"If I was on this team, I would have cut my throat [Thursday] night. This is supposed to be 'Terrorhead' Stadium. It's a freaking Disneyland out there! We're 0-4 at Arrowhead Stadium, 0-4! Trent Green, quit smiling out there; you look like Krusty the Clown. I may get fired from my color job [with the Chiefs' preseason television coverage], but I'm tired of being a homer! I love this town and I love this team. Don't settle for second-best and lollygag around out there! Tony Gonzalez, take your money and run. Go play for somebody who wants to win. I'd take a flamethrower to that team. I'm the smartest guy in this town [for retiring after last season]. We lost our pride, baby. We lost our pride."
-- Tim Grunhard, WHB 810
GH: For the past twelve seasons as the Chiefs' center, Grunhard chastised the fans and the media for criticizing the Chiefs. One of his more famous quotes regarding this matter was, "You can disagree, but don't be disagreeable." It appears Grunhard has finally decided to lift his rosy red blinders and see this Chiefs organization for what it really is. Welcome to our world, Tim.
Caller Carol: "Where would we be today if we still had Rich Gannon?"
Grunhard: "I'd have a ring on my finger."
"They're a bunch of drones out there. No one can make their own decisions. Elvis [Grbac] was twice as good as this."
-- Grunhard, on Green's saying it's up to the Chiefs' sideline to call timeouts, 810
"Tim has just returned from being spanked in the outer office."
-- Frank Boal, implying that station management told Grunhard to tone down his criticism of the Chiefs, 810
GH: Memo to WHB: Listeners respect the truth, especially when delivered with the passion and depth of inside knowledge Grunhard possesses. Do not rein this guy in.
"I don't know what to say. I'm at a loss for words. We're past terrible and into pathetic now."
-- Rich Baldinger, former Chiefs player and current NFL analyst, following the Chiefs' 35-28 loss to Indianapolis, Metro Sports
"I thought about jumping out of Section 315 [Thursday] night, but there was nobody to land on."
-- Caller Donny, on the sparse crowd in the fourth quarter at Arrowhead, 810
