The Pioli Watch Thread

[cardken]

I'm hijacking the thread starter to use for an "updates" area. Sorry cardken. Here are a few recent updates:

New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli has agreed to become head of football operations for the Kansas City Chiefs, two NFL sources confirmed to ESPN's Michael Smith.
The vice president for player personnel at New England, Pioli, 43, is close to Patriots coach Bill Belichick and has been with the Patriots for nine years. Pioli would find a warm welcome in Kansas City. At the last Chiefs' home game, shortly after the embattled Carl Peterson resigned after 20 years as president, general manager and CEO, several signs were spotted in the crowd proclaiming, "We want Pioli." Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I find it interesting that Schwartz hasn't excepted the Lions offer right off the bat, because it seems like he's waiting if Pioli accepts the KC job so he can work in a more favorable situation.

Piss on you.

Defections might take a toll

Watching former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels step off a private jet outside of Denver yesterday wearing an orange tie was jarring enough. But when coupled with the thought of Scott Pioli following him out the door, it feels more like a car wreck.

It's Dungver; they've a douche-nozzle for a QB, who will karmic-douche his way to obscurity just like his Wonder-Twin in San Diego.
Relax.

Pioli, the team’s vice president of player personnel, remains in talks with the Kansas City Chiefs and could soon be eating at Arthur Bryant’s nightly.

AB's isn't the only rib in town; we'll introduce him to many more plus all the Steak Houses.
Your boy belongs to us now.

Belichick obviously is the key figure in all of this, and some believe he’ll simply take control of the offense himself while breaking in a coordinator, much like he did with McDaniels in 2005. But it’s asking a lot of him to run the offense and assume a greater portion of Pioli’s responsibilities on the personnel side.

You can’t wear that many hats without eventually tipping over.

The Pats are about to become Carl Peterson's Chiefs; Groovy.

The bigger question is Pioli. While there have been whispers that things are heating up with the Chiefs, he’s still a member of the Patriots front office. If the Pats lose him, the very way they acquire players will be torn in two.

See above.

I thought his contract is up. Or is it over after the SB? I thought NE would have to re-sign him if they wanted him.

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?

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.
