Don’t piss George off!

Kevin Kietzman and Jack Harry really are idiots

I couldn’t agree more with him, although to do it on TV wasn’t probably best.

That’s epic.

that’s why he was asked the questions

“You can’t vote if you haven’t held the political office you’re voting for.”

but before the countdown, will this be a JoPo column that

a) gently criticizes Brett for his rant a bit, then goes into a long, “contextalizing” excuse explanation of why Brett might have felt the way he did when he made this remarks (Cf. evry column he’s written about Pete Rose the last 1 1/2 years), or

b) firmly assures readers he’s a big George Brett fan, enjoys listening to him talk, that he wsa better than Mike Schmidt and especially Derek Jeter (did you know Jeter isn’t very good at defense?), maybe not quite as good as Pete Rose, but maybe in some ways they were alike, because they shared the same competitive fire (hey, there’s this book coming out…), and Brett has a point about talk radio, but despite all this, he thinks maybe, just maybe, Brett is being every so slighlty bit unfair to some of the legitimate criticisms that might be occasionally leveled at Hillman.

Absolutely love it. I love that he’s calling out the idiots on the radio where no one else really can and maintain credibility. Preach on brother George.

Has KSHB been watching George’s other youtube outtakes?

it reminded more of this Jack:

might be a long day for George.

I am no fan of Trey Hillman and firmly believe that he will not lead the Royals to where we all want them to be. So I don’t agree with that part of the rant. But much of the ‘media’ in this town is truly pathetic. Kevin Keitzman is the worst by far he always seems irritated or angry and some times just not very bright. He is the National Enquirer of local sports programming. Other than being a part owner of WHB I can’t understand why he is on the air. Soren Petro’s show is the best as far as intelligent and thoughtful conversation.

I know you have before, but it’s still cool. CHeck the comments — one guy thought you were serious about Muser, Poz, etc.

is running a contest on counting the bleeps in George Brett’s “s—t my pants” video for concert tickets

BADA BOOM! Sorry, it was going to be bad, but it’s really bad following the brilliance of the Few Good Men gag.

I can’t believe he was my boyhood idol…now he’s just a classic tragic hero, fatal flaw and all. Actually, I can tell I just don’t like him as a person…oh well…a sad day for me…(cue Don Henley’s “End of the Innocence”).

He seems really annoying at camp too. Maybe that’s why young guys like Gordon are not emerging as “the next Brett,” b/c to them it means becoming some annoying old man who hangs out at Spring Training telling shit stories.

F-bombs are great, and so is the occasional fecal-oriented anecdote. I am guilty of both. I think the golf interview is pretty funny, and I could care less about the local KC sports radio/news fiefdom, but the Youtube story caught me off-guard, that’s what I was referring to. I know all these guys are human but dude, TMI. It was less about the story but more the fact that he just seemed kind of annoying, even to the guys around him.

Retro, I know that no sports hero is going to live up to the sort of romanticized on-field persona/character we perceive, but I’d like to think that off the field, I’d at least enjoy having a beer with the guy, but I can no longer even say that about him. Toss in his friendship with Rush and it all has me wishing that I knew absolutely nothing about his personal life, and he would probably say the same.

Not a big deal really, it’s kinda like the first time your girlfriend accidentally farts around you. You realize, well, we’re all human, I still love her. But does she shit her pants twice a year and tell you about it proudly and with great detail? that’s a deal breaker, ladies!

He’s still my favorite pro athlete of all time, I just know he’d piss me off if we ever had a conversation.

you can’t measure competitiveness, therefore it doesn’t exist. I think it just means that George is a total douche.

There is absolutely no place in sports for emotion. Winning is not fun, it is merely the random confluence of a series of probabilities, and therefore should be looked at no differently than the outcome of a science experiment.

Is that when he talks about “30 teams,” he holds up three fingers. I understand why, but it’s just funny — if he reallly needs to emphasizes the 30 teams, holding up three and assuming the viewer/cameraman will automatically know to multiply by 10.

I dunno, just thought it was kinda funny.

I saw on Twitter that KK basically did nothing

is that this is just hilarious on many levels — the outburst, the language, the drunkenness, the pants…

TREE-MENDOUS. The only thing that could have improved it is if the video had been available earlier during the off-day.

an article on KMBC’s website that also links to a couple snippets of Brett’s appearance on 610 this morning, if anyone is interested.

hilarious! He kinda reminds me of my grandpa. Kinda has a point I can see why he’d be angry and all, but I was too busy laughing at the pants and curse words. Cue my previous girlfriend: “You’re such a five year old”

Seriously? This is that big of a deal? Seriously?

is this the first time someone has ever been upset with Twibell?

that RoyalsFanKC guy is deleting any comment that goes against Brett.

It’s fun to see someone open up and say what he really thinks. And those talking heads like Keitzman and Twibell deserved it.
