Chiefs Hall of Famer Ed Podolak "retiring"

Posted by Justin Kendall on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 9:57 AM

If you get your picture taken while peeping down a woman's shirt ...

you may be forced to "retire" when your boss sees the photos.


A Des Moines television station says that Iowa Hawkeye radio broadcaster, Chiefs legend and boobie inspector Ed Podolak is "retiring" from calling Hawkeye football games. The official announcement could come today.

Podolak made a stupid, drunken mistake during the Hawks' Tampa trip. The guy was already on shaky ground. In 1997 -- I know, 12 years is a long time ago -- Podolak was arrested after police found him passed out drunk on the U of I campus. But after 26 years on the job, he didn't deserve to get whacked. Not for this. And that's coming from a Cyclone.

Update: Yep, he's gone. -- Justin Kendall

As a Raider fan, we hated Ed but respected him. Fun to watch, great player. Ed and friends can tailgate with us at the Oakland Coliseum anytime! Miss he and all the Chiefs of the 60s and 70s - studs, great rivalry, great times!

Watched my Father toss him out of our restaurant here in Vegas back in the mid70's. He was hammered and somewhat rude but left with very little Sicilian motivation.

What about the girl who seems to me she is willing to show him? Doesn't say much for her!!!! I hope that KATIE ( the girl who posted the pictures) is ready for a big mess in her life. She has really effected Ed's life, the girl in the picture and her own. I'm not saying this is right, but she is just as guilty as he is. Maybe someone should mess with her job like she has messed with his. What comes around goes around Katie!!!

It's not a real big deal.

It also something an employer would not appreciate being connected with.

I guess you would have to have a job to understand why he was let go.

At some point, you have to stop being a drunken kid, regardless of how much money you may have.

So many men, and some women, defending his very sad, adolescent behavior by berating the woman he is accosting and minimizing his responsibility for his own behavior.

From past situations it is clear Mr. P is an alcoholic and should take responsibility for his actions. Defending his behavior only means that you are defending yours as well.

As a kid growing up in Kansas City, my all time favorite Kansas City Chiefs was Ed Podolak. What he does in his personal life is his business. Heck, I'd be honored to have a beer with him as long as I have my favorite food: pizza. However, if I was at a bar looking down a woman's blouse to see her boobs and my wife finds out about it I'd be dead meat with her. He's probably having a mid-life crisis and that's what happens when they behave like that.

I have known Ed since he played with the Chiefs, nothing short of a 1st class guy who went out of his way to help others. My best to him and his future. Gary Shull

Another thing 20-something about that chick is her dress size.

Just because Podolak beer goggled the elephant-MRI girl is no reason for him to quit his job. Did you see American Idol in Kansas City? The city is morbidly obese and elephant-MRI girl is probably one of the 5% of single Kansas City women on the less-than-a-deuce-and-a-half side of the fence.

So, it seems plausible that Ed has another plan for his career. My bet is he sees a return to the NFL with the Chiefs. And, why not, the Chiefs seem to be the only thing on the Missouri side that are trying to better themselves.

Sorry, but there is something unseemly and unctuous about a 60 year old guy acting like a drunk jackass and flirting with a 20 something girl. At some point, it's time to grow up.

Way to represent our school Leif. I'd rather have her be from our school than you.

Geez, what's the big deal? They are both adults, legal age to drink and Eddie isn't seeing any more than if the young lady was on the beach in a 2 piece bathing suit. Ed knows more about football than any announcer that has ever called an Iowa game. All he is doing is partying with the fans instead of being some poumpous stuffed shirt A-Hole full of himself like some of the other exathletes are (think Ted Williams). Ed's the life of the party and everyone is having a good time. I'd be honored to drink with Ed.

Big Deal. It is all in fun and it's not like he's a threat. It has been 12 years since we made his last mistake. If this were you, what would you expect to happen.
