ChiefsPlanet - Football The Pioli Watch Thread

BREAKING NEWS Tim Grunhard is a sexist pig:

"We were playing down in Houston and getting killed. Dave Kreig was throwing interceptions all over the place. I always prided myself in getting downfield and chasing the guy [who intercepted the pass]. I'm chasing one guy about 30 yards, and he runs out of bounds right in front of the Houston cheerleaders. I think to myself, "I can cop a feel on one of these cheerleaders right now." So I ran through them and grabbed a cheerleader's boob. That's the kind of stuff that goes through your mind while you're on the field."

-- Tim Grunhard, former Chiefs center, 810

Holy shit! ROFL ROFL

Dont need to. You are already here, with me, wandering aimlessly amongst the thick sweet tasty smoke that is leaving us confused and starving.... starving for some really good munchies... munchies of news. Sadly, the munchies we keep getting are the cheetos puffs that fell between the couch cushions last night when we were high.

Is this some strange Twilight Zone episode? We are forever stuck here, waiting for the most important hire for the Chiefs in the last 20+ years, and it will never come, but all signs will point toward 'yes'. Is it ground hogs day, but in chiefs colors?

But I just don't see how the Star is nationally recognized when they don't break any stories and more to the point, the teams they cover certainly aren't newsworthy on a national scale.

I like both Whitlock and Posnanski's columns and always have. But they aren't "journalists" per se, they editorialize and comment, which is far different than actual sports reporting.

And yes, JoPo's writing for SI has been great.

Much of their beat writing, especially for the Royals and Jayhawks, is pretty damn great.

Great.

GoChiefs should be along shortly then to confirm.

nuff fo me.

When I worked for NFLScoop.com, Nick was one of the other writers. On the first day of free agency in March 2001, he puts up the headline:

"Dillon his way to KC"

He tried to convince Marty McDonald and I that this was happening. He said that Dillon was en route to KC.

Nevermind the fact that Dick Vermeil said repeatedly he wasn't interested in Corey Dillon, or the fact that Dillon did not fit the offense he was trying to run.

It was a completely bullshit story.

Athan has been full of shit for as long as he's been publishing stories on the internet.

Finally, some news...

From the coalition website:

Interesting take on Pioli from the Boston Globe chat area:

Update from someone inside the Chiefs organization!
Submitted by Rocky Alden on January 7, 2009 - 6:13pm.

Okay gang, as many of you know I still have friends at the highest level in the Chiefs organization and have this info to share with full confidence: Scott Pioli is the new GM. His announcement will come Thursday or Friday at the latest. Clark and Scott are working out the finer points of his contract tonight (money & control), but the deal is sealed. Also, Clark informed Herm Edwards and his coaching staff that they will be released. All assistants can reapply through Scott.

I only share this information because I'm no longer with the team and it's fun to share that a new day is dawning at Arrowhead. Scott Pioli will quickly move to clean out the front office and hire a new coach.

The only info I have on the new coach is it will not be Kirk Ferentz from the Iowa Hawkeyes. Kirk coaches his son at Iowa and does not want to leave until his son graduates.

Mike Shanahan has contacted Pioli, but I don't know any info beyond that.

I guess once a bullsh*ter always a bullsh*ter

why do people post his crap or even read it?

I would prefer to have more pages than to have to scroll down a page for 20 minutes.
