"Dick Vermeil's press conference was an hour and seven minutes by my count. There were so many people in the media who said, 'I'm going to get this guy. I'm going to barbecue this guy. I'm going to take him to task.' [Vermeil] owned the room. He had the media eating out of his hand. It's a different time for the Chiefs and their relationship with the media in terms of access and in terms of respect. Dick Vermeil has been one of us for fifteen to twenty years. He's been a media guy."
-- Dave Stewart, KQRC 98.9
GH: Counting on Vermeil to repair the Chiefs' disintegrating rapport with the local media might be asking for more of a miracle than he pulled off with the Rams.
"[The local media] can't help but like [Vermeil]. Even Jason Whitlock was holding up the wall smiling."
-- Stewart, 98.9
"I'm really not surprised Whitlock likes [Vermeil] because I've seen it in more than one bathroom: 'Whitlock loves Dick.' I've seen it two, three times in the last week."
-- Johnny Dare, 98.9
"A guy at the Miami-Oakland game went into the bathroom with a Dolphins Starter jacket on and some Raider fans beat him up and knocked him out. The Raider fans were coming in the locker room and urinating on the guy while he laid there passed out on the floor."
-- Rodney Peete, backup quarterback for the Raiders, Jim Rome Show
"[UMKC] said they wanted to go in a different direction. I guess south is what they were looking for."
-- Norm Stewart, former Mizzou basketball coach, on UMKC's decision to fire Bob Sundvold and the poor start by the 'Roos under their new coach, Dean Demopoulos, WHB 810
"Right now, unfortunately, Missouri's probably on the bottom rung in the conference in the [football] recruiting race."
-- Jeremy Crabtree, football recruiting analyst, 810
"I've always told our guys that no matter what you do, no matter what you accomplish on the football field, I don't ever want you to be known for just being a football player. All of a sudden then you become Al Bundy. And that's what you don'twant to be. You want to be so much more."
-- Tony Severino, head football coach of Rockhurst High School, in a speech to the Rockhurst student body, KSHB Channel 41
