Both he and Mitch should hang it up, IMO.
Roll with someone who's more Kevin Harlan than Gus Johnson as the PBP and promote Kendall to color.

Lenny is a curmudgeon, but I like him. I have no idea how he hasn't bludgeoned that idiot Holthus to death, though. That guy tries way too goddamned hard to be over the top.

I absolutely hate Joe Buck. I've just never cared for Lenny's "Back in my day" style. I guess it might be different if I had seen him play, but I didn't.

Good lord, it's about time. He's got a good voice and he was an excellent broadcaster but these last few years have been horrid. He's so repeatitive.

I guess I'm and idiot...but I like Lenny and Mitch. I hope the Chiefs get a SB before they hang it up, they deserve it for all the years they've done this.
But, a new guy would be intriguing, and I agree, Lenny has been a little...bitchy lately. That's one of the things I liked about him, but it's been showing a lot more it seems these last few seasons.

Lenny the Cool is a living legend here in KC, but it's time for him to move over and let someone else man his chair. Glad to hear that the Powers That Be will allow him to depart gradually and gracefully.
Leonard helped bring the NFL to KC, and for that alone he deserves a respectful departure from his broadcasting career. Thanks for the ride, Lenny!!! |

How old is he? Do you blame him?
I thought those really bad teams like the 2-14 year did a number on Lenny. There could be more to this, but I hope he just wants to slow down.

He's 81, he's given 50 years to the Chiefs, if wants to sit up there and snore and drool on the mic like grandpa Simpson they'll let him do that.

Better take away his driver's license as well, just to be safe. Old people are a menace to society.
