I can understand that, being that there's 2-3 pages of smack the 12 pages that where added yesterday go fairly quick.

I joined up when Phobia went over there for a while. They are like their own little WPI cult. If you speak out against the bullshit, the lack of "insider" information you get lambasted by every other member until you just stop your subscription because you suddenly realize you're not like these people, you forgot to drink the kool-aid.

:clap::grouphug::Bwana::rockon::toast::hail::bravo:

FWIW, Adam Schefter (sp?) was on a morning sports talk show here and says he's thinking that Pioli will stay. :shrug:

I have no idea what to think. Just gotta wait and see I guess.

I can smell it. I smell pubes on fire.

Which ones? TV stations reporting news usually have links at some point.

Dave Stewart on Metro Sports said it was a done deal last night. FWIW.

Really like which ones? I haven't watched any of the local channels.

Honestly I don't think anyone really knows. Clark is keeping his thinking only to himself which is the right way to do it.

Yeah, his report has been mentioned. I was hoping someone with some more juice had joined the party.

do you know Ron Borges(?)..he's a boston sports writer, i guess

he was interviewed in 810, said we shouldn't hire Pioli...i didn't hear it but that's the gist according to the hosts

I know exactly how WPI premium members feel....and can demonstrate it in picture.

He WAS a Boston Sports writer before he was fired for plagarism.

Whatever sports writer you hate the most, multiply by ten, and that's how EVERY Patriots fan in New England feels about Borges. He is universally despised. I'm not kidding. For whatever reason, he HATES Belichick and has been unrelenting in his criticism from day one of the Belichick era. As you can imagine, given that Belichick actually, you know, wins, this has made him very unpopular 'round here.

lol....thanks, that what I was curious about

I heard most of the interview on 810 this morning with the Boston writer... he didn't seem too hi on Pioli, giving all credit to Belichek...

he said he is just the kind of guy who wants people to "want" him but will always end up going back to his "old girlfriend"

that interview took a lot of the shine off of Pioli for me, but I'm still going to be happy if we get him

if we manage to sign Pioli while watching WPI get donkey punched hanging naked upside down from a ski lift, this will be


The Greatest Thread Evar

Channel 9 and Lenny Dawson and metro sports are the ones that I saw.

They really got us spinning our wheels.

I was thinking about this this morning. Suppose the Kraft's told Pioli to go out and find out what his market value is, only to have him come back and have the Patriots match his top offer... hmmmm....

My sources high up in the local high school football team indicate Pioli contract is signed meaning he is the Chiefs GM. They are simply waiting until 3 days after Ramadan 2009 before announcing.

Oh, well that makes sense.

Borges not only knows nothing, he'll say anything to undermine the Patriots.

Ignore him completely.

To be honest, this is about what he did a couple years ago, as far as I can tell.

And it may have nothing to do with the Krafts. See Dave Lane's post earlier in this thread. He may do it himself to get himself a raise. Not unreasonable.

attempt at humor...FAIL!

I realize that without the Pioli thread mergers there would be 300-400 of them on the front page, but this thread is soooo big that it's hard to find the legit info through the random bull, smack, and hype.

Anyway the thread header could be updated with important stuff for quick looking - even if it's just a post # for us to go searching for?

Okay im still afraid the Pioli may not be the genius that we all think and hope for but what it might do by him geting the job is that Clark lets him try to go out and get some free agents and allows him to hire a big name coach right away. in my eyes im hoping for Shanahan if not MARTY.. Yeah i said it!!
No matter what happens, it has to be better with Pioli over Carl right now and any coach will have to be better than Herm unless we are hiring a soccer coach to coach the Chiefs, damn maybe Herm was born to coach the other kind of football!!

I had a funny one earlier in the thread....I swear.

1 other thing im confused about, like the situation of BC firing the coach for interviewing, why would the Patriots org. knowingly let Pioli go to all these interviews looking for another job and not just fire him?
I mean if i own a pizza shop and my manager is all over the new that he is interviewing for 2-3 other pizza shops, his ass is out the door, especially if he is not the brains behind it all.

