Country :)
What a losing legacy. I wonder if he’ll move from KC?
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
and I had to round up btw to ge the 3%
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
Bush has a 11% rating
congress has 2%
KCking - December 15, 2008
we the people put them in charge
big difference
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
Oh we kept him there with sellouts mind you...I'm sure that helped his 19 year stay
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
So Carl is better then Congress
that sucks
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
it's true
KCking - December 15, 2008
just a year ago
Carl was #19 in a top 100 list of best GM’s in forbes…

IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
I bet the vote wasn't from Chiefs fans
THE_TRUTH - December 15, 2008
Well
it was by Forbes, and it was based on measurable success.
IISaiNtII - December 15, 2008
Now where did I put that poll about Enron a few years back? ;)
THE_TRUTH - December 16, 2008
"We" will take it to the next level next year
RoyalsFanStuckInCardsLand - December 15, 2008
He's comin' back
I Hope!!!!!
