Dr. Kietzman

I am not able to listen to WHB sports radio as often as I might like. I enjoy Soren Petro the most of those with a daily show. He is very well informed on a wide variety of topics, comes to intelligent and reasonable conclusions and has a fine sense of humor. I probably listen to Kevin Kietzman the least. He just seems angry and irritated much of the time. Listening can be humorous as he can occasionally come up with gems like yesterday though. He was going on about how awful the Royals are and how he doesn't really want to watch or pay attention to them at this point. He then went on to point out that when the Royals were 18-11 he told everyone that it was all an illusion and that they were not a good team. He said he was universally blasted by his audience during this time.
Again I am not a regular listener so I can't verify as to him being universally blasted by that opinion, but he was certainly correct in his long term assessment. He then goes to say he doesn't know why the listeners would question his opinions on sports because this is what he does for a living and has done for quite some time. OK he lost me on that one but then he asks the listeners whether you would question the diagnosis that you get from your doctor. I don't know, maybe its just me but his comparing himself and his opinions on what will take place in the sports world to that of a doctors diagnosis really struck me as odd and just slightly pompous. I realize our health care system needs fixing but really. Just saying......
