I meant to thumbs up this post. Fat fingered it. Sorry

YOU BASTARD! :D

Any doubt the equipment manager is a Reid guy?

In my brief stint as a Worlds or Fun company courier you wound up doing a lot of currier work for the Chief being we were close to the airport. Bobby Yarborough was always getting stuff in to try out from manufacturers. It would come to Lamar's underground storage and I would be tasked with getting it to Bobby. He was a hell of a dude and also doubled as trainer as he taped most the players ankles and such. He designed a lot of stuff including Willie Lanier's extra stip of cushion on his helmet. I asked him why he did that he said because he suffered a subdural hematoma in his first year with Chiefs.
Here is a short interview with Bobby with interesting Chiefs tidbits.

I just can’t believe that teams do not have someone in place to make sure equipment makes it through transition points. There is just too much money involved in this business to not have these fail safe systems in place.

It's the airline fault they didn't load it usually the team inspect the gear on Saturday but the pat stadium was hosting a high school game so they couldn't do it untill today.

'greed

Humans doing human stuff...

So do we know if they got their gear yet or not?

You're really trying to push this conspiracy angle huh?

According to ESPN the gear arrived.

Forfeit

Yeah the gear is there now

This cant happen or shouldn't. The chiefs have a list of what is where in the packing crates. It gets scanned in and checked off its aboard. When it arrived they should have had someone to check the scanned list of items deboarded. There has to be more to this story.

No they didn't. The equipment guys are making makeshift pads and helmets out of pots, styrofoam and spare plastics they find lying around.
