I think he could give a shit less about a banner and fans booing....at least right now.

Fair enough, but I do feel he is worried about his public image and the driving force behind the false booing stories being blasted out.

What a ****ing disaster this season has been. Has to be the worst season in Chiefs history.

I can't help but find it absolutely amazing that people who were actually at the game could possibly disagree on whether Cassel's injury was cheered or not!
even if you were in close proximity to some folks that were cheering the injury, I wouldn't think it would have been to hard to decipher whether or not the rest of the crowd was doing likewise. and I have YET to see any video evidence that support the Chiefs crowd being dicks. every video I've seen, the cheering dies down just after the runner is tackled....only to pick up again when Cassel gets up. in one video after the cheering dies down you can hear one clown yell "get off the field". very douchesque. but just one dude.
the conflicting stories.....I don't get it.

The driving force behind the booing story is a fiery sound bite from a player, plain and simple. In this 24 news cycle, the media will latch onto any "story" that they're able to take a stance on, regardless the facts. It's the world we live in, and Pioli has nothing to do with it.

Okay Okay...

:huh:

Maybe this will cheer you up...

National media latches on to it and even when it's proven that what Winston said didn't happen they won't change the story because it doesn't make for as good a story.

Did 810 just go off the air?

My favorite part about the whole thing is that Cassel goes down after dumping the ball off the Charles and then Charles runs for like 13 yards and gets a first down. People start cheering. Then Cassel isn't getting up and you don't hear cheers anymore, you just hear the collective noise of 60000+ people in the same area. When he gets up people clap and cheer with the players. And the story is that the fans were cheering when he was down and didn't stop. Mike Golic was dogging the fans and said that he cheers for the big hit, blah blah blah, but when I see the guy is hurt I stop... kinda like the fans at the game, idiot.

I wonder how many of these dumbasses sounding off on Winston's rant have actually seen the play.

The timing of the play was strange, thus the different opinions. Jamal busts a long play, crowd cheers. 25 yards behind that, Cassel had been knocked down but the play didn't look particularly vicious. Most fans' attention was on Charles down the field. It was 5-10 seconds after he was tackled that many realized Cassel was down. He started to get up, then went back down. There was a discernible "cheer" from a few when he went back down and just stayed there. I'm not the only one that heard it, as the group of people in my section actually discussed it.

Seems like Winston had Pioli's hand up his ass like a ventriloquist dummy.

They really made this whole thing backfire on the fan uprising!
Phantom injury followed by an outspoken rant against the fans resulting in deflected media focus.
Genius move.
Advantage Pioli.

Pioli with the kill shot!

Yep.

In the neighborhood of zero.
