Former Chiefs QB Trent Green Gets a Job in TV

by Joel Thorman on Jul 17, 2009 3:52 PM CDT in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Offseason

A former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has a new job according to Randy Covitz of the Kansas City Star. Trent Green will work two of the St. Louis Rams preseason games. Both will be televised by the local FOX affiliate, KTVI.

Mr. Green will head to New York for the Rams first preseason game against the Jets on August 14th. The second game on August 21st will be in St. Louis against the Atlanta Falcons.

Story lines will be plentiful. Green will get a shot at breaking down the play of Mark Sanchez's first professional game and we'll hear his take on recently departed Tony Gonzalez.

A former Rams tight end will work the final preseason game against the Chiefs.

Green has said he has and will maintain his residence in Kansas City. He does, however, has some history with the Rams. He was slated to be the starter in 1999 before a knee injury knocked him out in a preseason game giving way to the now famous career of Kurt Warner. He then went back to the Rams after a one year stint in Miami.

Watching Trent Green on TV, you can tell he is very articulate and should excel in his new job. He's a quarterback, and a smart one at that, which means he'll be able to provide plenty of insight into many facets of the game. I look forward to watching his post-football debut.

Green on TV is a slam dunk.

Brains, looks, talent. Should be a surprise to no one.

The irritation factor

with Trent Green should be very low. How many out there remember the story of the bar that had a customer throw a brick through a TV when Howard Cosell came on?

You know, I aint trying to run Lenny off by any means...

but with Trent getting a few years honing his skills, he would be an awesome replacement for our main man “The Cool”.

Green or Montana have the stature as successful KC QBs.

Montana isn’t/wasn’t made to operate out of the booth. Be nice to see Lenny pass the baton to Green.

Agreed. Green was going into his slide.

The slide was supposed to protect quarterbacks, right? Imagine the shitstorm that would have gone down if Manning had taken that hit.

Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
