Jack Harry Now a Fan of Chiefs Coach Todd Haley

by Joel Thorman on Dec 28, 2009 10:19 AM CST in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

A week after stirring the pot with an unsubstantiated report from, uh, a fan email, Jack Harry of NBC-41in Kansas City congratulated the Chiefs on a job well done.

"This is one of the few times this season that I can say I was proud of the Chiefs. My hat’s off to Todd Haley. … I think this game was very, very big for (Haley) because apparently he had them ready."

Huh?

Harry has been one of, if not the biggest critic of the Chiefs regime. His rants reports are defined by yelling and personal insults like, "Todd Haley is a wuss!"

After his report came out, and Todd Haley quickly denied it, Harry apparently felt the need to compliment the Chiefs after another loss on Sunday. Why?

Media watchdog Greg Hall of KC Confidential offered up this nugget in response to Harry's tone while doing post-game on 810 WHB.

"If Harry’s Fingergate is going to neuter his radio and TV personality," Hall writes, "he needs to take a vacation until he can play with his entire arsenal. Half Jacked is no way to go to work."

Maybe Jack Harry is jealous

that Haley has two actual lips while he has just one.

The last resort of someone who can’t win a discussion is to start yelling. The sign of a classic poor communicator. I remember when he was on Channel 5 ages ago. Couldn’t stand him then and was overjoyed when he disappeared for so long. Sadly the guy that has to yell and scream to get attention is back.

Maybe they can meet in an alley in the P&L District. Harry can bring a mic and Haley can bring a nine iron. Last one left standing is right.

I don't have a clue as to who this guy is. Is he worse than Whitlock?

Whitlock

self serving and pathetic as he may be is at least a talented writer. Harry is just a moron with a mic.

This is my signature line. It is full of awesome and win.

Yeah.

Plus Whitlock tends to have a decent article one or two times out of ten. Harry is never relevant.

My sentiments are likely to be summed up with one of these 2 quotes:

"Shut the f--- up."- Matt Cassel
"WHAT THE F---?!?!"- Todd Haley

Even if I disagree with Whitlock's viewpoint

he usually write an interesting article. Harry is just a guy that realizes time has passed him by and has resorted to a Bill O’Reilly journalism style.

I kind of figured it was a love-hate relationship all along.

“Todd Haley, you’re a WUSS!!! That’s Jack Smack….. baby I didn’t mean that….. you coached a good game.”

I'm not a huge Nick Wright fan but...

he had a great segment where he played the Harry report about the “bird” and was just bashing Harry left and right. He played the part where Harry said that he was basing this story on two emails he received. Nick was like “OOHHHH, here I was worried you didn’t have any proof Jack Harry, but if you got TWO WHOLE EMAILS, that’s as good as catching it on video. I mean there’s no way someone could make that up if you got TWO WHOLE EMAILS.” He then went on to explain why the email didn’t even sound possible. It was pretty funny.
