It’s kind of nice to talk about something other than KC sports teams because then we don’t have to focus on the Royals or Chiefs. The Royals who now that it doesn’t matter start playing baseball like they actually belong on the field. The Chiefs with their revolving door mentality. Let’s see if we can replace all 53 players on the roster from last year with the dregs from other teams.
Good correlation with the Godfather. Petro was “making an offer that Wright could not refuse” in Petro’s mind. We know that Petro thinks he is the best gambler, the most knowledgeable trivia expert, the best broadcaster, and now the official I’ll make you or break you Syracuse grad. If that is not biggest example of ego gone mad other than Kietzman who refuses to believe that he makes bad predictions.
I am not sure I would want be in 810 staff meetings with the egos that would at that table.

“I don’t have time for you…”
How many times have his callers heard that. What, exactly, does Soren do with all that time? He’s a sports talk radio host..the guy ain’t curing cancer here.
I remember Petro when the only job he could get in KC was the public-address announcer at Wizards games. Now, he’s suddenly Dom Petro? What a clown…
Nick Wright’s Nose
I miss Turk McBride’s ass…
bcm
The mole, who has stated on air that they are friends with Petro? Who has on Entercom air made fun of the entire 610 staff?
simple
Dare.
Ptolemy
Whitlock vs. Fortune was entertaining. Petro vs. Wright is the Mexican janitor fighting with the guy that rolls the trash out to the dumpster. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
jojo
I wish some of the royals would have the
fire and passion on the field that
petro and wright have in the press room.
Maybe they might win half their games.
This royals fan is out. Too much shit and
no results. I’ve seen how low a team can
get…this is the worst baseball team in
royals history…possibly the worst in
baseball history.
For all Mr. K did for this city, for his
legacy with the new performing arts center..
his educational programs..his foundation..
his generosity…his greatness …how did we
end up with the pieces of shit/the lowest
fucking idiots/the money grubbing/low lifes
we know have with glass and hunt. 2 worthless
suck jobs!,.
WyCo
I agree. There’s no doubt it’s Dare.
ManDshagger
Soren Petro ain’t Tony Soprano…AJ Soprano, or Fredo Corleone is more like it. He’s more insecure than the mud hut bank vault in Zimbabwe. If Nick Wright wants to make some bones he needs to whupp Soren’s ass in full view of the public. All this talk shit is for pussies. As Mills Lane used to say, “Let’s get it on!”
Old Man Kissel
Nick Wright=Punk!
Petro called him out and Wright balked.
Petro Pwned Wright.
810 scoops 610 once again!
SM
Is Nick Wright bragging because in 15 years years he’ll be out of radio? Hell, he’ll be lucky to make it through 2010.
Petro may be a jerk, but he’s a talented jerk. Wright may be the worst sports radio host in the country.
Collective Noses
810 has a history of bullying people that present any type of resistance in their quest for world domination. I agree with Greg that a little drama in the sports radio world is both entertaining and comical (especially in lieu of the horrid professional sports scene in KC). I don’t have a side in this battle and found Nick’s rant yesterday to be very entertaining.
Rick
Soren=No Talent Loser
Uncle Dick
Whitlock and Fortune were actually going to rumble in Fortune’s rec room, sort of a suburban “Fight Club”, but when Whitlock became overwhelmed from the smell of dog piss, he immediately hopped a plane down to Michael Vick’s with a roll of twenty’s and a filet knife.
If they can’t be bet, they can be et. Pup gravy on toast and a bottle of MD20/20, just like mama used to make.
Don’t take your beagles when the Chiefs play the Eagles.
kidcongo
Nick Wright is the only sport talk host that has ever kept me listening. Anything against Nick Wright on this board is pure personal interest; friends, addies, etc.
Pete
Nick lost me last year when he pretty much guarenteed a victory against the Bengals the last game of the year, he went on and on about how the chiefs shouldn’t get rid of Carl and Herm. Also, the way he talks I want me to shove an icepick in my ears.
Brian
1st: Lazlo calling anyone Pork Chop is irony at its finest.
2nd: Wright keeps talking about how Petro does too much trivia and promos. Um, The Royals signed their 1st round pick yesterday and it wasn’t MENTIONED on Wright’s show. He never talks college sports, except to make uninformed picks. The ONLY thing he talks about are Petro and the Chiefs, and now that his boy Turk is gone he may have to cut back on the Chiefs talk.
jojo
uncle dick…glazier should hire you as a
stand up comedian..for the first time i
laughed my ass off at your jokes.
Uncle Dick
Can’t blame Whitlock too much, being the common defense of dogfighting is that it is a cultural deal in the black community, I suppose much the same as Koreans eating dog. “Greyhound” is Korean for “fast food.” We should buy Whitlock the Korean cookbook, “101 Ways to Wok your Dog.”
