In between the radio row episode and this one was 55 minutes of shitting on Nick Bolton in between Nate openly mocking the draft nerds who love draft season and bother to inform themselves.
Ive listened to these guys since episode 1 of Times Ours but if they don't eat a great big shit sandwich on their next episode, I'm out.
This is 3 straight weeks of wholly unacceptable 'content'. It's been really, REALLY bad and honestly reflects poorly on all of KCSN if Tucker, Craig and Matt don't demand they fall on their swords next week.
If nothing else they have to stop doing this live. They clearly aren't equipped for it. [Reply]
Gaining huge advantages in the pros where everyone is elite is very difficult. This means that acquiring players to gain as many edges as possible, no matter how slight, is very important. This is a good signing for the Chiefs. [Reply]

I’d be astonished if he was the only player on the team guilty of this at some point [Reply]
I just had a weird hallucination as I was scrolling this thread that fans of a team that always makes deep runs in the playoffs, who lived through the kicker who shall remain nameless, and a bunch of other playoff kicking mishaps, were considering the idea of getting rid of one of the most clutch postseason kickers of all time to save a few bucks.
I need to lie down now until the swamp vapors pass. [Reply]

Even ultra-woke Around the Horn was supportive of Araiza getting another chance.
I agree with the other posters about Times Ours/Only Weird games. I used to love that show, and still really like all those guys as they seem like good dudes. But the signal to noise ratio has gotten worse and worse. One 45 minute show a week in the off-season would be enough.
They need to learn that a little goes a long way on stuff like Seth getting sidetracked, laughing at each other w/o saying anything, Nate's bits where no one knows where he's going and it just goes on and on and on, etc.
And wtf Brisco, leave Bolton alone. The dude's a great player. Remember when you were apoplectic about us letting Bashaud Breeland go? And Fenton to a lesser degree? Looks like the team knew what they were doing. I trust the coaches if they tell us Bolton is doing a ton of little things that set the other players up for success. [Reply]

Really?!?
How about this: “A bank teller sued Nate Taylor for emotional distress and putting a gun in her face when he robbed the bank with Chiefsaholic. The US Attorney’s office declined to prosecute because video of the robbery showed he was not there at the time so Nate Taylor has technically been cleared but questions remain.”
They also complained that this woman’s lawyer said they dropped the case because she couldn’t afford the legal fees for the counter-suit. That is a load of crap. Representing her on the counter-suit is part and parcel of representing her as a plaintiff. It’s covered by the contingency. The lawyer will keep track of fees related to that for purposes of damages if she wins the lawsuit but you don’t drop the case because of that. You drop the case because it’s a dead-bang loser and you know it. You use the “legal fees” excuse tags a way to cover your ass.
The latest episode really pissed me off. They ask how KC fans are supposed to feel when Araiza booms a punt that pins an opposing team deep in their territory? I’m going to feel great that our team can avail themselves of his services after he was falsely accused of a crime, after he’s been to hell and back. [Reply]
