Man, 810 guys are really annoying. I thought it was just the Philly ESPN radio group that were a bunch of idiots....

I would love that. If it doesn't happen, I'm blaming you!!!!!!

Hogwash. Only kcnut has mad prognostication skillz.

Well then he should get his ass over here and tell us that it's going to happen!

Yea Clarks gonna come out and say what a great job Herm is doing.

I feel a good-sized poop coming on. Maybe God is trying to tell me that the Chiefs are close to pooping out a deal with Pioli?

That was quite a rant! Feel Better?

He actually has excepted the Lions job, in hopes that he can accept the Chiefs job. If he does accept the Chiefs job, then it's acceptable that he excepted the Lions job. The exception is that if he excepts the Chiefs job because he accepted the Lions job, then his original exception may have been unacceptable, except for the fact that he accepted the Lions job, meaning the exception was accepted by the Lions owner.

I don't feel a poop, but I am seriously ghassy, and have been offending many of my co-workers. This could also mean that Pioli is coming here.

:shake:

Dude, I sure hope you are right

Isn't except a noun and accept the verb?

Are you serious?

Damn our education system is pathetic.

No

ROFL Very Monty Python like IMO. Heard John Cleese during the entire post. ROFL Rep!

Wow, me too! I think if Pioli signs, we're both owed a cash sum as a thank you for bringing him here to KC.

I really meant preposition or conjunction. I wasn't really thinking when typing. My bad.

thank you grammer nazi, even though I typed that when I was still half asleep

You'll learn....:D

Lighten up, Francis - just having a little fun...

Oh, and it's "grammar". ;)

Well, according to Luke Wilson, contracts are just niceties that decorate paper and double as toilet paper in a crunch.

He's your Sports Business Phd around these parts, so ask him.

wtf is going on, no updates yet!!

According to 810, still no Scott Pioli... *SIGH*

That's also according to ArrowheadAddict, ArrowheadPride, and GoogleNews.... It's really hard to keep studying right now.

Is there no Pioli b/c he actually isn't Clark's top target? No one knows what the **** is going on, including the people reporting that Hunt wants Pioli to be the next GM.

Perhaps there is no news because the Ravens (or Steelers) are still playing football.

I don't think there's any news because Clark, and his guys have done an outstanding job of keeping things under wraps. We didn't even know he had conducted the over half dozen interviews that have already taken place.

But the small info that has surfaced all point towards Pioli being the top candidate.

Him doing it out of Dallas is the best thing, I know its driving people nuts which is a good thing bc it means football people know that he keeps stuff confidental and that translates into top people and players wanting to play and work for him.

Most likely, you're all in for a huge letdown if your attitude is "Pioli and nothing else will do".

It's a conspiracy to boost 810's ratings in the wake of college basketball. Everybody and their mother was listening to 810 yesterday, the feed percentage was down to 15.

This all could be true. But most of this "information" is really speculation that Pioli is the top guy.

The only thing we really know is that the dude has interviewed. Well, maybe Pioli isn't as impressive in an interview situation. Not saying this is the case, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

truth..

What if we get Pioli and he really really sux @ss?!?! lol


just sayin'

Well that would draw another parallel to Hugh Douglass, as he sucked major ass after going to JVille (if memory serves).

He is my top guy, but am not in the Pioli, or nothing camp as long as Herm gets the boot.

It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved before. I never loved CP. I want to love Scott Pioli (in a totally non-gay way, I swear), even if we lose with him....

That saying is talking about football GM's, right?

And that's the thing. Without the Hoodie, it's possible. I doubt it, but it's possible.

Everyone has locked onto Pioli b/c it's the name most of us recognize. Doesn't mean he's the best selection, or that Clark is as enamored with him as we believe him to be.

That would give you some insight into my day to day life.

This place will be really entertaining if Herm is retained.

This could very well be true, and it's a strong possibility that another GM is the better man for the job.

OOHHH yeah.

well, I'll be wanting to love (in a non-gay way) ANY GM that is going to be hired after CP

If we hire Pioli I am going to eat my own shit.

i HATE this

Rumblings from the American Football Coaches Association convention this week:

Ferentz to the NFL?

Some still wonder if Kirk Ferentz will remain coach at Iowa. One scenario that could unfold is that Ferentz would become coach of the Kansas City Chiefs if Scott Pioli becomes the Chiefs' general manager.

Mmm...yet another season of deciphering "Hermskrit" as the bus-chuckage reaches phenomenal new heights! yay!

Kangaroo boxing, anyone?

