I guess that's a bigger and healthier entity, but it's also a complete dead-ender. She's not moving up at ESPN and she's not getting a bigger press gig anywhere writing that piddly-ass column that nobody reads.
The KC Star has been, and in many ways still is, a stepping stone for significant national journalists to kick-start their careers. She got a sweetheart gig there and had a fantastic opportunity to follow the career path of far better writers that came before her in that same chair.
And she turned it into a 'pivot' to ESPN where she'll just kinda slowly fade away. If for no other reason than, as was mentioned BEFORE all the Tyreek Hill stuff - she's just a bad football writer. She's been put in the spot that least allows her to demonstrate any skills she may have. She's been sent to writer Siberia, IMO.
I'd say it's largely a lateral move but what it truly is, is a waste of a fantastic opportunity presented to her. Everyone that has done that job well before her has gone on to greener pastures. She saw barbecuing Hill as her jumping off point to national prominence. It most assuredly didn't work out that way.
EDIT: And I absolutely think she was dumped. That kind of in-season swap just doesn't happen unless the Star had told her to go find something else post-haste. And they sure had Teope lined up quickly, didn't they? But/for the Hill fiasco, she's still our 'lead' beat writer. {shudder} [Reply]

She went from covering the greatest athlete in the world to covering the dregs of the career of Big Ben - and whoever is starting for the Steelers next season is going to be embarrassing.
Chiefs fucked her good. They forced that bitch out. [Reply]

I think you may be confusing KK for someone else.. [Reply]
The guy who I was chasing in the ratings back in KC gave a quote for this story saying he’s the Patriots & I’m the Jaguars.
He’s since been forced out of the radio station he once *owned* for being an unhinged lunatic & is out of the business… and I guess I’m doing OK. ��*♂️��*♂️��*♂️ https://t.co/TTEQUM5PDq
