So whatever. It'll be interesting to see who gets the job moving forward.
The problem with Teicher wasn't his negativity. It was the bizarre and often outright stupid takes that fueled the negativity. As a Chiefs reporter, you'd think he'd know more about football. [Reply]

My main issue with him is he never, ever, ever had any news that wasn't put out to the full press by the Chiefs. I think they might have hated him and froze him out very early in his career, having no idea he would somehow stick around this long. Can't remember ever learning anything from Teicher's "reporting". He was an aggregator of information that was already made public. And he sucked at that, too. [Reply]

Yea well put. He was very basic and booooooorrrinng
He never adapted well to the modern social media age. At least Whitlock (love him or hate him) developed a schtick that made people Talk about him [Reply]
I wonder how many accidents his segments on 810 have caused over the years? 5 minutes of listening to him could put an 8 year old on Halloween to sleep. [Reply]
Teicher could be heard saying after the picture that he doubted the cake was made with sugar and the icing candles are slightly misshapen and don't match each other.. Doesn't think he will enjoy it as much as a cookie cake... [Reply]

Yeah, I've no issue with a hard-nosed, no-nonsense, brusque journalist who challenges people, certainly better than the usual access/client journalism you get. But that's not who Teicher was. He was a rude, miserable prick, and he was fundamentally lazy. He took himself seriously and his job not nearly enough. Good riddance. [Reply]
