This is the makings of a fanifesto. I agree 100%. Each incident can be rationalized or explained. And I admit I've been a part of that because I've wanted to believe SO BADLY that we finally had the right leadership to bring a Championship to Kansas City.

I was wrong. We all were.

His first move was to bring in a QB who has been one of the least clutch QB's in the recent history of the NFL. And despite the building evidence, said leadership continues to point to the occasional rays of light emanating from the dog's anal orifice to say "See! He's the man. He'll get it!"

Then he got into a pissing match with one of the most respected men in the history of this franchise...because Scott was busy? Busy doing what, ordering Tyson Jackson's embroidered jersey?

Then in his first opportunity to reshape the team, he made a great decision to fire Herm only to bring in Todd Haley, a complete bust.

If you were available as a football player but Boston wasn't stamped on your passport card, forget it. It was the most incestuous time I remember since Deliverance.

The bottom line is this. The arrogance and entitlement that those guys brought in here looks a lot less like swagger and a lot more like a pathetic facade that is crumbling.

Clark, this city and fans love the Kansas City Chiefs. But not blindly, and not without demanding accountability for failures paid for by US.

so Clark is an anal Dude? figures.

Getting really tired of all this negativity, guys. Stop trolling.

Au contraire

LMAO

I thought about mentioning that comment, but left it alone.

The ****, dude.

You think this team can win 12 games.

I heard the interview with Lazlo, surprised to hear it was a planeteer (ie, he was actually well-spoken and didnt reference poop/antifreeze once).

I hope this picks up legs and he gets more interviews, he seemed very knowledgeable and together, even with a guy like Lazlo who likes to throw curveballs at people.

No.

Once again, this team SHOULD win 12 games.

That is different from saying they'll win 12 games.

You don't know or aren't familiar with AriChiefs or Teedubya? He was AliChiefs before that.

The guy only has about 50,000 posts.

Don't forget taxing the average jackson county citizen so that Clark can pay the team taxes.

He's the guy who polluted the Joplin tornado thread with posts about how it was likely a government created weather threat.

Could not have put it better. :thumb:

Dane, calling you on your homer BS. Own up.

500 upvotes!

I am, but he didnt refer to himself in the interview as "teedubya"

I wonder at what point Scotty calls Clark and tells him "We have a problem"

Nooiiicce.

Um, that's pretty pathetic, especially considering I didnt make any predictions or forecast.

And Poe was definitely further along on Sunday than anyone in this forum predicted.

Ah. Did he say his name?

What's pathetic is you thinking this is the best Chiefs team ever, a playoff win is likely, and we're gonna make some noise.

You went full homer this preseason.

Didn't take much for you jump ship. Thanks for seeing the truth.

I'll take the props for seeing it coming whenever you want to lay them on me.

I hope Phobia breaks the Pioli fired story and has a thread about it.

I've called him out on this before. Infact in that thread I think I might have predicted this.

Ought to join up with the No More Glass campaign across the parking lot and run both of these jokers out of Kansas City

Ever? Read it again, Chief.

Gonna make some noise means they'll be better than most members thought at the time. Since then, the national media has jumped in as well.

There's certainly enough talent to win a playoff game and I'm not throwing in the towel after one game. It's way too early for that.

I agree. That doesn't mean I'm not expecting disappointment.

That would be sweet if the chiefs got a stop or two. Then Arrowhead could really do it's thing. That opening drive killed the crowd

True.

But is it still likely?

That's what you said.

You said a playoff win was likely.

Chances diminishing?

gochiefs taking yet another thread off the tracks...

might as well change the title to "gochiefs and dane argue like 6th graders".

Right.

And it also doesn't mean that Cannoli hasn't been a disaster terms of marketing, the fan base, hiring and firing along with employee treatment.

This roster, outside of QB, is pretty loaded. Also, I made those comments before Menzie went on IR. The Chiefs faced the Falcons without the services of Hali, Flowers, Bailey and Toribio.

All is not lost because they were beaten by a better team on Sunday.

After one game? No.

Playoffs, here we come!

I was wondering what their tweet apologizing to a fan was about

It would appear that Teedubya is the curveball.

Are you trying to say Jesus Pioli can't hit a curveball?

Next thing you know, Rerun's gonna become intarweb famous for his "7-11 defense" comments.

Chiefs apologize after Twitter message to fan goes viral
By: Annie Greenberg

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Chiefs may have messed with the wrong guy.

A direct message from the official @kcchiefs Twitter account to an angry fan ignited a social media firestorm Tuesday, underscoring the viral nature of this digital age.

Travis Wright, a global social media manager based in Kansas City, tweeted a gripe about the Chiefs' low payroll spending on Monday night. The next day, he posted the following direct message he received from the team's official Twitter account (pictured above):

"Would help if you had your facts straight. Your choice to be a fan. cc get a clue"

Wright posted the screengrab of the message on several social media sites Tuesday, including Reddit, where the thread received over 50 comments within the first hour.

The Chiefs tweeted the following apology late Tuesday afternoon:

I apologize to the fans for my response to a tweet sent to me earlier. No excuse for my actions. I am truly sorry and it won't happen again.