Come on now, haven’t you ever noticed there aren’t any squirrels, rabbits, or pigeons around Chinese restaurants? Go up on the roof, it looks like a minature zoo. I can just see Marlin Perkins squatting behind a fern, saying ” The wiley urban grey squirrel, today’s king of the trees, tomorrow’s General Chao’s chicken.
Dexter Morgan
Lazlo is a joke just like the rest of ’em.
Paul
Old Man Kissel nailed it as usual…..and KidCongo exactly how does Nick Wright’s TESTICLES taste you nutswinger?
nick
I respect Soren’s knowledge of sports. But he’s always come across a little too know-it-all on the radio.
And Nick Wright is correct that Petro spends way too much time pimping products and not being entertaining.
This incident makes me root for young Nick. I’ve always liked his energy and attempts at humor and his candidness.
And Greg, I agree, this is awesome for us radio-listening KC sports fans. Anything that causes a stir over at Countryclub 810 is an absolute joy to behold.
thatguy
God forbid that Soren spends to much time talking about his sponsers. If Nick Wright had sponsers I’m sure he would as well.
nick
thatguy,
Good point and good defense of Soren.
Now defend him not being entertaining, pompus and being a little harsh on his callers.
Nick Wright ain’t great yet. His pauses between words is a bit grating. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes it big down the road.
thatguy
Nick Wright won’t make it big if he keeps burning bridges. Like it or not Petro does have connections all over the country and is very well respected in the sports community. Yes he can be borish and yes sometimes entertainment value is a little low, but it isn’t exactly like this is the greatest sports market in the world. Petro chose to come back here and work bc he is from here. Wright needs to learn that respect is earned not given, and being a punk doesn’t warrant respect. Yes he will appeal to the lowest common denominator in this town, but as far as his career is concerened he should probably take a step back, take a deep breath, and realize that if he wants to “make it” he will need a few references.
david
I cant listen to Petro. The sports trivia and ‘stump the jerk’ calls make me turn to Dr. Laura or Ramsey for God’s sake.
nick
thatguy,
I think you’re calling me the lowest common denominator. If I was Soren Petro, I might call you a d*** sucker.
Wright may in fact be a punk. But punks don’t suck as much bullies.
I’ll take Nick’s side.
Rick
David-I concur
newbaum turk
If Wright had any sack at all, he would have told Petro to meet him in the parking lot and settle it. Petro went right to his face and all Nick did was be a pussy and then complain about it on air when Petro wasn’t around
Rick
Nick challenged Soren to a stump the chump contest and Soren declined.
MoCrash
Stupidity apparent runs amok in KC radio. Rampant silliness between egos with arrested development. Good for Greg, painful for those with a sense of proportion.
Tibor
Petro has the best show in KC,I don’t care about the politics of KC media. Petro has better guests and better analysis than Kietzman or anyone else in KC. Border patrol a close second. Kietzman is the worst ever and 610 has been awful since Whitlock left!
ThePeople’sElbow
“GH: Possible Entercom moles;
1) Darla Jaye: No other real reason this talking Marlboro has an on-air job. She must be there solely as a plant for Petro. …”
Right on Greg! Sometimes the wife and I tune in just to hear the chain smoking pirate laugh.
Rick
Soren talks nonsense and has little to no true sports knowledge unless you count trivia. Famous Soren quote after a player has a record breaking game “He needs to get better for this team to go far.” WTF He’s an idiot
Old Man Kissel
JOCO SOB has a great take on Punk Wright.
Boggest Douche Bag of the week.
http://jocosob.blogspot.com/2009/09/biggest-douche-bag-of-week.html
“Chances are that you have never heard of him (consider yourself lucky) but those of us that still have scars from his attempt at baseball talk and white guilt aren’t as lucky.”
“This week the douche bag threw a temper tantrum about Soren Petro calling him out and well, it was a pathetic. There is no crying in sports talk radio! Grow up. “
Old Man Kissel
810 scoops 610 once again!
Rick
Some day Soren will be the answer to a trivia question.
Rick
Chiefs need to play an arena football team just so they can get a win under their belt.
ShawnF
Standard Entercom tactics: if you at first you don’t succeed, attack the competition. Nick Wrong got called out, and ran and hid on his show to try and slam it down some more.
I don’t necessarily condone with Soren did, but having said that, the attitudes of the 610 staff is funny. They are getting their butt kicked in every demographic, so they really don’t have anything to lose by attacking or going after the market leader.
There’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Rainbow Man
810 is beating everyone’s butt. Why.. Because Kietzman has a great monologue, and works his butt off.
Rick
Kietzman…yawn…zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Old Man Kissel
I guess Rick likes White guilt and frat boy radio.
Rick
frat boy radio better then almost dead radio

Rainbow man is Keitzman
