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 just don't respect them as a bunch of cheaters. BB should be banned from the NFL. I would not take this ****ing bullshit. He's a disgrace to the game, even if he's a genius.

I don't know what I'd be doing if I lived in KC... maybe stalking Clark Hunt... anyone know how to put a phone tap in?

It's just that the guy has no business in the top five, let alone the top ten of this year's draft.

That isn't how the phrase "let alone" works.

Not that he's even coming here, or is a good choice, but driving you nuts is quickly becoming his BIGGEST selling point.

You really are mental.

"let alone

I think it's right... Could you fix it so it is right? I love grammar....

If you switched the top10 part with the top 5 part it would be correct.

I thought it sounded better the other way though.
Like "people are saying that he's a top 5 pick, but he shouldn't even be picked in the top 10!" That's how I read that sentence...

Oh, and what the **** is up with that reeruned accent? That was the only problem I had with Gone Baby Gone and Good Will Hunting. Those accents are stupid. Redneck southerners sound smarter than people with that ****ing boston accent.

Why do the chiefs move so slow?

I don't understand? shouldn't it really take this long to hire a general manager?
