Webb City Podcast

Let's take the Duck Boat thing out of this for a minute because that's been established as a mistake. Likewise, we can take out the ridiculous premise that kids were ridiculed because that never happened. What we're left with is the criticism for the coaches & their game plan. So, with that in mind, you're saying that that is not allowed? Why? Because it's high school? That's ridiculous! Have you ever read this message board before? Coaching decisions & game plans are criticized on a regular basis. You have condemned this podcast based on 2 episodes. How wacky liberal of you. These guys give their opinion about what they see each week in the Cardinals & their opponent. Instead of focusing on the fact that they think your team could be better, you decide to dwell on the criticism. Hmmm. Seems to me that talks to the culture & mindset of your community & maybe (hopefully not) team. "It's not our fault, it's yours." Yes, I am a WC fan. Yes, I'm friends with all 3 of the guys on the podcast. That's why this garbage complaining has irritated me so much.
I will acknowledge this just because it was bad enough that I said it, but made worse by some good intentioned fans of the podcast trying to justify it. There is no defending what I said. It was a terrible and regrettable statement about the boat tragedy.
I tip my cap to you cardsbeat.
That should be #endofstory
This is exactly right. It once seemed like Webb City was the last stronghold of true class and respect. Sounds like that may be changing.
Thank you sir, let's just leave it at that and put this matter to bed.
I don't. Someone didn't know what podcast- - I answered and added my opinion .I'm a Webbie, but I'm not going to defend the podcast. Human decency needs to prevail.
We all make mistakes, in life every one of us have said or done something stupid in our life that we regret. And sometimes you just have to step up and own it and then apologize for it, and move on. Good job.
Just maybe this will give you some insight and introspection. Because now you have seen how it feels to be second guessed and insulted for something you did during your job by people you don't even know. After all nobody can be as perfect as you Webbtownies.
As for the Webbcast it is only for Webb fans they offer nothing of substance outside of the Webby perspective of the game, it is what it is. Now KKBL out of Monett 95.9 does do some local coaches interviews around the big 8. Sammy Clapper class act!! I wish they would also do some other conference but I am sure that has more to do with the target audience and time.
All this talk about criticism being okay... unless it's criticizing Webb's podcast of course.
Hey here is another classic example of a Webb City fan who lets the kids do all that hard work, remained disciplined and a class act, just so this guy can act like his shit doesn’t stink. Your a liberal
The Webb City football program and especially Coach Rod doesn’t get any kind of culture and mindset from you or your shitty podcast bro
Just commenting on the Dr Lankford comment. Great guy and yes led WEBB CITY in Class and Dignity! I don't know how many papers I have that he would cut out of the paper and sign with a "congrats" or "great job, Dr. Lankford" and then mail them to the house. Most were sports related but some were just odd things one of the kids would be in. Pretty cool a Superintendant would go through that effort for his students. Haven't heard the webcasts but am guessing some tongue n cheek comments were taken the wrong way or to be meaner than they were meant.
I will admit my Webb bias up front. I like HS football and what some bring to this site on that subject. The other crap is why I dropped to an occasional peruser and seldom post. I try to listed to the Podcast and enjoy the insight. I don't remember any distasteful jokes but maybe I missed that episode or had interruptions while trying to listen. Anyway, it happened. The Beatwriter stated as much and has owned this. He apologized and furthermore unequivocally stated he did not want anyone trying to justify it. Sounds like integrity to me. I'm guessing that there may be some non-WC fans on here that have never had at least a momentary lapse in judgement that will not accept the mea culpa. The Cardinal faithful are fortunate to have such a comprehensive football website. Please keep on keeping on Beatwriter, Doc and Mr. T.
Ford, get over yourself. They do good work and talk about the previous game and the game going forward! They don't say anything that anyone on here doesn't say! They may question a coach, but don't ever throw any kid under the bus. What they said about Willard with how big they are, their best way to beat WC was to line up and go right at them. Instead, Willard went spread! And that is all true! I love how people can hide behind a keyboard and say things just to get a reaction! Cardsbeatwriter apologized for his comment, accept it or don't. He was man enough to acknowledge that he made a mistake!

If you listened to the podcast and that comment offends you, and you live east of Carthage then you probably are. Do you go to your local library and check out books to read you don’t like?
Kind of says something about you that you say you’re offended but keep listening, get offended again & then drag up a pathetic thread that was dead for 2 weeks. Maybe they are right & you are a snowflake.
I honestly don’t think a high school administration should be trying to restrict free speech by anyone
If it really bothers you this much why don’t you stop by at practice or after a game and ask them ???geeze goober
Afraid with weather turning colder these snowflakes won’t melt until spring
There's no way he has the guts to do that! Besides, he'd have to put pants on & leave the safety of his mom's basement.
Skin used to be a lot tougher way back when. In the early 2000's i was listening to radio show out of Stillwater when they were playing Mark Mangino and Kansas during Thanksgiving. They had a segment about Mangino walking down the hallway to the dinner table. Almost ran off the Cimarron Turnpike from laughing so hard. It's just banter. They try to keep it as clean as possible but sometimes slip. Do you think the coach would be associated with it if it was a common thing.
I respect that he admitted a mistake and apologized. We all make mistakes--and he took responsibility. Someone being called a snowflake is not even close to being in the same realm as the actual offensive comments. Let it go and don't listen!
He might be a doc, but he is NO Doc Guy!
Everyone in the free world with half a brain knows who doc is. Pick up a phone and call him if you have a problem with him.
Love to hear that conversation
Hate to feed this internet tough guy but if He does coach then his comments become much more inappropriate.
