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.

Could be about the new stadium sponsorship or...who knows? Last "major" press announcement was that we were going to be on Hard Knocks. So its probably nothing.

He's probably going to announce that he really enjoys Papa John's new Wheat Crust and everyone should go out and get one with the new wheat crust. Then Mitch Holthus pops his head out behind the curtain and does his advertising bit that you hear on 101.1.

I think two weeks ago the Chiefs said they would announce 2009 ticket prices/plans after the first of the year. My guess this could be the announcement, but a new sponsor wouldn't surprise me.

I think last year was the last year for the KCTV 5 preseason deal, so it could be related to that.

I think I've got it. Look at next years schedule on kcchiefs.com? Notice anything? 9 home games instead of 10. Bet we are playing in Germany or something next year.

Where are you seeing that? I thought they didn't release preseason schedules until April or so.

and you know this how?

The AFC East team that is missing is the Bills and that is because that wasn't decided until the final week. I'm sure the Chiefs have just not updated the site because of the Holiday's.

Two things to keep in mind.
1. The NFL has already announced that the Bucs and Pats are playing the International Game in London next year.

2. I doubt anyone would want to waste international exposure on the Chiefs vs. Bills.
Buffalo played an International Game this season in Toronto.

Hey, we are just speculating on a "major" announcement. It's probably naming rights or something like that.

All 10 teams at home with the correct dates.

I bet Garmin got the stadium rights. They advertised a ton during the NFL season.