Oh dude. I do not think you will get to do that because we are not going to hire him. How about you bet on Herm's return?

LMAO

I can't bet on Herm's return, most likely he's going to be back.

Whatever dude. The situation in KC is getting ****ed up every day we approach the draft.

If Clark does this to Pioli, he may agree by 5 PM tonight.

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...adeBV/Wtf2.jpg

We might literally have to establish contacts with a crisis hot-line. There would be posters whom I'd truly be worried about.

hahaha, yeah, I agree. My cat is free. Do you think the Chiefs would hire him?

I can't take much more of this crap. What is the damn hold up? I don't get it.

Notice: Look at the ****ing loser who has wasted WAY too much time!!!

I'm looking forward to this kind of patience while we're developing a franchise QB...

It's ****ing torture. Browns and Boncs got their coaches in less than a week.

I think it's a move by Pioli to find what's his price tag, if Kraft matches the offers that P gets. Then he's going back to NE. That what will happen.

Well this is good:

"Q: In light of recent events regarding coaching/personnel staff, is there any form of compensation due to the Patriots for losing Josh McDaniels, Scott Pioli (which is now looking likely) and potentially Dom Capers?
Dave, Mexico City




A: Dave, there is no compensation to the Patriots in the case of McDaniels, as he received a promotion. As I understand it, the same would be true for Pioli, who would have final-say authority over football decisions. Capers is not a compensation type situation either."




We wouldn't have to pay anything other than his contract!

you misunderstand me


i hate the fact that some people will literally hope something bad happens for the Chiefs just to watch all the fans be angry. :cuss:

That is a different story. It's a given in the NFL (and pretty much any other sport) that you wait to develop your players. But to hire a GM and wait this long?

I do not know, I think the 20 CP years we had made us impatient fans. I don't blame us a bit.

There will always be some mitigating circumstances to use as an excuse for some.

With Brodie, it was obvious (and legit). Dude was always broken. With another young QB, it will be something else. His mechanics are all ****ed up, for example.

Some would say that others are already doing this with Thigpen, myself included. He's back-up material only in my book, but I could be calling this WAY too soon.

No, really? That's only been a rule for a few years now.

How many other teams have hired their GM already?

None of the GMs last season signed this early IIRC.

Oh, I don't think there are any posters who claim to be fans that want this.

Mecca, for example, draws a lot of ire for this, but I think it's misdirected.

We all want the same thing. Some of us are a bit more homerish than others.

I don't think we're gonna' get ANYTHING until Pioli AND the new HC are a done deal.

I look at it this way; it's a bunch of basketball shit I don't have to listen to on 810 everyday, crouched about the computer like some raging crackhead looking for a crumb.

If we draft Bradford, you'll be getting MUCH exercise of that particular variety.

Ever been to a 4-year aerobics class? Bring your water.

The interweb has done this to us. Imagine if the shit that went down in the movie Miracle happened now. We'd all know about it instantly. That shit actually went down during the night while most people in the US were sleeping, and was re-aired at like 7pm the next night. The entire country got to watch it and barely anyone knew the ending. Now, we know if anyone sneezes too loudly or doesn't wash their hands after using the bathroom.

We get the information so fast that we expect the decision process to also be really fast.

Nope.

Dimitroff was the first, a year ago today.

All hires took place this week last year, or later. Some not until the last week of January.

The fact that Mike Reiss keeps saying he thinks Pioli comes here makes me think it's really going to happen and happen soon.

That dude is in deep with the Pats, he doesn't post stuff just to post it.

It's not just the QB position.

This fanbase has already declared Glenn Dorsey a bust.

I wonder if this type of premature reaction will change since Carl is gone?

There was such a negative stigma around him, that any decision that he was remotely involved in was deemed a failure immediately--I'm talking anything business to football related. Same with Herm, to a lesser extent.

The same people will now be posting with positive expectations, "Well, if Pioli wanted him..."

That's not true.

I dont think Glenn is a bust, so I must not be a fan.

You should have said "morons in the fanbase have already declared Glenn Dorsey a bust." I'm not saying he's perfect or that he looks like a stud yet or that he won't be a bust, but right now, he had an above average rookie year for a DT and will hopefully get better with better coaching next year!

The fan base has declared Gun and Krummy a bust, and rightly so.

that's news to me...

No, you can still be a fan. You're just a good fan. He's not a bust yet. (He may be in the future even though I don't want it)

Yes, it is.

The majority of this fanbase has proclaimed Glenn Dorsey a bust.

I'm not saying everyone, but the patient folks are part of the minority, around here, other forums, the call-in shows and Arrowhead itself.
