We're plenty negative.

LMAO

And that would mean that Tiecher's take on Clark wanting to interview the other guys first is incorrect.

I heard earlier in the week that Clark interviewed Jimmy Ray and the guy from Tampa.

After what Teicher has said many times before, I think he knows about as much about the inside workings of the Chiefs as we do.

I keep trying to look at other threads and skip over this one...But...just...can't.

Why oh why are there no good and new threads...ah yes because EVERYONE IS HERE!

Tiecher doesn't know anymore than we do.

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

It's like a trainwreck and I can't pull my eyes away.

Exactly. Teicher has NEVER broken a story that I know of.

If that's true, that's AWESOME!:D

The KC Star "reporters" are the laziest and lamest in the USA.

Of course he's a sexist pig, he's got these!

*Cups nuts*

Teicher's been mailing it in since I got to town. 10 years ago.

Adam "Bozo the freakin clown" Teicher

Yep, but at least Tiecher admits on his vlog he really doesn't know anything. If it were Athan's vlog, he'd just be making a bunch of shit up.

Jimmy Raye cannot be interviewed until the Chargers are out of the POs.

Jimmy Raye III can be interviewed anytime except sunday, they are not the same as the coaches.

Jimmy Raye can be interviewed whenever the Chargers say so.

OIC

Slackers.

NO PRESS CONFERENCES SCHEDULED BY CHIEFS

Posted by Mike Florio on January 8, 2009, 3:46 p.m. EST

As the Scott Pioli rumors/speculation continue in Kansas City, we’re told that none of the various media outlets working the story have bothered to ask a simple question of the team.

Are any press conferences scheduled?

We’re also told that no press conferences are scheduled, which undercuts the ever-expanding suggestion that a deal is close to done, and that an announcement is close to imminent.

610Sports in Kansas City reports that the Chiefs have offered Patriots VP of Player Personnel Scott Pioli their GM position.

However, the sides have yet to agree on control. Owner Clark Hunt prefers to hire a money man to handle the finance side while Pioli keys on personnel, which Hunt presumably feels is his strong suit. If Pioli wants power over both responsibilities, he may just stay in New England. Hunt also wants Pioli to keep Herm Edwards as coach. We're guessing Pioli would have none of that.

Hypoerbole Planet.

No kidding.

They're not even the worst in the state. The Post-Disgrace down in the Lou is pathetic.

KC Star sports section gets a lot of credit nationally from its peers in the newspaper industry. People may not give a shit about that...no biggie. Even if that were not the case it is funny watching users around here fall into the same dramatic trap that plagues sports message board.

X is always the worst at X without any doubt.

It is stupid and makes the user seem like all they want to do is hear themselves bitch.

Dude, seriously, I don't know when to shut my mouth on this shit, so I'm a reerun, but Nick was up at 1 AM last night working his sources. He doesn't make stuff up.

Then how come he made up that story about Al Saunders?

I have never heard anything come from his mouth that was not a paraphrase of info that was available on another news outlet first.

Pretty much. I find all these rumors floating around funny. If Clark has managed to keep a lid on it thus far, ain't no way random newspapers, Len Dawson, or Bob the Poster will know anything...

All the leaks are coming from the New England/Cleveland side of the story.

I used to post on the Royals board over there, and the stuff Athan made about baseball was even lamer. He was getting laughed at over there, and those guys didn't even know his reputation. The funniest one I remember was that the Royals were close to acquiring Alex Rodriguez.

ROFL

That was an epic fail and it still gets brought up in damn near every trade thread.

But at least he may get credit starting a possible Hall of Classics thread.:clap:

How much credit does Teicher get nationally? How many awards?

Posnanski he's not.

Beat writing is a thankless job.

Not to bust your balls, Zach but from whom?

Posnanski's been writing for SI and Whitlock for AOL and now Fox Sports.

But the KC Star Sports section getting national acclaim?

They don't break any stories of nationwide interest (i.e. the SF Chronicles and the Balco scandal), they don't cover high-profile teams like the Lakers, Dodgers, Mets, Giants or Yankees (let alone the Cubs or Red Sox) and their beat writers (like Teicher) flat-out suck.

Especially when you suck at it (not you personally)

Maybe the Star gets points for layout or something, but overall, the writing is horrible.

Other than JoPo, the STL-PD blows the Star out of the water when it comes to writing.