A team spokesman confirmed that the apology was in relation to the exchange with Wright, and said an employee in the social media department acknowledged making a mistake. They declined to provide further comment.

But Wright wasn't even aware of the apology tweet until a Reddit user pointed it out. The Chiefs blocked his account, @teedubya, on Twitter after the exchange Monday night.

He said that as of early Tuesday evening, he was still blocked.

"The funny thing about (the apology) is that I personally didn't see it," Wright said. "They didn't apologize to me, they apologized to everyone else because of the backlash."

Wright said that as the social media manager for a Fortune 500 company, he has to deal with disgruntled customers on an almost daily basis. While it is easy to get frustrated, he explained that he knows he's the voice of a billion-dollar brand, and makes sure he represents it properly.

"That's why I made a big stink about it," he said. "I'm not trying to get the guy (who sent me the message) fired, I' m trying to get them to understand they can't treat their fans with contempt."

Of all the fans the Chiefs could have riled up, Wright was probably not the best choice. With more than 123,400 Twitter followers -- compared to the Chiefs' 107,600 -- he has a larger audience than the team.

Wright, who is from Butler, Mo., and now lives in Lee's Summit, said he has been a Chiefs fan his whole life and has gone to more than 100 games.

He hopes the Chiefs learn from this experience.

"In the Twitter age, everyone has an audience -- mine happens to be over 120,000," he said. "Now, every voice can be heard."

TW is a smart guy but I dunno if I would be comfy with this exposure.

He's a douche, but that is prety cool.

As long as he represents himself well publicly, it is GREAT exposure.

well I guess he did that well?

I followed up with PFT and sent along the KSHB story.

Teedubya's career makes this story A LOT more intriguing.

LMAO

:troll:

Agree wholeheartedly. This story is picking up some major traction.

The NFL will attempt to squash it if it gets too big. I was hoping someone would break out with an attempt to uncover the shit that went on when Haley was fired last year. Would love to see that re-opened and investigated

You're all assuming most people will be outraged by it though. If you look at KSHB's facebook page post with this article... it looks like it's about 50/50, and a fair number of people are applauding the Chiefs for defending themselves.

You also said "if healthy" this team was anything but healthy on defense last week

You'll be joining us soon.

In a month or two, 75 percent of the fanbase will want BLOOD.

Damn homers

Yeah, that's the issue. The original tweet wasn't exactly friendly and the original point (Chiefs are cheap) is at least somewhat debatable.

You should see the comments on Fox 4's Morning News Facebook page. People are actually insulting Teedubya!

They are.

Just for doing that they owe it to the fans for putting a better product on the field.

From Fox 4's comments on Facebook

"These are not true fans. True fans dont see game as just a W or a L. The first half was a great game other than the Defense not clicking together. The offense was on fire. Defense was completely drained the second half and ATL made great changes at half time and shut down their offense. No one has said a word at how great Cassell played in the first half but a bad few plays at end and omg he is the worst QB ever!! Dont call yourselves fans, call yourself band wagon riders."

Fortune 500 company huh?

Wonder if they let him wear his tinfoil hat to the office.

We are still powerless.


The only way anything happens is if the media takes over and goes crazy about Pioli being the way he is.


On a sidenote, Pioli is probably a twitter follower of Ari. Pioli is as paranoid as they come.

Can't argue with that.

Im not sure the average fan is informed enough to know the cheapness of the Chiefs. Hell, many Royals fans still buy the small market propoganda. Would your mom or sister know that the Chiefs are $25 million under the cap?

what the hell is a band wagon rider.

KK will be all over this tomorrow. Guarantee it.

Do you feel better about yourself now?

Pioli is going to send Cassel over to break his leg with a screen pass.

The issue, as I see it, is that salary cap is a pretty dubious measure of team spending. It could be that we're always so far under the cap just because Pioli is good at manipulating the cap. But unfortunately, it's harder to get any sort of accurate measure of true team spending.

Wtf you talking about

If you search @kcchiefs on twitter ol TeeDubya pops up first in the results. The only things you'll find in there are this info and that Sheffield was cut to make room for Hali. LMAO

It's fun to take shots at people when they aren't here to defend themselves, eh?

I should have said,"National Media".


Our local media has been a joke since Whitlock left. Hopefully he gets this thing rolling.

LMAO

To be fair, TW is clearly a big conspiracy theorist. That's just factual.

Annnnd, KSHB is on their way to his house to do an interview for the evening news. Here. We. Go.

Reynolds Wrap is a huge company man.

Yeah. Hopefully they don't start digging around on here and other places as a result of this exposure about some of his wackier ideas/posts as that could be personally and professionaly damaging to him.

Don't be dumb.

TW thinks that the gubermint makes "weather bursts" that make bad things happen.

Sauto's dead on.

Sedated was the last dude on the news from CP right?

****ing awesome.

This is incredible.

Was he banned? What's up with the "Not around" comment?

Him and maybe Mr. Blond.

Na, he left in protest of the Hootie ban IIRC.

What does his beliefs on other things have to do with the Chiefs being cheap? It's a pretty popular belief in Kansas City. If they go after him that's complete bullshit.
