Cricket is the superior sport, anyway. It's more widely recognized over the world, and KC happens to have a great set of owners that treat the fans well.

Once professional ultimate frisbee gets on track, Kansas City will be the new Title Town as long as you forget about football and baseball.

I have trouble understanding cricket.

Glory.

Pioli was Clark's first hire. He was a hot commodity.

What else should Clark have done?

Now, if Pioli is here next season, then it's a legit complaint.

So do I. One of my colleagues is Indian and apparently follows it as much as I follow the Chiefs. He's also got a fancy ass satellite dish that can pick up the channels that carry it in India, though.

One of these days I'll watch a match with him and see if I can pick it up.

Hire someone who would run the organization in a manner that respects the fans and his families vision for what supposedly the Chiefs should be in this community.

Oh...and win.

Ya know. Beat other NFL teams.

It seems interesting. I will sit down and give it an honest try with someone who knows something about it though it does not seem like my kind of game.

Just an observer's viewpoint, but it appears he's blaming 40 years of futility on a man whose been calling the shots for only 6 years, and made precisely ONE hire - one that 98% of fans and the media thought was brilliant at the time.

Small sample size, wouldn't you say?

Now, if he ****s up the next hire, or leaves Pioli in place after this season, I can get on board.

Clark's not the sole decision maker though, right? He's just chairman of a larger Board.

I don't think Clark is Lamar but I don't understand how you can totally disconnect the two. The Hunt family has brought us failure for so long and when Clark had a chance to change that he made it worse. MUCH worse.

Maybe he does better going forward. I don't understand where that optimism is coming from though.

Another part of my point that I feel like people are missing though is that its not just about hiring a GM. I don't think Clark has the magic sauce to make this organization a winning one from the top. A lot of small things go into building a successful organization.

Are you being obtuse on purpose?

It isn't nice to make fun of Zach's weight no matter how much of a candy ass he's being.

Not in the least. That is what I believe he should have done. Why bring an east coast mentality to a midwest team creating a disconnect between the organization and the fans.

That is aside from being a ****ing horrible football team.

He's the CEO

Me too. I decided at the end of last season that there was no point in watching any Chiefs game if they were going to continue with Cassel. Having the Sunday ticket ever week and being able to watch real NFL teams has made it easier to ignore the Chiefs. The only time I see them now is when they show up on the Red Zone channel before one of their FG attempts.

Welp, thats it, i'm done, theres no point in even caring anymore, at all, ever.

Zach says Clark is a hopeless case, "doesnt have the sauce"... i'm sold.

Anyone who wants all of my Chiefs gear, shoot me a pm.