Rick Hummel is in the Baseball HOF, and Bernie Miklasz and Bryan Burwell is as good as it gets for a small market fish-wrap. Jim Thomas is one of the highest regarded beat writers in the NFL. He makes Teicher look like a 5th grade essay writer to win a contest for free Monster Truck tickets.

I think Zach is probably talking about Poz and Whitlock.

Tell that to John Clayton or Len Pasquarelli or even Christopher Price.

Or Ivan Carter

Posnanski's been AP Sports Columnist of the Year I believe twice.

Posnanski is regarded as one of the best baseball guys in the country. I agree though that the Star's overall coverage is lame, but who reads the newspaper nowadays anyway?

I was sad to see him go. Glad he's doing well, but I have zero interest in the NBA so I've not read anything of his in well over a year now. Still, I think he was my favorite member of the Star's staff in the last 10 years.

Right.

But he's NOT the sports section. He's an occasional columnist who's doing less and less work for the Star.

He's a great writer.

Never said he did.

Of course Posnanski he is not. He is a beat writer.

http://www.kansascity.com/awards/

"Sports Daily won top-10 honors for its Sunday sections and special sections. The Star also led all big-circulation newspapers in 2006 with seven top-10 finishes in the contest’s writing categories."

I don't really give that much of a shit about the Star but it is funny to hear people bitch and moan about the beat writing. They are dependent on the Chiefs organization. Who isn't all that information friendly.

So which way do CPers prefer to slam them because they will be able to either way. Either they pass on what they can confirm from the organization or they could go on unnamed sources and rumors that may or may not pan out because that is the nature of the process.

But what do I know THEY ARE THE WORSTEST IN THE HISTORY OF WRITING!!!

That's true now, but he did receive those awards when the Star was his meal-ticket, and I'd say he's still their main attraction, although some would argue it's Whitlock.

In any case, papers are dying everywhere, the Star hasn't cornered the market on that. Just the way of things.

He's had some great stuff in Sports Illustrated lately.

Yes, he is.

And he's not a very good one.

That's just simply NOT ****ING TRUE.

I 100% know the guy makes up stuff. He made up stuff to ME PERSONALLY.

Why should I believe he's any different now?

Have you ever listened to Teicher on the radio? He is on 610 once a week or so and pretty much what he says the opposite happens. For someone that practically lives at Arrowhead he doesn't get good info or has lousy sources.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

This thread is like climbing Everest. I read 12 pages to get to 54, then the ****er is at 58, now it will be at 60 by the time I post this, and the worst part is its like some weird universe where every post is repeated every 6 pages, really it is.

Its like scaling Everest and being 100 feet from the peak, but a cloud bank blocks your view, as you climb through it you find yourself halfway up the ****ing mountain.

Will somebody at the peak throw a large rock at me from up there? This shit is getting reeruned :( Im grouchy and want a new GM right NAO!

Unfortunately, it seems where this smoke is there is no fire, just a giant smoldering bowl of really great pot.

Finally, some news...

You will have to excuse Tim. He is not a hipster. ROFL

he said shit as fact that i knew was 100% untrue.
nuff fo me.

Zach again, I'm not busting your balls so please don't take it personally.

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.

Count me in.

LMAO


jerk :D

Apparently the Patriots version of WPI has said that Pioli to KC is a done deal

I hate you. That is the 12th time that news has broken.

Hold on I've got an email to share with you....

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?

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

NO! NO! I read about this email back on page 45 or 46, maybe it was 47, ****! I am losing control of my bowels now! Run while you can, get out of this thread before it swallows you up! You will never escape!!!

Great.

GoChiefs should be along shortly then to confirm.

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.

Page what? You should change your posts per page setting to the max (80).

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n.../FatChicks.jpg

Oh yeah, there's PLENTY MORE where that came from!

I really don't know why guys like him are continually being allowed to be employed and publish bs information to the public. what boggles my mind is that guy has bad credibility and he still makes up bs information. still.

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.

Don't ever do that again.

Every time that email hits, the Fat Lady is RIGHT BEHIND IT@

Why on earth?

This on Earth:

Meet the penalty for posting that same ****ing email every ten minutes.

610 just announced the Pioli deal is done and its for 6 years 40 million!!!

Also said Herm is done in KC....

This might be the first time on here this is said...no?

This ****ing thread grows about a page every 10 minutes. Things are going to get reposted. There is no reason to inflict that shit on us. :mad:

Thank God for adblock.