I second that motion. DaFace, make it happen. :D

Anyway, I'm eagerly awaiting the news. Christ, I've been waiting for a week, but that's just my pathetic, impatient ass when it comes to news. I agree with PastorMikH; we should get some links in the first post, maybe a recap of what's going on for newcomers.

lol

they're talking about the infamous email on 810....basically saying it's become spam..

the truth is that there is no information

the only thing anyone has reported for sure is that the Chiefs have made an offer...

Hiring Shanahan would make me physically sick to my stomach. In all seriousness, I'd rather keep Herm.

ROFL


now they're saying that Good Morning America has a crawl reporting that it is a done deal....

this is crazy

What the f*** is going on here?!

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...f103182/jb.png

I'm with Mike on this one. Do we really want "The Rat" running the show in KC? The Cheatin Chiefs? No thanks.

as long as we are the WINNING CHIEFS!!
The Rat Wins, The Chiefs have not.

maybe its like an ap story. They all hear it from a "reputable" source and start repeating it as gospel from them?

!!!!Our New Gm Scott Pioli!!!!
 

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, 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.

R epost x 6

Check the Pioli thread, dude.

I really wasn't going to say it, but yeah, the under-handed techniques bother me. I'm not so naive that I think we play straight up and clean on every play, but our OL isn't taught to take out a DLs knees either.

Pioli now a Chief: Per ABC's Good Morning America
 

The scroll on Good Morning America said that the Chiefs have reached a deal with Pioli but the team is not confirming as of right now. I know, weird source, but ABC hasn't had to retract many stories. If true, this should be breaking from other sources sometime today.

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but that last line tells me you're full of it.

Pioli + Shanahan would be a duel threat.

-George Carlin

Repost: beat you to it. Check the "merged" thread. You guys are too good. :mad:

maybe that's why we already have a thread about it

Ted Nugent? Andy Rooney?

EPIC re-post FAIL!

And it reads like your saying those words.:shake:

It hurts me to say it, but I agree. I thought any coach would be better than Herm. While Shanahan is better than Herm, I don't want him to have anything to do with the Chiefs.

I'd hate to say it but I don't know how the hiring of Shanarat would affect my aliegence to the Chiefs. I really ****ing hate that guy. I think the only thing that would piss me off more would be to bring Gruden in.

the KC star sucks ass, they are suppose the cities newspaper and they havent reported 1 story about pioli even getting offered the job

I'd be happy to have him, but I'd still rather have Polian or Whaley. Those guys just seem to have better stand-alone track records.

So GMA is reporting it while its sister station ESPN whose sole purpose on TV is to report these things has nothing. I'm more convinced than ever that no one knows anything.

still waiting to see some report on Sportsline or some site like that before I believe it

I updated the thread starter with a cliffs notes version of everything. Until we get a confirmation from a semi-reliable source, it'd be nice to keep everything in this thread.

Im listening to nfl sirius to see if they have anything yet.

I'll be honest...I'm really tired of checking this thread

:D

C'mon people....Work harder. What's the scoop?

I'll try and keep the OP updated when I can (though I'm working today, so I may not be around when news breaks). I'll also update the thread title if anything definitive comes out.

lol, me too!

Yep. Just got a little excited with the good news. My mistake. Thanks for pointing it out though.

Any news on Ty Law? ROFL

i will never get tired of checking this thread, this thread rocks

it rocks until we find out he told the Chiefs to fock themselves.. then it will be the worst thread ever

I just saw on metro sports the chiefs signed him

this

If Rain Man is making you work today, you should make him babysit this thread for you.

any official links yet?

I dont have an official link but I wouldnt imagine metro sports would be bsing, they said its one of the biggest contracts at his position

None:cuss:

I'm not getting my hopes up until its Officially Official!! lol

It's officially unofficial though....

This reminds me of Christmas morning as a little kid.

You KNOW what's in that big wrapped present, but Dad just hasn't let you open in yet....

Anyone just listen to 101.1 the fox right now? LOL I will paraphrase for you

*MOTORIN' WHATS YOUR PRICE FOR FLIGHT!****** fade out

That was sister christian from of course rock hall of famers Night Ranger. Alright if you have to pee or do number 2 you might want to do it before this announcement. Ladies and Gents.

For those of you who don't know Pioli is the GM of the Superbowl Winning team the New England Patriots (boing/boner sound effect) he is now the the General Manager for your (Inserted Mitch hothus TOUCHDOWNNNN KANSUS CITY CHIEFS...
