Here's a picture of the ticket, QP means "quick pick" so I think it's just a coincidence.

Looks like the fans will be turning on Glass if he's not willing to add one more legit starting pitcher.

 

About time...

First the Chiefs and now the Royals. Looks like the people of KC are getting a bit impatient.

Yeah, I lived in KC from the fall of 96 through 2005 and then was back for another year...

 

Chiefs' tickets were like gold back then, maybe even more valuable. Similar to the feelings between Chicago and the Bears, Green Bay and the Packers, St. Louis and the Cardinals, etc.

The Kansas City Star

 

The elevator door opens, and here comes Clark Hunt. He is dressed in a dark suit, like always, solemn look on his face as he walks through a basement hallway at Arrowhead Stadium. Over his head, a television plays the final seconds of another remarkably inept showing by the team he inherited from his father and that is now embarrassing the family name.

 

“The Chiefs lose again,” the voice on the television says.

 

Hunt doesn’t look up. Doesn’t speak. Just keeps walking, into the locker room of the undisputed worst team in football. The door shuts behind him. A security guard in the hallway turns the TV off, and it’s just as well because the Chiefs’ pathetic 28-6 loss to the mediocre Bengals is finally over. By now, we’ve all seen enough from a 1-9 clown show.

 

The only things left are shame, ugly accusations about mistreatment from fans, and questions.

If not now, then when? If the Chiefs can land like an anvil at the bottom of the NFL in year four of a process that was supposed to be competing for the division championship, then what, exactly, could it possibly take for major changes?

 

If not after this, then what?

 

“I’m not feeling very good at this point,” coach Romeo Crennel says.

 

Some perspective: Bill Self’s winning percentage at Kansas is .835. Nick Saban’s at Alabama is .831, Tom Brady’s in New England is .774, and Michael Jordan’s in playoff series is .806.

 

Opponents at Arrowhead Stadium since last November are at .889.

 

Arrowhead used to be one of the toughest places in the NFL to play. Television executives loved having games here, the barbecue smoke in the parking lot and screaming fans inside making for some of the league’s best theater.

 

Now, fans are literally dressing for a funeral – an organized statement to wear black in mourning of the franchise they fell in love with.

 

Chiefs officials – Hunt, most notably – have done a rotten job of showing it, but they’ve been privately concerned about a growing fan resentment for some time now. Hunt continues to meet with angry fans, partly to gather information to help diagnose the problem.

 

Until now, team brass held a stubborn belief that the loudest dissent came from a vocal minority, but in a season full of milestone losses, here comes one more: Arrowhead evenly split among fans dressed in black, fans dressed in other colors and empty seats.

 

If this doesn’t push Hunt to make major changes in the coming weeks, then it’s fair to wonder what could.
