I think if those traditions are minimized, the team name could still remain in 20 years.
Yeah Brooke - they're getting rid of seats and building a drum platform so they can phase out the Chop. Seems legit.
So who's family gave her the 'intel' on this gem? [Reply]

She obviously isnt very perceptive as the biggest person who agreed with her was run out of town within a couple days of pissing off the fanbase.
This newest article should punch her ticket right out.
Why would you have her on in the NFL dead time? She sucks during the season let alone right now.
I mean unless you want stories about food and digging through dudes twitters to make them look bad. [Reply]

Who is this Brenda person and why should I care what she's tweeting?
Does Brenda Tracy have some local relevance? [Reply]
How does a sports writer for a Kansas City based news company public ally and vocally hate the largest sports team in Kansas City. That makes zero sense lmao. [Reply]
At some point we just have to stop responding. She's becoming another version of keitzman. It'd be one thing if these things were debatable and arguable. She seems to just be stirring up shit at this point. I thought she was originally brought in to do Elizabeth Merrill like puff pieces but i guess not. [Reply]

Terez is great at it. His style of reporting should be the mold these companies look for. [Reply]
Nate Taylor manages to walk the 'interest/substance' line really well. Keysor gets a little too excited about his ability to make GIFs but he occasionally drops some genuine insight. Craig Stout is actually damn good and with a little more fine tuning and technical proficiency, I think he'd kill the Chiefs beat.
It's not as hard as this hag is making it look. At least a dozen guys on this board would do a better job of it than she does if they took as much as a sports media correspondence course just to round off some standards and practices.
Sorry. I was attempting to reference Brooke's tweet about Tyreek and commas, implying that women don't know sports the same way black people don't know commas.
Gravy is my least favorite food, and gravy on Twinkies sounds disgusting. If I’m trying to maintain my figure, I’m probably going to eat nothing but pizza drenched in ranch dressing. Those calories taste way better.

I guess she's on the right side so they won't go after her.
It's pretty ridiculous. As pointed out earlier, she is just stirring the pot...so she invents stuff to bitch about in an attempt to stay relevant.
Tyreek's vocation is a professional athlete. An NFL player. Of course his grammar and punctuation skills are not going to be on par with somebody that writes for a living. [Reply]

Depends.
Does he wear a fedora, have patchy facial hair and weigh about a buck twenty five while lamenting the repression of the patriarchy?
Because THAT white mail could get away with it.
O.City is absolutely right - this isn't even about gender or race anymore, it's about simply being on the right team. She could double down on that stance and her media overlords would defend her. [Reply]
"Brenda" is a Twitter reference, someone called her that and it better than saying her name.
Her being on 810 did seem more regular a few months ago ... offseasons writing is what started this mess. [Reply]
